     | 5,664 views

    The ist in a series of sermons on guidelines to living a more abundant life that God wants us to live. Put God to the test by tithing and observing the benefits of the practice.

    Today I am talking about a subject that people don’t like to hear about—I’ll say that up front. Preachers don’t like to talk about tithing and money because we don’t like people’s eyes glazing over or people getting fidgety or you start flip through the hymn book or something. Church members ...read more

    Many times we look at the story of Zach as being just for kids. However, I believe there are some interesting observations can be made from the text.

     | 2,950 views

    In this sermon, we examine the four ways people observe Christmas. The four ways are "Sparkle" Christmas, "Giving" Christmas, "Pageant" Christmas, and "Christ as Lord" Christmas.

    Introduction: A. Christmas time in our day and age can be a very confusing time to children and adults alike. 1. As you can see the manger scene in this picture includes some characters that don’t belong. 2. You can see some kind of snow queen in the back. 3. There are Mickey and Mini Mouse ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,030 views

    People who have a heart for the true God observe the outward trappings of Biblical faith, but they put the focus loving and knowing God by internalizing His Word.

    God or the Trappings of Religion? (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 15; Matthew 22:34-40, 23:1-12) 1. There is more than one way to look at things. 2.

    8th in a series from Ecclesiastes. We need to base what we think about God on His Word, not on what we observe in this world.

Two years later, the Illinois Appellate Court overturned the conviction - even as justices acknowledged Ealy almost certainly was guilty. They said police had arrested ...read more

     | 7,022 views

    Prayer is necessary both in secret and in the public places or congregational gathering. When you pray in the secret, you are applying and observing scriptural principle in your life.

    Introduction To Psalms Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 22, 2020
     | 5,310 views

    This is the introduction to a series of studies on selected Psalms, developed from a series of classes. This sermon does not examine a particular psalm, but makes observations about psalms in general.

    In my personal studies I have found psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had ever realized. Too often I have swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as I should into the depths of meaning and feeling that are expressed by the psalmists. Upon ...read more

    The Lie Of Lust. Be Filled.

    CS Lewis observed: if I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

    The Lie Of Lust. Be Filled. Colossians 3:23TPT Lust is a lie, because it comes from the father of lies, satan—The lie is that more sex, more food, more power, more applause, or more money will satisfy our wants and needs. It won’t. Did you know the scientist have coined a term for this? They call ...read more

    One of the most overlooked texts in all of Scripture... but also one of the most reassuring. What can we gain from David’s observation that he was "weak?"

    OPEN: Rodgers and Hammerstein were amongst the greatest playwrights of our age. Plays like “Oklahoma” “The Sound of Music” “The King & I” are permanent part of the American heritage.
