Repentance: The Forgotten Fruit Of God's Grace

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 31, 2008

People look at the church and cry superficial. Why is that? I believe because it is we have forgotten that saving faith leads to repentant lives. One fruit that has fallen off the faith tree is repentance.

Intro: There are people that look at the church today and cry hypocrites. One reason is they don’t understand we are sinners that are saved by grace. It is the grace of God that makes us saints not the acts of men. Another reason is that the church has become superficial! Paul told timothy ...read more

Mental Discipline

Contributed by Rick Thiessen on Apr 7, 2008

Jesus called us to love God with all our MINDS... when we fall for mushy thinking about God, morals and religion, we’re not exercising mental discipline. Jesus called people to earnest seeking and intellectual honesty.

SE030208 THE D WORD 1. Mental Discipline Many of us, when we think of the “D” word, we think about physical discipline and what comes to mind is the epidemic of flabby bodies today. But the truth is there’s another flabbiness epidemic in our day – but it’s of the MIND. Flabbiness is being driven ...read more

The Five Characteristics Of Obedience

Contributed by Rick George on Apr 17, 2008

As Ruth stepped out of her comfort zone in obedience to God, we are also called to do just the same.

I hope you enjoyed this comical look at living in the comfort zone.

If you have your Bible please turn to the ...read more

The Up And Sideways Of Worship Series

Contributed by Rick George on Apr 18, 2008

We must have a vertical (worship toward God) and a horizontal (edification of the church) philosophy of worship.

Have you ever wondered “Why do we gather together on Sunday mornings? What is the purpose of carving out of our busy week 2 – 3 hours to come to a place to be with other people to sing songs and to listen to a guy speak?” What is the purpose of congregational worship? I mean, you could be home ...read more

Open the eyes of my heart – of our hearts. What does that really mean?

Please follow along as I read from Romans 8:31-39 31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any ...read more

Our Sacrifice Of Worship - God's Desire

Contributed by Rick George on Apr 19, 2008

A woman gives her most valued asset for the purpose of worshiping Jesus. We must also give sacrificially in our worship.

There’s no doubt that the topic of giving and anything related to our finances is uncomfortable. It’s uncomfortable for pastors and it’s uncomfortable for congregations.

Jonah - A Suprised Silly Dove

Contributed by Rick George on Apr 19, 2008

When God calls us to do an extraordinary task, we need to trust His help and lean not our own understanding, but His.

A. Jonah… poor Jonah. If you have ever read this short little book in the old testament, you feel sorry for the guy and not in a way that you wish he had better luck, but in a way that you wish he would have just trusted and followed God. I mean, God would have protected him and cared for him on ...read more
