    You Are Accepted

    Contributed by Doug Morrell on Dec 5, 2005
    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,323 views

    The reason we think and many times say such terrible things about others is that we do not truly accept that we are accepted. We are haunted by guilt because we have never accepted and forgiven ourselves.

    Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Or so we have been told. However, the Bible tells us that our words have the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21). God also tells us that only wholesome talk should come from our mouths and that we should encourage one another ...read more

    Money is the top three reasons for divorce, suicide or murder and for divisions in the church. We will be looking at the instructions handed down by God through Moses to the Israelites then in Matthew we will see Jesus also instructing the people regardin

    Money and the Church Deuteronomy 8, Matthew 6:19-24 Money is always a very touchy subject in any church and it is the number one topic that most pastors will stay away from preaching about but since I am young in my ministry and do not know any better today we are going to search what the ...read more

    The Divisive And The Godly Minister

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 13, 2012
     | 6,456 views

    This is the very reason that this 3rd letter of John was written. There was a divisive leader in the church who was causing serious problems. In writing, John covers the traits of the divisive leader and he tells us how to handle him.

    A divisive leader is one of the most serious problems to ever confront a church. When a church has within its ranks a divisive leader, the very life and ministry of the church are threatened. A divisive leader always carries a church through one of its most traumatic experiences. He usually ...read more

    It’s obvious why kids look forward to Christmas. But today we’re going to look at two people who were looking forward in eager anticipation for a much different reason.

    INTRODUCTION: Remember when you were a kid and you couldn’t wait until Christmas arrived? When my brother and I were young, my Mom would have this Christmas calendar with cotton balls stuck to each of the squares. Each day we took turns taking a cotton ball off. We were excited to do so ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,953 views

    The reason for the broken covenant symbolically depicted in the Zechariah breaking the staff of grace is now more fully described. It becomes painfully clear that not only did they reject the Son of God but they mocked the character and glory of God incar

    Zechariah 11: 11-17 TRUE SHEPHERDS AND FALSE SHEPHERDS - PART II [Matthew 27: 1-10] God gave His Shepherd two staffs, one called Favor (or grace) and the other Union.

     | 71,630 views

    Before you can change you must decide that you want to be changed. There was a reason Jesus asked the question of the lame man, "Do you want to be well?" All of us must answer this crucial question.

    `“A Lame Excuse” John 5:1-15 Jesus has now come up from the city of Cana to the city of Jerusalem to celebrate one of the religious feasts. In Jerusalem there were different gates to enter and they were used for a variety of purposes. One of these gates was called the Sheep gate. ...read more

    The power of the Holy Spirit is dynamite power. This is not an external possession that may be bought or sold but a living and abiding presence within every Spirit-filled believer. There is no reason for Holy Spirit-filled dunamis empowered children o

     | 21,897 views

    To so many, the mystery of this event brings a magic to their celebration like none other. Let’s unwrap the greatest Christmas gift ever given and discover the REAL REASON for the SEASON... Why was Jesus Born?

    I think that we both would agree that Christmas is more than the cards and gifts, more than the trees and lights, more than family and food. There is a much deeper meaning, a much more fulfilling notion than that of a fat, bearded man on a sleigh. It is the birth of the Christ child: the true ...read more

     | 7,422 views

    In our present society when many people often ignore the basic foundations of God's Word, it is good to revisit the giving of the Law to Moses and understand the main reasons why God put great emphasis in it.

    THE PURPOSES OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS SCRIPTURE READING: Exodus 20:18-21 (NIV) "18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear.

    We are often disappointed with new beginnings, especially with our resolutions to change in the coming year. The reason might be that we are looking to change the wrong things. We look at circumstances instead of looking at who we are within.

    Happy New Year! Some have heard me say before that this is my favorite time of year. It is … it feels sorta like we can start over … doesn’t it? In some ways we feel like we are starting fresh and because of this everything is possible. We haven’t done anything or failed ...read more
