    “what Is That To You? Follow Me”

    Contributed by Silas Eke on Feb 26, 2015

     | 12,170 views

    We should accept it as axiomatic that God’s dealings with our fellow-disciples are no concern of ours. Our business is to watch our motives carefully, to keep our eyes on the Lord whom we follow, and not to look over our shoulders at others.

    Tested saints in all ages have been prone to complain like Israel: “the way of the Lord is not equal” (Ezekiel 18:29). Some of God’s dealings seem to contradict our innate sense of fairness; and instead of faithfully discharging our responsibilities, we are tempted to look over ...read more

    What is real love? Is this the hill on which I want to die? When things matter that should not? Then when things that should matter do not matter? What are we thinking?

    From the story of Samuel anointing David as future king, we learn to obey God (which impacts others), to never stop learning, and to cultivate character. (Used as Father's Day sermon.)

    1 Samuel 15:34 - 1 Samuel 16:13 Lessons from the Father of a Nation This Father’s Day I thought it would be interesting to learn from the Father of a nation. We usually look at today’s story from the perspective of David, but why not see it through Samuel’s eyes? Samuel, in essence, is the father ...read more

    There is a Designer who defeats your darkness and He has a design for your life.

    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:1-3 (KJV) Darkness can make us ...read more

    Take the first step in rising above the rubble of failure, disappoint, discouragement, and defeat.

    (To open this sermon I showed a picture of the rubble from 9-11. I stated “The rubble from 9-11 or any catastrophe is not a pretty sight. Maneuvering through rubble is not easy. However, the good news is that we can rise above the rubble. All of us have or will have rubble in our lives. There is ...read more

    How Can I Be Spirit-Filled If I've Never Spoken In Tongues? Series

    Contributed by Doug Johnston on Jun 14, 2001
    based on 55 ratings
     | 2,867 views

    Instead of the demonstration of a miraculous special gift, Paul indicates our Spirit-filling can be tested by much simpler means.

    1 Corinthians 12:29-30 Q: Does every believer have the role or gifts going with an apostle? Prophet? Teacher? Miracle worker? Heal? Tongues? Interpret tongue-speaking language? A: The answer to all those questions is: “...no…” (Greek term for question with an assumed answer of "no" is used ...read more

    Introduction: Have you ever received a gift that you wanted for a long that had great sentimental value to it? What did you do with this gift once you had it? You probably utilized it for whatever uses it was for, until it was unusable of course. God gives every believer the gift of the Holy Spirit ...read more

    There are eternal truths within Psalm 33 that should cause us to examine where we are as a nation. Are we giving our children the kind of land our forefathers fought to give us?

    "Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His ...read more

    I ask the question, how well do we know our commander in chief, Jesus? Do we allow him to help in the many battles we face throughout our lives. How prepared are we to follow his example of servant-hood.

    Servanthood: John 13 v1-16 At the American Revolution a man in civilian clothes rode past a group of soldiers repairing a small defensive barrier, their leader was shouting instructions, but making no attempt to help them. Asked why by the rider, he retorted with great dignity, "Sir, I am a ...read more

    A comparison of God's plan for our gift of life and God's plan for our exiting life. Our thoughts processes in the sincerity of our heart queried before God for public review.
