Train Up A Child

Contributed by Rodney Burton on May 23, 2009

In this Mother’s Day sermon, we view the concept of TRAIN up a child. What exactly goes into that process?

Once here it is translated as train or train up. The other 4 times it is translated as dedicate. This is the Hebrew word used to ...read more

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 12, 2003

We should seek to harness the tongue because: (1) It has great power to do good and evil (2) Our speech reveals our heart (3) It glorifies God.

In last week’s message, I gave four reasons why it can be a spiritually beneficial practice for us to make and keep resolutions. They stimulate us to think about what it means to be godly; what it means to be conformed to the image of Christ. They express our faith in God’s promises to transform ...read more

Sharing Your Money Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Aug 24, 2005

I used to think that teaching what God says about giving threaten people. But I’m finding that when people start applying these truths, it’s really not threatening, but thrilling. It’s not a drudgery; it’s a delight.

Maybe you’ve put something in the basket and then wondered, “What did I just do. I want to go get it back!” For sure, we’re glad that a camera is not fixed on us when we give. We’re even more glad that no one can read our thoughts when we give. Giving. When I teach in a clear, direct, pointed ...read more

In Proverbs 21:21-24 Solomon tackles once again the importance of how we live. All of us are living a life that is on a path, either to righteousness and kindness, which is the path of wisdom and what God desires, or we take a path toward evil and are separated from God.

Toughen Up

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jan 6, 2025

Proverbs 24:10 The message Bible says, if you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place. The intent of that verse is not to condemn us for being weak, but to exhort to toughen up, to stir us up to the action of building ourselves up in the Lord.
