     | 20,890 views

    Easter is all about "accounting". When most people think about going to heaven, they count their good deeds... but God doesn't do it that way. How do we prepare ourselves for standing before the one to Whom we must give an accounting?

    OPEN: There’s been a story in the news recently about the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, otherwise known as HUD. Apparently HUD has had a problem balancing their books. It seems their books were off about (PAUSE) $516 BILLION dollars. Now that’s not an error of a few 100,000 dollars… or ...read more

    Do not allow the enemy to cloud the Holy Spirits thoughts in your life. When you do fall into a trap think clearly. Remember it is your choice to make a decision to trust god

    The Trust Factor Ps 33:18-22 … But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. 19 He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine. We depend on the LORD alone to save us. Only he can help us, protecting us like a shield. In him, our hearts ...read more

    God has prepared us for a ministry. Why do we think God has prepared us our entire life to fail? Won’t He be with us along the journey?

    Several centuries ago, a Japanese emperor commissioned an artist to paint a picture of a bird. A number of months passed, then several years, and still no painting was brought to the palace.

    God say our feet are beautiful when we talk about Jesus with others. What’s so significant about our feet that God would think they would be beautiful?

    Perspectives, Priorities And Personal Choices

    Contributed by Samuel Wilder on Jun 1, 2004
    based on 139 ratings
     | 15,321 views

    I used this as a subtle stewardship sermon to get people thinking about how they look at "stuff," what they make as priority in their lives and how their choices affect them, their world and even the church.

    I think there are three things that will determine the way we live and the way that we give: Our perspective – how we not only look at things but how we see them. Our priorities – what we place as of utmost importance in our lives (and, often, in our world). Our personal choices – what we hang to, ...read more

    Impetous, I’d say. Reckless, all the way. That was Peter to a fault. Come to think of it, we’re all a lot like him. As God did with him He will with us!

    Introduction I. "Hardened by the elements of life and polished by the daily grind" would of been the way his resume’ would of began! His name was Peter. Some who had the misfortune of meeting up with him on a bad day probably called him by some other name. A. Regardless though, God used this ...read more
