    Hide And Seek Series

    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Sep 26, 2007
    based on 26 ratings
     | 8,690 views

    This is the second sermon in a series of five to help my congregation become more outward focused. It is based on the church outreach program titled - "Outflow".

    Hide and Seek – Overflowing Outreach God wants to give us an overflowing life – an abundant life. Last week we focused in on John ten – ten where it says: “I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance.” John 10:10 (HCSB) If you recall we spoke of how the word abundance in the ...read more

    Feed The Dogs Series

    Jesus is not impressed with an outward show of self-righteousness, but with an inner heart of dependence upon Him, which he found among the Gentile "dogs."

    I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles; ...read more

    The Council Fathers made much use of Paul's theology of the Church in writing the Dogmatic Constitution of the Church, and it points us outward to a starving world.

    Monday of 29th Week in Course 2012 Vatican II Documents The occurrence of the Letter to the Ephesians in our Lectionary right at the beginning of the year of faith, in which have begun to study Lumen Gentium, is quite providential.

    Attitude Counts

    Many of us concern ourselves with the outward approach to sin, but are attitudes have not changed. Well, attitude counts tremendously in our walk with the Lord.

    The other day, I was in the grocery store, and I noticed a lot of gloomy faces. I began thinking about my mother, who a year ago lost my father, her husband of over 60 years, and she seemingly has been in a funk ever since. I have tried cheering her up, but her mood stays the same. Now, I know ...read more

    Humility Or Hypocrisy

    Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Oct 30, 2020
     | 2,503 views

    As followers of Christ Jesus, we should be more concerned about the orientation of our heart and lives than we are about outward appearances.

    Humility or Hypocrisy Matthew 23: 1 - 12 Intro: A story is told of a Texas rancher who met up with a Wisconsin dairy farmer. The 2 men talked about their land & the dairy farmer told the rancher that he operated his farm on 125 acres. The Texan, not to be outdone said, “Yankee, that ain’t ...read more

    You Shall Not Covet Series

    In the tenth commandment, God’s searchlight moves from actions to attitudes. The commandment is not against an outward act but it is aimed at a person’s intentions.

    Today I want to talk to you about a problem both the rich and the poor have – the problem of coveting. Remember we have divided the Ten Commandments into two categories: The first four are commandments directly related to God Himself – You Shall No Other gods Before Me… You Shall Not Make Any ...read more

     | 1,429 views

    Don’t judge a person’s spirituality by their outward shy or quiet disposition. James was chosen by Jesus as one of His inner three.

    A. QUIET AND OVERLOOKED 1. Why are some people quiet? a. They don’t like to talk. b. They don’t have anything to say. c. They are shy. 2. “Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before” (1 Thessalonians 4:11, ...read more

    Adornment Befitting A Christian

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 5, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,190 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."

    The second of our "I Do" sermon series focusing on "The Proposal." Do we look out for our own interests or think outward?

    John 4:5-29 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well.

     | 5,865 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

    How Can I Be Saved?

    based on 24 ratings
     | 2,103 views

    This is the most pertinent question being raised by a world today. While it looks to the outward, God clearly mandates that it is possible only in His Son, Jesus Christ.

    “How Can I Be Saved?” Romans 10:9 A. It begins with CONFESSING Jesus Christ as LORD.

    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,301 views

    In our last installment of this series on The Beatitudes we looked at "hungering and thirsting for righteousness." Showing mercy is the outward expression of the inner hungering and thirsting after righteousness.

    Blessed are the Merciful The Beatitudes Matthew 5:7 #5 of 8 in Series INTRODUCTION While walking home from school, Mark noticed the boy ahead of him had stumbled to the ground and dropped everything he was carrying.
