    Sometimes when people do evil or even great things we like to try to figure out what motivates them. Paul talks about what motivated him and what he was motivated to do in today’s text. Perhaps we can learn some things from his example.

    February 19, 2006 1 Corinthians 9:16-23 Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. What then is my reward? ...read more

    Farewell sermon.

    There is nothing more poignant than considering the end of things. Whenever we experience the end of things it helps us consider what is really important. I was struck this week by John Piper’s journal entry: He recounted as he sat beside the bed of his father keeping a vigil. He monitored his ...read more

    David The Music Minister Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 13, 2009
     | 24,079 views

    The way that David’s music ministered to Saul’s heart, music in worship can minister to ours. I include some suggestions for getting the most out of our music in worship.

    Introduction: A. Music is a powerful force – It gets our attention; it grabs our hearts; it transforms our souls. 1. This is the case because God has made it so. 2. God is the one who has created music and created us in a way that music ministers to us. 3. Not only that, God has also given ...read more

     | 7,273 views

    When a person’s religion is false at its foundation, they won’t even know the right questions to ask.

    Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MAN’S BROTHER DIES and leaves behind a wife AND LEAVES NO CHILD, HIS BROTHER SHOULD MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER. 20 “There were ...read more

    The Rich Man And Lazarus

    An Appointment with Fate I love the verse in Psalms Chapter 122 vs. 1 which says “I was glad when they said unto me; let us go into the House of the Lord.” Isn’t it wonderful to be in the House of God this morning where there is always a welcome sign above the door?

     | 6,260 views

    We treat God as though He were not present. Jesus shows us how to get real with God by admitting His feelings, by telling what He wanted, and by enlisting His friends in prayer, however inadequate. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    We are not going to debate this morning whether there is or is not a God. That’s settled, I would think, in this room. The issue is not whether God is real, but whether we know how to get real with God. Let me play out a little scene with you. Picture a home in which there is a parent and a ...read more

    Is It Worth It?

     | 12,405 views

    Is it worth it to follow Christ? Is it worth it to live faithfully? Is it worth it to give faithfully? Paul’s answer is, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."

    This message is based on three verses: Romans 8:18, 26, 28. The Bible states that those who sell out to Jesus Christ have the power of God at work within them. We’re not going to be living perfect lives. All of our lives, we’re going to be saying with Paul, "Wretched man that I am! Who will set me ...read more
