    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jun 4, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 13,563 views

    Healing the relationships in our homes involves 1. Honest confession. 2. A willingness to stop the things that hurt the other person. 3. Opening our hearts to them once again and allowing them to come in.

    In the Scripture reading this morning, we find one of the most dysfunctional families in the Bible. The irony is that it is a family led by one of the most godly men in the Old Testament — King David. David is described as a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14), and he was. But he was ...read more

    Today we are going to talk about a real person, an individual who plays an important part in the Bible's account of Jesus' birth, but who is seldom mentioned in Christmas programs or sermons. His name is King Herod.

    The man who hated Christmas. Who am I talking about? Is it Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser whose motto for Christmas was "bah-humbug"? Or is it The Grinch, the creature who tries to steal Christmas because he can't stand to see people happy? Well, neither. Today we are going to talk about a real ...read more

    How can we change from being the kind of person who vacillates, who lives with one foot in the world & one foot in the church, to being "all you can be" in God’s sight?

    Just because someone is spiritually mature does not automatically assure them of easy solutions to their problems. However, the spiritually mature person has the foundational impetus, power, and direction for dealing with all issues of life successfully

    How to Mature in Christ The Bible assures us that if we abide in Jesus, we can ask whatever we wish and it will be done for us.

    It is immaterial how old a person is, how shattered, how poor or rich; no one is locked up in the past. One could always and everywhere follow the voice of his or her angel and start a new life.
