    Multiply Your Blessings

    Contributed by Diana Ball on Dec 1, 2008
    based on 35 ratings
     | 16,792 views

    Ephesians 1:3 says we have already been given every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms, yet we do not seem to have them. Could it be because we do not know how to reach out and take them?

    JOHN 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." The Good News Bible translates that statement of Jesus as, "I have come in order that you might have life ---- life in all its fullness." That’s what our faith ...read more

    A sermon about finding Godly priorities to live our lives by.

    Finding the Right Priorities in Life John 4:31-38 Are any of you busy?

    This stewardship sermon is a play on the children’s book, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." Main idea of the sermon is tithing our TIME.

    If You Give the Church a Penny… 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 Laura Joffe Numeroff is the author of a beloved pre-school classic entitled, “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.” Now, some of us may be quite familiar with the book, but others may not… So, let me begin this morning by reading this classic to ...read more

    There Is A War Going On Series

    Gives a clear understanding of the Spiritual war that is going on around us.

    As with all the sermons I put online, no sermon is original, yet I believe that material gathered is unique. "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish ...read more

     | 9,500 views

    Jesus has just claimed to be equal with God, to give eternal life (18), to be the source of life (26) & to be the judge of life (27). Are there any other witnesses to support this almost unbelievable claim? There most certainly are!

    JOHN 5: 33-38 WITNESSES FOR THE DIVINE SON [Isaiah 35:5-6] Jesus has just claimed to be equal with God, to give eternal life (18), to be the source of life (26), and to be the judge of life (27). Jesus was claiming to be divine. Are there any ...read more

    The Real Lord's Prayer Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,152 views

    What is on Jesus’ heart when he prays for himself, and for you? How could this change your prayers?

    When someone communicates to us a need in their life, we as Christians have an automatic response. We say, “I’m praying for you.” Now that is a fine response if we actually do it. Many times what we really mean is “I’d like to pray for you, lifting you up to the Father, but in reality I’m going to ...read more

    Sexual Purity

    Contributed by Leonard Davis on Jul 21, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,037 views

    It seems that we are a society that is submerged in the seamier side of life. Christians are not isolated nor insulated from such influence.

    SEXUAL PURITY We really live in a confused and confusing world! We have so many conflicting messages coming at us that it is difficult to know what to think or believe. This is especially true for people who do not have exposure to regular and direct Biblical teaching on life itself. Have you ...read more

    Peter tells us that we must be of sound judgment and sober spirit to prepare for the last days in which we live.

    The Incomprehensible Light

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Dec 21, 2009
    based on 17 ratings
     | 11,514 views

    Jesus Christ is the incomprehensible Light given to remove the veil of darkness that shrouds us fas a result of sin. Let us consider the need for Light, the source of the Light, the reception of the Light, and the disbursement of the Light.

    Introduction: In Luke 1:78-79, concerning the coming of Christ, Zechariah proclaimed, “Because of our God’s merciful compassion, the Dawn from on high will visit us to shine on those who live in darkness and the shadow of death to guide our feet into the way of peace.” Jesus Christ is the ...read more

    My Daddy Keeps His Promises Series

    Contributed by K. Simms on Jan 6, 2010
    based on 10 ratings
     | 11,694 views

    How can we allow ourselves to move under the anointing of God and yet not be transformed by His Spirit? The question is not “how can we allow such a devastating and detestable act to occur”; the question goes out “why do we allow it to happen”?

    My Daddy Keeps His Promises Exodus 34:29-35 The one thing that church folk often miss in their visitation to the sanctuary on the Sabbath is seeing the presence of God. How do we know this? Well all you have to do is look upon the faces of the men and women who claim that they have been to the ...read more

    We must guard against the worldly pressures and fears that threaten us to "tone down" the Gospel message.

    FEAR! A WORD THAT IS ONLY 4-LETTERS, BUT ONE THAT CAN REAP DEVESTATING CONSEQUENCES. FEAR IS SO POWERFUL THAT IT CAN PARALYZE, CONTROLL, AND MANIPULATE US. FEAR CAN COMPELS US TO DO IRRESPONSIBLE THINGS AND CAN EVEN HINDER US FROM LIVING RESPONSIBLY AND LIVING FRUITLESS LIVES. THIS IS WHY I ...read more

    Don't Worry, Be Happy! Series

    Contributed by Jerry Shirley on Jul 20, 2006
    based on 306 ratings
     | 42,658 views

    It’s easy to say, "Don’t Worry," but it’s better to give someone the tools Jesus provided here to win the war over worrying. The FATHER FACTOR, the FOCUS FACTOR, and the FUTURE FACTOR. Link included to formatted text, handout, and PowerPoint Template.

    Don’t Worry, Be Happy! Matthew 6:25-34 "Don’t worry about it." Have you ever had those words said to you? Did it work? Probably not! Easy words to say, but hard to put into practice. In essence that is what the Scripture says in verse 25. [read] But it goes on to tell us how not to worry. It ...read more

    Why is the tongue such an important member that it either hurts or helps people? How can we learn to tame the tongue for good rather than for evil?

    Learn from the example of Caleb: (1) Don’t focus on your misfortunes, trust God; (2) Follow the Lord wholeheartedly and you will be rewarded; (3) Be strong in the Lord, because this will bring blessings to others.
