    Hope Set Before Us

     | 2,680 views

    We need tradition to guide us, but often our traditions lie in the past fifty to seventy years. Our tradition should reach back further; like 2000 years ago! The anchor for our traditions should be in Jesus, not the inventions of men.

    This evening we’re going to discuss the topic of “tradition.” If you have ever seen the musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” then you probably recall a rather large Jewish man singing about tradition throughout the entire performance. You may recall that tradition was a dreaded word to the young ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,661 views

    Paul prayed at least 5 prayers for believers. These prayers are extremely important because they were inspired by the Holy Spirit and capture the will of God for our transformation into the image of Christ.

The evidence to support his claim was shaky at best. 2. Someone threw a part of a brick through a man’s front window. The police couldn’t ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Feb 20, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,231 views

    Because God is Holy, we must hold onto His gift of holiness which he gave us through His Son Jesus Christ. We must perceive it and understand what it is then believe on it and receive it! Once we have it we need to make sure that we hold onto it.

    Illustration: Give out the gifts to the staff before preaching. Make a big deal about then 5-10 minutes into sermon have them come back to the front at different times and say they don’t want my gift and throw it at me.
