    Everyone has issues. God is the solution.

    Several weeks we discovered that everybody has ISSUES! I’ve got ‘em! You’ve got ‘em! We’ve got ‘em! As we started our series we first discovered that God cares for us … 1 Peter 5:7: “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you” (NLT). A couple of weeks ago ...read more

     | 7,640 views

    This sermon is in a series on fruit of the Spirit, namely The Character of a Christian: Self Control.

    I. I have really enjoyed preaching this series on the "fruits" (character) of a Christian, and then I came down to this last one and read it again "Self Control". I sort of did one of those Lucille Ball takes (uggh!) on it! Like it is easy for me to talk about joy, and love, and peace, but "self ...read more

     | 12,306 views

    The third in a series of messages on the complete sufficiency of the Gospel.

Some theologians and Christian authors have resorted to creative and often impressive mental gymnastics in their attempts to reconcile these two scriptural ideas: (1) the old ...read more

    Come: To A Harvested Self

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 5, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,634 views

    Evil and good live side by side, so we need to accept our sinfulness in order to receive our salvation. God in Christ takes on Himself the penalty we should receive.

    It would seem that the negative things in life grow of their own accord, but that the good things, positive things, take a lot of work. If you are at all a pessimist, you will agree that bad things, destructive things, just happen. Nobody has to make them happen. They happen on their own. But good ...read more

    We need strong accountability in the "free" age in which we walk. If we would apply self evaluation we would not need others to correct us. It is easy to fall into bad habits.
