    Walking In God’s Love

    Contributed by Laren Whaley on Feb 15, 2012
     | 9,345 views

    Because God has loved us and received us as one of His own we must move and live in that love. The world ‘s definition of love is not love at all. The world around us always asks what’s in it for me and always centers on self-first, then maybe others.

    Walking In God’s Love 1 Corinthians 13:1 - 13 (NKJV) 1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, ...read more

    Tonight I want to preach on Gluttony and give you a Scriptural picture of what it is and how we need to make sure it is not a part of our lives, as followers of Christ.

    For Senior Adult Sunday: There are legitimate concerns about aging; but there are also those who would prey on the elderly. God is our ultimate refuge and the protector of those who are to be valued, not thrown away.

    If it’s old, it has to go. That used to be the message. In the years after World War II, once we got our economy back on a peacetime basis, we all wanted only new things. Bright, shiny, new. And so, if it’s old, it has to go. Do you remember? Do you remember, if you go back that far, how, during ...read more

    We like to think we can support our lives on love alone; but we first need hope, a healthy self-love; and fundamentally need faith, trusting in God’s empowering us.

    With the summer coming on, we began to think about getting our deck ready for some serious use. It was built several years ago and needed a little repair work.

    It is an act not of juggling balls on a stage, but of carrying eggs from a barn.

    A yoke is a wooden frame fitted on working animals to evenly balance the load on each individual animal and allow them to work as a team. Jesus wears the yoke and we are yoked to him. A teacher read to her class the text, “My yoke is easy.” “Who can tell me what a yoke is?” she asked. A boy ...read more

    Authenticity before God begins with self-examination, proceeds to self-disclosure, and involves trusted advisors.

    National Baptist Memorial Church, Washington, DC March 13, 2005 The issue is not an academic discussion as to whether there is a God. Relatively few doubt or debate that. The issue is not whether God is real, but whether we know how to get real with God. Let me play out a little scene with ...read more

    In these verses is a list of virtues that should be growing in the life of the believer. They are best translated by referring to moral excellence, practical wisdom, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and unselfish love.

    In this sermon I try to awaken a sense of urgency, both for unbelievers and professed believers alike, to examine our spiritual lives and see our immediate need for an intimate, saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

    Mango Of Meekness Series

    Contributed by James Westervelt on Mar 30, 2002
    based on 154 ratings
     | 12,206 views

    This is what Biblical meekness is all about: "Strength under control," "being unoccupied with self and genuinely concerned for God and others." It is the exact opposite of "self-assertiveness" and "self-interest."

    THE MANGO OF MEEKNESS Intro: A mango is a tropical fruit which hasn’t really "caught on" like the orange, the pineapple or the banana. For those who have acquired a taste for it, it’s sweet and delicious. But for those who haven’t, it’s "different" enough to taste "funny." ...read more

    When does a Pardon have Value? Luke 15:1-10, The sheep was lost because it may have foolishly wandered away; the coin was lost through no fault of its own. The neighbors and friends were called because the lost was found; the valued was back in their hands. Luke 15: 11-24 These are parables that ...read more
