Getting Even Somehow Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 3, 2017

The emotion that wells up within us to “get even” is about control, consequences, and vindication. Relational issues are never JUST relational issues!

Intro: 1. William Law said, “Humility is so essential to the right state of our souls that there is no pretending to a reasonable or pious life without it.

Pseudo-Science Vs. Sanctification

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019

The Bible implores every Christian to “live by the Spirit” (Gal 5:16 NIV). This is no easy task and requires full submission to God of every minute detail of one’s life. Through the centuries church leaders have used numerous ways to motivate and encourage people to live and walk in the Spirit.

Some of the most recent human-made ideas to help bring about “spiritual” living, and help Christians better understand themselves - as well as others - to live in unity and purpose together, is the use of personality tests and gift assessments. Psychological job placement and career tests are used ...read more

Jesus said, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:14-15). What parallels are there between Christ and the brass serpent?

The Passover And The Passover Lamb Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 9, 2022

Exodus chapter 12 tells the story of the First Passover and the connection with the final plague, the Plague of death. There is a definite connection from the Passover in the Old Testament and the Lord’s supper of the New Testament.

I remember hearing a striking sermon preached by a friend of mine. My friend became a Christian as an adult from a Jewish background. He was preaching on the Passover and his experience growing up where the Passover was observed in his home every year. It was an intimate family time for them. In ...read more

When Man Takes God's Glory

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 18, 2025

The temptation to take God’s glory is ever present in ministry, business, or personal success. Yet the Word of God consistently warns us against this prideful act. When man takes the glory, he incurs the wrath of God, cuts off divine favour, and limits the flow of grace.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Acts 12:21-23 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 42:8, Daniel 4:30-37, Romans 1:21, Proverbs 16:18, 1 Corinthians 1:29-31 INTRODUCTION: One of the greatest dangers in the Christian life and ministry is the subtle temptation to take credit ...read more
