    The Right Thing in the Right Way for the Right Reasons (I Thessalonians 2:1-12) 1. Our church has not always been a peace. We have had our conflicts over the years, and I have sometimes been labeled this way or that. 2. One challenge a church leader has in such situations is this: Do I defend ...read more

    THis is taken from Psalm 1. I did this message a couple of years ago, I do not remember where I got the outline.

    INTRODUCTION • Righteousness. What do you think of when you hear that word? Holier than thou? Think you’re better than others? Those things reflect self-righteousness? • What does it mean to be righteous? The word in our usage means, purity of heart. Doing the right thing, being ...read more

    The people were discouraged at the modest structure of the new Temple as they started rebuilding it. God assured them of His presence, His promise, and His power. The future glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house.

    Let’s recap. The Israelites came back from 70-years of captivity in Babylon. • They rebuilt the altar and started work on the Temple but the local Samaritans opposed them (cf. Ezra 3). • They were so discouraged they stopped work for some 16 years. Nothing was done to God’s house while they busy ...read more

     | 6,121 views

    The work of the ministry always goes on, in spite of past successes. That is why we need a practical assessment of where we are and where we are going.

    Title: Have We Accomplished Enough? Text: Luke 12:16-21 Introduction Church, we have had a good year. God has allowed us to accomplish, and even surpass, all of the goals we set for the year.

    based on 329 ratings
     | 22,794 views

    Our love for God is best measured by the use of our resources. God wants us to offer our entire selves as living sacrifices – sold out and on fire for God through and through.

    INTRODUCTION This week, I heard a sound I had not heard for at least six weeks. I was sitting at one of our city’s notoriously long red lights. There were a couple of cars in front of me, and when the light turned green, and the guy at the front of the line had was also slow off the light. In ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,742 views

    Walking by faith brings us into the supernatural power of God. The Spirit works in us to accomplish things that are impossible to our understanding. So there is a large measure of faith required to gain inward growth.

    As we press further into walking in the Spirit, it becomes obvious that faith holds a major key to our seeing & hearing in the Spirit. Walking by faith brings us into the supernatural power of God. The Spirit works in us to accomplish things that are impossible to our understanding. So there is ...read more

    Should Christians sue other Christians? Should Christians sue anyone? Is it ever right to use the laws of this nation to achieve a measure of justice? What does Paul say about this?

    Holy, Holy, Holy Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 11, 2015
     | 11,108 views

    God is separate from all that is sinful; He is the perfect measure of goodness. He is holiness itself--the source and standard of moral absolutes. Do we have a sense of God's holiness?

    Everything begins with God. He is at the center of our faith. Yet we don’t get out of bed each morning and mindlessly repeat “I believe” three times. We need to ask ourselves: “In whom do I believe?” We were made to know God. Do we? I’m not talking about ...read more
