    If I am going to do battle for peace and justice, I need appropriate equipping -- sometimes for hard work, sometimes for self-defense, and always for a teachable spirit.

    There may be some things of which it can be said that one size fits all, but shoes are not among them. Shoes are very personal, and when they’re wrong, they’re wrong. If they hurt, they hurt. With some things, you can make do with the wrong size – a belt that’s too long, pants that are a bit ...read more

     | 5,061 views

    A sermon about self centredness. The first in a series of anti-sermons where they tell people to do the opposite of what they are suppose to. Kind of blatant reverse psychology.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,157 views

    A "self-assessment " type sermon with the intent to have the listeners do a personal examination of where they are spiritually at this point in time. As the cliche' says, "Expect what you inspect"

    WAYS YOU CAN LEAVE CHURCH * INTRODUCTION A. Ever notice how much emphasis is placed on Entrances? An “Entrance” is filled with anticipation, expectation, and potential. 1. Red Carpet and limousines 2. Boxing – entourage 3. Movie – 15 minutes of build-up 4. ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,344 views

    Addictive behaviors are sins that we simply ought not to start; and they are sicknesses that stem from low self-esteem. Christ is able to deliver from both sin and sickness.

    When washday comes at our house, I go on alert. I go on alert for a certain noise.

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 30, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,295 views

    The rich young ruler’s question was off-base. It assumes that we can do one overriding deed to win God over; it is possessive; and it is self-centered.

    I am not very good at giving gifts. I just have a hard time, when Christmas and birthdays and anniversaries roll around, a hard time giving the right gifts. It’s not that the folks I want to give to are picky or unworthy; it’s just that I can’t seem to figure out what they want and get it. For ...read more

    The key idea in this passage is that God is willing to restore those who call on him, even through a variety of circumstances—wandering, self-inflicted pain, or rebellion in this case.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • What do you tend to do when things in life get difficult? Where do you run, to whom or what do you turn? • One lesson I have learned in life is who I need to turn to when I need deliverance and who to thank! • We are entering the Thanksgiving holiday season. • Today we ...read more
