    This lesson explains why Christians sin and offers several practical, scriptural steps in avoiding sin.

    Why Do Christians Sin? Introduction 1. Speaking of man generally, the Scriptures state the following fact: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23) "For there is not a righteous man on earth, that does good continually, and never sins."

    Is it possible for a disobedient child of God to "push" their Heavenly Father too far? Scripture says it is.

    THE POINT OF NO RETURN I Jn. 5:16 INTRO. I am told that swinging out over the waters that go down to the Niagara Falls are several warning signs, each warning you to turn around or be swept over the falls. Finally a last sign reads, "Beyond this sign is the point of no return!" We live in an ...read more

    Scriptures should always be looked at with a fresh set of eyes so that new insights can be seen.

    I’ve heard the story before. I mean I know it backwards and forwards, I can probably tell it in my sleep. Do I have really have to hear it again, let alone preach on it? Heck, there is even a song about it, “We three kings of orient are; bearing gifts we traverse afar, la la la la la la lalala ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Goodfellow on Oct 7, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,374 views

    A look at Hebrews use of Scripture to prove his difficulties, and our need to use the same source.

    The title of today’s message is “Christ superior to the angels.” To us this may seem to be a very obvious statement. Of course, Christ is superior to the angels, because of what we believe about him, what we have been taught about him. But in the first century, to the community that the author of ...read more

     | 1,257 views

    No Doubt, Jesus Is Superior to all. A study of the Scriptures declares this. Let’s examine why!

    Introduction We come now to our third and final presentation of the Superiority of the Savior. What constitutes His Superiority is what separates the Have’s with the Have Not’s! Let’s review: Pt. 1 says, He Is Superior because of His Person. Pt. 2 says He is Superior because of His Power and now ...read more

     | 19,332 views

    The "Motive" of Christ’s death on the cross is fairly clear in Scripture... but there are people who are offended by that message.

    OPEN: (We started the sermon playing the theme music for "CSI Miami". Then commented:) Some of you may be asking “What in the world was that?” That was the theme music from the hit TV show “CSI Miami”. There’s CSI, CSI Miami, and CSI New York… and for the next few weeks we’re going to be ...read more

    Jesus changes the attitude of the disciples on the way to Emmaus with the expounding of Scriptures - showing them and us hope.

    There are experts in the field who tell you how to shake a hand, how to walk, how to talk, to try to look more confident, more assured - more impressive.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 15,926 views

    Of all the things scripture expresses concern about, it is "deception" among God’s crown creation.

    Matthew, Mark and Luke record an interesting verbal interchange between Jesus and His disciples. It concerns the “end of days.” They asked Him, “tell us about the sign of the end.” Jesus’ initial response was almost ominous, “watch that no one deceive you”… Have you ever been deceived? How did ...read more

    Some churches claim that tongues is the initial evidence of the Holy Spirit, what do the Scriptures teach?

    Is Tongues the Initial Evidence of The Holy Spirit?
