    God does not see as man sees. He placed high premium on broken things. He prefers to deal and bless only things and people that are broken. However, when compared to man, the gap is huge. Man prefers things that are not broken and places value on such. On

    BROKENNESS – WHAT GOD DESIRE IN HIS CHILDREN Text: Psa.34:18, 51:17, Introduction: God placed high value on broken things. He is not like men who placed no worth on broken things such as broken plates, mirrors, furniture, and are treated as trash or things meant for the dung hill. Some ...read more

    Modern-Day Legalism (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Sep 23, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,392 views

    We have seen how legalism in Paul’s day added works to salvation, but that is largely not what modern-day legalism is in the church now. Legalism for us applies in the area of how we perceive our sanctification and how we portray our spirituality to others.

    INTRO: I need to explain what is going on with the next couple of messages. We have dipped our toe in the water of legalism as it has been addressed in the book of Galatians so far. I am going to take a couple messages and jump into the entire pool of what legalism looks like for us today. We ...read more

    As we reopen churches from Covid 19 we will see that life has changed and that opinions wildly differ on the issues. Romans 14 deals with similar food fights that have erupted in the church and how to solve them

    The difference between us this is a serious message today about something that could become a serious problem. Have you ever been involved in a food fight? These are the kind of things that spontaneously break out in cafeterias or at summer camp and it’s usually for fun. But in the Bible a food ...read more

    Gray Is Not A Primary Color

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Aug 14, 2002
    based on 45 ratings
     | 3,673 views

    We must not judge a weaker brother on "gray areas". We need to distinguish between convictions and conveniences (preferences).

    There are some things that we must take a stand on. These are our convictions. Things that we would be willing to die for (Salvation is by grace alone through faith; the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God, Jesus Christ was born of a Virgin, those who reject Christ as Saviour will ...read more

    based on 20 ratings
     | 67,370 views

    Idolatry is preferring something above God. God doesn’t just want to be added to your list of preferences and activities. He demands that He is your love, your greatest desire, the one who occupies your thoughts and the one you seek to please above all.

    Politics is a blood sport. Some go on principle and naively believe that others will see the logic and fairness of their position while other politicians spin their opponents position and prognosticate to vilify their opponent and scare the electorate that their opponent’s position will result in ...read more

    Worship Wars

    Contributed by Anonymous Contributor on Sep 5, 2006

    This sermon attempts to address some of the divide in our church over worship music by recognizing the focus is not on our preference but on God.

    In the last month or so I have heard some interesting comments. I’ve heard, “we don’t sing enough of the old hymns,” or “I don’t like the new music,” and I have also heard “we are singing too many hymns,” or “we sing songs too slow.” Interesting isn’t it? Whenever people are involved there are ...read more
