    We all know that division causes problems - but where does it really come from? Paul gives us insights and warnings that any one of us could be the cause of division in our church. Find out the qualities of a good and bad leader.

    For an audio copy of this message, go to: www.LivingWatersWeb.com 10 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

    (For Senior Adult Sunday) Children ask for things for themselves, think in limited terms, and believe they can escape responsbility. Mature people think in terms of love.

    “If I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” And if I ...read more

     | 9,377 views

    1. Teaching imparts truth. 2. Truth brings about maturity. 3. Maturity brings about usefulness.

    We are emphasizing spiritual gifts in our church because we believe that every Christian’s life should be used by God for kingdom purposes. God’s plan is that his people, first of all, take on his character and likeness, and then be a part of the divine conspiracy — the transformation of the ...read more

    Christ went through a period of agony on the cross as He was separated from His Father. This sermon looks at the reason he was separated from His Father.

    Today we come to the fourth week of our series on the Seven Statements from the Cross. Last week we saw Jesus entrust his mother to John, John would become her son, and her, his mother. We saw through their total obedience what kinds of sacrifice obedience can require of a family, spiritual and ...read more

    ...where a person cannot connect to heaven; there is no vision, no dream, no prophesy; he sees nothing, he hears nothing from God. Every thing in the spirit realm is dark, deaf and dumb there is a need for deliverance.

    Daniel 2:22 “He revealeth the deep and secret things: He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him”. There are some things that are deep and others are on the surface. When you want to get something that is deep, you have to dig deep to find out. Gold, oil, are treasures ...read more

    One reason so many Christ-followers leave such a lousy legacy is because we wear masks. We need to learn to live with no masks. God wants me to be the real deal. My family and friends need me to be authentic. This is needed especially in the home.

    When I help a family with a funeral, I sit with family members and ask questions like, “How did your dad or mom impact your life?” Afterwards, I sometimes wonder, “What will my boys say about me someday? Will they say that they love Jesus more because of me? Or will they love Jesus less because ...read more

    Israel demands a king, but this only demonstrates the rejection of their real king - the LORD.

    Kingship in Judges and 1 Samuel 1 Samuel 8 It’s amazing how quickly a classroom can turn when a teacher walks out for a moment. Paper, hats, pens, shoes, glass bottles get thrown at fans.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,841 views

    God desires to perfect us in Christ Jesus. As we move upward in that perfection, we become closer to God as we become more Christ-like. As we become closer to God, we move into a different relationship with God.

    God or Friend? (Exodus 20:1~2a) And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage… (James 2:23) And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for ...read more

    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,439 views

    We rely on ourselves for everything - to the exclusion of God. It shocks us when we come to the reality that God not only is still "able" to help us .... but that He still "wants" to help us!

    Now, first let me tell you that I used to be a very faithful viewer to the original Mickey Mouse Club. I used to watch it every day. I knew all of them by name and I really enjoyed that program. Of course, I was only about 8 years old at the time, too. Have you ever heard the expression, ...read more

    To our young people as they head back to School. Taking God with you to school is risky but rewarding.

    Risky Business Selected Scriptures Hudson Taylor, missionary to China, once said, "Unless there is an element of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith." There are two words that catch me up when I read that quote. I like thinking about my walk with God as an exploit. Exploit ...read more

    In Matthew 16, Jesus confers on Peter (and, later the other Apostles) authority to rule the Church, founded on the truth of Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Messiah.

There’s a phrase that’s popular in modern discussions of any number of topics, and that phrase is this: “an 800 pound gorilla in the room.” An example would be this line which I plucked from a blog entry on the international economy as it ...read more
