    Contributed by David Mende on Jul 8, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 20,647 views

    The Jews were concerned more about building their own houses rather than building God's house. Consequently, God gives this message to His prophet to rebuke His people. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Introduction (Secure Attention): Have you ever thought along these lines, “I am going to serve the Lord after I grow old.” “I want to work for God but I’m too busy.” “I want to serve God but I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to do anything at all for the Lord.” If you had any thoughts like that, ...read more

    We need to practive slowing (solitude) to spend quiet time with God in order to draw closer to him and allow him to transform us.

    Hurry has actually become a sickness, a disease for us in the U.S…which is ironic with all these “time savers” we have. “Time magazine noted that back in the 1960s, expert testimony was given to a subcommittee of the Senate on time management. The essence of it was that because of the advance in ...read more

    Becoming Debt Free Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 16, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,181 views

    One of the disciplines critical for us to practice in order to live debt free is to look beyond the immediate. You have to stay focused on God’s promised future. Debt is always about the immediate; it’s always seeking relief or immediate gratification

    Debt Free II Kings 4:2-7 Have you ever made a purchase and then felt bad or depressed afterwards? Have you ever bought anything that you ended up never using? I just found one of the greatest pullover sweaters in my closet and said, "Where did this come from?" It still had the tags on it! I ...read more

    In life there are so many different forces pulling on us. We are pulled one way by fear, and another by self-righteousness. But thank God that the Cross is always at the center, and nothing is more powerful than the pull of God’s mercy and grace.
