    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Nov 24, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,234 views

     | 4,085 views

    Contentment is the key to overcoming consumerism and materialism. Contentment comes from learning to be thankful, thrifty, generous, and focused.

    A. I hope that everyone had a happy Thanksgiving Day! We surely did. 1. We all have so much to be thankful for, don’t we? 2. One teacher asked her students to write a composition entitled “What I’m thankful for on Thanksgiving.” 3. One boy wrote, “On Thanksgiving, I’m thankful that I’m not a ...read more

    Peter had to have the hell burnt out of him. He underwent a process of purgation - the purging of sin. There is nothing redeeming about sin. If you need a good list of what sin is - this is the sermon.

    we are in the third week of a series called “eternity is now in session.” Essentially worth talking about the fact that eternal life doesn’t begin “out there” when we get to heaven, it begins now in God’s purpose is to get heaven into us. It starts with following him. Leaving behind all other ...read more
