    Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

     | 4,228 views

    God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

    I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

    If the church is going to promote abundant life and begin attracting people, it must become more than just a physical structure. It must be seen as a house, or rather, a home. It must become a place where people feel safe and secure.

    There was once a story in the Oregonian, Portland’s morning newspaper, of a man who had helped construct a Roman Catholic Church in Mexico. He used inferior materials in order to make more money. At the dedication of the building, the roof collapsed, killing many of the worshipers including the ...read more

    People Pleaser Or God Pleaser? Series

    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,261 views

    If we please God then we must do that which pleases Him. We just cannot hold onto anything of our choosing and say, “this is to please God” OR “such & such thing pleases God.” We’ll check out Enoch’s testimony to see how he pleased God.

    Opening illustration: While I was doing the Rapture series a number of years ago, one evening on not finding me in the house, my wife thought I was raptured. She had a panic attack … Let read Hebrews 11: 5 – 6 and see what was the second testimony of Enoch that raptured him. Introduction: Implied ...read more

    Jesus said: Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it! Considering we are Christ's Church; what kind of church do you want this one to be? Do we want it to be pleasing to the Lord or do we want to just get by until He comes??
