    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jun 19, 2019
     | 4,894 views

    Part 5 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people as he delivered as the “Sermon on the Mount.” This part examines the beatitudes, "Blessed are the merciful..." and "Blessed are the pure in heart..."

    Part 5 - Beatitudes – The Merciful and the Pure in Heart Sermon on the Mount The Christian Character Matthew 5:3 - 7:27 (Cf. Luke 6:20-49) This is Part 5 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean hillside as he ...read more

    Nothing proves our faith like suffering for it. Jesus calls us to follow him and face suffering in ways that are purely kingdom ways. Can we do it?

    Does our Christian ethic or moral position change with situation and circumstance? Not long ago James Dobson stated that he could not vote for any candidate for office who endorsed abortion or homosexual relationships. There was a backlash against Dobson that came from many supporters that used ...read more

    When pure worship occurs it will stir the spirit of everyone present, Both good & evil.This is the worship God wants. Ministering to Him because he is who He is:

    JOHN 4: 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." What is worship? A study of worship will produce a ...read more

     | 16,361 views

    In our text, it appears that Paul was a failure but only in the eyes of the world, not in the eyes of the Lord. 1- He was insulted but daring 2- He was accused but pure 3- He was displeasing but pleasing

    INTRO.- ILL.- Pete walked up to his teacher’s desk, holding a report card with a big red F. "If I were you," said Pete, "I would change this while you still can."

    Nothing should hold us back when we worship the Lord. Our worship must be pure and authentic. That is why God's desire for us is to be released from the bondage of Satan.

    Today, we will be going to Exodus chapter 9. We will study the statements of God in answer to Pharaoh's stubbornness. What does God desire that is of utmost importance? What does God caution us against? What are the consequences of disobedience? May the Lord give us understand on these ...read more

    A humble desire for the Lord of all. Simple, pure, truthful, meek, lowly, humble. That’s what it takes. Maybe in the end that’s a gift from the Lord himself.

    “Mother and daughter looked more like twin sisters. Both were grossly overweight, and together they couldn’t have possessed more than eight teeth.

    Give up your dreams of a “pure church”. The reality is there will always be a mixture of true followers and hypocrites. Make sure you’re ready for the judgment day and get on with the work of being fruitful!

    INTRO: I’ve got a confession to make. I love Roundup. I love the feeling of just going around, spraying a little bit of poison and then in a few days seeing those weeds shrivel up and die! It’s so much more fun than actually pulling the weeds up! But, the problem with Roundup is it can be ...read more

    This is the 4th of 11 Studies in the Book of James and talks about the need to control the use of our tongues, defines pure and undefiled religion and the warns against discrimination against the poor in the church.

    James 1:26 26 “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.

    What is holiness? The word HOLY used here means to be or to keep oneself pure or to sanctify yourself wholly.Let us look at four statements here in this verse that help define personal holiness.

    What exactly does it mean to be HOLY? I think I can better answer that question if I know what being Holy is not. For instance, if you shout all over the church while tripping over your tongue, That is not Holy. If you withhold your tithe to starve the pastor out, That is not Holy. If you prefer ...read more
