    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,325 views

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,239 views

    While we are careful to avoid doing what is wrong, we often neglect doing what is right.

    JAMES 4:17 SINS OF OMISSION ”Whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” It is one thing to be ignorant of what is expected and to thus offend; it is quite another thing to know what is right and yet fail to do it. We evangelical Christians are familiar with the ...read more

    Paul shows how certain events before he was saved, when he was saved, and after he was saved all prove his message was received from God and how we can testify to God’s radically changing grace.

    This week we celebrated the life of our own: Babi: Maria Polomska. Through the tributes, one theme ran throughout: The life of a woman lived for the glory of God. Her love, and hope were expressed in her confidence and readiness to go home to the Lord. Even through she couldn’t always directly ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,811 views

    We should plead our cases before the Kingdom Court, knowing we have an Advocate (Jesus) to aid in our defense against the accusations of the prosecutor (Satan). Based on the "Dangerous Prayers" book by Francis Myles.

    Tonight, we are going to view a fresh perspective on prayer from Dr. Franics Myles in his book on “dangerous prayers.”(1) Now, I have taken some time to wade through his book and weed out the muck. Let me get started by saying that I have heard it said, “Prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not ...read more

    The Father bowed in love at Calvary, endured the silence of separation, and rejoiced in the resurrection that opened eternity for us.

    THE FATHER BOWS AT CALVARY There are moments in Scripture where God steps back the veil just enough for us to see Him. Not His power. Not His throne. Not His fire. But His heart. Moments when the God who is infinite becomes so close, so tender, so grieved, so invested in His children, that you can ...read more

    Biblical Authority

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 23, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,932 views

    This sermon is from a Southern Baptist point of view concerning biblical authority. Even among Southern Baptists there is not complete agreement on the authority of Scripture. My point of view comes from my belief in the inerrancy of Scripture.

    Introduction With the exception of the Lord Jesus Himself, the Bible has been the single most important influence in my life. When Paul wrote of Timothy, "From childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in ...read more

    God calls, and we are responsible to return His call. Yet we will only respond to that general call if God calls us specially, in a way that melts down our natural resistance to Him.

    Returning Your Calls (Romans 10:13-21) Intro 1. I do not particularly enjoy the world of phone message recorders. I am glad they exist, and I have one at the office. 2. Sometimes people leave important messages. 3. Sometimes the message is not crucial, but it communicates a piece of ...read more
