    If you think on your wants’ long enough, they will become a Need!

    The Bible says the eyes of man are never satisfied. This curse of want is never being satisfied with the Lord’s blessings.

    How do you know if you have only a head knowledge of Christ or are truly born again? Is there merit or value in questioning one’s salvation? The Bible gives the reason for self examination and the measures to use.

    SELF-EXAMINATION: A SPIRITUAL CHECKUP 2 CORINTHIANS 13:1-6 (DISCERNING HEAD KNOWLEDGE FROM HEART RELATIONSHIP) Introduction: Recently I was asked, "How does one know whether one merely has a head knowledge of Christ or has been truly born again and has a true heart relationship with the Lord Jesus ...read more

    Sometimes the challenge human beings face is overcoming their own pride.

    Read Text: Luke 18:9-14 It has been one of the watch words of the past 10+ years. All sorts of societal ills have been blamed on the tendency of people to consider themselves more soberly than they ought. We’ve heard the catch-phrases, low self-esteem, a poor self-image. I have heard statistics ...read more

    The church can speak scripture. Yet it masks immorality

    A man walked up to a vending machine, put in a coin, pressed the buttons labeled, “coffee, double cream, sugar.” No cup appeared, but the nozzles went into action sending forth coffee, cream and sugar. After the proper amounts had gone down the drain, the machine turned off. “Now that’s real ...read more

    Bowing To The Great Idol Of Self

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Jan 13, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,258 views

    The OT has a lot of interesting stories about idolatry, but is that really just a problem of the past? This sermon addresses the very real problem that our culture has in worshiping our own desires above all else.

    To the reader: What inspired this sermon was a quote I read in R.C. Ortlund’s book, When God Comes To Church, p. 194. "Self is the great idol standing at the center of our conceptual world, to which all bow low. We even have a duty-to-self ethic, as if self-denial were harmful, immoral, and ...read more

     | 5,694 views

    Knowing more about Samson’s life offers us a wider scope of understanding regarding the danger of self-confidence and spiritual leniency.

    Self-confidence is a misplaced reliance and it is offensive before the sight of God. Its deceitfulness is being revealed from generation to generation and sorrowfully experienced by its trapped victims. Samson, the strongest man who ever lived, is a warning example for all those who dare to put ...read more
