     | 6,015 views

    Every Day. Routine. Take it or leave it. A dime a dozen. Do we treat the rare like the regular? Do we mistake the extraordinary for the ordinary? Do we overlook the incredible for the common?

    Common Pt. 2 - Preppers Introduction We are confronting and trying to unseat the apathy towards God that we are sick with that causes us to treat God as if He is "a dime a dozen", ordinary, optional, routine, or common! Our revelation of who He is determines our reverence for Him. If our reverence ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 9, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,402 views

    This study is about how God wants us to see ourselves and learn how to cultivate and build up biblical self-esteem in a dynamic sense by understanding what it means to be created in God's image and being "in Christ," and He in us.

    To be different from the world, every Born-Again Christian must have a healthy awareness of who they are in Christ and the new self-identity He gives. Questions: (Yes or No responses) Is human pride sinful? Is it wrong to feel pride for the accomplishments and success of a loved one? Do we ...read more

    James knew humanity only too well. Immediately after James invites us to charge boldly into our new lives, he points us to the tool for sustained endurance: Wisdom. Without God’s wisdom, we can quickly sprint into a concrete wall and spend months or years banging our heads against it.

    Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time - 6th Sunday, Year A-- The Fence

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2020
     | 4,582 views

    Jesus builds a shield around the law or Commandments in order to create more space and distance so that we won’t even bump up against the fence or sit on the fence, but rather keep a healthy distance.

    There was a large group of people. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side of the group stood Satan. Separating them, running through the group, was a fence. The scene was set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the group and, one by one - each having made up ...read more

    Even The Dogs Qualify

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 3, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,008 views

    I would like for you to think with on the subject, “Even the dogs qualify.” Think of a dog as the lease likely person, in the worst position, at the most inappropriate time, who discovers the power of faith. Faith in God is a qualifier that cannot be ignored.

    Subject: Even the Dogs Qualify Matthew 15:21-29 Introduction: The Scriptures refer to four seasons during Jesus’ earthly ministry where He sought solitude and rest. No matter how gifted or anointed we are, we all need rest. We all need places to be refreshed. The unusual story of our lesson occurs ...read more

     | 3,611 views

    This sermon is how faith "the size of a mustard seed" actually gives us the ability to offer forgiveness to others.

    "Faith and Forgiveness" Allow me to begin today with some self-disclosure: I do not understand exactly what faith is, or how it works. But I have a couple of ideas from the lesson that might be helpful. More on that in a moment, but first I’ve got to share some humor. Have you ever ...read more
