The Secret Of Joy In The Lord: "because Of Christ"

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jun 20, 2025

The secret to joy in the Lord lies in two truths: living out the purpose for which Jesus died—so that we may enjoy abundant life—and making the pursuit of knowing Jesus our highest priority

A Simple And Reproducible Truth

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 22, 2014

The teaching of Jesus is not complicated. Love God and love others. We do this by serving people and sharing the Good News of Jesus with them. And Obey God. We do this by submitting to the authority of Jesus through prayer and living out His Will, His purpose and priorities.

Last week we discussed that the core of Jesus teaching is this truth, He must be at the center of all we do and think. Last Sunday we discussed the priorities of Jesus. His two priorities are to love God and others and to obey God. These are His priorities so they must be the priorities of ...read more

"Consider Your Ways” Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 7, 2024

Today many believers have their priorities in life mixed up just like in Haggai’s day, which will rob them of personal satisfaction and hinder the flow of God’s blessings in their lives just like it did the Israelites in Haggai’s day.

Sermon – “Consider Your Ways” Scripture Text: Haggai Chapter 1-15 Introduction: Let me share a story with you about some church people… It’s about 4 people in the church whose names were Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

Fit For The Kingdom

Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Jun 30, 2005

Learning to fold a piece of paper into a square blindfolded requires the same three things as Jesus requires of us to be fit for the kingdom of God: Self-denying devotion to the task, making it an absolute priority and giving it your undivided attention.

Fit For The Kingdom / Luke 9: 51-62 Intro: Challenge – What if God said, “You must be able to fold a piece of paper into a perfect square while blindfolded to be fit for the kingdom of God?” IMPOSSIBLE? – what would I have to do to learn how to do that?

Playing The Fool Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 1, 2001

Words do hurt when they come from our unresolved anger. That anger is about our own issues, it requires accountability when it hurts others, it separates us from God when it is deliberate. Reconciliation is a priority.

Words have power. The things we say to one another have power. Kids may deal with smart-mouths in the schoolyard by chanting, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” But that’s rubbish! Don’t you believe it. Names do hurt. Words hurt. The things we say to each ...read more

Building Strong Foundations Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 9, 2009

The Holy Spirit does not work through a vacuum but through believers, the body of Christ. The first church set us a good example: Build on the foundation of God’s Word, build a strong fellowship, and make prayer a priority.

Something the apostles have not done before. • But it looks like a smooth start. ...read more

Resistance Resistant

Contributed by Tim Smith on Mar 9, 2009
