     | 24,249 views

    How can I tell if money has become my "god?" What is the tell-tale sign of this kind of idolatry, and what can this idolatry do to me that Jesus is warning me against?

    (Comments before the scripture reading and prayer): This sermon series has been entitled “The Guardrails of Life” with the intention of exploring the guardrails God has set up for our lives to keep us from going off the road in our faith and crashing our lives and relationships. ...read more

    Almighty God Series

    It is not God's nature to be limited or weak. In removing all limitations of power, we arrive at the omnipotence of God, and we have access to that power to live effectively in an unholy world.

    In Handel’s Messiah, the famous “Hallelujah Chorus” quotes the Book of Revelation, proclaiming: “For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!” (19:6). Omnipotence means “able to do all.” God is all-powerful; He is unlimited. He can do all that He wills to do. ...read more

    If you want God to use you to build His Kingdom, pray things through; think things through; and then follow through.

    In the Christian Reader, Glynn Jensen, from Rome, NY, talks about a cold winter day when his entire family was snug in their warm house. Everyone that is, except for their six-year-old Jonathan, who insisted on playing out in the snow. As Glynn walked by an upstairs window, he noticed Jonathan had ...read more

    In Paul's letter to the Corinthian believers, he reminds them that the philosophy that they brought with them into the church was no longer the philosophy that they were to live by. There was wisdom in the cross.

    God’s Fools 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 (NLT) Intro: There is a story about a little girl who proudly wore a shiny cross on a chain around her neck. One day she was approached by a man who said to her, “Little girl, don’t you know that the cross Jesus died on wasn’t beautiful ...read more

    We are saved for good works as God's artwork, and the difference He makes in our lives must be seen.

    Sculptures have always amazed me. You have heard the story of the man who carved art out of logs using a chain saw. His specialty was carving the shape of an angry bear. He loved for people asked him how he did it. He would answer, “I just cut away everything that doesn’t look like an ...read more

    A Jealous God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 1, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,116 views

    God is “jealous” in the sense that He expects complete, exclusive devotion; not merely a partial, lukewarm, half-hearted religious observance. Worship belongs to God. He is worthy of worship and has a right to be “jealous” of it.

    The Bible clearly teaches that God is a jealous God. That doesn’t sit well with us; the very notion of the jealousy of God sounds offensive. We think of jealousy as an entirely negative quality--a sin. Yet God declares that He is jealous. God restricts allegiance to Himself alone: ...read more

    Christ has made us near, and that work is the most power factor in our lives today.

    (This sermon was preached with a pair of sunglasses sitting on the top of my head, reasons to be seen later in the sermon.) Every Church longs to see revival. I am not talking about a series of revival services. Those can bring about spiritual awakening, but seldom do. I’m talking about the ...read more

    These words carried the weight of the world and brought the savior of mankind. You cannot love the baby Jesus and not accept the risen savior. You cannot have one without the other. You cannot have peace, true peace without Jesus.

    The God of Peace Isaiah 9:6-9:7 Introduction- Isaiah 9:6-9:7 As you are turning there, I want you to know the story of Christmas never gets old.

    What does it mean to please God? How can we please God?

    Pleasing God . . . IT’S A PLEASURE Dr. Lewis Gregory 1. Parent-child Illustration: One of the unique features of the parent-child relationship is that children have a natural desire to please their parents.

    The Sovereignty Of God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 8, 2015
     | 9,287 views

    God’s the infinite Ruler of all; He is “running the show.” Nothing can prevent His predetermined plan. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Those who see God’s hand in everything can best leave everything in God’s hand.

    It’s been said, “How do you make God laugh? Tell Him your plans” (G.K. Chesterton). Our plans aren’t always in line with God’s. We may try to fight God’s will, but someone pointed out, “Your arms are too short to box with God” (J. W. Johnson). The ...read more

    Habakkuk wonders why God is slow in answering his prayers and why He delays in punishing Judah's evil. He is surprised that God will use the even more wicked Chaldeans as His rod of punishment.

    While we so readily set ourselves up as judge and jury, we’re going to learn today that God alone is qualified to be the judge because He is always just and knows everything.

    Our Just God Romans 3:25-31 Rev. Brian Bill July 28-29, 2018 I came across an article in the Huffington Post a week ago. Brent Gehring from Nebraska was returning home after having dinner with his daughter Emma. While he was carrying her in his arms, a man yelled at him, “What the ? Make her ...read more
