    Discontented Series

    Contributed by Rick Stacy on Dec 2, 2014
     | 5,063 views

    Most people will agree in principle that the one who gives is more blessed than the one who receives. But they still struggle with giving – often because they can’t give. They have too many bills and are struggling to get by.

    Satisfied. Last Sunday I began a series of messages called “Satisfied.” that is about money – except it’s not really about money. It’s about life. In that message I pointed out three lies that sounded like truths and three truths that sounded like lies. Three lies The ...read more

    We can apply this principle of diligence to our spiritual lives, not simply our jobs. If we become lax or idle in our pursuit of God (worship, prayer, service, etc.), we will find ourselves missing God’s will.

    Too Busy to Work 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12 6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle ...read more

    We know we should love God and love others, but how should we love others? There are several verses commanding us to love one another, and there is no mistaking how we should love when practicing the principles of God's Word.

    ONE ANOTHER God gave us one another for a purpose… We are the Body of Christ in this world to stir one another up, build one another up, encourage one another, and most certainly to love one another. In the Old Testament, God gave us His Word for living a life with full purpose. Love ...read more

     | 9,864 views

    We live in a world that does not value purity, for the Christian, we need all help we can get to maintain a semblance of purity. Psalm 119:9-16 offers us some help if we are committed enough to follow the principles.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • We live in a time when it is difficult to live a life of purity. Our society glorifies immorality. Our society applauds and rewards bad behavior. • When you look at the movies that are produced today, the music produced today, we can see why society is ...read more

    In Genesis 24, we read the story of the servant's search for a wife for Isaac. There are historical incidentals here that don't apply to us today. But there are timeless principles that apply to discerning and achieving our goals, under the hand of God.

     | 11,809 views

    Unity we hear about, we talk about it, but without it we will never achieve by ourselves what can be achieved through it. It takes unity to possess our inheritance. This sermon looks at important principles in possessing our promises.

    THE POWER OF UNITY Joshua 1:12-16 And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying,” Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, ‘The LORD your God is giving you rest and is giving you this land.’ “Your wives, your little ...read more

    Many Christians today believe the Second Commandment is outdated and maybe even irrelevant for believers today. But if we take a closer look at the principle behind the commandment, we will find most of us engage in this sin more often than we think.

    The Sin of Idolatry Last week, elder Jermaine preached the first sermon in our new series dedicated to the Ten Commandments. His sermon dealt with the First Commandment in which God makes it clear that we are to have no other gods before OR even besides Him; and today, we’re going to take a ...read more
