     | 3,460 views

    Essential King Jesus in this passage is: Jesus distastes hypocrisy. May we honestly and prayerfully self-examine and we make changes to stomp out the hypocrisy in our minds, emotions, and bodies. We are not perfect, but on purpose hypocrisy has no place in our walk with Jesus.

    We need a place to go, where Jesus strengthens our faith - that place is his Word.

  • Throw The First Stone

    Contributed by Samuel M on Oct 17, 2024
     | 770 views

    Jesus had every right and authority to throw the first stone, but he never chose to throw the first throne. It was a decision he chose to take – never to throw the stone or the first stone. Love was the decision he chose to take.

    But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” John 8:6-7 When the woman was caught in the act of adultery ...read more

    based on 96 ratings
     | 24,992 views

    The difference between living and existing can often be traced to one’s philosophy of life. The God-given philosophy of life involves many aspects, but today I’d like to summarize part of that philosphy through three "Remember" statements.

    Enthusiastic Living (Ecclesiastes 9:7-18) Intro 1. Kids pretend things to take away boredom….. (1) We’d walk to the store pretending we are trying to lose Martians who were following us (2) Kids who need medical treatments often try to make games of things… 2. As we age, we tend to lose ...read more

  • Breaking The Mold

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Sep 5, 2011
     | 11,240 views

    Today’s teaching relates to how we function in relationship to God; what He intended versus the current reality. Some people have a healthy relationship toward God while other people are very dysfunctional.

    Breaking the Mold Scripture / Text: Exodus 32:1-29 (NLT) Browsing the web, I came across the top three signs of a dysfunctional family: • Family discussions usually begin with, "Put the gun down." • Bikers next door always complain about the noise • Your mom threatens, “Eat your brussel sprouts, ...read more

     | 7,335 views

    The success or failure of life depends to a very large degree on how we deal with these mountains. I want to talk with you about three different ways people deal with their mountains.

  • Praiseworthy Pride Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021
     | 1,422 views

    A legitimate pride is a completely personal matter, and does not depend upon anyone else. It is a matter of personal satisfaction in accomplishing something that is praiseworthy.

    One of the most common paradoxes of history is the paradox of succeeding through failure. Jesus failed to turn Israel from her sins, and they crucified Him, but He thereby succeeded in paying the penalty for their sin, and also for the sins of the world. By descending into the valley of failure, ...read more
