    The Lord has his family; five words from the Ten Commandments describe the major characteristics of this family -- this one is STRONG

    The Lord’s family is our focus this month as we take a look at five words that describe the character and function of a church. Last week’s word was loyalty, and we discovered that a loyal member of God’s family (God’s church family) is one who gives unguarded worship to only God; he has no other ...read more

    This sermon illustrates the truth of the power of God to change that which seems unchangeable to us - be it a person or situation.

    As I’ve mentioned to you I’ve been spending some time in reading/thinking through Kings/Chronicles. In 2 Kings 2 I was struck by a very simple & straightforward incident. It is not hard to understand. You do not need to know Hebrew to discover its meaning. It is a short quick episode in life of ...read more

    Our text identifies that not only did the people of Israel have some fears in the Old Testament, we find some of the same fears in the New Testament. Let’s not stop there, but we can trace some of the same fears in our day and age. We are reminded in ou

    Easter

     | 18,525 views

    I want to try and show us today that the word “Easter” has nothing at all to do with the resurrection of Jesus, in fact Easter is another word for the pagan goddess [ASHTEROTH] that we read about in the O.T.

    ACTS. 12:1-4 EASTER 3-22-08 Well as we all know tomorrow is the Sunday that we recognize the “resurrection” of our wonderful Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ, let me say that most people the world over refer to this day as “Easter”. I want ...read more

    Thanksgiving Turns Us Inside Out Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008
     | 3,053 views

    When our mind is set up on the things of the Spirit, we will be “outward focused.” When our mind is set upon the things of the flesh, we re “inward focused.” Thanksgiving directs our attention toward God.

    1. Review of Inside Out a. We are selfish, self-centered and self-absorbed. b. We turn to meeting our own needs and our own wants all too easily. c. God doesn’t want us to be that way. i. How do I know that? Because that is what is at the core of what we call sin – self. ii. If you think about this ...read more
