    Struggling To Know Who We Are Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 14, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,902 views

    Like Hosea's children, we name our selves by our sad history, by our isolation, and by our alienation. But in Christ our Brother all these defects are remedied.

    A good many of us, I would guess, are less than happy with our names. What Mom and Dad decided to call us before we had a voice in the matter. Well, I suspect a good many of us would like to change. Some of us just refuse to use our real names. We go by Butch or Bud or Sissie or some such ...read more

    Winning The War... With Humility Series

    Contributed by Steven Buhr on Mar 27, 2008
    based on 16 ratings
     | 24,498 views

    Being a Christian is not a hat we wear, and then take off when it’s convenient or uncomfortable. It’s not a fake ID we show at the pearly gates of heaven or a ‘get out of hell free’ card. Being a Christian is a full-time, life time commitment to the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ.

    James 4:1-10 – Winning the War, with Humility ‘Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it — his bottle, his mother’s attention, his playmate’s toy, his uncle’s watch. Deny him these once, and he seethes with rage ...read more

    Cowardice keeps us from a relationship with God. Rekindle God’s gifts: power to make a difference, love that stays by those in need, and self-discipline to choose a lifestyle of ministry. Luther Rice Memorial Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD

    Are you that rare person who married your first love and you are still just as much in love today as you were at first sight? If you are such a creature, I salute you, but there are not many like you. When I attended Betty Noe’s funeral here not long ago, it was said that she was Hulon’s first ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,516 views

    Christ is our shepherd, because we are prone as sheep to wander about in pursuit of pleasure, and be devoured by our passions.

    Tuesday of 4th Week of Easter May 5, 2009 “If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” So Jesus talks about sheep. As the Jews of His day–and ours, for that matter–saw it, Jesus never talked plainly. But that wasn’t Jesus’ problem with the Jews, or us, for that matter. Our problem is that Jesus ...read more

    Intro: On Friday, July 29, 2005, Fox News ran the following story: Some Seek Alternatives to 'Til Death Do Us Part' Friday, July 29, 2005 By Jennifer D'Angelo In some weddings, "'til death do us part" is going the way of "to honor and obey" — that is, out the window.

    Prayer - Pharisee Or Publican

     | 4,513 views

    This message talks about the differences in the prayer of the Pharisee and the Publican.

    Text: “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed” (Mark 1:35). Was there a time in your life when you got up early while it was still dark, left the house to find a quiet secluded place where only ...read more

     | 5,136 views

    Just as four friends of a paralytic cut through a roof of clay, manure, and twigs to get closer to Jesus, we need to be honest and cut the crap in our lives that is separating us from Christ. It is the things that separate us from God that Jesus died to

    6 Mark – Cut the Crap Mark 2:1-12 It has taken the first five weeks to get through the first chapter of Mark. In the first chapter we have seen Mark establish:  Who Jesus is – The Holy one of God  That Jesus didn’t just come for Religious types, but all ...read more

    God's Tender Mercies

     | 5,820 views

    God does discipline His children who approach the Lord’s Table with unholy attitudes. This is does as an act of love. If we were properly evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged.

    1 CORINTHIANS 11:31, 32 GOD’S TENDER MERCIES “If we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. When we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.” No doubt the title of the message appears strange to some people. How can discipline be ...read more

    It isn’t how much you give to the work of the church that matters. It is how much you keep for yourself that concerns God.

    August 1989: If we want to be lifted up out of our unhappiness through worship, we must bring our whole selves to the worship experience and must pray passionately even our negative wishes.

    I recently became aware that some folks shop for a church much as you would shop for a car or a home appliance. In talking with some people about joining our church, they said that they were shopping – that’s their word, not mine -- that they were shopping for a church by systematically attending ...read more

     | 19,867 views

    When people reject God's ways or God's truth, the only way remaining is the way of sin & selfishness. As people get further involved in sin, their sin inhibits their willingness & ability to form right judgments about life.

    ROMANS 1: 28-32 ABANDONED TO A DEPRAVED LIFESTYLE This section addresses the havoc that occurs in human relationships and in society because of mankind's suppressing of the knowledge of God (1:18).
