    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Apr 10, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 9,312 views

    The Holy Spirit gives us a discerning mind to help us distinguish between truth and partial truths. Hebrews 5:14 says, "Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."

    How the Holy Spirit Protects Us From People Who Would Use the Scriptures for Their Selfish Ambitions (Mark 7:11,12) Illustration:Get the right perspective. When Goliath came against the Israelites, the soldiers all thought, "He’s so big we can never kill him." David looked at the same giant and ...read more

     | 3,046 views

    The Church continues the mission of Jesus Christ as one Body and is able to do so because of the prayer of that same Christ.

    Tuesday of the 7th Week in Easter 2019 Sometimes it helps us to understand that the Roman world in the first century did not speak Latin all over, or write in Latin all over the place. Most of the writing was done in Greek. And the Bible that they used was the Old Testament, because the New ...read more

     | 30,524 views

    God has invested talent in each and everyone one of us. God looks our abilities and sees not just who we are, but who we can become and what we can accomplish for His glory.

    DEVELOPING OUR TALENTS Text: Matthew 25:14 - 30 I once heard the story about a young man who called over the phone to check up on the effectiveness of his work at his work. He called the lady he worked for posing as a young man who was looking for yard work. He asked her if it were ...read more

     | 4,579 views

    A sermon telling us of the hope we have in the Lord Jesus; to not despair or give up, but to persevere and keep our focus on the hope of Him. (Another sermon I did from one I found on Sermon Central.)

    There have been many prestigious people throughout the years who have been atheists, but have come to the Lord and ended up saying and doing great things that helped others see Jesus more clearly. Malcolm Muggeridge was a British journalist who was an atheist. He was so good, that he was ...read more

    Where Is Our Trust?

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,273 views

    In our country, we are encouraged by some to put our trust in politicians who we expect to bring about great change and increased godliness. But this passage gives us fair warning about doing just that.

    Passage: Acts 12:19b-25 Intro: It’s interesting that God has providentially brought us to this passage on our 4th of July weekend. 1. there is always a danger lurking for every human being. 2. it is the danger to worship things of this world instead of God. PP Romans 1:25 3. it is a general danger ...read more

    What Is Our Problem?

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,695 views

    This is our second study in this series. God describes our problem, how we got there and what it does to us. Once we begin to understand the problem and how devastating it is, perhaps we will begin to appreciate the solution.

    We came from God. We were made to be like God. (As we studied last week). So, what is the problem? Genesis, again, holds the answer. Chapter 3 tells the story. Everything God made was good, very good. But then things change. There was this tree and this serpent. God had put Adam and Eve in a ...read more

     | 4,819 views

    God is in a cosmic war with evil that he invites us to engage in. In Lewis’s TLTWTW we see parallels to biblical, spiritual weapons of our warfare in the gifts given to the children in Narnia: Sword, Cordial, Horn

    BE121105 WAR WITH GOD 2. The Sword, Cordial and Horn (TITLE SLIDE) INTRO Samaritan’s Purse put out a story about brutal persecution going on in Southeast Asia and the Sudan.

    On this path of sanctification, we will experience sufferings and hardships, but we can trust in God's providence, His divine purpose and His protection over us. We will grow into the likeness of Christ and finish the race in victory.

    We’ve come to what many considered the most beautiful and encouraging part of the book of Romans.

    THE MEASURE OF OUR PRAYERS This morning, we continue our sermon series with today’s message, ‘The Measure of Our Prayers.’ One of the things God will surely measure, is our prayer life.

     | 2,562 views

    David shows us his artistic flair. He paints some of the most moving word pictures of the great dimensions of God’s tender compassion. God’s love for you is as high as the heavens are above the earth.

    Our God of Compassion Psalm 103:1-22 If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have one chapter of the Bible which chapter, would you choose? There are a lot of good answers, but Psalm 103 should at least make your short list. For those who feel strongly about praise Psalm 103 is an ...read more

    God does not want believers to isolate or insulate themselves from the world and those who are lost. Like salt, Christians are called to make the world tastier; and like light, believers will shine the brightest only in the darkest places.

    Are you useful to God, or have you made yourself useless? When we come to know Jesus Christ, we are transformed into a holy instrument to be used by the Lord. We all have a purpose, but some of us choose to make ourselves useless by not allowing the Lord to touch us with His hand. To put it ...read more
