Acceptable Anger Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

Is it possible that we eliminate the vice of anger, but in so doing also eliminate the virtue of it? It is obviously not Christ like to be losing your temper and blasting people, and seeking revenge. But on the other hand, it is also not Christ like to never be angry at the forces of evil.

I had an awful temper as a child. When I was in first or second grade I broke a pool cue over the head of one of my brother's friends, and for years after I was reminded that I caused the scar on his forehead. My older brother came close to getting even worse. In one of our fights he picked ...read more

It Is Not How You Start But How You Finish Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Nov 7, 2016

In this study, we will learn three important things in the life of King Saul that revealed his initial flaws that ultimately brought him down. God wants us to be faithful unto the very end.

Today, we will continue our study on the life of King Saul. So far, we have learned from chapter 12 that Samuel gave his farewell speech to Israel. He had lived with exemplary good moral integrity all his life and left words that encouraged Israel. He said in 1 Samuel 12:14-15 "If you fear the Lord ...read more

Good Friday 2014

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 24, 2014

This is a hybrid between a sermon, a remembrance of the night before Jesus died and a mini drama. It mostly consists of walking through the events of that day in order to never forget why Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of Me."

(This is not a word-for-word manuscript except for the "readings". The pastor or leader is expected to elaborate on different points as the Lord moves him or her to do so. God bless you.)

The Plague Of Complaining

Serving

Contributed by Rick Stacy on May 27, 2009

You may never get the kind of recognition or applause that you might like or that you see others getting for doing the same kind of work. But Jesus tells us in the Sermon on the Mount that the Father sees what is done in secret.

What Are You Calling Me A Dog?

Contributed by Joe De Leon on Dec 30, 2013

Many people today are in a place in their lives or doing something that they thought they would never do. This goes to show the aggressive nature behind sin. Shirley the words of Jesus are true when he said thief, comes but to kill steal and destroy.

What? Am I A Dog? 2 Kings 8:1-13 Shortly after this Hazael found himself alone with King Benadad. He took a towel, dipped it into water, and proceeded to smother the king. Hazael became the king and God’s Word was fulfilled. But I would like for us to consider the response of Hazael ...read more

Emotions And Sensory Spirituality

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 24, 2017

God never intended emotions or feelings to guide or reveal what is right or wrong. They are constantly changing, and they need to be controlled because they can take control of a person and lead them into serious error and deception.

Human emotions are deeply intertwined with the five basic senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing, which human beings use to investigate and perceive the world around them. They are essential for processing, learning, perception, reasoning, problem-solving and adapting to the events of ...read more

The Fire Lord Not The Junk Heap

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 3, 2004
