    Hating Your Family For Jesus' Sake?! (A Sermon On Luke 14:25-33)

    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 24, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,828 views

    How can we hate our parents, partners and children? It has to be the most offensive exhortation Jesus ever gave - telling us that we have to hate the ones we love th most.

    As soon as I noticed that our Gospel reading today was the one that begins by telling us that we’ve got to ’hate our mothers and fathers’, I decided then and there to give my sermon today on Paul’s Letter to Philemon! No, as much as I’d like to do that, I feel I have to stick with "hate your ...read more

    Commitment is one of the words most people would like to remove from their dictionaries. Let’s go one step further to say that most people would like to remove it from their life style.

    COMMITTED FOR A LIFETIME Text: Proverbs 16:3,4 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Psa. 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to ...read more

    Don’t Ask How You Are Doing, Tell Them About Jesus

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Oct 25, 2013
     | 3,883 views

    Most know in their heart how they are doing in life. Those without Jesus know that there is an empty place in their heart that needs to be filled. But, most don’t realize what it takes to fill it.

    Don’t ask how you are doing, tell them about Jesus. Luke 5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto ...read more

     | 9,849 views

    It is important to understand there is a huge difference between knowing that God loves you and experiencing God’s love in your life. This is where so many people fall short.

    Song of Solomon 1:1-17 If you would ask somebody to quote John 3:16, there would be few people who could not do it, particularly people who attend church. But, if you would ask them what it meant you might not get the right answer. They could tell you the Bible says that God loves the world, but ...read more

    There is a difference between Christianity and religion and the difference is important to God.

    Title: Which do you have? Christ or religion? 483 years ago an event took place in Europe that would forever change the face of the Christian church. This event began when a German monk by the name of Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door at Wittenberg and as a result of that action ...read more

    The tongue has done more destruction to our society than terrorist’s attacks. It has been one of the most powerful forces stopping revival from happening in this nation.

    If you have ever felt that you had no value based on the statements of others then you need to read this message. As a child of the Most High God, you are extremely valuable to Him!

    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,032 views

    Cross-cultural communicators, in the past, have sadly neglected the issue of spiritual-power thinking that the use of reasonable Christianity is the best way to produce change. However, in most non-western societies, the issue of power is central to most

    USING POWER EVANGELISM IN CROSS -CULTURAL COMMUNICATIONS Illustration;About 40 percent of Americans characterize the nation’s moral values as "poor" and 41 percent say the state of moral values is "only fair." Only 18 percent rank the situation as "good" or "excellent." Weekly church attendees had ...read more

    Three Parables One Message Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 408 views

    This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon. The Bible studies teach foundational truth that are designed to challenge, encourage and, most importantly, flame the fire of hunger in the Christian who wants to learn more about who they have become in Christ Jesus.

    How to move toward forgiving those who have hurt you the most over the years.

    Forgiveness is hard. When somebody does something that cuts our heart or damages our feelings, it’s difficult to forgive. But the difficulty of forgiveness is exponentially harder when the person we are trying to forgive has been in our life for years. A father or a mother, a brother or ...read more

    Message on the Triune nature of God and it’s importance

    THE TRINITY II A Love Story 09/30/12 One of the things that I have taken notice of with our culture is that so often people confuse desire with love.

    Recipe For Spiritual Growth

    Contributed by David Seeley on Feb 28, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 13,979 views

    As Christians we must continue to grow in the Lord after we are saved. We cannot simply "exist" after we are saved and expect to become mature Christians. Growth is just as important after the new birth as the new birth is itself.

    Recipe for Spiritual Growth Text: Colossians 2:6-8, 2 Peter 1:5-11 I. Why do we need to grow? Colossians 2:6-8 explain the need for spiritual growth. A. Walk in Christ—If we are truly walking with Christ, we will grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him. B. Be rooted—as a tree seeks water deep ...read more
