    Paul had an affliction; what’s yours?

    2 COR 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He ...read more

    This is the third in a series of sermons based on Paul’s letter to Timothy as a guide to how the church should behave. This message explores the generation gap in churches.

    Tomorrow is the birthday of my lovely wife of 16 years. A difficult time in the Monck household as Debbie rapidly approaches the big 4-0.

    "Joy Stealers"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Mar 23, 2003
    based on 161 ratings
     | 14,585 views

    Although Paul was in prison, he remained "joyful." Paul warns us of five different "joy stealers" and offers ways in which to avoid them.

    “JOY STEALERS” Phil. 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice.” It is as much a command to "rejoice always," as it is to "not steal." An unhappy Christian is very unchristlike. Remember that the "Joy of the Lord is our strength." Today we will discuss five things that will ...read more

    You see, the gospel is not just something you hold onto but the gospel has its hold on you. The power of the Gospel on a person is most evident when you see its hold on a person.

    Happy Father’s Day! Dads, there are too few good fathers around. Dads, I want to speak to encourage you to deepen your commitment to living a life of integrity in Christ. To know Jesus is to have a story of how you came to know Jesus. This story is often referred to as your “testimony.” In fact, ...read more

    There are many sources that we seek approval from, but our greatest desire should be that God approve our actions, attitudes and words.

    LIVING A GOD-APPROVED LIFE GALATIANS 2:1-10 INTRODUCTION We might say trying to win approval from others consumes our lives. We do what our bosses require so that they might approve us and therefore give us our paycheck. Children seek approval from their parents. This means a lot to them and ...read more

    My dad was one of those guys that never got rid of clothes. He would keep things that moths no longer desired. And truth be told I have a few things of his to this day.

    You have heard similar stories I am sure. This is a true story of a Pastor in Brazil who was loved, respected, and faithful to Christ in every way. But it hadn't always been that way.
