    The Bible describes life like a race, not a hundred yard dash, mind you, but a marathon. And while everyone runs in this race, not everyone will finish well. This sermon looks at how we can finish this race well, even when we feel like giving up.

    Render To God The Things That Are God's

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 11, 2013
     | 12,193 views

    Jesus says, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's" (Matt 22:21). Most sermons on this verse deal with the first part of this verse, but what does the second part mean? What does it mean to render to God?

    MAIN TEXT: Matt 22:15-22 (parallels in Mark 12:13–17 and Luke 20:20–26) The Jews were desperately seeking to discredit Jesus, because within the context, He was speaking parables against them. They would stop at nothing to do so. Within the context of this verse, various groups ask Him ...read more

    God restores me because: 1. God’s love is UNCONDITIONAL 2. Salvation isn’t based on my PERFORMANCE 3. Jesus has already taken my PUNISHMENT 4. Jesus understands my human WEAKNESS 5. God doesn’t hold on to GRUDGES

    God’s Restoring Grace Folks, here is a fact that I have learned in life – relationships change. It does not matter whether it is the relationship with your spouse – your children or your friends. Relationships change. This is also true of your relationship to God. Your relationship to Jesus is ...read more

    All we have to do is believe and rest on His word and He said He would take care of everything for us. Sounds easy, it is, just that easy, if you will let it be!!!

    Take God’s Word For It Matthew 4:4 NKJ 4…He [Jesus] answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” Matt 4:4 MSG 4Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: "It takes more than bread to stay alive.

    Christians are to know God’s Clock and live accordingly!

    If you didn’t turn your clocks back last night and you were here one hour early what would you have done?? Being at the wrong place at the wrong time is awkward isn’t it? Sadly, many Christians today are living their lives at the wrong place or at the wrong time or both. We have been learning ...read more

    God’s plan for our lives is not always going to be exactly what we think. But God’s Plan will always be Perfect for us! God’s plan for our lives is not always an easy one. But it is a plan that will become a blessing to many if we will obey that call.

    God’s Perfect Plan? Scripture: John 1:6-8, 19-28 Scripture Reading: Matthew 1:18-25 There’s something special about Christmas pageants, even those in which everything seems to go wrong. I think you’ll like this story: A church tried to outdo the previous years Christmas pageants, so they ...read more

    Abraham overcomes fear with the shield of God’s promises - so can we.

    The more I study scripture, the more I discover that there are no great men and women of God in the Bible. There is only one hero and that is the Lord himself. Even the greatest man or woman fails in Scripture and any success they do have is not of themselves but is completely the work of God’s ...read more
