    FAITH TO STAND (part 4) We can have faith to stand in the midst of Satan’s greatest attack. A closer look a Christ’s third temptation and Satan’s FLAMING ARROWS of peer pressure, pride and presumption.

    · It began 68 years ago today, December 1st, 1934.

    How A Church Can Change For The Better

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Jan 6, 2003
    based on 186 ratings
     | 41,689 views

    In this message, we explore five paradigm shifts that a church can make to have a better future. This is a kind of "halftime" talk from a pastor/coach to the congregation/team.

    To compete for a championship, during a game a great team has to make some adjustments. I sometimes think of the New Year as a kind of halftime. My personal internal calendar starts in August when the kids go back to school. The first semester is over. Now, it’s the halftime before the second ...read more

    A Change Of Heart

    based on 21 ratings
     | 12,443 views

    The frustration and lack of understanding of God’s actions in the previous prayers of Habakkuk are turned to a humble prayer of adoration and a request to remember mercy as God judges.

    A Change Of Heart Habakkuk 3:1-2 There is a storm on the horizon. The black, billowing clouds have formed and are raging in anticipation of wreaking havoc on its victims. The thunderous noise sends chills down your spine. There is no hiding, no turning back the impending onslaught of coming ...read more

    Laodicea has always been known as the "luke warm" church. But what caused them to be so nauseating to Jesus. Their sin was subtle but just as dangerous as any that the other churches suffered from.

    OPEN: I once heard of the skipper of boat that was sinking in the ocean who frantically radioed for help. Finally, the Coast Guard answered his plea. The Coast Guard replied: "We’re on our way. What is your position? Repeat, what is your position?" The yachtsman responded: "I’m executive vice ...read more

    God requires that all who follow Him, follow Him completely with all that they are and have.

    “Making A Difference” – Pt. 2 “Becoming Fully Committed” It is often times a funny thing being a follower of Christ. When you are fully committed to God and fully committed to His leadership in your life things sometimes happen that are beyond your control. But it is through these leadings of ...read more

     | 6,139 views

    This lesson aims to demonstrate the distinction between ’works’ and ’obedience.’ We certainly cannot earn our salvation but OBEDIENCE is necessary.

    Blessings Through Obedience Introduction 1. On the one hand, the Scriptures teach that we are saved by faith, not by works: "8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9) 2. On the ...read more

    Praying With A Heaven-View

     | 3,949 views

    It’s important to pray in a way that is not self-centered.

    Introduction: Have you ever thought about how much of what we ask God for in our prayers is very self-centered? For example, I heard about a college student who always concluded her prayers with this simple petition: “God, I’m not asking for myself, but please send my mother a son-in-law.” Or ...read more

    Encouragement to stay faithful in the midst of trials and discouragement.

    A grandchild sitting on her grandfather’s lap listening to the Bible story of Noah’s Ark, asked "Were you in the Ark, grandpa?" He chuckled and replied, "Why, no I wasn’t." There was a pause, and the child looked up at him quizzically and asked, "Then why weren’t you drowned?" If that is the ...read more

    Follow The Leader Series

    based on 34 ratings
     | 12,388 views

    Simon says, "touch your nose. . ." Jesus says, "follow my example." With a servant’s heart you won’t just "win the game;" you will have the blessing of God’s hand upon your life. Will you willing to take up the towel and serve others like Jesus did?

    As a child I was never very good at the game “Simon Says.” You remember how that game is played don’t you? The leader plays the part of Simon, and everyone playing has to do what Simon says. Of course the catch is that you are only to do what Simon says when Simon says, “Simon says. . .” ...read more

     | 14,915 views

    David’s spiritual slump can be very helpful to us:encouraging to those of us who have fallen, to see that a great man like David wasn’t immune to failure and also a warning to us of the danger that comes from drifting away from God.

    WHEN FAITH FALTERS 1 SAMUEL 27 INTRODUCTION: I remember the day my daughter, Marlo let me know what she thought of the ministry. She was 10 years old and talking to her Mom about school and Deb asked her if anything new was happening and she said with excitement, "Oh, we’re going to have ...read more

    We owe our nation our support, but we owe God our wholehearted devotion.

    As you all know, our nation is at war. We’ve been expecting it to come for several weeks, but this week it finally came. And whenever war comes, it comes as a tragedy for all involved. And the dilemma for me as a pastor is what to preach about today. I’m sure many pastors will be interrupting ...read more

    The Greatest Sermon Of The Year

    Contributed by Scott Cody on Aug 14, 2003
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,641 views

    A collection of passages from the Bible that tell God’s great story in one brief sermon.

    It’s a bit presumptuous for someone to claim to deliver the greatest sermon of the year, but I make no apologies for today’s lesson or it’s claim. That’s because God’s going to do the preaching today. Sometimes, preachers get in the way of God’s powerful message of hope. So let me quit sharing my ...read more

    Broken And Blessed

    based on 54 ratings
     | 10,837 views

    The law is the hammer of God to break us so that we will be empty of our confidence in ourselves and declare our dependence upon His grace and glory.

    “Broken and Blessed!” Galatians 3:15-22 Our experiences shape us. For most of us, “experiences” rather than “truth” carry more weight in defining our understanding of life than anything else. We arrive at the conclusion that what we experience, through our eyes, is truth. As a result of this way ...read more
