    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,134 views

    An indepth look at what it means to be the body of Christ. If He is the head of the body, the foundation of the kingdom, then we are simply body parts, cells, bricks. What does it mean to be an armpit?

    ORGANIZATION VS. ORGANISM “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church…” Colossians 1: 17-18a Indeed, Babel has had its effect throughout history. We can ...read more

    Where is your trust? In your wealth and things, or in God?

    Please open your Bibles to Proverbs 18:10-11: The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it an unscalable wall. It was a beautiful morning, a light breeze coming off the waters. The ...read more

    Individual Purpose Vs. Corporate Purpose

    Contributed by Steven Spillman on May 1, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,230 views

    Doesn’t God have a purpose for mankind in general or for the church as a whole? Isn’t focusing on individual purpose a little self-serving? Aren’t we pushing individualism at the expense of the Body of Christ?

    Up to this point, Purpose Weekly has focused on individual purpose. But what about corporate purpose? Doesn’t God have a purpose for mankind in general or for the church as a whole? Isn’t focusing on individual purpose a little self-serving? Aren’t we pushing individualism at the expense of the ...read more

    God's Goals Vs Satan's Goals

    Contributed by David Wilson on Sep 16, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,671 views

    This sermon is a contrast between God's goals for the believer and the church and Satan's goals for individuals. God wants to make us like Christ, Satan wants to slowly destroy us.

    The Two Goals of the Church: 1) Reach people for Christ. 2) Grow people in Christ. Biblical basis: Matthew 28:18-20 (called the Great Commission) God's goal for You: To work in all things for our good in order to conform us to the image of his Son, Jesus Christ, Biblical basis: Romans ...read more

    God's Grief Vs. Man's Grief Series

    Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on May 26, 2009
    based on 67 ratings
     | 20,164 views

    God’s grief is not only the response of his heart to the arrows of pain that wound us. God himself is wounded by the separation caused by death. Death interrupts God’s own conversation with his child. When it comes to enduring pain, God asks nothing of us

    We come here today pay our respect to ( ), and to comfort members of the family and friends. We belong to a larger family, the family of believers in Jesus Christ, the conqueror of death. And this is the hour when our belief in Him is tested. This is the moment when our declared personal ...read more

    When Jesus talk about the vine in John 15, what point is he trying to get across to his disciples, and us today?

    (during this message, although I use the example of the vine like mentioned by Jesus in John 15, I intersect with an example of a tree, the stem(trunk), branch, and fruit.) Text: Galatians 5:22-23 & John 15:1-9 (ESV) This morning let’s answer five questions about John 15:1-9. #1 Who is ...read more

    Ant Hill Vs. Mole Hill

     | 9,202 views

    Sometime in life we make a big deal out of small things. Ant hills are small and isolated, moles tear up and entire yard with tunnels underground and cause massive damage. Sometimes we need to sit back and ask ourselves , is this a big deal?

    The Ant , The Mole Hill During the Civil War, General Robert E. Lee had a shortage of soldiers. His army could be devastated if the Union army discovered this weakness. Since he could not increase the number of soldiers, he decided he could make his army look larger than it actually was. ...read more

    Manipulation By Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 26, 2016
     | 5,832 views

    Manipulation is a dishonest method to control others, get our way, or make others think an idea was theirs; it stands in contrast to making honest straightforward requests. Manipulation by guilt is perhaps the most common form of manipulation.

    Manipulation by Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests (topical) 1. A lot of persuasion — even in church — can be based upon emotion and a lack of logic. “Pastor Smith was winding up his sermon about the dangers of alcohol and the need for temperance. He shouted, 'If I had all the ...read more

    A Shorter List; 30 Vs 2 Series

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Aug 30, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,400 views

    In Romans 12:9-21, Paul gives us an overwhelming list of 30 encouragments. However, they can be slimmed down to just two overarching themes: self-sacrificial love and overcome evil with good. We also see how these things point us to Jesus.

    Our text from Romans this morning is quite challenging. Paul writes to encourage God’s people to live in their in the calling, but his words are overwhelming to us. “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil. Hold fast to what is good. Love one another…be fervent in spirit…rejoice in hope, be ...read more
