    Our response to Satan's lies (Eph 2:8-9; 1 John 4:1; James 4:7): • We are to submit to God's will (2 Cor. 11:3, 14-15). Satan's ways look good and appealing, but God's way is the way that is best; Satan's way is death. It is better to be poor and honest than rich and dishonest! • We ...read more

    This sermon illustrates the unexpected nature of Christ’s return, along with the urgency of making proper preparations for it. The style is that of story-telling.

You can change the names around to make sure you don’t step make anyone think you’re referring to them. I tried to take several of the attitudes Jesus taught against, then create characters based on ...read more

You had all the details worked out, and then the boss man comes up to you on Friday, before you leave to go home and says, “I hate to do this to you, I know you had plans ...read more

    This parable is about persistence in praying but not about praying the same prayer persistently to get what we want. It is about sticking with prayer and with God no matter what!

    God is speaking to us through our worship, in the songs we sing, the Scriptures read and the message delivered. What you will walk away with will be determined by how well you listen to God. What is necessary to listen well?

    Listening to God I Samuel 3:1-10 Charles Stanley in a sermon from Nehemiah once asked, “How is it that two people can sit in the same pew, hear the same sermon about the same portion of Scripture, and walk away with two different reactions?
