    Finding Contentment In A World Built For Greed Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Oct 19, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,435 views

    It was Bob Dylan who said, everybody worships something and he was right. Many times, that has led to the drive for more. The more we have, the more we want, and when that doesn’t bring happiness we want all the more.

    Finding Contentment in a World Built for Greed Luke 12:13-15, 20-21 The goal of the Game of Life is to get married, have kids, and try to accumulate as much wealth as possible so that you can become a millionaire. It teaches the lesson that the one with the most toys wins. The Game of Life portrays ...read more

    Are You Ready for Some Fun in the Son! 1 Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints, 2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year. 2 Corinthians 9:1-2 This is the time of ...read more

    Love and life are two sides of the same coin, that where love is life springs up, and life is a sign that love has been there.

    This week the flowers decorating the altar are poinsettias. Do you know why? Pepita was a poor Mexican girl who had no gift to present the Christ Child at Christmas Eve services. As she walked to the chapel with her cousin Pedro, her heart was filled with sadness rather than joy. “I am sure, ...read more

    The Lord desires that His people take Him seriously, but that they not take themselves too seriously.

    He wants them to wipe off their grim looks, put smiles on their faces, and let laughter flow from their lips. As we learned in the previous sermon: • The world can give us happiness because happiness comes from WITHOUT. • Only God can give us JOY because joy comes from WITHIN. When the lost world ...read more

    God goes before me! How many of you are dealing with “something” right now? How many of you are dealing with something BIG right now?? I know we have a lot of people that have something going on right now and have stuff that they have gone through. Anyone desperate for a word or just a handful ...read more

    In a world of Extreme life, we as Christians can live Extreme also

    EXTREME LIVING Attitude is Everything (All my sermons use illustrations from Sermon Central and all Scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) In our world there seems to be a need to take things to another level.

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 24, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,106 views

    This message covers the first six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 1).” The words of Jesus seen in our passage today are called “The Beatitudes,” and this does not mean “beautiful attitudes,” even though this phrase might have catchy ring. “The Beatitudes are blessed sayings.”(1) “The ...read more

    Subject: Weathering the Storms of Life Text: Acts 27:20-44 “The terrible storm raged for many days, blotting out the sun and the stars, until at last all hope was gone. 21 No one had eaten for a long time.

    A message comparing the horrifying attributes of hell to the wondrous goodness of heaven.

    I read a news article the other day that said over 50% of society believes in a heaven, but less than 40% believe in a hell. There is a discrepancy in those numbers because everyone wants to go someplace good, and we all recognize that heaven is a good place. Likewise, we do not want to go any ...read more

    God is above, and yet our tears fall into His bosom. The tears have much weight in them, and are pressing upon God. He will visit you, wipe your tears and make you laugh again.
