    Part 5 of 5 "The Lord of the Rings" Every long term relationship has problems eventually. Here are some ground rules for fighting "Biblically".

    Conquest for the Rings The Lord of the Rings (part 5 of 5) 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 15 ¶ Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear ...read more

     | 8,423 views

    Live your live according to the principles Jesus set forth in His life. Not because you are following rules, but because you want to please Him.

    05 03 2010 ASHINGDON TIME TO CHANGE No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, you did not just suddenly appear there. No, you started as we all start; becoming aware of a need inside your heart that you probably could not explain. Then, you became aware of Jesus Christ, the One known ...read more

    Mere Mortal

    Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on May 18, 2016
     | 3,817 views

    Man is always quick to forget that he does not have the supreme authority over himself. There is a God outside of man who rules over the affair of man.

    Regardless of genealogy or demography, every human shares something in common and it is the fact that we all came from dust and to dust shall we all return. Everyone came empty and shall someday return empty. Class notwithstanding, all men are same and nothing (Psalm 62:9). Psalm 103:15-16 also ...read more

    Stubbornness Is As Iniquity And Idolatry

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,698 views

    While no serious Christian would overtly condone idolatry, we do something just as bad by allowing stubbornness to rule our hearts or the hearts of others.

    Intro: Would you condone idolatry? Have you ever known anyone to casually admit to idolatry? What if you were talking to a friend who is a Christian one day about character flaws and he said something like, “Well, I know I’ve got a problem with idolatry” or “I’ve ...read more

    Bondage Or Liberty? You Choose: But Christians Are Free People!

    Contributed by Kelly Durant on Jun 29, 2015
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,832 views

    The rules or laws of a nation or a church is not our main message, our main message, rather it is Jesus Christ’s liberating and soul saving love!

    Bondage or Liberty? You Choose: But Christians Are Free People! Re: 4th of July Kelly Durant 7- 2015 John 8:36 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

    The Danger Of Displacement Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 4, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,251 views

    Because we want others to approve of us, we feel a pressure to displace some of God’s commands with peer group rules or trends.

    The Danger of Displacement (Mark 7:1-13) 1. One of my favorite Jewish jokes (I have told before) is the following: 2. A Jewish congregation was arguing over whether one should stand or sit during the Shema Yisrael. Half of the congregation said one should sit, the other half insisted one should ...read more

    Jesus wants to rule in our lives from heaven; if we follow our heavenly ruler, we will nurture well-lived lives on earth as a result.

    Jesus At the Right Hand: The Theological Basis for Living A Life That Honors God and Serves Others (Colossians 3:1-4) 1.

    Say Yes To The Goat Skins Series

    Contributed by Troy Luttrell on Oct 6, 2014
     | 6,520 views

    This sermon will focus on the difficulty of saying no to the flesh. Even though we have rules and law, they are no match to stop us from choosing our fleshly desires.

    Background • Review Genesis 25; twins yet born completely opposite (lost/saved) • Parents show favoritism, and this will lead to a divided family. When we come to chapter 27, Isaac is around 137 and both boys are in their middle 70’s. • This sermon will focus ...read more

    Can The Church Be An Obstacle To Discipleship For Jesus?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021
     | 798 views

    Is it possible that some of the doctrine, rules, and regulations of the church be a stumbling block to becoming a disciple for Jesus? Yes, it was definitely one for me and I still struggle with it.

    {You may want to read Mark 4:1-9, This is the actual parable that I am speaking about. } [Why parables?] 10 As soon as He was alone, 1 His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. 11 And He was saying to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom ...read more

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 747 views

    God values mercy and compassion over religious rituals and rules. As followers of Jesus, we are called to extend mercy to everyone we encounter, regardless of their circumstances.

    Hey guys! Ever wondered what gets God really pumped? What makes Him say, 'Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!'? Well, today we're going to dive into that. Spoiler alert: It's mercy. So, what's mercy? Think about when you're playing a video game, and you're totally crushing your friend. You could ...read more

    Marriage And Pork

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 31, 2024
     | 708 views

    If your group forbids marriage or has food restrictions for holiness or Christian service then you need to leave. The leaders who made these rules are false prophets.

    1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to ...read more

    The seventh sign in John 11:1-57 teaches us that Jesus is the Son of God who rules over death and gives life to the spiritually dead.

    Introduction The Apostle John wrote The Gospel According to John. Jesus had done thousands of miracles. John selected just seven of these miracles, which he called “signs,” to help his readers “believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing [they] may have life in his ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 31 views

    Jesus offers true rest and mercy, reminding us that God’s compassion outweighs rigid rules and that Sabbath is a gift meant to restore weary souls.

    Good morning, dear friends. Some weeks feel like a blur of alarms, appointments, and a to-do list that never seems to take a breath. Yet here you are—hungry for more than hurry, ready for more than noise. Your soul is smart; it knows when it’s thirsty. It senses a Sabbath-shaped space that work ...read more
