    Christians have the Holy Spirit, which should cause them to have the mind of Christ, which should lead to humility and unity, rather than pride and division.

    Sexual sin will not only hurt one’s own body but others as well. No sin has greater effect on the mind, soul and spirit than sexual sin.

    ABSTINENCE NOT CONCUPISCENCE (1Thessalonians 4:3-8) A well-known theologian and pastor was requested by a distraught Christian mother into an undesirable counselling session with her young son who had moved out of the family home and into his own apartment owing to the mother’s constant religious ...read more

    Little lizards crawl around church building in Asia and no one seems to mind because everyone knows that they are harmless and they catch bugs that are harmful. Not a bad work ethic.

    We are looking at the book of Proverbs. Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own. Remember last week we met two women who live in the pages of the book of Proverbs: Lady Wisdom and Madame Folly. The final question is: who are you going to ...read more

    Our Obligations In Christ

     | 5,722 views

    I approached this text with fathers in mind, for a Father's Day message. Our society needs men who understand their spiritual obligations and are willing to invest in the lives of others.

    Our Obligations in Christ Philippians 2: 12-16 Today we celebrate Father’s Day and seek to honor those men who have made an impact in our lives, particularly our dads. I can honestly say that being a father is one of the greatest joys in life. I am thankful for the children God has blessed ...read more

    The kingdom of God does not take shape in the physical world. It exists in the hearts and minds of believers who inhabit earthly countries and kingdoms. Unlike earthly kingdoms it is eternal.

    November 25, 2012 Last Sunday of the Church Year -- Christ the King -- Series B Grace mercy and peace from God the father and Christ Jesus our Lord. Text Daniel 7:13-14 ESV I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the ...read more

    Patience!

     | 8,238 views

    The worldly way of getting the steam out of you and giving a ‘piece of your mind’ to the person who has hurt you will not reap the right results.

    Patience…….Day 20 James 1:3,4 “…knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”(Memorize) Even after many years in the ministry, I still learn lessons the hard ...read more

    Are There Many Paths To God Or Is Jesus The Only Way? Series

     | 7,572 views

    In this sermon we learn why is it not arrogant or narrow-minded to say that Jesus is the only way to God. I borrowed a lot from Lee Strobel's sermon on this subject.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of two rival rabbis who came face to face in a narrow alley way. 1. The alley was so narrow that it was impossible for the two to pass by each other. 2. The one rabbi, pulling himself up to his full height, said, “I never make way for arrogant, ...read more

    Thankful For The Cross

     | 7,872 views

    As we consider Thanksgiving, we should be mindful of the many blessings we have in Christ. While these are too numerous to name, every believer should be thankful for the cross!

    Thankful for the Cross Galatians 6:14 This particular epistle of Paul was written to the churches in the region of Galatia. As you read and study this letter, a common theme becomes evident. Many in the region of Galatia had been influenced by the Judaizers, those who insisted the Law must be ...read more

    Every day is the day to set aside our hearts, minds, lives and bodies for the LORD’s service; in every age that commitment runs against the current of the mainstream.

    CHAPTER 18 v. 1 after these things, I saw another angel descending out of heaven, having big authority, and the earth was brightened by his glory. v. 2 and crying with a loud voice saying, “fallen, fallen is Babylon the Big, and has become the dwelling place of demons and housing for all unclean ...read more

    Speaking & Boasting Youth Sermon

    based on 4 ratings
     | 752 views

    Our words have the power to bring life or death. We must be mindful of how we use them, ensuring they reflect our faith and the love of Christ.

    James kicks off by saying that teachers and preachers are gonna be judged more strictly because their words carry a lot of weight. Our words can make a huge difference, and if we can get a handle on what we say, we can control our whole selves. Imagine this: You're playing a video game, and you're ...read more

    Fall In Love With Your God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 27, 2023
     | 1,295 views

    Truly BEING in love involves much more than an emotional high. It does need an emotional component, but, if it’s authentic, it demands engagement of the mind

    Seventeenth Sunday in Course 2023 I suppose those of us over the age of twenty had at least one experience of falling in love, and I mean with another human being. When I remember that time–over a period of about a month with my wife–certain emotions come to the surface. But truly BEING in love ...read more

    A Call To Courage

     | 3,677 views

    If courageous believers are going to be successful in their Christian endeavors, they must be alert to the actions of their enemies, be mindful of their relationship with Christ, be courageous in their attitude and be strong in their fortitude. This mindset is a matter of choice.

    Sermon: A Call to Courage Scripture - 1Corinthians 16:13-18 “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love. You know that Stephanas and his household were the first of the harvest of believers in Greece, and they are spending their lives in service to ...read more

    As close as the message is of God's love, His truth is is absolute, and authoritive. Truth renews our minds, revives our hearts, and redirects our steps.

    What is truth? That is question of all questions in the history of man. It is defined as the which conforms with fact and reality. It is genuineness, veracity, or actuality, reality. It is how things are. It consists of the mind, will, character and the glory of God. Truth is God Himself. All truth ...read more
