    People say they do not want to go to our church because of all the hypocrites. Is it possible to go through life not knowing that our lifestyle portrays hypocrisy? Could we in fact be "an unconscious hypocrite?"

    “The Unconscious Hypocrites” Matthew 7:15-20 The remainder of Chapt. 7 has one message; walking through the “strait or narrow gate & staying on the path! On this journey, we are shown some of the hindrances, obstacles, or pitfalls one might encounter. We are shown 2 ...read more

    When We've Given Up On God Coming Through For Us

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,151 views

    As time passes by, we lose our hope that God is going to fulfill the promises He's made. This message looks at why God delays and how we can maintain solid faith in the face of the waiting.

    [This is a long outline that might be better suited to a Wednesday evening Bible study.] WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH AT GOD? We laugh because we’ve given up hope. - Genesis 18:11-12. - The way verse 12 is phrased makes it obvious that she once harbored real hope that this would happen. The problem is ...read more

    It’s Time To Stop Pretending Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,205 views

    We are more like the Pharisees than we would like to admit - hiding our true selves from others and from God and blaming external things for the consequences of our own behavior. But Jesus offers real hope if we will open up to Him in relationship.

    The act of projection involves blaming things outside of yourself for your problems. The act of denying personal responsibility means it is the fault of your spouse, your boss, the government, the weather, or even that tool you were using. The Pharisees were masters at projection, and as it turns ...read more

    Do the rich go to hell and the poor to heaven? What determines our future status?

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16: 19-31 This parable of our Lord, found in Luke 16, grows out of the reaction of the Pharisees to his story of the dishonest steward. The point of that was that our Lord emphasized and underscored the link between money and spirituality. He indicated ...read more

    There are seven woes in this text. Let’s consider only a few of these to see how they apply to us.

    INTRO.- ILL.- A rather pompous-looking deacon was trying to impress a class of boys with the importance of living the Christian life. "Why do people call me a Christian?" the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, "Maybe it’s because they don’t know you." ILL.- During one of his ...read more
