    Uses the Black Eyed Peas’ song Where’s the Love as an outline for looking at the Christian concept of love (points out a few errors in the Black Eyed Peas thinking from a Christian perspective).

    Introduction There’s a song currently towards the top end of the music chart which I have listened to over the past month or so, on the radio as I drive back and forwards to Manchester each week and it causes me to think. You see initially the song appears to be quite Christian in its outlook and ...read more

    God s His people to have a surplus in the area of finances. If we are going to spread the message of the Gospel, we must move out of society’s wya of thinking concerning our money.

    II Corinthians 9:5-15; TEXT Ephesians 4:28 PART I God s His people to experience surplus in the area of their finances. In these verses, we see the foundation of this principle. During my years as a pastor, I have heard people in the congregation make this statement, “I don’t care about ...read more

    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,590 views

    The world wants you to conform to its thinking and its ways but what is needed is a transformation achieved through the new birth experience. Once achieved, we are to strive to be conformed to the image of His Son.

    CONFORMATION AND TRANSFORMATION “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2 I. Worldly conformation…the “ easy and popular way” “Enter in at the narrow gate; ...read more

    This sermon challenges us to consider who our neighbor really is and what we can do for him or her. It implores us to think about our community and not just our programs as a church.

    IMPACT! Do you ever wonder what kind of an impact you have on your family, friends or people in general? Do you stop to consider how your life matters in this world? Life is precious. It is a gift from God. And every one of us matters to someone. But sometimes I stop and ...read more

    We often want to look at what we think is a fruitless, burned over field, and throw up our hands and quit. May be this is a great opportunity to try again! Let God arise!

    IS THIS FRUITLESSNESS AT IT’S BEST? OR SHOULD WE TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Here I use a Galileo thermometer.

     | 29,380 views

    We all like to think of our selves as good, decent, and kind people. But, I was shocked to find out that the Bible tells us kindness doesn’t come naturally to us.

    (this was a sermon centered on the “Fruit of the Spirit" in Galatians 5:22-23a) Open: A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead. She described the situation in vivid detail so her students would catch the ...read more

    When we offer what we have to God – our wealth, our possession, our talents, or time - God blesses us abundantly in return, more than we ask or think.

    Offer what you have to God and you can see God’s blessings. • Simon offered what he has to Jesus; Jesus in return gave him what He can give. • He offered a fishing boat to preach on. Jesus gave him boats filled with fishes. • Jesus rewards him, and bless him with what he really wants – ...read more

    ...someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go” (Luke 9:57).

     | 17,136 views

    Paul tells us in the second half of chapter 4 that we need to let Christ sand us way down to the bear wood, in order to cover us with His way of thinking and acting.

    I like to see a nice new coat of paint on something - like this bench we had outside on our patio. The problem is - in order to have a nice coat of paint I had to strip off the old - but I was lazy. So when I painted the new coat on, the old paint underneath began to chip and peel and push the ...read more

    Joseph did not yield to this temptation. If we could learn to have the “mind of Joseph,” (Which was the Mind of Christ) it would give us the right thinking so that we, too, could resist temptation...
