    1Jo 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Max Lucado said that his tattooed anchor on his forearm symbolized his personality—cast-iron. His broad chest stretched his shirt. ...read more

    How gullible are you? How quick are you to believe what you hear - and what do you base your decisions on? The Corinthians were too quick to believe, and we can learn lessons ourselves on how to know truth from error.

     | 5,972 views

    This is the 2nd in a series of 4 messages that challenge the hearers to do "whatever it takes" to be the people that God has called them to and to help their church be all that God would have it to be.

    “WHATEVER IT TAKES” Luke 4:38-44 INTRO – WWJD – extremely popular a few years ago. Bracelets, t-shirts, bumper stickers – all sorts of things with these letters on them.

    God never wants us to align ourselves w/ wickedness in a common goal. Instead, our relationships with the lost are to be a one way street w/ the goal of reaching them. God saved the day when His people separated themselves. Link inc. to text and PowerPoin

    Dig a Ditch! II Kings 3:16-20 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/DigADitch.html Dig a ditch so God can fill it! That is a clear lesson from this passage.

    Just A Little Give And Take

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 29, 2004
    based on 65 ratings
     | 4,278 views

    First Sunday in Lent: Temptation is often the enticement to compromise, to engage in just a bit of ’give and take.’ Jesus would have none of it when satan tempted Him. Nothing would deter Jesus from the Cross.

    The art of the compromise – of give and take – is valued by many people. You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. Watch the consummate politician on campaign trail – they live by give and take. Whey even a good football game starts out as a battle of give and take. One team will fight and ...read more

    The Bible gives us the answer to the question, "What Do We Do And Where Do We Go When Life Becomes Overwhelming?"

    “What Do We Do And Where Do We Go When Life Becomes Overwhelming?” Hebrews 6:18-20 We Run To God Because… A. The PROMISE of refuge we have is based upon God’s Immutability.

    We have heard numerous stories about Jesus’ temptation. Yet, perhaps the amazing thing of the story of Christ’s temptations is that He knows our story so well.
