    The Last Three 'fruit Of The Spirit': Faithfulness, Gentleness And Self-Control

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 5, 2023
     | 2,030 views

    How can we be more like God? By demonstrating God's character. We look at three more wonderful qualities of God that the Holy Spirit wants to produce in us.

    INTRODUCTION Today, we’re having the last in our series on the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. We’re going to look at the last three fruit in Paul’s list: faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. I thought I’d do something a bit different to usual today. I’m going to look at three true ...read more

    Anger Is A Threat To Self-Control (12th Sunday After Pentecost 2024)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 8, 2024
     | 853 views

    One of those weapons that Satan has used very well through all generations is “fits of anger” (see Galatians 5:20 ESV). I once read a sentence sermon that went like this: "He who angers you controls you".

    ANGER IS A THREAT TO SELF-CONTROL Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2 Ephesians 4:25-32  So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another.  (26)  Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ...read more

    This is an "Absolutely Dangerous Doctrine!" Being a sold out Christian for the Lord...denying ones self.

    A.D.D.: ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS DOCTRINE! State: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is ?Something To Die For?. Definition of Dangerous: ?Likely to cause harm, not safe, risky.? This is what we as Christians can be to satan?s kingdom. Dangerous and very likely to cause harm to it. We are the church and ...read more

    A message on how we tend to ignore small "sins" and think they are acceptable to God.

    OUR HIDDEN SINS Acts 26:26 Numbers 32:23 Genesis 44:16 INTRO: There are many things which we do that we think is secret from ev erybody. We may have thoughts that aren’t clean, we may gossip about some one, we may use some language ...read more

     | 4,502 views

    The Tale of the Two “I” Exams 1) “See me, God? I’m not like him.” 2) “Save me, God! I’m not like you.”

    When is the last time you had an eye exam? Eye care experts recommend that we should have our eyes checked every one to three years depending on age, risk factors, and physical condition (allaboutvision.com). Regular eye exams are important because experts estimate that one in four school-age ...read more

    Brokenness

    Powerful message teaching the real meaning of brokenness. God desires the sacrifice of a broken and contrite heart.

    God desires the sacrifice of a broken and contrite heart. Pride or independence is the antithesis of true brokenness Brokenness is about our will being totally submitted to God. Out of brokenness the glory and presence of God is revealed. ...read more

    The Waters Of Maribah Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,175 views

    We can take events and opportunities to serve God, these things that are about God, and we can make them about us. When we do, the power of God, the holiness of God is lost on the very people we are attempting to serve in the name of God.

    I have been building a deck in my backyard this summer, right now I am placing the finishing touches on it. Before I built my deck, I looked through different deck plans, and compared the different kinds of deck materials and figured out pretty much what I needed. Then I went to three different ...read more

    Wanted: Dead And Alive

     | 5,279 views

    Things should become different in our lives once we renounce our former life of sin and selfishness. Our union with Christ enables us to live our lives completely for Him.

    Wanted: Dead and Alive Romans 6:1-13 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were ...read more

    Babel

    The sin of pride, self-glory, provoked the building of the tower, and the sin of distrust led these people away. God can take our confusion and replace it with clarity.

    (The actual title of the sermon is: ""Wir steigen hinab und vewirren ihre Sprache") When you scanned the bulletin this morning you may have been a bit confused about my sermon title…"What in the world is this about?" And you’d have some idea of how the world felt at Babel. "Wir ...read more

    The Younger Women

     | 9,704 views

    Not women only, but all who are placed in the congregation of the Lord, are called to consider how to live so as to honour God.

    “As for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so ...read more

    Dumb Dogs Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013
     | 8,057 views

    Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

    Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more

    The Christian, and especially the elder of the church, is engaged in a lifelong campaign. He must prepare the next generation to enter into the conflict.

    “This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith, among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I ...read more

    Lust & Chastity Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,236 views

    A Christian view of sexuality. Lust happens when attraction becomes an overpowering factor in one's life. Chastity is a positive lifestyle marked by self-control.

    A cartoon depicts two guys in Hell, and one says to the other: “I was under the impression that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” All of the deadly sins we’ve been studying are distorted or excessive attachments to good things. We make them bad. When life revolves around ...read more
