    Satan's Nearly Perfect Plan

    Contributed by James May on Dec 2, 2007
    based on 24 ratings
     | 6,980 views

    The temptations that Jesus faced in the wilderness present a pattern that Satan has used since the creation of man. He had a nearly perfect plan to get even with God, but it failed at Calvary.

    Satan’s Nearly Perfect Plan By Pastor Jim May There’s an old saying that goes like this: “Even the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Things just don’t always work out the way we plan them to. Satan’s plan to overcome man was perfect. He knew that if he could just get Adam to ...read more

     | 7,266 views

    Stating the truth is a goal for most Christians. This is what sparked the reformation. And one of the events that is turning point in the reformation is the presentation of the Augsburg Confession, which is a statement of how important God is and that Je

    Today we are remembering an important and significant event for Christians and for us as Lutherans. It is when a group of lay political leaders publicly read and supported what was stated in the Augsburg Confession. On this day, 476 years ago, at around 3 o’clock in the afternoon on the 25 ...read more

     | 4,455 views

    An invitation is presented to accept a 21 day challenge, and embark upon a complaint-free life and help build a complaint free church and a complaint free world—one person at a time.

    I know how easy it is to complain, to find dissatisfaction with a situation or circumstance. In the 1970s, TV’s Saturday Night Live program, one of their skits involved "The Whiner Family." Anybody remember that skit? The family members spoke with a grating, irritating whine. When they engaged in a ...read more

    Jude 24 says, "God is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy..." WE NEED POWER!!!

    P.O.W.E.R. Luke 15:4-7 Just like The Good Shepherd… God wants to restore your relationship with Him. 1. Three things will determine whether you will stand or fall… 1. The changes you are willing to make. Has anything become more important to you than your relationship with Christ? We are to put ...read more

    Come Together

    The Bible tells us that God presented His “everlasting covenant” to man. God often referred to this covenant by calling it, “My Covenant”. This covenant was a means of reuniting man with God.

    Come Together In the Garden of Eden – 1. God created a perfect world. 2. Devil created the perfect plot of deception and demise. 3. Man was made in God’s image. 4. Man was fooled by the devil’s lies. 5. The result was that the perfect relationship between man and God was severed and separated ...read more

    Because God loved us, we love others. To reach seekers, this is the good news of this sermon, presented as simply and plainly (but *truth*fully!) as I am able for the unchurched.

    Every Methodist pastor of the last 250 years has answered the same set of 17 questions – questions that John Wesley himself asked of all his ministers. They range from the most basic and fundamental issues of Christianity: “Have you faith in Christ” to the complicated: “Have you studied the ...read more

     | 23,245 views

    Salvation was only the beginning! Now, God wants us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. This is an act of surrender, commitment, and dedication. Paul tells us HOW to do it.

    “It’s Time For A Change!” Romans 12:1-2 Life is full of CHANGES! HAS your life CHANGED in last YEAR … 5 Yr. … 10 … 20? IF IT HASN’T … then must have been living on a deserted island somewhere! There are 2 BASIC KINDS of “change” … INTERNAL & EXTERNAL. We usually LIKE … EXTERNAL ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,139 views

    The spices mentioned to be used on the day of Atonement in the Holy of Holies present a facinating testimony to the salvation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They are a foreshadowing of His work of mercy, grace and love.

     | 3,098 views

    As Winston Churchill rallied the British people, so Paul rallies Christians by urging us to review our motivations and to present something solid and not merely entertaining. Such a church will prevail and thrive.

    On the fifth of June, 1940, not even a month after he became prime minister, Winston Churchill spoke to the British people to encourage them of their desperate situation. Bear in mind that in September of the previous year the Nazis had invaded Poland, with no effective resistance. Thereafter, ...read more

    Answers, Not Appeasement

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 19, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,672 views

    When our needs are real, we want genuine answers, not just appeasements. Look to self-esteem, look to the resources already present, and look to the Lord of victory for real answers.

    When you need something, and you ask for it, what do you expect? Do you expect an answer or an appeasement? Do you expect a clear-cut, usable answer to your request, or are you satisfied if you are just told, well, have a nice day? When you need something, and you ask for it, which really satisfies ...read more
