    It should have brought them together but instead it tore them apart. They both worshipped the same God, they had both offered their God a sacrifice and that is where it seemed to fall apart. Cain was a farmer, he toiled in the dirt and raised crops, his younger brother was a shepherd, and he ...read more

    The "Motive" of Christ’s death on the cross is fairly clear in Scripture... but there are people who are offended by that message.

    OPEN: (We started the sermon playing the theme music for "CSI Miami". Then commented:) Some of you may be asking “What in the world was that?” That was the theme music from the hit TV show “CSI Miami”. There’s CSI, CSI Miami, and CSI New York… and for the next few weeks we’re going to be ...read more

    Where God Is

    We don’t have all the answers but we still know that God is still God. We still know He is just. He is still merciful to all who trust Him.

    I don’t know what your relationship is like with the Lord, but usually when I get frustrated and upset with Him, He tends to show me I’m proud and have idolatry. In the end, what I feel like I was walking in and what I think we all get caught in is that we tend to walk in this thing, whether we ...read more

    The fifth deadly sin is lust. Like, the others, this one permeates our culture. It is everywhere. It tempts us all. It starts out so innocently but even the smallest seed can germinate to destructive proportions. We’ll see how to guard against it.

I hope you have been able to see how our culture and our lives are inundated with these sins and how they often run hand-in-hand with each other.

    Doubt Vs Courage

    Contributed by Craig Smee on Mar 27, 2007
     | 2,684 views

    Doubt is in direct contradiction to the confidence of the cross! Take courage from the same sources Jesus drew upon.

    Doubt vs Courage Doubt is such a destructive thing. It strips us of the ability to achieve. It disables our creativity. Hides productivity and strips away positivity. Doubt was the very thing that Satan used to trip up Eve. Is it really so? He asked her. Doubt made sure Eve fell, it kept people ...read more

    Christians today can attain Christ-likeness by doing the same thing Paul did—dealing with the past, living in the present, and pressing toward the prize.

    PHILIPPIANS 3:12-14 What does it take to attain greatness? First, I guess you have to figure out what greatness is. If you’re a salesman, greatness might be selling a million dollars worth of stuff. If you’re a working man, greatness might be owning your own business. If you’re a football ...read more
