    How To Please God

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 23, 2023
     | 1,680 views

    We can’t live up to our own expectations any more than we can live up to everyone else’s demands. For a Christian, the goal is not to please self, but to please God.

    Alba 10-22-2023 HOW TO PLEASE GOD I Thessalonians 2:1-8 Back in 1975 Rick Nelson recorded a song called “Garden Party.” The song tells about the day he learned the truth: "You can’t please everyone." If you remember the TV show, Ozzie and Harriet, you know that Ricky Nelson was one of ...read more

    Jacob Wrestles With God Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,055 views

    Peniel was a place where Jacob reached brokenness. He lost all self-sufficiency and depended completely on God. This was a time for Jacob of genuine soul searching and spiritual struggle. It was also a significant time of knowing God’s grace.

    A profession of faith in Christ is not an end in itself. It is the beginning of a pilgrimage. Along the way there will be defining moments and spiritual highlights. For Jacob his defining moment was at Peniel. The meaning of Peniel is the face of God. Peniel was a place where Jacob reached ...read more

    The Kisses You Do Not Want Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 17, 2013
    based on 114 ratings
     | 36,692 views

    Even back in Bible times (where they did a lot of kissing) there were certain kisses you didn’t want. And the worst kisses were those of enemies and betrayers. How did God say we should deal with people who attempt to deceive as those would?

    (A Poem) Oh, innocent victims of Cupid, Remember this terse little verse To let a fool kiss you is stupid But to let a kiss fool you is worse. (Readers Digest 2/77 p.103) As I noted a couple of weeks ago, the Bible is just filled with kissing. They did a whole lot more kissing back then than we ...read more

    What Lies Beneath A Lie Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on May 19, 2012
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,623 views

    Today we will talk about lying. Our goal is to go beyond the obvious instruction that we should not lie. Our goal is to learn what our lies teach us about the condition of our hearts.

    Sermon Notes May 20, 2012 FBCam “What Lies Beneath a Lie?” Genesis 20:1-18 One of the many pieces of advice we received before our wedding was to save the top tier of your wedding cake and eat and eat it on your first anniversary. We had a tiny little freezer. For one full year, ...read more

    Standing In The Storm

    Contributed by Shawn Miller on Oct 24, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 26,892 views

    The Storm tests our faith and reveals our character, but what separates those who survive it are those who built their hopes on Jesus, not merely hearing but doing what He says.

    Standing in the Storm Introduction: In today's culture the lines that divide what is right and what is wrong are blurred. While there may be ambiguity in the world, there is no ambiguity in the word. The word of God is described as a two edged sword in Hebrews 4:12 It is so sharp it separates ...read more

    The Criticizer

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 19, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,457 views

    This sermon looks at someone who is a criticizer, a person with a judgmental attitude and a critical spirit.

    The Criticizer Matthew 7:1-5 Two taxidermists stopped before a window where an owl was on display. Immediately they criticized the way the owl was mounted. They noted that the eyes were not natural, nor the wings proportionate to its head, and its feathers were not neatly arranged, and its feet ...read more

    Peter's Slow Fade

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Dec 27, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,906 views

    Our failure does not happen suddenly but is the result of a continuous gradual process of self will, arrogance, overconfidence and a refusal to listen to the Lord often preferring to remonstrate with Him and give Him advice!

    Mark 14:27-31 KJV And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. 28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. 29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be ...read more

    Ask God to expand your ministry, influence and witness.

    1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God granted him what he requested. Are you living larger than life ...read more

    The Importance Of Easter

    based on 14 ratings
     | 32,731 views

    No other holiday is as critical to the Christian faith as Easter. The very foundation of Christianity stands or crumbles on the truthfulness of the assertion that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

    The Importance of Easter 1 CORINTHIANS 15:12-19 Introduction: No other holiday is as critical to the Christian faith as Easter.

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Mar 8, 2006
    based on 9 ratings
     | 11,328 views

    The stories of the Rich Young Ruler and of Mary and Martha show that Christians need the discipline of denying self, learning of Christ and following HIm in order to find peace.

    THIS One Thing I DO Philippians 3__13 If a person is even remotely interested in the world around him, has an occupation and a family, his responsibilities and interests quickly out grow his ability to accomplish all that need be done or that he would like to do.

    Master Of Every Situation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on May 20, 2001
    based on 71 ratings
     | 6,995 views

    Paul counters the false expectation of ’prosperity theology’ by giving his readers A Strategy for Living and The Antidote to Self-pity to enable them to be Master of Every Situation.

    MASTER OF EVERY SITUATION I wonder if you’re like me always looking at the barometer - it doesn’t stay in one place very long. Life is very much like that. If I were to draw a graph of my life in terms of feelings and experiences it wouldn’t be a straight line and I suspect many of you would ...read more

    How to Practice Replacement Thinking - Eph. 4:22-24 Someone once said, "Attitude is everything." People with great attitude succeed. Those with negative attitudes fail.

     | 8,093 views

    Deepseated shame and objective guilt arise from a self-serving spirit, but the Cross delivers us from both and frees us to live out of gratitude.

    Mark it down. Memorize this. Engrave it somewhere. It is an ironclad rule. This will always happen: when it is the least convenient for you to respond, someone will want you to respond. When it is nearly impossible for you to get up and do what someone wants you to do, that is the very moment ...read more

    Thanksgiving

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Nov 28, 2003
    based on 30 ratings
     | 40,557 views

    Being thankful is more than simple a self-centered "Thank God for what he has done for ME." It is gratitude to God for his character and faithfulness.

    The story is told of two men were walking through a field one day when they spotted an enraged bull. Instantly they darted toward the nearest fence. The storming bull followed in hot pursuit, and it was soon apparent they wouldn’t make it. Terrified, the one shouted to the other, "Put up a ...read more
