    Excess is our problem.

    A familiar scene for us in scripture came early in Jesus’ ministry when a teacher of the law came to talk with Jesus by night. No one would see.

    Eat, Drink, And Be Merry

     | 11,538 views

    When our wants become more important than other people’s needs, we are no longer focused on God or following Jesus. We’re following ourselves in a meaningless cycle to get more things to leave behind when we die.

    Other Scripture used: Ecclesiastes 1:12-14;2:1-23 Psalm 49 Colossians 3:(5-11)12-17 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) There’s an ...read more

    Roadwork Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
     | 5,070 views

    When you think of it, roadwork is a pretty good analogy of the journey of faith. God accepts us where we are but wants us to become like his Son. For most of us, that means there’s serious roadwork to do.

    Road Work Mark 8:34-38 My wife and I used to live Uptown on Octavia Street between Constance and Laurel just two blocks from Tchoupitoulas. At that time, the Port of Orleans was redoing Tchoupitoulas. When the street was dug up, they found that many of the feeder drainage pipes from the ...read more

    Trade Secrets: Trading Old For New Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Aug 13, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,081 views

    In the kingdom of God, Jesus has a trade secret too. It's about trading our old selves for new ones. This trade happens when we encounter God's love and follow Jesus on his way of love. Along this path, we trade our mindset of obligation for a mindset of opportunity.

    Hey guys! Today we're going to talk about something super cool. You know how companies have these things called trade secrets that give them an edge over their competitors? Well, Jesus has a trade secret too. It's all about trading our old selves for new ones. This trade happens when we experience ...read more

    In my arrogance and indignation I have said in effect, "FORGET IT LORD, I'LL DO IT MYSELF!" GOD'S TIMETABLE IS OFTEN NOT MY TIMETABLE. It is not Him that needs to change.

    Part 1 - Genesis 16:1-6 - FORGET IT! I'LL DO IT MYSELF! I remember seeing some shorts to a movie once where a millionaire agrees to pay a couple a million dollars if the wife will sleep with him for one night. What would you do?
