    The compromising church is leaving the way of holiness and righteousness so that we can reach the sinner, but are we really reaching them?

    LEAVING THE WAY 1 Corinthians 9:22 2 Peter 2:9-22 One of the greatest problems that I see in the realm of Christianity is that there is a wholesale turning away from the ways of holiness and righteousness, and there is a tendency to leave the ways of the Lord that have been passed down from the ...read more

    Rehoboam inherited the promises of both his father and grandfather. As we look at how he entered those promises we can learn from his mistakes to ensure that we don’t make the same.

    Lessons of Rehoboam Today I want to look at the grandson of David and to learn a few lessons from the life of the man who is remembered as the one who split the kingdoms of Israel.

    Old wife’s tale, "The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach." Used this principle to drive home some spiritual truths about fatherhood

    FATHER’S DAY SERMON IN A BAG As I wondered how to get through to our fathers this morning, an old wife’s tale came to mind, “The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” I figured using this same principle might help in driving home some spiritual truths as well.

     | 3,996 views

    When we first come to Christ we are tempted to make radical changes to our lives in order to prove our devotion to God. But there are some dangers there - and Paul addresses these in answer to a perplexing question.

    There was a saying when I first became a believer in Jesus Christ. It was a way of characterizing your devotion to the Lord – you’d say “I’m radically saved.” We meant that we had given all of ourselves to Him, and it was a good thing. But some people took the radical part to extremes. There were ...read more

    Does the Scripture require that America "turn the other cheek" following the attacks of 9/11, or do we have the right to respond militarily?

    Introduction The Story: Turn the Other Cheek The mother of four young boys often had difficulty curbing their energy, especially in church.

    . Too many people do this still today, they run to God’s grace desiring eternal life in heaven, but quickly pull back from God at the first hint of obligation or responsibility to this grace we freely enjoy.
