    We Are Only Renting These Bodies Of Ours

    Contributed by Charles Jones on Sep 7, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 19,282 views

    On this earth every Christian is a renter, but in the world to come each of us looks forward to being a homeowner. Since this life is just a meager sojourn for us, our hope is anchored on heavenly horizons.

    We Are Only Renting These Bodies of Ours For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Corinthians 5:1 Have you ever rented a house or an apartment? Renting has its advantages but it ...read more

    God is interested in our ATTITUDES

    Attitudes Story: An atheist was sitting under a tree one day smugly thinking: "God, I know you don't exist - but it you did - you must really be stupid. You created a huge oak tree to carry this little acorn and such a puny plant to carry a marrow. Now, if I had been you, I'd have created ...read more

     | 6,337 views

    What is our destiny as believers? Why do we follow Jesus? What does Jesus offer those who are obedient? As sinners, can we ever know the grace of God? ABSOLUTELY! Let's look at these verses...

    It seems like the society we live in continues to worsen every day. David felt the same way about the day he lived in. By looking at how David handled his ungodly surroundings, we can get some clues as to how we should respond to ours.

    LIVING IN TROUBLED TIMES Text: Psalm 12 It was a dangerous time. The nation was under attack from all directions. Leaders were corrupt and did many vile things. The religious leaders were unfaithful to God, and led God’s people astray. People were killing their own family members. ...read more

    God calls us to grow in ourv faith if we are going to effectively apply our priesthood and represent men before Him in prayer and intercession.

    Last time, we spoke about intercession. We defined intercession as: “Offering up requests to God on behalf of another who would make the same request of God if they had sense enough to ask.” We said that intercession involves using my relationship and standing with God to ask ...read more

    Can you imagine what kind of morning that must have been. It started off as just a regular morning, yes there was sadness in the air, but can you imagine arriving at the tomb of Jesus and finding it empty?

    As the Pastor introduced his children’s sermon on Easter, he asked the little ones, “Do you see anything different about our church today?” Little Heather quickly figured out the difference and blurted out, “It’s full!” ` I cannot even imagine what kind of ...read more

    Paul said in Gal 2.20 that the life he lived Christ lived in him. He was telling us that we are to allow the Holy Spirit to incarnate Jesus' life in us. Our life is not our own it was bought with a price. If Jesus is living in us then His life should b

    Intro: Jesus came into the world at a time similar to ours. The social setting was very complex due to the conflicting religions and philosophies of the day. This led to a very pluralistic social structure in which you could justify anything in the name of a personal god (small g). In other ...read more

    The Importance Of Christian Unity Series

     | 32,877 views

    All true believers have God’s glory within, no matter what they may look like on the outside. Christian unity is not based on the external, but the internal. The very Spirit of God within us.

    How important is unity in our individual lives? How important is unity in our church? Jesus had a lot to say about the importance of unity. If Christians cannot be unified, then we are not approaching one another in love. And we cannot be a good witness for Christ if we are bickering with one ...read more
