    The road to transformation involves the choice of what we put into our minds and what we choose to think about.

    Whatever is… Phil 4:8-9, Feb 27, 2011 Intro: For most of us, the word “meditation” conjures up a mental picture of someone in baggy pants, sitting on the floor with their legs wrapped up like a pretzel, arms comfortably outstretched, middle finger and thumb together, saying ...read more

    Using texts from 1 Corintians 3:1-6, and 2 Corinthians 9:8-11, this message contrasts graceless behavior with that of a "Grace-giver."

    How to be a Grace-Giver 1 Cor.3:1-6, 2 Cor. 9:8-11 Intro: “Grace moments”, if we think hard enough we can remember some of them. These are the times when we either received grace from some gracious person, known or unknown, or times when we extended grace to others. I remember a ...read more

    Cultivate purity in our thoughts. You need conviction and commitment, confession and cleansing, you need to forsake and flee, and to renew our mind and revive your spirit.

    We need to protect our mind, because we are what we think. • It will be garbage in, garbage out. The more trash we put in, the more trash we would see in words and deeds. You reap what you plant. • We need to set up this “greenhouse” of the mind - to make sure that no virus or pests enter. 2 ...read more

    Christians are to put off the old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires and put on the new self created to be like God!

    Paul urges us to live a joyful life in Christ. We are to (1) choose to rejoice in Christ, (2) let go of our worries through prayer, and (3) think and meditate on God’s truths.

    Philippians 4:4-4:9 How can we live a happier life? Paul gives us three principles: 1. CHOOSE to Rejoice Always Paul says we can choose to rejoice - it is a choice. • We are not victim of the circumstance • If we believe God, then He is our Guide, not fate, not some kind of force.

    We are in warfare – a battle – we are in it whether we are aware of it or not. If you are not aware of it, you will be like a blindfolded man in a boxing ring. Taking the blows but no defense. This conflict is worldwide.

    In this first-of-two talks we look at some of the initial things that helped Elijah recover from depression. They are things we can also do. They paved the way for God to address the root cause of the problem: Elijah's sense of failure.

    INTRODUCTION We’re now onto the second talk in our series called ‘Bible Stories for Grown-Ups.’ In these talks we’re going back to some of the famous stories in the Old Testament which we may have heard as children, perhaps at home or at Sunday School. The idea is to take a fresh look at them as ...read more
