    Fasting Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Oct 21, 2012
     | 16,143 views

    Fasting on a regular basis draws us closer to God and strengthens our faith and resolve to do God’s will. Fasting, like going to the gym, builds the muscle of your faith. Too often, the focus of fasting is on the lack of food. Instead, the purpose of fast

    Fasting: A Means of Grace Matthew 6:16-18 In both the Old Testament and the New, to fast means to abstain from food. This is so clear that it would be useless to quote the Scriptures from David, Nehemiah, Isaiah, and the prophets and even the New Testament. All agree that to fast means not to eat ...read more

    Apple Of Love Series

    based on 83 ratings
     | 6,869 views

    What is "physical fruit"? "An outward evidence of the inward nature of the tree." (We know an apple tree is an apple tree because is produces apples). Likewise, if we are walking in the Spirit, we will evidence His inward presence.

    THE APPLE OF LOVE In John 15:8, Jesus declared, "In this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, so shall you be My disciples." We glorify the Father and prove that we are followers of Jesus, when we produce the Fruit of the Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit is much ...read more

    Proposition: When you are suffering, it is easier to agonize over the loss of God’s outward blessing and proper relationship to God Himself, than keep an upbeat attitude and keep from sinning in one’s inward spirit.

    Thanksgiving Turns Us Inside Out Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008
     | 3,043 views

    When our mind is set up on the things of the Spirit, we will be “outward focused.” When our mind is set upon the things of the flesh, we re “inward focused.” Thanksgiving directs our attention toward God.

    1. Review of Inside Out a. We are selfish, self-centered and self-absorbed. b. We turn to meeting our own needs and our own wants all too easily. c. God doesn’t want us to be that way. i. How do I know that? Because that is what is at the core of what we call sin – self. ii. If you think about this ...read more

    Our study of worship reminds us that the effectiveness of all that we do in the church is not to be found in outward activity or service, but in the One who stands behind it. The One whom we serve. The One deserving of our worship.

    There is no truer indicator of a Christian’s level of spiritual maturity than their prayer life. Paul’s outward ministry reveals so much about Paul, but his prayer life gives us a glimpse at his soul.

    Essentials for Growth in Godliness Philippians 1:9-11 Intro As we have started our study of the book of Philippians, we have already learned that Paul was a man that did not find his joy in the circumstances of the world, but rather in God.

    Working on our core relationship with God moves us outward and has its effects on those closest to us. And who is closer than your spouse? WE NEED TO HAVE A DAILY TALK TIME WITH OUR SPOUSE.

    At birth Samson was called into a Nazirite vow. It consisted of never tasting alcohol, staying away from the dead, and never cutting the hair. (A lifestyle of outward consecration.) 1. Love God. 2. Loving our neighbor.

    One More Time Judges 16:28NKJ Then Samson called to the Lord, saying, “O Lord God, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!” At birth Samson was called into ...read more

    Because God has made us righteous in Christ, He expects us to live righteously or with right behavior. Such behavior is the outward manifestation of the inward transformation, & the only sure proof that such inner transformation has taken place.

    Is revival the result of the outward things we do such as elaborate programs and new flashy buildings? Or is it the result of the inward man and what is happening inside us spiritually? What must happen before God’s presence will come?

    If you have ever seen the Universal Studios movie “Field of Dreams” then you will more than likely recall that unforgettable scene where Ray Kinsella (played by Kevin Costner) is standing in the middle of a cornfield when he hears a voice say to him, “If you build it, he will come.” Ray then ...read more
