    Friends Of God

     | 5,550 views

    There is a war raging between our self-indulgent nature and God. That war sets us at enmity with our brother, shuts the window of heaven and makes us Friends of the world .... and enemies of God. What can we do to avoid this and be friends of God?

    Friends of God James 2:23 James refers to Abraham as, "a friend of God." What a title, what an epitaph. Wouldn't you like to have that said of you? I would. How do we become a friend of God? We will learn that in today's sermon. But first we will look at James's discussion in 4:1-10 He begins ...read more

    Why God Hates All Forms Of Idolatry

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Mar 15, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 21,500 views

    A person seldom considers that his own selfishness can be an idol, as "self" is more important than God. Very few consider that anything, which is more important to a person than obeying God, may be considered an idol.

    Why God Hates All Forms of Idolatry A person may not consider that an automobile, house, certain possessions, a hobby, a person, a political party, a cause, a job, a sport, an addiction, lusts, pleasures, or some other thing, can become an idol. A person may not consider that stubbornness is as ...read more

    The Skeleton At The Feast...

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 11, 2023
     | 1,175 views

    We need to consider the root of the problems we face. From where does strife and trouble come? Anger and bitterness become self feeding skeletons that are so weak they waste opportunities. We must identify strive causers.

    THE SKELETON AT THE FEAST… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube Wade Hughes) I have an old SIFTER I use. TEXT: Proverbs 30:33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. ...read more

    1. We all need hope. 2. Hope is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. 3. Wouldn’t you love to be as self-assured as King David? 4. If any man ever lived on the mountain, it was David.

    I. We all need hope consider David. He Had it all. A. Killed the bear and the lion with his bare hands. B. He had stood in the valley of Elah and killed the giant. C.

    Matthew 7:7-8 speaks directly to our relationship with God and His heart for us - For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

     | 3,449 views

    This exposition of Psalm 84 examines the psalmist's passion for the presence of God, the strength that God supplies to those who rely on him, and the abundant provision for those who serve him with consecration and sincerity.

    Intro This message will illustrate the harmony of Jesus’s Beatitudes with other beatitudes in Scripture. While expounding Psalm 84, we will identify consistencies in the beatitudes declared by the psalmist with some of the beatitudes pronounced by Jesus in Matthew 5.

    The Psalm Of The Two Ways

    based on 196 ratings
     | 13,698 views

    How can we be sure to establish a God-centered life rather than an ungodly life. Psalm 1 is a description of the wicked and the righteous. It describes both the God-centered life and the self-centered life.

    The Psalm Of The Two Ways Psalm 1 I claim little originality for this sermon. Much of this came from a commentary by the late Ray Stedman. Psalm 1 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the ...read more

    Can't Shake Off Mom's Voice

    based on 17 ratings
     | 4,140 views

    Mothers (or parents) communicate an atmosphere as much as they communicate specific ideas; we as children cannot rid ourselves of that atmosphere, good or bad. But faith in God can lift us to a new self-esteem.

    Just about everybody has a story that involves Mom’s voice. Just about anyone can tell you something distinctive about the things Mother used to say. We can remember not only what she said, but also the way she said it, the tone of voice she used. It’s surprising how many of us can remember ...read more

    Jesus healed the deaf/dumb man and then told the people not to tell anyone what they had had just seen. How different He is from the many self-seekers of today’s religious’ world.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,404 views

    We like to think we can support our lives on love alone; but we first need hope, a healthy self-love; and fundamentally need faith, trusting in God’s empowering us.

    With the summer coming on, we began to think about getting our deck ready for some serious use. It was built several years ago and needed a little repair work. Now I had been reading about some problems with deck construction. I had read of decks that had collapsed, and how the building ...read more

     | 24,074 views

    There are two main defects that can effect a Pious Life: (1) they have a mistaken version of Piety as Holy Joe and Mechanical Martin or (2) they knowingly reject Piety for self-fulfillment like Phil the Pharisee.

    After some research I discovered a couple of things that are commonly mistaken for Piety. Piety is not being a quote a Holy Joe We all have are own conception of a Holy Joe, but there are some common basic characteristics. A Holy Joe will go to church, why ( Pause) because their family has ...read more

    Society Or Community

    Contributed by Douglas Turner on Dec 4, 2008

     | 4,082 views

    The description of Community (neighborhood) Community, or Neighborhood, as I use the word today, is a segment within society that transcends self-interest and becomes intentionally intertwined collective of individuals that form a need-meeting, life-chang

    It seems like while I was growing up, the words “neighbor” and “neighborhood” were pretty important. Mom and Dad would always talk about the other “kids in our neighborhood.” We’d have over friends, “from the neighborhood.” The church would get excited if a new family moved “into the ...read more
