    Dominant Thought: a proper view of things will help us to carry through the command to not steal

    You shouldn’t have been following the car so closely – not on State Street at 5:30 on Friday evening. Maybe they had a brake light out – hard to tell – it all happened so quickly. One minute you’re tooling along thinking about supper, the next you’re watching ...read more

    Not can God build a rock he can't pick up--- but What does it PROFIT a man. Uses a very Kool illustration of profit.

    THE UN-ANSWERABLE QUESTION MARK8:36 ((6631 Tan)) Napoleon's Impossible Story Napoleon often told this story: Once, while visiting a province he came on an old soldier with one arm severed, dressed in full uniform.

    Haggai - Establishing Priorities Series

     | 16,071 views

    Haggai awakens the people from their complacency. Establish the priorities and make God the centre of their lives. Recognise the source of their blessings and trust God their Giver. Restore to God His due glory.

    Haggai is the 2nd shortest book in the OT, after Obadiah (last Sunday). • We are down to the last 3 books of the Minor Prophets and also the last 3 chronologically – Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. • Haggai and Zechariah spoke to the Israelites after their return from captivity, challenging the ...read more

    We celebrate Thanksgiving, but do we live it?

    Today would be a wonderful day for Americans to take stock of themselves and just count their blessings and then shut up. We are the whiniest bunch of louts to be found. Our poorest are richer than a great many people in the world for indeed I know of very few places in the world where the poor ...read more

    Core 52 Week 21 - What Do I Do With My Money? Series

    Contributed by Lanny Smith on May 24, 2020
     | 1,974 views

    It's a common complaint about pastors and churches: "All they ever do is talk about money." The reality is we rarely talk specifically about money. Both Old & New Testaments have a LOT to say about money and possessions. Let's hear Jesus' heart for us on the topic of money.

    You can hear the audio of this sermon on my podcast at: https://www.buzzsprout.com/697261/3897275 Core 52 Week 21 - What About My Money? • Common complaint in churches: All they talk about is money. Truth is the average N. American church generally has a short series on money/giving about 1/year. ...read more

    Do You Want Earthly Or Heavenly Treasures?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 21, 2021
     | 2,144 views

    Did Jesus say that we receive Earthly treasures by following Him? The answer is no. We do receive treasures in Heaven. You will want to look at my Hebraic Analysis of Mark 10:28-31 to see why the Greek and English translation of verse 30 may not be exactly what Jesus said.

    Do you want Earthly or Heavenly Treasures? Mark 10:28-31 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You." 29 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father ...read more

    We can lust for money or worry about it. Either way, Jesus has something encouraging to say about both.

    We can lust for money or worry about it. Either way, Jesus has something encouraging to say about both. 1. Materialism Is our attitude towards wealth one of the Spirit or of the world?

    Less Is More

    Prosperity gospel is a very popular Christian movement today. It states that God will always bless you with good health and material wealth if you ask Him. That's FALSE!! Good health is NOT guaranteed and material wealth will NEVER get you into heaven.

    One of the largest and more popular movements in the last 30+ years in the Christian Church is a form of theology called prosperity gospel. Let’s define what it is first. According to the website, Wikipedia; prosperity theology is a religious belief among some Protestant Christians that financial ...read more

    Prostitute Wages

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 11, 2024
     | 838 views

    It may not be physical idols but when you forego prayer, Bible and close walk with God and give more importance to 'salary, promotion and making money' then God calls it prostitute wages.

    Hosea 9:1 "Do not rejoice, Israel; do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to your God; you love the wages of a prostitute at every threshing floor." " You love the wages of a prostitute" are very strong words against believers who live a double ...read more

    Blessings Of The Freedom Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 26, 2022
     | 2,224 views

    According to Prophet Isaiah, anointing leads to preaching, anointing helps to bind up the broken-hearted, and anointing motivates to proclaim the good news to the captives. Anointing releases the prisoners from the darkness.

    Theme: Blessings of Freedom Text: Isaiah 61:1-11 Introduction: The first and foremost larger prophetic book of Isaiah reveals the Secret of Freedom is the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. The anointing is the empowerment of a new life, and new vision. This is the prophecy about the work of Christ ...read more

    Your Overlooked Sin

    Israel was caught unaware, as they were cheering the judgement of the nations around them. Amos points his finger to the covenant people Israel. He charges them of their own overlooked sins deserving judgement.

    It shocks everyone. These crimes are so heinous: • Russian soldiers’ murder, torture, looting, rape against Ukrainian women, threats of violence, and inhumane treatment of POWs. • In Myanmar a massive wave of violence broke out in Rakhine State, forcing more than 700,000 people - half of them ...read more

    Jesus equips disciples to transform their lives by disentangle ourselves from the materialistic thinking and practise of the world and entangling ourselves in service to our Saviour.

    When we look at our possessions we need to see where Jesus stands among them.

    Matt. 13:44-46 HOW MUCH IS GOD WORTH? (The Parables of the Pearl and the Treasure) These two parables are like twins. They are very similar but they also have marks of individuality. They both teach the truth that the supreme blessing, the priceless discovery in life, is the discovery of God. ...read more
