    The Highest Priority Series

    Contributed by Steve Bond on Oct 31, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,041 views

    Whether you’ve been walking with Jesus for a short or a long time, it’s good to take stock of your goals and priorities.

    Introduction Many of the New Testament letters were written to address problems in the churches. A good illustration is 1 Corinthians when Paul offers counsel on issues like division in the church, immorality, lawsuits among believers, spiritual gifts and the resurrection. 1 Corinthians deals with ...read more

    When God works “in us” His cleansing, purifying work, then the truth of Jesus’ solutions for “unrighteous righteousness” will become reality. We must make sure the inner spiritual control center is fully complete – pure – and then the outer control cente

    UNRIGHTEOUS RIGHTEOUSNESS Matthew 6:1-24 Text: Matthew 6:1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness before people, to be seen by them; for if you do, you will have no reward from your Father Who is in heaven.” Unrighteous righteousness! This sounds like an oxymoron – two ...read more

    Are You Righteous Or Religious

     | 10,041 views

    Dr. Martin Luther King "If I can help somebody as I pass along, then my living will not be in vain". Righteousness is the quality or state of being morally correct and justifiable “behavior that is morally justifiable or right.”

    Are You Righteous or Religious? By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - A couple of weeks ago I did a message titled “What Kind of Spirit do you Have”? I love how God sends and uses confirmation. My brother Mark also has been dealing with something very similar and dealing with the ...read more

    A grateful heart is necessary to a healthy walk with God.

    “Gratitude, or Ingratitude?” Luke 17:11-19 The story is told of a man who had traveled to a distant city on business. While walking through the city he happened upon a man whom he known some years before. The man, who had fallen upon hard times, was now a homeless beggar. The businessman, after ...read more

    Living Sacrifices

    Contributed by Tammy Garrison on Jul 17, 2002
    based on 61 ratings
     | 10,174 views

    This is the 6th sermon in a series on Paul’s letter to the Romans. The problem with living sacrifices is they keep getting down off the altar.

    “living sacrifices” Now that’s an interesting turn of phrase. It sounds like an oxymoron. Living and sacrifice don’t really seem like they go together, do they? When I think of the word ‘sacrifice’, certain images come to mind. I think of a play made in baseball, where one player is tagged out ...read more

    Climbing Higher

     | 10,777 views

    Satan wants to keep us from making progress in our spiritual life. With the Lord’s help, though, we can keep on climbing. To avoid sin’s tragedy, learn Satan’s strategy.

    Opening illustration: Pastor Dale Kurtz laughed so hard that his sides ached. He was watching a frustrated squirrel trying to climb the metal pole supporting a bird feeder. The squirrel repeatedly got part way up, then slowly slid down the pole in a heap. In describing this incident, Kurtz wrote, ...read more

    It’s a dangerous thing to have hidden sin in the church.

    JOSHUA 7:10-13 “SIN IN THE CAMP” A) There is nothing so damaging, nothing so hurtful as when a person, especially a Christian, is living in sin! * This morning we’re going to see what happened to the nation of Israel as the result of one man’s disobedience to the Lord. * Moses has now ...read more

    EphesiansI is addressed to those who are “saints who are Ephesus, and who are faithful in Christ Jesus.” So, when he commands us to be filled with the Spirit, Paul recognizes that many Christians are not filled of the Spirit.
