     | 16,166 views

    The attitude of many "Christians" is that they want the blessings of Christ but yet they want to be able to indulge in all the worldly pleasures too. They think having the best of both worlds is the perfect, complete package; a great life. Let’s see what’

    YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS James 4:1-12 INTRODUCTION: There’s a Van Halen song called, “Best of Both Worlds”. Some of the lyrics are, “I want the best of both worlds, and honey I know what it's worth; If we could have the best of both worlds, a little bit of heaven ...read more

    Reconciled Through Christ Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 11, 2011
    based on 19 ratings
     | 27,632 views

    The Colossians believers had become recipients of God’s marvelous act of reconciliation. They had been made acceptable to God and are challenged to continue striving forward in the truth that had saved them.

    COLOSSIANS 1: 20-23 RECONCILED THROUGH CHRIST Having proclaimed the deity and work of Christ, Paul now reveals what it means to the people in Colossae. He thus returns to the thought of redemption. With joyful wonder the Apostle testifies to the Colossians believers that they too have become ...read more

    Whose criteria are you using to evaluate God’s men?

    Years ago, sigh, ages ago back in college a professor handed out a humorous letter from a mission board rejecting the Apostle Paul for sundry reasons. I was able to find it and have placed the letter at the end of this message. The author is unknown else I would give appropriate ...read more

    This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    There’s no getting around the fact that today’s text contains a part that strikes us as humorous, and the fact of the matter is that sometimes, we can do some funny things in church. A preacher was completing a temperance sermon: with great expression he said, “If I had all the beer in the ...read more

    based on 55 ratings
     | 27,562 views

    God’s wisdom gives peace but the churches to which James wrote were experiencing chronic hostility & sharp confrontations. They fought, coveted, quarreled & condemned others to obtain their desires. They were dominated by self-will

    JAMES 4: 1-5 THE PASSION OF SELF-GRATIFICATION [Romans 7:14-25] Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy wrote of a man who was dominated by the driving desire for self-gratification. To possess land was his highest pleasure. Someone promised him that he could own all of the land he could walk around ...read more

    Half our miseries are caused by fancying things that we think are coming upon us: half the things that we expect to come upon us never come at all. Where is our faith? “Do not be worried about tomorrow” that is the commandment of Christ, and it is the way

    Opening illustration: A seminar leader wanted to make an important point, so he took a wide mouth jar and filled it with rocks. “Is the jar full?” he asked. “Yes,” came a reply. “Oh, really?” he said. Then poured smaller pebbles into the jar to fill the spaces between the rocks. “Is it full now?” ...read more

    This sermon attempts to look beyond Peter’s denial to the passion that motivated the failure, and which the Lord was ultimately able to use powerfully.

     | 26,687 views

    Jude speaks of people who "infiltrate" the church to damage it. Who are they and why do they do that? And how can we "contend for the Faith" when faced with these kinds of folks?

    It was the winter of 1944. The German army was in a desperate situation and ultimately launched what became known as the Battle of the Bulge.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 14,322 views

    Freedom is a concept that is very important in today's world, yet not everybody really understands what the word means. False teachers promise liberty, but this not a promise they can fulfill. The freedom they offer is an empty freedom

    2 PETER 2: 17-22 [Our Precious Faith Series] EMPTY FREEDOM [John 7:37-38 / Revelation 21:1-8] Though the ultimate judgment of heretics is assured, Peter wrote as he did because of the damage they wreak in the church.

     | 42,574 views

    Being in the world can feel like an alien experience. Do we hide under sheets and hope not be detected? Do we marshal our forces in order to "not be part of the world"? Or does Jesus mean more when he says, "Be in the world, but not of it."
