    What happens in the heart of a Christian when being a Christian means taking a financial loss? How do we decide?

    Psalm 15 “LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue … “Who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his ...read more

    Parting The Hoof And Chewing The Cud

    Contributed by James May on Apr 7, 2004
    based on 31 ratings
     | 8,760 views

    The Old Testament Laws found in Leviticus still have relevance in our lives today. God still has laws that govern who is acceptable as profitable servants.

    PARTING THE HOOF AND CHEWING THE CUD Leviticus 11:2-4 For some people the only exercise they ever get is when they are jumping to conclusions, running off at the mouth, putting their two cents worth in, raising cane, and I don’t mean sugar cane, walking all over someone, lifting themselves up on ...read more

    Message for a Pastor appreciation service. What the members of the congregation need to do in order to profit the benefits God has for them. Are you under the influence of the Holy Ghost.

    “Under the Influence” By Elder Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Matthew 8:9 When I think of the phrase “Under the Influence” my mind goes to two (2) different aspects that we normally associate with that phrase. The first aspect we automatically think of is D.U.I., Which is driving under the ...read more

    There are many parallels between our relationship with our children and God’s relationship with His. We may gain much profit and insight by comparing these two relationships.

    And you fathers, do not provoke your children to anger: rather, bring them up in the training and exhortation of the Lord.(Ephesians 6:4) For this is the love of God -- that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome.(1 John 5:3) There are many parallels between ...read more

    The obstacle he had to overcome, in the case of the Corinthians may well have been the distrust they had for those who went about making profit from their message.

    Waffles and Spaghetti Romans 15:7 This morning I want to start a brand new series that I have called "Fireproof" - a title I borrowed from an awesome film on the circuit right now on relationships in general, and marriage in particular.

    Managing Money God's Way: Saving Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 19, 2022
     | 5,091 views

    What does the Bible have to say about saving money? Surprizingly, much! Using the tale of Joseph as the backdrop, we discover that saving money God's way is practical, planned, and profitable.

    Managing Money God’s Way: Saving Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 10/2/16 Last Sunday I began a short three-part series about Managing Money God’s Way. Like I said last week, the number one key when it comes to managing your money is acknowledging that it’s not your money—it’s ...read more

    Deny Ourselves? Take Up The Cross? Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Sep 27, 2011
     | 7,118 views

    This message is the sixth in a series that deals with some of the difficult sayings of Jesus. This message examines the meaning of denying yourself and taking up your cross.

    Sacrifice is a word that has the ability to send shivers down the spines of the majority of us. Of course Christians have reconciled themselves to the idea that this is a part of following Jesus. I would venture to say that our understanding of the concept of sacrifice is much different than ...read more

     | 1,177 views

    Job was a righteous and good man. He was a good steward of what God has given him. He mentioned his deeds of generosity in Job 31:16-23. His concerns for poor, needy, care of the fatherless and vulnerable. Great motivational passage.

    Text: Job 31:16-23 Theme: Almsgiving of Job Illustration: A preacher asked the congregation. What makes a good sermon? They said, “A good sermon should have a good beginning and a good ending, then have the two as closer as possible.” Introduction to the Book of Job: The book of Job has ...read more

    What Will You Gain? Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 11, 2023
     | 2,814 views

    There are two sharply contrasting philosophies of life. One is seen in the rich fool story. It is about going for what the world offers. The other philosophy of life is about going for what Christ offers. Our passage contrasts these two philosophies.

    What will you gain? Mark 8:34-38 The story is told of a rich farmer, his fields were particularly fruitful, so much so that there was not enough room to store everything. He tore down the barns and built new and bigger ones. After the new barns were built, he felt like he could sit back and ...read more

    Laying Up Treasures

    Contributed by Paul George on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,302 views

    A preoccupation with hoarding earthly treasure makes little practical sense. Eternal investments, investments in the kingdom of heaven, are far more profitable. They are certain, and the benefits long lasting. Earthly investments are short-lived.

    Laying up Treasures Matthew 6:19-34 The Lord Jesus told the disciples, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do ...read more

    How do you measure success? The world may measure success by profit, prosperity, or prestige. God measure success by our faithfulness. How faithful are you to God?

    Are you successful today? What measure do you use to measure success? The world may measure success by profit - how much are you earning? By prosperity - what do you own? By prestige - how high are you in the corporate ladder? How does God measure success? We’ll see from scriptures that God ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Mrs. Amanda Foye Jackson, who had suffered through two massive strokes and the loss of her son.

    In Biblical times, a person’s name revealed something about who he was or what she was intended to be. In the creation story, there is Adam, meaning earth, and Eve, meaning mother. Their names told you who they were and what they were intended to be. Abraham, father of nations; Isaac, laughter; ...read more
