     | 3,720 views

    In order to care properly for our spirit, we must know what qualities a well-maintained human spirit should have. In this message, we process what condition the believer's spirit should be in so that the person fulfills God's will for his or her life.

    Intro My objective for the next two messages is to instruct you on how to care for your spirit. Much is said about caring for your body. We need to eat right and exercise regularly if we want a strong, healthy body. Most of us know something about that, even if we don’t do what we know to do. But ...read more

    Women, Tongues, And Church Order Series

    What's Going On Around Here?

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on May 1, 2013
     | 7,032 views

    In the so-called mainline churches, many members cling to the adage, "We've never done it that way before!" As the religious people in Jesus' time discovered, hanging on to the old will blind us to the new thing that God is doing in our midst.

    Our lectionary passages this morning concern radical change, perhaps none more radical that Peter's vision in the 11th chapter of Acts. Most of us don't give much thought to what we eat and, if we do, our concern is more with calories than holiness. We don't consider food groups to be "clean" or ...read more

    I remember a fellow saying: "Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of what you see!" I was only a teenager when I heard this bit of wisdom from a heart that had grown cynical. However cynical the person who spoke these words, I realized there

    The Greatest Power Is Often Simple Patience Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 15, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,556 views

    Life outside of Christ, Paul says. It’s angry life. Its confrontational politics and caustic talk shows. It’s accusatory e-mails that appear to have been sent from a flamethrower. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with patience.

    Opening illustration: This past week I read about a first-grade teacher who was having a difficult day. It had rained that entire day and the children couldn’t go out for recess, so they got more and more restless and hyperactive as the day wore on. The teacher couldn’t wait for the bell to ring ...read more

    Having taken the title from a message that I heard over 20 years ago, this message teaches about the ’hook’ of temptation.

    How to Do Life Look For the Hook James 1:13-16 * Fishing is a fun sport and I really like it. Dad has a catfish pond and almost every time we go home, I wet a hook.
