     | 5,519 views

    God never meant for the flesh to be rehabilitated, it needs to be sacrificed. The work of the Lord in our lives is not remodeling, but renewing.

IL.: A young boy was standing on the porch, trying to reach the doorbell. The ...read more

    Many fathers in today's world are wasting their opportunities and neglecting their duties. They are prodigal fathers! God is the perfect Father, and human fathers would do well to learn and return to His ways.

    The Prodigal Father returning to the Ideal Father INTRO: The world has set aside June 21st as a day to honor fathers. Of course if you are striving to please God, you will "honor your father" more than just one day a year (Ephesians 6:2). But "Father's Day" is a day on which some individuals ...read more

    This sermon tells of the buried treasure inside of you, your own understanding, knowledge, and God’s truth. You should share your treasure with others and bring others to Him so when the end comes, we will all live in the kingdom of heaven.

    Matthew 13:44 – 52 reads, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

    Heaven need not be an obsession, yet our relationship with God should be. It is this relationship which drives everything good in our lives. It is motivation for love for each other, gives us strength for today, and fills with hope for an eternity with Gd

    • The Bible is NOT obsessed with heaven. When Jesus speaks of the Kingdom of Heaven or the Kingdom of God, in general, He is not talking about a future housing for God and His people-He is talking about a way of living here and now. The greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven must be the servant of ...read more
