    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 9, 2013
     | 6,448 views

    This is the tenth message in a series over the life of Moses that shows being God's man is never easy. This examines how leaders can easily become overloaded.

    Dave Stone in His book, “Keeping Your Head Above Water” provides the following insight into leadership overload. “It is possible to spread yourself so thin that within the church you are mediocre in four or five areas instead of excellent in one or two.” This is a common ...read more

    You cannot live by faith without taking charge of your thought life. Only when you understand this and begin using it this way will your life truly prosper in God.

    A. When you begin investing your faith in the Word of God, your life is going to take on a supernatural dimension in terms of the unfolding plan of God for your life. The only way Satan can stop that or slow it down is to bring enough adversity to bear that he begins to shake your faith and cause ...read more

    This message from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    Living life, parenting, retirement and ministry can all become burdensome. These burdens can often be almost more than we can bear. We have grown to accept this as a part of living life in the twenty-first century. Imagine if you will if Jesus would have chosen to live in modern America rather than ...read more

    Jesus is a lot of things to us-Lord, King, Savior. But there’s one thing that Jesus is that we might not think about very often-a friend. Let’s find out more about that wonderful aspect of Jesus.

    HEY, FRIEND! INTRODUCTION: It’s nice to have friends isn’t it? It’s nice to know that there’s someone you can call on in a time of need, someone who you can discuss things with, someone you can turn to when you’re dealing with something. It’s good to have people ...read more

    Through baptism God marks us with real forgiveness.

    (Call a few children up to the front of the church.) Can you see a face on this (U.S.) five-dollar bill? No? What do you see? You see a picture of a big building with lots of columns right?

    Verse upon verse teaching from Proverbs. Chapter 18 of the book of Proverbs. As you read the verses it is in the NKJ translation; however, when breaking each verse down you will find many translations to help you teach.

    Advice that Will Change Your Life Text: Proverbs 18:1-24 A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment. 2 A fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart. 3 When the wicked comes, contempt comes also; And with dishonor comes reproach. ...read more

    When at first we hear "repent or perish", it seems harsh. But as we turn, we see that it is an incredible gift to have something to turn to.

    Turn and Live 08/10/08 AM Text: Numbers 21:4 - 9 Let’s imagine ourselves in this situation, put ourselves in the sandals of the Israelites. Fiery serpents are slithering throughout our camp.

    3 John verse 11 echoes the words of John throughout his writings. We are called by Jesus Christ to leave sin and follow the truth.

    This morning our text is 3 John. Adam Clarke notes that we seldom hear 3 John quoted but in reproof of lordly tyrants, or prating troublesome fellows in the Church. He says that it has been the lot of both the minor prophets and the minor epistles to be generally neglected, because with many ...read more

    We are empowered to continue the ministry of Christ—which is our calling! And all it takes is trusting God to be God. We need not be Superman or Wonderwoman. All we need is God and one another. All we need to do is, “Just do it!”

    Luke 17:5-6 Acts 2:42-47 “It only Takes a Spark” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I think, oftentimes, many of us are intimidated by our faith. Now what in the world do I mean by that? Well, for one thing, the mission of the Church is to ...read more

    Who should be leaders in the Church?

    The Question? Before we get to the question of the day, let us reflect for a moment on what are sin, repentance and forgiveness. According to Jesus, not believing in him is sin (John 16:8). In James 4:17 we learn that “it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.” (Sin ...read more
