    The Temptations Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 21, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,487 views

    The temptations expose our vulnerabilities. Beware of the devil's traps of performance (we are what we do), popularity (we are what others think), and possession (we are what we have).

    Jesus was tempted, so are we today. Jesus overcame the temptations, so can we today. • Even under a direct confrontation with the devil, alone in the wilderness, under harsh circumstances, Jesus won. If the devil tempts Him these ways, it would possibly mean that these were good entry ...read more

    Not In Vain Series

    Contributed by Michael Sawyer on Nov 10, 2013
     | 4,359 views

    A brief look at how we can avoid taking God's name in vain. Some things most don't think about that can injure our relationship to God.

    Not In Vain Today we will look at the 3rdcommandment: Exodus 20:7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. Many times we have heard of this command and many times I would guess that we thought of it ...read more

    I don't know about you...but I like that way, in fact I love that way... Gods Way...of thinking! How bout you? Amen??

    The "Right Here..Right Now.." Favor of God! Romans 8:!4-17 NKJ 14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15.

    How Can I Ask God?

    Contributed by Bledar Valca on Dec 24, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,178 views

    Some people think that is wrong to ask God for troubles that come our way. While it is wrong to complain, this sermon argues that you can approch God with a right attitude to understand.

    How Can I Ask God? Psalm 13 “If God is a God of love, how can He allow bad things to happen?” This is a question asked often by non-believers and believers alike. At times this is more likely an excuse rather than an honest question. Other times this is a heart-felt question. Children of God ...read more

    Sometimes what we think is so very tragic actually sets in motions things that moves our lives towards a greater purpose in God. This is the eighth message in the David series.

    DAVID—A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART 08—THE STONE OF DESTINY TEXT: 1 Samuel 20:18-22 1 Samuel 20:18-22 KJV Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. [19] And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt ...read more

    In Philippians 4:4-9 Paul gives us 5 tips for experiencing an authentic, satisfying Christian life, such as what we envision when we think of the Pilgrim fathers.

    Intro. Tell of the old New England tradition of setting five kernels of corn on the plate, on Thanksgiving day and of Governor Bradford giving thanks to God when, one winter, times were lean.

    The Reluctant, Rebellious, Pouting Prophet: Jonah Chapter 4 Series

    Contributed by Pastor Jeff Hughes on Feb 16, 2014
     | 6,223 views

    One would think that when an evangelist comes to a large city and practically the entire city repents and comes to faith, that the evangelist would be jumping up and down with joy to God. Not this prophet...

    The Reluctant, Rebellious, Pouting Prophet: Jonah Chapter 4 Today's message is the final in a four part series on the book of Jonah. Turn to page 1325 in your pew Bibles to Jonah chapter 4. If you have your own Bible, it is after Obadiah and before Micah in the Old Testament. So far, we've ...read more

    The God Of The Suffering Series

     | 6,030 views

    In what ways does God use suffering in the life of a Christian? Maybe this lesson can help you think about how God may work when you are suffering.

    I would like to follow up on the last sermon that I preached on the problem of evil and where I attempted to show why the unbeliever should not be using the idea of evil as an excuse to reject God. In spite of what the unbeliever may think about God or try to accuse Him of, God has a morally ...read more

    What Is The Mistake That Leads Toward The Unforgiveable Sin?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 5, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,689 views

    A look at the unforgiveable sin. I think the distinction that I share about why criticism of Jesus is acceptable but of the Holy Spirit is not will be helpful in getting to the heart of what Jesus is trying to convey.

    WHAT IS THE "UNFORGIVEABLE SIN" EXACTLY? It seems to be seeing consistently clear evidence of the Spirit’s movement and attributing it to Satan. - Luke 12:10. - The passage in Luke presents the shortest version of this saying in the gospels. The versions in Matthew 12:22-32 and Mark ...read more

    A Prosperous Hand Is Seldom Pious

     | 2,932 views

    Should we not resist to flaunt wealth or even seek it as a pastor when the world and even poor Christians think we lack integrity loving mammon rather than God?

    "Piety and prosperity seldom go hand in hand..." "We live in a day when the temptation to the indulgence of the flesh is very great. Luxuries are common. Piety and prosperity seldom go hand in hand, and in many a case the prosperity that piety and power have brought has been the ruin ...read more

    I’m In Need Of Resurrection – Part Ii Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,505 views

    Because of the indwelling Holy Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is the power that enables us to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the sinful thinking, immoral conduct and fickled feelings.

    Last time we looked at the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and learned that it has certain repercussions—it leaves a mark on those who are touched by it. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead has spiritual, psychological (mind, will, emotions) and physical ramifications ...read more

    Never for a moment think that God has forgotten you, in the darkest hour of your life, God is bringing people into your life that you may not recognize at that point of time. Amen.

    Differing situations highlight different characteristics of God; we need all. God is not the kind of God many people think He is. Seeing Him in action proves the point.

    God in Action: Past, Present, Future (Isaiah 63) 1. A lot of things look good or bad on paper, but are different when you experience. 2. Chicago White Sox team in 1973. Pizza in Nebraska. 3.
