     | 12,069 views

    Three things a good dad wants his kids to do. (These are also three things our heavenly Father wants from all of us.)

    A traditional Father’s Day sermon would direct its attention to things a good dad ought to do. Instead, let’s look today at some things a good dad wants his kids to do. In Proverbs 4:1-4, Solomon says: "Hear ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. (2) For I ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,111 views

    This series is based on Charles Stanley’s book "Landmines". The two messages on SC are two landmines which Dr. Stanley did not include. I highly recommend readding his book.

    The Landmine of Animosity 1 Samuel 18:1-30 * It was May 12, 1970, when Army Corporal Robert Earl Green of Purvis, MS, was killed in the Vietnam War. We were told that he stepped on a landmine. Although they sent his body home, the casket was unopened because of the damage to Bobby’s body. This ...read more

    Exhaustion: Finding Rest In Taking The Sabbath Seriously Series

    Contributed by Steve Miller on Feb 11, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,669 views

    Running ourselves to death is nothing new to God, who created everything with a precaution in mind-or perhaps an antidote-to exhaustion: Sabbath Rest. Wouldn’t you like to emerge from a Sabbath day refreshed and ready to tackle the most important things o

    It is obviously a scheme of Satan to keep us running in circles until we’re exhausted and totally uninterested in discipleship. This scheme is nothing new to God, who created everything with a precaution in mind--or perhaps an antidote--to exhaustion: Sabbath Rest. God has never stopped desiring ...read more

    It is out of our personal relationship with God that we come to know with assurance certain things in the Christian life. These closing assurances are intended to be great encouragements to us.

    1 JOHN 5: 18-21 [LIFE, LIGHT & LOVE SERIES] THE KEEPING POWER OF GOD John here reaches the end of what he wants to write. He has clearly shown the differences between the true believer and the false, and now he concludes by reiterating his purpose, which is to assure his readers who ...read more

    Who Is The Boss Of Me?

    Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Mar 5, 2015
     | 8,127 views

    This message is designed to cause us to reflect upon whether we are asking and allowing God to direct our lives.

    As human beings, we share a common desire; that desire is to be in charge of our lives. Consider the lyrics shared by Lesley Gore: You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys; You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys And don't tell me what to do.
