    One of the reasons that it is a sin for Christians to take drugs or drink alcoholic beverages is because these are substances that control our behavior.

    These are things that will ruin our lives and cause us to make fools out of ourselves. There is no way that a Christian can be controlled by the Holy Spirit if they are controlled by these substances. But these are not the only things that control Christians. For example, there are many ...read more

     | 7,984 views

    Why did Jesus talk so much about hell? It's not a real popular topic even today and its hard to think it would have been then. What possible reason would Jesus have for stressing it during His ministry?

    OPEN: There’s a small town in Michigan, about 60 miles west of Detroit. It’s a small community of about 80 people, and the name of this little town is (pause) Hell... Hell, Michigan. It always seems to make the news during the winter time, when newspapers joke about HELL FREEZING OVER. They ...read more

    Psychology defines mindset as a set of beliefs we have about ourselves. But Paul challenges us not to have a mindset, but to set our minds. There's a big difference.

    Good morning. I’d like you to turn in your Bibles to Romans 8, as we continue our journey through what many people believe to be the greatest chapter in the entire Bible. We introduced chapter 8 by talking about how it was the greatest portrayal… • Of the depth of God’s love for his children. • Of ...read more
