Mind Control 8 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Mar 27, 2006

It is the study, application and expression of the Word of God that leads to a Christ-centered life. In general, the Christian church, even though growing in number, is shrinking in depth of Spiritual Comprehension and Discernment.

We’ve looked at the need for every Believer to "earnestly contend for the Faith, once for all delivered to the Saints". To do so, we need to recognize and resist false doctrine. Unless we can recognize and do resist false doctrine, it will not be long until we, ourselves, will be caught-up in the ...read more

Free From Condemnation

Contributed by Tim Gibson on Nov 23, 2000

Based on the story of the woman caught in sin this sermon shows the nature of true and false guilt and how Jesus deals with it.

(1) INTRODUCTION: Condemnation comes through being GUILTY. In this story the woman was openly guilty, the Scribes and Pharisees were guilty at heart - Their consciences condemning them (Rom 2:15 cf. Ex 31:18). God uses guilt to save us, Satan abuses guilt to trap and destroy us. Two Types ...read more

Like A Hand In A Glove

Contributed by Craig Cramblet on Sep 1, 2004

I read a devotional by Corrie ten Boom and it stirred my imagination. This is really a children’s message/object lesson but certainly could be expanded to challenge any group of believers to fully surrender to God’s work in their lives.

(For the object lesson, I found thin, inexpensive food service gloves in the church kitchen. If you want to expand the illustraion...the fragile, temporary nature of these gloves makes a point that a cotton or leather glove would not!) What is this? A glove. Actually, it is a specific kind of ...read more

Casting Out To Catch The Outcast

Contributed by Gregory Thomas on Oct 28, 2009

A Guide Ministry through a biblical principle

Casting Out to Catch the Outcast Jesus tells Simon to put the boat out and cast down his nets, it is a carpenter’s son and teacher telling a fisherman how to fish. It is a little like a pastor telling a CEO how to run technical aspects of his business! Not only that, but Simon’s ...read more

Let's talk about something we all love - money! But before we dive in, let's do a little experiment. I have here a $20 bill. Who wants it? (Pause for response) Okay, now what if I crumple it up?
