    Joy killers. Philippians 1:1 -- 2. 08/15/04 I want us to go through this book of Philippians because we can learn a lot about joy. Who is it that doesn’t want joy?

    We come to church not as consumers of religion, but as a community of faith that is open to God, to one another, and to outsiders

    The Open Church 1Peter 2:9-10 9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had ...read more

    What is is that God wants of me? God doesn’t want religion he wants faithfulness.

    1/ God’s purpose ... God wants us to live for him. The law was given so people could demonstrate their faithfulness and love for him. That would over flow into love for other people. People have turned their back to live for themselves. Many of these people are religious (Christian even) They ...read more

    Dramatic monologue, as if the speaker were "Dives" ... an appeal to move beyond "cool" and distant religion into compassion.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC January 26, 1986 I am Dives; and I have come to you today only because for this brief moment the unbridgeable is bridged, the chasm is spanned.

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,145 views

    There is much preaching done today in the power of the emotions, or in the power of the intellect. This is false preaching, and false religion.

    Preaching with the Power of the Holy Spirit Study Text: I Corinthians 1:17 - 18 Introduction: - One of the most neglected parts of preaching is understanding the role and power of the Holy Spirit in preaching God’s word. - As teachers, we spend hours studying, outlining, doing word studies, and ...read more

    Luxury And Laziness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,833 views

    There is the very real possibility that religious people are trusting in their religion, rather than in the true and living God.

    LUXURY AND LAZINESS. Amos 6:1a, Amos 6:4-7. Amos was a farmer from Tekoa, to the south of Jerusalem (Amos 1:1). The LORD called Amos to ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel’ (Amos 7:15). The prophet’s ministry was thereafter directed mainly to the ten tribes of the northern kingdom of Israel, ...read more

    Salvation rests not on our fragile belief but on the unbreakable faithfulness of Jesus, whose obedience secures our eternal assurance.

    Introduction — When Faith Feels Fragile There are moments in life when faith feels small—thin as the line of light that leaks under a closed door. Maybe you’ve stood there, wondering if God still remembers your name. You’ve tried to believe, but the doubts keep whispering: Is my faith enough? Am ...read more

    Do Science And Faith Conflict? Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 9, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,398 views

    Science and faith do not have to be in conflict with each other. When there is conflict, it is either because of bad science or bad religion, or both.

    A. How many of you enjoy learning about science? Was science your favorite subject in school? B. I like the story told about a teacher who was giving her second-grade students a lesson in science. 1. She explained all about magnets and showed how they would pick up nails and other pieces of ...read more

    God's Love Is The Key

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 9, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,803 views

    What makes Christianity completely different and unique from all the other religions in the world is ‘love’ because it is the only religion where Jesus Christ, who is love Himself, comes to dwell within each willing heart when invited to.

    I am firmly convinced that every human being has an unquenchable longing for love, and to love and be loved, because God is love (1 John 4:8). The love a person feels for another is just a minute shadow of God’s love for EVERYONE! Jesus Christ is the very definition of love itself and the empirical ...read more
