     | 34,837 views

    This sermon makes three points about praise. 1. Praise gets your FOCUS on God. 2. Praise increases your UNDERSTANDING of God. 3. Praise helps build your CONFIDENCE in God.

    Three Benefits Of Praising God For centuries being a worshiper of God has meant offering the right sacrifices – following the right set of rules – obeying a certain set of guidelines and worshipping on the right day week or in the right place. Do you remember the woman at the well? ...read more

    God blesses His servants; those that will labor to receive and understand God’s Word; those of upright character that walk in humility and integrity; those that pray until the answer comes and they never give up.

    Understand this and the rest is much more clear. Jesus said to turn back to Daniel and see the 70 Weeks of Years - the most amazing prophecy in the Bible! Link inc. to formatted text, audio, and PowerPoint.

    The Backbone of Bible Prophecy Matthew 24:15; Daniel 9:24-27 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/Backbone.html Jesus tells us to turn back to Daniel, so we’d better do what we’re told! It is the skeletal structure of all prophecy, so it can be a great help in our study of the end times. v. 24-27 The ...read more

    The Sin Of Pride

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Feb 13, 2008
     | 6,113 views

    Most everybody knows that pride is sinful, but not everybody has an adequate understanding of what pride is and what it does. Pride, at its very heart, is a self-centeredness, and it will always move you away from godliness.

     | 109,281 views

    This message is part of a series Entitled "Walking in the Spirit." Though Christians believe in the Holy Spirit, many do not understand how to walk daily in the Spirit nor the blessings God grants to those who do.

    ROMANS 8:5-11 LIFE IN THE SPIRIT Our text reveals that there are only two ways to live life. Paul draws several contrasts between existence ruled by the flesh and the new life of the Spirit. To walk in the Spirit is to be "in step" with the Spirit. Life in the Spirit ...read more

    He Is The Lord

     | 2,363 views

    Gleaned from John Ortberg’s Book - "If you want to walk on the water, you have to get out of the boat". This teaches us that we must understand exactly "who" the Lord is.

    HE is the Lord Matthew 25:14-30 > Dr. Tim Lahaye tells the story (which I have repeated many times, but which perfectly illustrates a point); it’s about a husband who was receiving marital counseling. The obvious truth was that He and His wife were at odds with each other and were in the mode of ...read more

     | 6,395 views

    Does God exist? Considering nearly 10% of Americans do not believe in God - perhaps we need to understand His witness of His existence in order to answer their queries - 1 Peter 3:15.

    God’s Witness of His Existence Psalm 19:1-14 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all ...read more

    Jesus Christ is my King. Do you know Him? He is more than I can describe, and yet he cares so much for me, more than I can understand.

    Do You Know My King? Sunday, July 09, 2006 – AM By Pastor Jim May We are living in a world gone mad. Who can deny that the word of God in Isaiah 5:20 is coming to pass before our very eyes?

    Living In Uncommon Grace Series

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Sep 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,384 views

    Most Christians understand “grace” as it applies to salvation that is that Jesus did something for them that they could never do for themselves. We tend to get a little fuzzy when it comes to grace as it applies in the Christian life.

    Living in Uncommon Grace James 4:4-10 Intro Most Christians understand “grace” as it applies to salvation that is that Jesus did something for them that they could never do for themselves. By his death on the cross in our place, He paid our sin debt. He gives us a new standing before God the ...read more

    Now that this church has rebuilt its basic structure, it is time to go on and make it all work. To do so, go back to rediscover God’s intention for humanity and understand that the church is to restore the "garden."

    One spiritual principle shows up over and over again in the Scriptures. One theme is repeated endlessly: and that is that the way to go forward is to go back. The way to move ahead with your life is to go back, to go back to its roots, go back to its foundations, where you discover what is valuable ...read more

    Faith Midrash Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 28, 2009
     | 4,446 views

    When we understand how Jesus’ teaching on faith is connected to the Old Testament texts from which they originate, we can set aside wrong thinking and embrace fuller, more accurate perspectives.

    The Word of God teaches us that man can do nothing apart from God. As believers we are to recognize our union with Him and demonstrate our understanding of our dependence in both word and deed.

    Our Dependence John 15:5 The Declaration of Independence states that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” The words freedom and liberty do ...read more
