    God's Word: Nourishment For The Spirit

    Contributed by Larry Brincefield on May 28, 2004
    based on 29 ratings
     | 8,815 views

    The Bible provides nourishment for our spirit, much like food and water provide physical nourishment. We need to accept the authority of God’s Word; Incorporate the truth of the Bible into our thinking; and Apply it to our lives.

    (I borrowed from William Richard Ezell’s sermon published in The Preacher’s Magazine—using his outline and some of his ideas. But I also included enough new material that I thought it worthwhile to post. I don’t have footnote material on the magazine. If anyone has it, please email it to me, and ...read more

    The Virtue Of Kindeness (6 Of 10) Series

    Contributed by Jeff Armbrester on Apr 1, 2003
    based on 61 ratings
     | 4,375 views

    Kindness is not an attitude or emotion. We do no think of people as being kind simply because they do not hurt anybody. We regard people as being kind if they go out of their way, with no public recognition, to perform deeds of kindness.

    The Virtue of Kindness Part 6 The Core Virtues of the Christian Life Galatians 5:22-23; Micah 6:8 Jeff Armbrester Mamie Adams always went to a branch post office in her town because the postal employees there were friendly.

    Christian Toolbox Basics

    Contributed by Jim Twamley on Apr 2, 2003
    based on 45 ratings
     | 13,304 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more

    Trade In "I've Arrived" For "Let's Grow!" Series

    Contributed by Darrell Stetler Ii on Feb 8, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 5,861 views

    A lot of people plateau because they think once they become a Christian, that’s it -- they’ve arrived. If you want to make progress, trade in that attitude for one that says, "I’m going to grow!" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Trade-offs for a happy 2005. Everything plateaus when until you’re willing to make the trade-off. <ILLUS> Mt. Climber up Mt. Everest – started out with cameras, tripods, exotic foods, etc. Discarded them one by one. He had to make the trade-off to keep on climbing upward. Trade in “I’ve ...read more

    From our text, let’s think about some things we can do to improve our lives and our relationship to the Lord. 1- Wake up 2- Shape up 3- Dress up

    The End Of Winter

     | 5,352 views

    When you are going through the winter of your soul you can do three things to make it through. 1. Fix your eyes on Jesus 2. Endure to the end 3. Think about the joy that is ahead

    “The End of Winter” When I was growing up in northern Minnesota, January and February were the coldest months of the year. February was the hardest month for most of us. Christmas was long past and too quickly forgotten. The New Year’s parties, with the laughter, had long since faded into ...read more

    Restoring Responsibility Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Dec 1, 2007
    based on 44 ratings
     | 10,043 views

    Many people think all that’s involved in being a Christian is walking an aisle or praying a prayer. That might be how God called you to salvation, but that’s not the end of it. Responsibilities come with being a Christian.

    1. The responsible example of giving 2. The responsible location of giving 3. The responsible attitude of giving 4. The responsible abundance of giving 5. The responsible priority of giving EZRA 2:68-70 In his book, The Quest For Character, Chuck Swindoll tells about a terrible thing that ...read more

     | 8,005 views

    Psalms 139:17 tells us, "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them." I list several ways in which God thinks about us.

    As we enter into the thanksgiving season I want to take time to thank Our Heavenly Father for all He does. Life is too short to list all the blessings He has bestowed upon me.In fact, I don’t have enough ink or paper to write them all down. So I just want to share why I am thankful that God thinks ...read more

    Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 3, 2003
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,323 views

    THis message will help us to think critically about marriage- why marriage is to be between one woman and one man, for a lifetime. As society’s definitions change, the Christian idea of marriage needs to be more definite than ever.

    “Mary and Joseph and the Case for Marriage” Matthew 1:18-25 One of my favorite radio programs, when I get the chance to listen to it, is the Prairie Home Companion, In one episode Garrison Keillor tells the fanciful tale of John Tollefson. John leaves Minnesota, moves to New ...read more

    Often we think of our strength, ability and education. We boast of our heritage and many other things. What about God and His role in our Life. Don't forget the grace of God.
