    Nature gives us insights into who God is and what he does as well as how we are to live before him. In this lesson we recognize that the darkness of night, ths shining of the stars, and the dawn of the sun parallel the darkness of evil that encompasses th

    1. Aggie and Sun Story The rivalry between UT and Texas A&M is well known.

     | 5,272 views

    True Biblical knowledge married to a living spiritual relationship with Jesus leads to new creation behavior. Anger is an emotion given by God to respond to injustice and unrighteousness. Learn in this sermon to use anger biblically.

    Intro: If you remember last week one of the most important things we can do is saturate our minds with God’s word. We do this so that the Holy Spirit can plant it deeply within our minds and give us something of the Spirit to think about. We don’t learn more of the Bible which ...read more

    Making The Bible Relevant

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 14, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,232 views

    The Bible is already relevant. Maybe we need to get out of the way and let its power be seen.

    1. There is a lot of talk today about making the bible "relevant." a. The word Relevant means "Logically connected with and important to the matter in hand; appropriate, germane, pertinent." b. There seems to be a precedent in verses like: 15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but ...read more

    God works through our troubles and our prayers.

    God’s fingerprints can be detected all through history. • At times His work is dramatically obvious - like parting the Red Sea, tearing down the walls of Jericho - but other times, it’s not noticeable to our senses. • Our lack of perception, however, does not mean God is ...read more

    John tells us to watch out and not get caught up in what the world systems want to lure us into. It's a trap that we need to avoid.

    The Life of Abraham, Part 14: Isaac Shall Be Heir Genesis 21:8-21 Introduction The birth of Isaac was a time of great joy. But the birth of Isaac also would have important implications.

    Deal with sin WITH God's help. Understand the need for confession, for correction, and for change of our ways of living. All of these Cs can only come through Christ.

    Sin does not just affect the person who sin. It affects those around them. • A husband who sin affects his wife and children, the child who sin hurts his parents, a pastor who sin devastates the church, a leader who sin messes up the nation… • Sin contaminates everything around.

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 19, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,225 views

    With the exception of faithfulness to sound, biblical doctrine, nothing is more essential to the prosperity of the church than unity. In fact, sound doctrine without unity will profit little. When love is present, unity also will be.

    Conformed to Unity Philippians 2: 1-4 As we move into chapter two, we quickly discover these verses are a continuation of the previous passage.
