For The Love Of Money?

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jul 29, 2019

Ever wonder at what line a Christian crosses that makes money a trap and sin in their spiritual walk with Jesus? In this sermon I am going to outline a basic truth: putting trust in money and wealth and not God is a sin.

For the Love of Money? 1 Timothy 6:6-19 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines money as a “medium of exchange” for goods and/or services.

Doing The Right Thing

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Aug 25, 2019

Why do some people seem to have more in, from and through their relationship with God? Because they trust in God’s capabilities more than their capabilities and they practice the faith and the self discipline of the word until!

Galatians 5:22-23 MSG But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity.

The Attitude Of The Heart

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Nov 24, 2019

It’s in those times of trial, we are still to be thankful! The times we experience in the valleys of life, when we feel like all we have to hang onto is God. Those are the times we should realize the only thing we have ever had to hang onto is God!

The Attitude of the Heart Illus. From a sermon of Johnny Creasong’s Some people are just impossible to please.... A large dog walks into a butcher shop carrying a purse in its mouth. He puts the purse down and sits in front of the meat case. “What is it, boy?" the butcher jokingly asks. ...read more

Workers And Bosses

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019

Most of us are pretty good at knowing how to behave at church. But how does Christian faith apply in your workplace. The Apostle Paul gives some real wisdom for us in his letter to the Ephesians.

Imagine with me that we aren’t in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, but in the Greek city of Ephesus. And it’s not this morning. It’s the first century. And the routine of going to church is very different. There is no church building. We come to church in a house, the home of one of the few ...read more

Overcoming Envy

Contributed by Hylton Davidson on Jan 22, 2020

We are fascinated with how other people look, act, talk and live, what they wear, what they do and what they have. There isn’t anything wrong with our observations, but it becomes a problem when we resent them for who they are, what they have and what they can do.

Worshipping From The Heart Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Dec 14, 2017

Worship flows out of our revelation of God, our experiences in God, and our gratitude for His goodness. These matters must be addressed when we seek to enhance our worship experience. Otherwise the experience can become artificial and contrived.

01.22.17 Intro How do we move into a higher level of worship—in our personal lives and corporately as a church? Answering that question is more complex that you might think. But it is extremely important to find answers to the question. If I were to ask for a show of hands this morning, how many ...read more
