  • Not What The Eye Sees Series

    Contributed by Mike Wilkins on Feb 4, 2003
    based on 185 ratings
     | 18,333 views

    We might say "The clothes make the man," but God is more interested in the heart, and so should we be.

    James 2:1-13 January 26, 2003 Not What The Eye Sees They say “the clothes make the man.” It is probably not that the clothes make the man, but that the clothes make our opinion of the man, or the woman. When I was in university, I was heavily involved with a Christian group on campus ...read more

  • Praying For Power Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,760 views

    Paul prays for power, not for specific situations but for the power to know the enormity of the love of God.

    I wonder if you remember that time in the 80s when there were a string of books published with the idea of power in the title. Here are some examples: Power Evangelism, Power Preaching, How to Release God’s Healing Power Through Prayer, Hidden Power of Speaking in Tongues, Confronting Powerless ...read more

    We live in such a mobile society, it is easier to move than to have a change of heart. We have eroded confidence, then we want to run away. We are breeding divorce and church hopping.

    ERODED CONFIDENCE DO WE HAVE TO HAVE A CHANGE OF LOCATION? OR A CHANGE OF HEART. By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I do this is two parts... Luke 21:26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall ...read more

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 29, 2016
     | 4,477 views

    Keeping tradition is a good thing, but not always. Some use it to put others down, or raise themselves up, either way it is bullying. How do we handle this? How did Jesus handle this?

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 2nd September 2012; St Oswald’s is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries.

  • Be Ready To Receive Help Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,651 views

    Jesus received people according to how they were convicted to serve Him. However, we as human beings often miss the bigger picture, and forfeit opportunities to assist people in being used by God to further the kingdom.

    I want to begin by sharing something from the apostle Paul. Paul, in speaking about what a person should give to the church in the way of monetary offerings; he once stated, “For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have” ...read more

    A look at some of the basics of why there has to be a hell.

    - Hell is a subject that most Christians (and preachers) would just as soon avoid. - Hell is one of the most difficult subjects in the Bible. What do you do with the mocking “God is love and if you don’t love Him He’ll send you to hell!”? - We’re going to address ...read more

  • Adornment Befitting A Christian

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 5, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,366 views

    More important than attractive outward apparel is the adornment of a holy life. The incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit is very precious in the sight of God.

    ADORNMENT BEFITTING A CHRISTIAN "Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wear-ing gold, or putting on fine apparel--rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." I ...read more

  • Tradition And The Tongue

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Jun 27, 2012
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,992 views

    Jesus is not interested in rules which people can point to as the outward manifestation of some arbitrary rule-driven form of righteousness. He is interested in the heart.

    There are many traditions in the world. One of those traditions is to have a liturgical calendar and today, May 27 happens to be the Day of Pentecost. It is the day of the birth of the church, fifty days after the Passover. And that was the day according to Jewish tradition that Moses received ...read more

    This message was given for a specific Church going through a time of transition (seeking a new pastor.) In this message God reminds us that if we are communing with Him, He has ordered our steps and we just need to prayerfully follow them.

    THE FIELD IS THE WORLD Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:36-43 The interpretation of the parable of the wheat and the tares (Matthew 13:24-30) should not be a matter of contention, as Jesus Himself gives the interpretation (Matthew 13:36-43).

    based on 3 ratings

    True worship requires sincere hearts and just actions, not empty rituals; God desires authentic faith that transforms both our inner lives and outward behavior.

    Friends, pull up a chair in your heart and take a deep breath. You made it here—through noise and news, errands and emails. You brought your whole week with you, and that’s good, because the God who loves you meets you as you are. He is wonderfully near, whispering through His Word, “I see you. I ...read more
