    based on 50 ratings
     | 11,430 views

    Scriptural principles to make life better. 1- Stay cool, don’t blow your cool 2- Try faith, don’t let faithlessness rule 3- Be possessed, don’t give in to obsession

    INTRO.- ILL.- I like the story about the preacher who had a microphone in his hand as he preached, and as he moved around the platform he would jerk the cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles ...read more

    Consumed With God: The Pursuit Of God Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 23, 2024
     | 392 views

    We are consumed by God completely… while our obsession used to be selfishness and self destruction and we were very excited about that, we now pursue knowing God with abandon.

    My wife tells me that I sometimes become nearly obsessed with certain things. I get so focused on something it consumes me. I fall into the pool after staring into it too long. Are you like that? I have a bit of an obsessive, addictive personality. I want it and I want more. I want to learn more. ...read more

    Relationship Recovery Series

     | 3,519 views

    Whenever we talk about recovery, we are never talking about one person - but a system of persons. Our addictions, obsessions and persistent sins have taken a toll on everyone around us.

    RELATIONSHIP RECOVERY Genesis 2:4-25 Introduction September is Recovery Month and we have a few goals in this emphasis. -We seek to find hope in the Gospel for dealing with all of our obsessions, addictions, and the sinful weights that are holding us down from following God wholeheartedly. - ...read more

    Getting Real With Your Enemies Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 5, 2003
    based on 28 ratings
     | 3,458 views

    Hostility comes from the obsessed, self-absorbed heart, and often offers permission for random acts of violence. Jesus got real with His enemies by naming their madness but trusting His own defense to God.

    Stress strengthens. That is a physical fact. It is also a spiritual truth. Stress strengthens us. When we face opposition, we grow. When we deal with differences, we become stronger than we were. Strange as it may seem, and unpleasant though it may feel, give thanks when you ...read more

    Broken People Produce Broken Marriages Series

    Contributed by David Mcclain on Jul 22, 2018
     | 6,654 views

    We cannot fix relationships until we first realize we are broken, sinful people that God loves and wants to restore. The self-obsession of broken, sinful people creates a seeks to hide our flaws and blame others for them when exposed.

    OPENING SENTENCE: I had an uncle who started to have a pain in his neck that caused him to lean his head to the left side and constantly wince in pain. INTRODUCTION: Doctors could not diagnosis the problem so he lived with the pain for years. In time his neck began to permanently lean to the ...read more

    Check Your Motive

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 11, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,173 views

    Jesus contrasts the Teachers of the Law with the poor widow. In the former, we see people more interested in themselves than in God; hypocrites, pretending to be something they were not. In the latter, we see a lady who loved God authentically and completely.

    Check Your Motive Mark 12:38-44 In March 2009 Bernie Madoff pled guilty to running the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Bernie’s last name is appropriate, because he literally “made off” with billions of dollars belonging to his investors. A Ponzi scheme is pretty simple in concept: you convince ...read more

     | 4,476 views

    Recognizing the every moment of my worship is directed towards God changes every moment of my worship. When we read from the Pslams it is quite obvious that the object of their ’obsession’ was not themselves!

    God is the Audience of My Worship Gordon Dahl said, “Most middle-class Americans tend to worship their work, work at their play, and play at their worship.” William Temple, the renowned archbishop of Canterbury, defined worship as quickening the conscience by the holiness of God, feeding the mind ...read more

    A critical spirit is An obsessive attitude of criticism and fault-finding, which seeks to tear others down The person with a critical spirit usually dwells on the negative, seeks for flaws rather than good

    The Critical Spirit Luke 6:37-6:42 Illustration: Guilty as sin! It happened just a few years ago. The banks in New Jersey had been robbed systematically, one after the other. What made the robber stand out was his politeness. He just gave the tellers a note which said, "Please place your money ...read more

    Jesus tells the parable of the wheat and the weeds to reveal characteristics of the Kingdom of God. God's kingdom isn't obsessed with judgment and eradicating evil, and neither should we.

    July 19, 2020 Hope Lutheran Church Pastor Mary Erickson Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 Hold Up on that Roundup! Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. My father loved tending a garden and he passed that love along to me.

    Numbered, Weighed, And Given Away Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 27, 2002
    based on 68 ratings
     | 9,834 views

    Sermon for Deacon Ordination service; we obsess on things that do not matter and ignore things that do make a difference. Our sin is using holy things for our own pleasure, compounded with a failure to read the signs of the times.

    We give too much of ourselves to things that do not last. We give too little of ourselves to things that will endure. It is easy to obsess on things that don’t matter. It is tempting to ignore things that really count. If something does not change that pattern, at the end of the day, we are ...read more

     | 6,456 views

    We live in a society obsessed with being number one, while following Jesus who calls us to humble, faithful service. To meet the challenge of Jesus’ call, we must start at the foot of the cross.

    Luke 14:1, 7-14 “The Blessings of Last Place” INTRODUCTION This week a 41 year-old father was indicted on drug charges. He was pumping steroids into his 13 year-old son, who was competing for a place on the Olympic staking team. The father wanted his son to be number 1. Controversy has ...read more

    Hoarders

    based on 44 ratings
     | 18,687 views

    Hoarders are people that are in a constant battle by an obsessive need to acquire (and failure to use or discard) a significant amount of possessions, even if the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. This is much like when people come to Jesus.

    Who has seen the A& E series, “Hoarders”? I love the show! Hoarders is a fascinating look inside the lives of different people whose inability to part with their belongings is so out of control that they are on the verge of a personal crisis. VIDEO: “Hoarders” I find myself hooked to the ...read more

    Many have become so obsessed with facts that we have missed the impact of the resurrection on their lives. The Resurrection is not that complicated it is a straight forward truth. Christ died and was risen from the dead. Updated April 2022.

    At Home With God-Heaven-Revelation 21 Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,949 views

    Heaven need not be an obsession, yet our relationship with God should be. It is this relationship which drives everything good in our lives. It is motivation for love for each other, gives us strength for today, and fills with hope for an eternity with Gd

    • The Bible is NOT obsessed with heaven. When Jesus speaks of the Kingdom of Heaven or the Kingdom of God, in general, He is not talking about a future housing for God and His people-He is talking about a way of living here and now. The greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven must be the servant of ...read more
