     | 4,128 views

    We spent last Sunday morning learning what a covenant is and what being in one means. 1 It means to bind, cut, divide (the way Abraham cut/divide the animals on presumably an altar before God) the binding is the people of Israel to God.

    Runaway Bride

    Like the movie “Runaway Bride” many Christians today don’t mind “dating” the church, but they don’t want to “marry” the church. Here are 9 reasons you need to commit to the church for life!

    RUNAWAY BRIDE INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. During a wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the pastor with an unusual offer. “Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I’m supposed to ‘be faithful as long as we both shall live’, I’d appreciate it if ...read more

    Beware Of Warnings

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 16, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,740 views

    God gives His people a watchman to protect their life. Brothers and sisters, in the weeks, months, and years that lie ahead, let us both, you and I, listen to the Word of God. And let us take heed to these warnings. So there will be life - eternal life.

    Opening illustration: Americans are getting warned to death. Manufacturers are growing increasingly wary of being sued when their products are misused, so they are attaching warning labels to hundreds of items. For example, a Batman outfit bears this caveat: “Parents, please exercise ...read more

    From our passage we see that Paul had a vision & a plan for ministry. We can also gain insight into the God's providence outworking in the life & work of Paul.

    ROMANS 15: 22-29 A PLANNED MINISTRY [Acts 27-28] Paul continues here to open his heart to the Romans in reference to the future of his ministry.

    Why I Quit Tithing

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 23, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,287 views

    Because God owns it all, the question should not be, "How much should I give?" But rather the question should be, "How much should I keep?"

    Most people simply don’t understand tithing. To many Christians, it seems like some sort of country club due. Another bill in the long list of monthly expenses. I hear questions like: “How Much Are You Supposed to Tithe?” “Do I tithe on my gross income or net income?” “My pay my tithe on my pay ...read more

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part seven) Matt. 5:19-20 Last week we looked at what Jesus meant when he said he did not come to abolish the law but fulfill it.

    A positive view of the Sabbath, as God's gift to us. It is a) a time to relax, b) a time to worship, and c) a taste of heaven. A balanced view, with a unique perspective on c).

     | 8,108 views

    Shedding victim mentality can bring inner peace. God wants us to live in peace.

    Believe it or not, “Victim Mentality” can be an inherited, instilled or self-learned personality trait. People frequently perceive themselves as victims from the negative actions of others in the past, present, or even their fear of the future. This “scapegoat” or “I'm the injured party” ...read more

    A Clean Heart In A Dirty World

    I love the 51st Psalm. It’s a very personal prayer of Confession - Self-Examination - A Cry For Forgiveness. I can really identify with the author of this Psalm. Not with what he did, but with his own sense and need for forgiveness.

    TITLE: A CLEAN HEART IN A DIRTY WORLD SCRIPTURE: PSALM 51:1-12 Out of all the 150 Psalms, I believe this is one of the most heart wrenching of them all. It is a heart filled and genuine account of David’s guilty heart. There is no real need to enlarge the circumstances, the heading tells the ...read more
