The Real Us

Contributed by Tim Carper on Sep 8, 2007

I want us to take a long hard look at ourselves this morning and glean some truths from Paul’s words. I want us to look at our condition, our need and what God has done to meet that need and then our response to God’s actions.

We, at times, don’t like the real us! Now before you attack that statement, listen to the latest statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons: since 1997 there has been an increase of 444 percent in the total number of elective cosmetic procedures.

Our Traditions Series

Contributed by Tim White on Dec 5, 2011

Transcending Tradition Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jul 6, 2009

While looking at the disciplines of fasting and Sabbath, this message encourages believers not to let any tradition steal their joy or their love. We can’t be so into church business that we forget what our business is, and that is to help people.

Transcending Tradition (Mark 2:18 – 3:6) Just this last week, I came across some odd laws that are still on the books around the country. I think you’ll find them quite amusing. For example, young girls are never allowed to walk a tightrope in Wheeler, Mississippi, unless it’s in a church. In ...read more
