    No Perfect People

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,130 views

    Some people believe that Christians are supposed to be and appear perfect, and that the only ones who can attend church are those who “have it all together.” The church is not a country club for saints, but a hospital for sinners.

    Life is hard, and there are many people who are wounded and hurting inside, who are dealing with personal and emotional issues. This is true not only of unbelievers, but Christians as well; but all too often we come to church wearing a mask and putting on a show. People will ask us how we’re ...read more

    Don’t leave your area of gifting, purposes and blessings because of famine .Taking action to change unfavorable situations in life is commendable. However, understand if it’s the appropriate change. Otherwise, you will be leaving Canaan going into Egypt.

    “GOD appeared to him and said, "Don’t go down to Egypt; stay where I tell you. Stay here in this land and I’ll be with you and bless you. I’m giving you and your children all these lands, fulfilling the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.” (Gen 26:2-3 MSG) Don’t go to ...read more

    Hands open may be a handshake or a salute, signalling friendship or respect. Just as those gestures affirmed Saul, we also must approach others by leading them to safety and by affirming their potential.

    f I come toward you with an open hand, what does that mean? If I approach you from across the room with either one hand or both hands open, how would you interpret that? Well, of course, it would mean different things for different kinds of open hands. There is more than one way to be ...read more

    We can only enjoy freedom when we experience God’s Word.

    I read about a church that just installed its pastor. After preaching his first sermon, the deacons and the entire congregation excitedly told him how much the message blessed them. The next Sunday, he preached again. Though they still like the message, they felt they were not as blessed as the ...read more

    One of the main purposes of 1 John is to help the Christian, the child of God to know that they are truly in a right relationship with God, to know that your standing is true in the Lord.

    Living the Life Series: The Test of Loving My Neighbor Scripture Reference: 1 John 2:7 – 11 Introduction I agree with one pastor who stated that he had yet to meet anyone who actually likes to take tests. In fact some people have a phobia about taking tests, they freeze up as soon as the test is ...read more

    To urge people to deliberately begin to love and to associate with at least one lost person for the purpose of unapologetically inviting them to answer Jesus’ call to repent

    I want to begin this morning by showing a deeply moving and theologically packed video clip that not only is animated and frivolous, but also 3 months too early in the year. But, this does help introduce a certain character we’re going to learn from this morning. (Show clip from “The ...read more

    If we do not value people’s souls, we will not go out looking for them. And if we do not go looking, then we cannot fulfill our purpose … which is to bring people into a right relationship with God. And if we do not fulfill our purpose, then what good are we to God?

    Imagine you’re God and you want to announce the most amazing, incredible, joyous news ever … an event that will literally change the course of history … the birth of your only Son, Jesus Christ … the birth of the One who will be the Savior of the whole world … the One for whom the Nation of Israel ...read more

    Today’s message is taken from the life of King Jeroboam. Jeroboam deliberately modified and changed God’s commandments to suit his purposes. Jeroboam didn’t cease being religious nor believing in God; rather he was using God to suit his own purposes.

    Using God 1 Kings 14:1-6 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBOsnQH5bDE This story on the life of King Jeroboam is one that no one should ignore.

    There will be injustice in this world because man sins. God will judge. He loves justice. We are incapable of true justice or understand God's perfect judgement. God has His purpose.
