Mind Control 9 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Jan 31, 2007

We all want the “perfect” church, BUT far too often, we do not want to become the “perfect” church. It’s strange, trying to find or have a perfect church becomes a problem because WE are the church.

The Character Of Self Control Series

Contributed by Scott Bradford on Mar 20, 2007

This sermon is in a series on fruit of the Spirit, namely The Character of a Christian: Self Control.

I. I have really enjoyed preaching this series on the "fruits" (character) of a Christian, and then I came down to this last one and read it again "Self Control". I sort of did one of those Lucille Ball takes (uggh!) on it! Like it is easy for me to talk about joy, and love, and peace, but "self ...read more

Mind Control 2 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Jan 31, 2006

Almost any Spiritual action can be imitated by the energy of the flesh, or the control of the mind OR by demons. Therefore, we must be very careful to make sure that what we attribute to God is not, at its best carnal or at its worst demonic.

It is important to be alert to false doctrine, at all times. It is especially needful for a church that has "Systematic Teaching" as its foundation to be on high alert. False doctrine allowed to go unchecked can and often will destroy a Bible teaching church. Almost any Spiritual action can be ...read more

Mind Control 4 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Feb 15, 2006

Please note the last phrase of both verse 28 and 29. Both have to do with this promised “rest”. In verse 28 Christ said “I will give you rest”. Then in verse 29 Christ tells us how we get that rest. Christ says that we will find our “rest” by doing tw

Control Belongs To God

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 22, 2009

God’s choice is not unfair because He owes nothing to sinful man. (God still gives insight, concepts and ideas to mankind) God is free from obligation or constraint in bestowing mercy on people. God loves every person on the face of the earth, and He’s wa

Control Belongs to God Text: Romans 9:14-33 14 Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not! 15 For God said to Moses, “I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.”16 So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it ...read more

Mind Control 5 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Feb 28, 2006

As individual Christians and as a church, we are somewhere in the “middle”. Our game’s not over yet. We don’t have to know the whole story, if we’re convinced there is a story, and if we’re trusting the Author for the conclusion and the “middle”.

Having a proper perspective is imperative to living the Christian life with the "joy" the of the Lord. The big question is HOW do we obtain that proper perspective? Life is a little bit like a good novel. Well-written novels are usually unpredictable. Good authors often do not know how their ...read more

A mature Believer must have the hard steel of discernment and perseverance blended together with the soft steel of humility. True humility is not a groveling, self-despising spirit. It is a right estimate of ourselves, as God sees us.
