     | 5,937 views

    When we hear what God wants us to be and what he wants us to do in our worship and we do something else, this says that there is a critical "disconnect," a spiritual malfunction.

After the first day at work his supervisor was very impressed when he learned that this new employee had painted three miles’ worth of ...read more

     | 5,012 views

    What does pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, look like? James challenges us to discover for ourselves what that religion looks like.

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep ...read more

     | 4,177 views

    We often are hearers of the Word and not doers. We learn and teach God’s Word more than obeying it ourselves. John 13: 17 says, “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”

    Introduction: In the books of Genesis and John we find that God has given us His Word – the truth and wants us to follow our freedom in Him from the evil one. There are 5 hindrances which affect our understanding and application of God’s Word:- 1. Tendency to make Christian doctrine an end in ...read more

I would suggest to you that there is some truth to that statement. Let’s face it; ...read more

    In this sermon you will find help in evaluating your reception of the word of God.

    Remember the fairly tale where the wicked witch consulted the mirror but disregarded the mirror’s advice. We sometimes do the same thing.

    Three basics for living the Christian life from the Book of James - Be Teachable, Live a moral life, and embrace the Word of God.
