     Introduction: Brethrens: to believe, now that one is in Christ, that one will not have problems in life: persecutions, trials, temptation, tribulation, testing, may be understandable-but that is naivety and ignorance. We need to add to our faith knowledge-[2 Peter 1:5-8] To believe ...read more

    We all want revival. However, are you ready to follow God’s route to revival? God never shows up as a reviving fire until He first reveals Himself as a refining fire!

    Elvis put it on everything . . . rings, necklaces, even his jet. It was more than the name of his band, it was his slogan. TCB is more than a slogan for us. It is our misson. This examination of our daily duties as priests will help you TCB!

    The Greatest Power Is Often Simple Patience Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 15, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,561 views

    Life outside of Christ, Paul says. It’s angry life. Its confrontational politics and caustic talk shows. It’s accusatory e-mails that appear to have been sent from a flamethrower. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with patience.

    Opening illustration: This past week I read about a first-grade teacher who was having a difficult day. It had rained that entire day and the children couldn’t go out for recess, so they got more and more restless and hyperactive as the day wore on. The teacher couldn’t wait for the bell to ring ...read more

    Money is a gift from God. It is put in our hands as a tool and as a test. So don’t love it, don’t live for it, don’t trust it and don’t hoard it.

    [I’ve taken the major pointers of this sermon from Rick Warren’s sermon on Setting Financial Goals - Growing through Goal Setting Part 2, May 26-27, 2007.] If you go around asking people “What is the greatest need you have?” a high chance the answer is money. • We spend so much of our lives ...read more
