    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 30, 2009
    based on 54 ratings
     | 27,346 views

    God’s wisdom gives peace but the churches to which James wrote were experiencing chronic hostility & sharp confrontations. They fought, coveted, quarreled & condemned others to obtain their desires. They were dominated by self-will

    JAMES 4: 1-5 THE PASSION OF SELF-GRATIFICATION [Romans 7:14-25] Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy wrote of a man who was dominated by the driving desire for self-gratification. To possess land was his highest pleasure. Someone promised him that he could own all of the land he could walk around ...read more

    Being ready for the return of Christ. The parables of Jesus in Matthew 25 give us a model for being ready. First Sunday of Advent, Year B

    It’s hard to believe that Christmas season is upon us again. The craziness has begun. I was reading in the paper the other day that a Wal-Mart employee out in New York was killed by injuries sustained while trying to prevent a mob from entering the store at 5 am the Friday after Christmas.

    How to control our anger

    CONTROLLING ANGER Sermon Number 4 January 17, 2010 Today is the big game. I have some concerns about today’s game for a couple of reasons.

    based on 15 ratings
     | 11,825 views

    When Satan comes against God’s people, he doesn’t use a rule book. The Bible describes him as the father of lies. He is a liar. So why would we expect a liar to fight fair? In our passage today, we can see four dirty tricks of the enemy.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ Believe it or not, I used to be pretty rough as a kid. We moved around a lot. And one of the things that can happen when you move a lot is you can get in a lot of fights. People want to see what the new kid is all about. They want to see how he fits in. So ...read more

    The story of the prodigal son is presented as an example of repentance.

    Forgive Me For I Have Sinned Luke 15:11-32 Introduction: At some time in the distant past, someone decided to divide a circle into 360 equal parts and call them “degrees.” Terminology related to the circle has wormed its way into our language.

    The Court With No Appeal Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,318 views

    This court didn’t have appeal; nothing attactive about it. Although Jesus was innocent of all their accusations, they fabricated a case against Him so they could put Him away.

    THE COURT WITH NO APPEAL (John 18:19-24) The Sanhedrin that tried Jesus was one sided. In our court today, someone may appeal from a lower to a higher court for a new hearing if he was falsely accused. But the Sanhedrin was different. This council had no appeal, meaning, nothing attractive or ...read more

    To be a Christian requires enduring hardship like a good soldier.

    A Good Soldier Adapted from T. Michael Crews 2 Tim.2:3-4 “One aspect of the Christian life is that it is a warfare against the forces of evil.” (P399 Expositors Bible Commentary vol. 11) I remember when I was a small boy that I was fascinated with soldiers. I played with ...read more

    As we examine Acts 2:42-47, we notice that we exist for five purposes.

    Scripture The Romans celebrated January 1st as a general holiday. Sacrifices were made to the two-faced god, Janus, who was able to look both ways at once. Janus symbolized change and transition, such as the progression of the past to the future. January 1st was a holiday on which gifts and visits ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,262 views

    What is your attitude when you pray? Before Jesus tells us how to pray, He tells us how not to pray.

    “The highest activity of the human soul.” That’s what the great expository preacher Martyn Lloyd-Jones said about prayer. Prayer is one of the most important things we will ever do in our relationship with the Lord. It is so essential to who we are as Christians that one commentator compared it ...read more

    Worship is our response to who God is and the redemptive act He has done for us through Jesus Christ. Worship was the bone of contention in the heavenlies and so is today in many churches. But the sole purpose of song & music was to worship God. Each one

    Opening illustration: Play the ‘Worship Haters’ video Introduction: The scripture passage is pact with exuberance and passionate worship.
