    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,014 views

    How do we get wisdom, and once we’ve got it, how do we show in our lives that we have it?

    We’ve seen, over the past few weeks, the importance of wisdom for life. Godly wisdom will lead us along paths that lead to life. We’ve also seen that the alternative to following God’s wisdom, choosing to live foolishly in God’s world, is to risk our lives. Well clearly it’s better to be wise ...read more

    Ephesians 5:15-18 – Filled to the Brim (NOTE: This is a revamp of a previous message of mine called "Would You Like a Refill?", with (I think) a better understanding of the topic. It’s also blatantly Wesleyan/Arminian.) Author Jamie Buckingham once visited a dam on the Columbia River. He’d ...read more

    Contributed by Johann Neethling on Feb 14, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,536 views

    The attitude of gratitude is a conscious choice the Believer makes to the greatest event our world has known - the death and resurrection of Christ. That attitude enables us to live as overcomers irrespective of our circumstances.

    LET THE ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE ELEVATE YOUR ALTITUDE Philippians 4:4-13 1. The cartoon by Mike Baldwin on the cover of your bulletin this morning (cartoon shows a long line of people at the "Complaints" window and none at the "Gratitude" window)is an apt description of and sad commentary on the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,551 views

    So many times, we look at the end result of our purpose rather than the journey we must travel to accomplish that purpose. We must constantly give God our best so that He can use that best for His Plan, Purpose and Promise.

    INTRODUCTION A. GOD’S ENVISIONED VISION FOR NHBC! As I strive to become who God desires me to be, I learn more of what Paul meant when he said, “we live by faith and not by sight”. And as a church, we also find ourselves striving to become who God has envisioned us to be. I am still not 100% ...read more

    S I N -- it is a word we don’t like to use anymore in our churches.

    The “S” Word There is a three letter word that we don’t like to say in churches. The rest of the world uses this word all the time, but we don’t. It makes Christians feel uncomfortable. It makes us feel dirty. Maybe ashamed. Or embarrassed. The word is S – I – N. Sin! Yep, some of you ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,204 views

    We should know that as a Christian that we are all running a race that we can all win, so why are we settling for second and why are some of us settling for 3rd when we all run and are able to receive the prize.

    Did God Tell You To Stop Running? Mark 10:17-31 17 ¶ And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, ...read more

He had arrived a bit early so he decided to finish a letter he was writing and get it in the mail. He finished the ...read more
