  • All Christians Are Hypocrites Series

    Contributed by David Cambridge on May 10, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,311 views

    People often use this as excuse for not being a Christian or for leaving the church. This lesson examines the question and demonstrates that such a criticism cannot be used as an excuse.

    Answering Criticisms "All Christians Are Hypocrites" Introduction 1. This is quite a criticism that is often leveled against Christians for a variety of reasons by both unbelievers and believers alike. 2. We shall consider several aspects of this accusation. I. What Is A Hypocrite? A. ...read more

  • Jesus, The Ultimate Gift Giver

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 22, 2003
    based on 24 ratings
     | 6,606 views

    These gifts Jesus gave us we can never be duplicated; yet we can, in one form or another, give a toned down version of them back to God and even to our loved ones.

    Jesus, The Ultimate Gift Giver (topical) 1. WHAT CHILDREN HEAR I was reading the story of Jesus’ birth to my day-care children one morning. As usual, I stopped to see if they understood. "What do we call the three wise men?" I asked. "The three maggots," replied a bright 5-year-old. "What ...read more

    The myth we are going to look at today is "Giving Means Subtracting".

    INTRO: How many of us liked math when we were growing up? I remember in college, before being called into the ministry, I was going to get a math degree. But I realized I could not make it through Calculus 3. I just could not understand it. It’s like today living in a society that teaches us one ...read more

    GOD MOMENTS (EXODUS 13:1-10) INTRODUCTION: HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE AWESOME POWER OF TIME? OFTEN WE TAKE MOMENTS FOR GRANTED, BUT SOME MOMENTS CAN BE LIFE TRANSFORMING.

  • Something No Thief Can Steal

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 30, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 11,302 views

    Contrast the thieves on the crosses; from Jesus they had, or could have had, salvation, assurance, companionship, things which no thief can steal.

    The scene was one of striking and even bitter contrast. While three men were being hauled off to their deaths, one of them was far different from the other two. Two of these hapless three were thieves, and as thieves they had lived by the law of the thief: namely, easy come, easy go. If you take ...read more

    Luke 20: 20 – 26 So, There Actually Are Stupid Questions 20 So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor. 21 Then they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, we know ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,305 views

    Halloween is an opportunity to share Jesus in a very unique way. We must re-define Halloween just as Easter and Christmas was re-defined.

    Halloween, An Evangelistic Opportunity Ephesians 5:1-13 Intro: Late one dark night, two men were walking home after a party. They were tired and desperate to get home, so they decided to take a shortcut through a cemetery. They got to about the middle of the graveyard, and they were startled and ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,145 views

    What is the Psalmist talking about when he said that Israel limited the, “Holy One of Israel”?

    He is saying that God wanted to do many great things for Israel, but the choices that they made in their lives limited the Lord from doing those things. Illus: Remember how as a child, before Christmas came our parents started telling us to do certain things and if we didn’t, SANTA CLAUS WAS NOT ...read more

  • A Crazy Psong Series

     | 10,440 views

    God uses crazy when crazy is all He's got!

    What do you do when life gets crazy? When you are worn out, tired, discouraged, when things have not gone well, when you are, if not at the end of your rope, pretty close to the end – what do you do? I have confessed this before, even though people don’t always believe me – I ...read more

  • Straight Outta Context: Philippians 4:13 Series

    Contributed by Paul Basehore on Sep 16, 2015
     | 10,732 views

    Philippians 4:13 does not say that we can literally do anything. What it does say, though, is that a super-powered God will willingly and repeatedly share His strength with us when things get difficult.

    Superheroes are a multi-million dollar enterprise. Superhero movies have more than 13 billion dollars in revenue since 1978 -- and that’s just the movies. Comic book sales in 2015 alone have reached 334 million dollars -- and the year’s not even done yet! In addition, the numbers I just ...read more

  • The Will Of God, Coke And Honour. Series

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Sep 21, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,132 views

    Have you ever thought I wonder what the will of God is for my life? It could be honouring (that’s New Zealand-English, not a spelling mistake) others so that they too will do the will of God. This is about a culture of honour.

    In this time in history the basic desires, the basic drives of the human being are pretty much the same as they have been for all of history. In John’s first letter of three which incidentally I’m working through a series on, we get this directive from this great Apostle, who walked along side ...read more

  • Satan Uses Religion

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Aug 30, 2022
     | 1,843 views

    Satan uses hypocrisy, fratricide, and self righteousness to misdirect and misfocus the Christian (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

    HoHum: Does Satan go to church? I know he does. Yes, the spiritual forces of evil are here but mostly they work through people. Imagine Simon Peter’s surprise when this happened: “Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me; you do not have in mind the ...read more
