    Give Thanks

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 19, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,027 views

    We cannot give thanks FOR all circumstances but we can IN all circumstances. God has a purpose in every storm, shipwreck, tragedy, disease, or whatever that comes upon His children. Giving thanks to God is meant for our good; it enriches our life.

    Paul was a man who suffered a great deal of pain and yet wrote, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (I Thess 5: 16-18). For Paul to give us such an advice is amazing. • It shows that a Christian can give thanks ...read more

     | 5,490 views

    Giving priority to the work of evangelism results in untold blessings.

    Over the years I’ve had the privilege to be involved in pastoring, one of the most amazing things I have had the privilege to witness is to see the difference that a newborn baby can make in the lives of people. I have seen, for example, parents who did not think their son’s wife was worthy of him, ...read more

    INTRODUCTION • PC VIDEO CLIP SEABISCUIT • SLIDE #1 • As we continue examining how to deal with some of the dark emotions we face in life, today we will look at another emotion that can cause a lot of problems if we do not learn to cope with it. • The issue of bitterness is something that has ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 44 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,870 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Here we see the last test of Joseph toward his brothers. After this we see that Joseph will reveal himself to his brothers but ...read more

    In a ‘slow motion moment’, black and white turns to living color! The boring brilliant! The mundane becomes magnificent!

    O – ordinary R – routine D – dull I – inferior N – normal A – average R – repetitive Y – yawn These words, along with a few others of like kind, could be used to describe an evening with the shepherds. Nothing ‘too much’ happened out in the fields while the shepherds kept watch. There may ...read more

    Have Salt In Yourselves

    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,920 views

    Pentecost 19(B) - Jesus encourages: "Have salt in yourselves!" Believers do this when they put aside all jealousy and pride and are filled with the word of God.

    “HAVE SALT IN YOURSELVES” (Outline) September 21, 2008 -- PENTECOST 19 -- Mark 9:38-50 INTRO: Salt is not as valuable today as it was during the time of Jesus. Salt can be purchased very cheaply. During the time of Jesus salt was used as currency. Soldiers were paid with money in order ...read more

    Focus On Jesus Series

    based on 9 ratings
     | 16,663 views

    We are to direct people’s attention to Jesus. We have faith in the Person of Jesus, not faith in ’faith’ or our efforts. The more you know Him, the stronger your faith.

    It is not an everyday affair that you see a miracle. These men just did and they were shocked. • The people stared at Peter and John as if they were the ones who made this man walked (v.12). • Peter directed the people’s attention to JESUS. He did not explain much about the miracle. Acts 3:16 By ...read more

    Like an unexpectedly huge mustard plant, the kingdom will grow and comfort, in unexpected ways.

    Like Malformed Mustard Mark 4:30-32 The kingdom of God is like a VW Beetle. It is one of the smallest cars you will ever see. It is not very comfortable or powerful. It is not very stylish or practical. It is very cheap and not impressive in any way. There is no status with owning one. And yet, ...read more

    God has called us to be constantly fanning the spiritual flames inside us, and it is up to us to train ourselves to make the Spiritual Disciplines part of our routine, or lifestyle.

    Spiritual Disciplines Living as a Worshiper As we progress in the Spiritual Disciplines, it is important to note that no act of spiritual growth happens unless we truly “Draw Near to God”. I think this is important to note because in the midst of the all the struggles and strife we face today, God ...read more

    based on 7 ratings

    There is no way to become like Jesus without the willingness to serve. This does not mean that you let others control what you do, but rather that your actions are controlled by the desire to serve God and others.

    Waiting for Jesus return can make people grow complacent about the fact that He IS indeed coming back, and it really will be soon.

    Ready and Waiting? by Steve Keeler Matthew 25:1-13 Jesus is telling a story about ten virgins who are like bridesmaids at a wedding. In order to make sense of Jesus' story, we need to understand a bit about Jewish wedding customs. Traditionally, the groom would leave from his house and travel, ...read more
