    Temptation Island Pt. 2 – Four R’s I. Introduction Temptation Island is a dangerous place because temptation, when we don’t understand it and learn to deal with it, separates, isolates, and will become the gateway to your demise if you don’t learn to move off the island!

    The critic will search for someone to listen to his criticism. Then that person adds their criticism. They egg each other on, & soon there will be a whole circle of critics - because critics love other critics.

    When God wants to change a community He is more concerned about whether the hearts of His people are ready to be used then with those who don’t know Him yet.

    God’s voice do we really believe He can speak to us and that we can hear Him? It’s funny because people talk about hearing from God all the time, but do we really expect to hear from Him, audibly? Today we are going to look at a passage where the Luke says that the Apostle Paul had a vision where ...read more

    As Christians, there are some things that God used in the generations before us and it's high time we dig afresh some of these wells and allow God to provide 'a well of springing water'.

    Opening illustration: Illustration of the well at our home in Muladha, Oman. • The water in our faucets was stinking • Found a dead cat in our well • The well needed to be covered and air tight • No contamination allowed from outside environment or sources • No space ...read more

    Paul had a unique conversion, yet every coming-to-Christ is a miracle.

    Introduction What was the origin of Paul’s religion? Paul’s been called “that rascal who messed everything up”, the “angry theologian”, and the “inventor of Christianity”. I believe he is none of these things, and I contend that there is a harmony ...read more

    complete salvation with God is a process; justification, sanctification, and glorification!

    We have been noting over and over again even as recent as the last chapter, the disciples ignored the situation when they could not understand Jesus. Finally, in a personal private setting, the disciples asked Jesus for an explanation!! I wonder how Jesus felt here? How do we feel when someone ...read more

    Jesus asked a perplexing question that continues to cause confusion and uncertainty - who is my family? His focus was not to appease His brothers, but to please His Father. Our relationship with Christ, and devotion to Him, must exceed all else.

    Being in the Family Mark 3: 31-35 Our text today reveals an encounter that was difficult for many to accept. Very likely the intentions of our Lord were misunderstood and misrepresented. Even today, as we consider these verses, this passage remains difficult for many to comprehend and accept. As ...read more
