     | 8,649 views

    Paul gives clear instruction to teach us how to be free from worry and wrapped in the blanket of God's peace. If we want wholeness or victory and advance in our spiritual life it begins and is governed by our thought life.

    Intro: David Jeremiah gave a list of how not to have joy and peace. In his book on joy he said I guarantee that if you follow these guidelines you will have unhappiness. 1) Make little things bother you: don’t just let them, make them. 2) Lose your perspective of things, and keep it ...read more

    Your image may allow you to start well, but only your integrity will allow you to finish well.

    Some years ago a remarkable picture was exhibited in London. As you looked at it from a distance, you seemed to see a monk engaged in prayer, his hands clasped, his head bowed. As you came nearer, however, and examined the painting more closely, you saw that in reality he was squeezing a lemon into ...read more

    Going through some valleys with His protection

    Psalm 23: The clock is my dictator, I shall not rest. It makes me lie down only when exhausted. It leads me into deep depression, it hounds my soul.

    The purpose of this message is to help us see that we don’t want to put God or our ministry in a box and to prepare us for what God just might want to do through us in the future.

    BREAKING OUT OF THE BOX Acts 11:1-18 INTRODUCTION: A. How should we go about ministry and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ? 1. Most people who are Christians would have an answer to that question 2. The answers, for the most part would probably be predictable a. If I had the ...read more

    Horns Or Halos?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 31, 2014
     | 4,401 views

    Being a Christian doesn’t mean we’re actually acting like a Christian. At work, at home, in our marriage, with our kids, with the needy – do they perceive us as having Halos or Horns?

    HORNS OR HALOS? Deut. 30:19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: A butcher joke 1. Bubba walks into ‘Hal Mitchum Butchers’, goes over to Hal and says, "So, Hal, I hear that you’re something of a betting man." "Yes," replies Hal. 2. "Well," says Bubba, "You’re a tall man, so I bet ...read more

    Real Love (2) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 5/26/2013 Do you know how Jesus said that his disciples will be recognized throughout the world?

     | 5,365 views

    Many people settle for the cloak of respectable religion. They claim to believe what everyone else believes – no more and no less. But Jesus came to call us into a growing relationship with him.

     | 6,613 views

    Those who are disabled can challenge believers to be more authentic in their Christian faith and love. This message shows how a blind man was able to challenge the disciples and a crowd of people who were following Jesus.

    My family attended two Baptist churches in Danville that were unusually, yet refreshingly, filled with a love for those who are disabled. We saw the deaf, for which a sign language interpreter was provided. We also saw those with some sort of mental handicap, and those with a wide range of physical ...read more
