    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,808 views

    A call to worship begins with a return to understanding that we worship a holy God. The realization of God’s character and holiness reveals our true self. His majesty is life-changing and gives meaning to our life, despite our shame.

    6 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to ...read more

     | 8,138 views

    We love because we belong to God and that's what he does. God's love is sacrificial, self-giving. It's a love that's seen in the way we love because we're his body here on earth.

    Well we saw last week how important it is for us to love one another and here he says it again, but this time with an added couple of reasons. God is Love Twice in this passage he tells us “God is love.” Last week the motivation for loving God and remaining faithful to the gospel was ...read more

     | 3,970 views

    The world’s values do not last for eternity, they are self-centered and empty. John’s cry to the believer here is asking, “Who do you live for?” Will we love and live for God or ourselves?

    To Love is God’s Commandment 1 John Bible Study, Part 4 1 John 2:7-17 Introduction - Last week, John gave us tremendous insight into living fully for Christ • We have an Advocate • We must live for Him • God makes us complete - V4 is the confirmation of this ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 22,450 views

    In sharing God's great commandment we must understand how to love ourselves and love others. By seeing ourselves in God's mirror we are better able to have a spiritual self love and thereby live a life of love for God and others.

    Scripture: Mark 12:28-34; Psalms 146 and Hebrews 9:11-14 Theme: Seeing Yourself as God Sees You Proposition: In Sharing the Great Commandment, Jesus focuses on our love for God, our love for others and our love for ourselves.

    based on 56 ratings
     | 63,591 views

    Where do you find your "self-worth"? Is it in God, or in yourself? The Pharisees looked for their importance in themselves and ended up robbing God of His glory to gain their own. How can avoid the traps that ensnared these highly religious leaders?

    OPEN: "Sometime, when you're feeling important Sometime, when your ego's in bloom Sometime when you take it for granted, You're the best qualified man in the room.

    Jesus wants us to reflect on what we want to happen when He returns and to prepare our self for it right now. If you want to be prepared for Christ’s return you must prepare yourself through faithfulness.

    "Not Guilty"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 9, 2013
     | 4,374 views

    Guilt can be self-inflicted. Not all guilt comes from God. And there can be times when you or I have committed a sin and we feel guilty so we pray and ask for forgiveness and we still feel guilty.

    “Not Guilty” Psalm 32:1-11 I have noticed in the last year or so that on certain menus in restaurants and on certain items in the grocery store that they now offer certain food items that are “guilt free.” This also may mean they are taste free. I mean let’s face ...read more

    Is homosexuality the gravest sin of all? Isn't arrogance, pride, and self-exaltation at the root of all our sin? We must repent of the sin that contaminates us even as followers of the Christ if we wish to receive His blessing.

     | 354 views

    There are 5 more separate laments here. The survivors are desolate and can find none to help or comfort. The nation admits its guilt and isolation as Judah was forsaken. The heart of the people was overturned as was God who had to do this. (Don't dismiss because it is Lamentations).

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 5 – DESOLATE PLEADING HANDS AS I ADMIT MY OWN GUILT- – CHAPTER 1:16-20 We are working through the book of Lamentations, a sad and sorrowful book but one that contains much valuable instruction.
