The Tongue: The Power And Purpose Of Our Words

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Nov 13, 2010

James is presenting practical Christianity. He has told us faith without works is dead. In other words a prayer that doesn't change our practices is powerless. Meeting Jesus changes us permanently and continually. This impacts our works and our words.

Intro: We dive in again to the depths of James practical teaching. He has given us tests and teachings on practical faith in a personal Jesus. Remember that James and Jesus want us to not only be born again of the word but have it to take root in our lives and cause us to trust God more fully ...read more

Meditate & Do Principle

Contributed by William Akehurst on Jul 19, 2012

Joshua 1:8 tells us to meditate and do what is in God's Word. What does the word Meditate mean to you? To study? To Ponder? To think about? But when we study this principle from the Hebrew root of the word, we see a whole new meaning, a true blessing

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

God Is Flexible (Exodus 4:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 28, 2021

Exodus 4 paints a picture of what a genuine relationship with God should look like. God values us, and our input, and He's flexible in how He carries out his plans.

Today, we continue reading about when God and Moses meet. And, again, this is not simply a meeting. This is a commissioning. A calling. But what we've seen, is that Moses has no interest in being called. He has questions, concerns, and protests. In a perfect world, I would've been ...read more

The Power Of The Tongue

Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 10, 2021

There have never been words spoken more powerfully than in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth.

The spoken word can be extremely powerful. When humans speak, it can literally mean life or death. If I mention a few words of famous speeches, most senior Americans can readily recall the heart of the message. As time regressive examples: “I have a dream,” by Martin Luther King, 1963. Next, “Ask ...read more

Man's Need PRO Sermon

We are deeply flawed yet deeply loved; God’s law reveals our need, and only Christ’s grace can heal and restore us.
