    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 27, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,890 views

    Satan doesn’t want you to think about spiritual things. Rather, he only wants us to dwell on our own selfish desires. Avoid the temptation to delay any thoughts of spiritual self-examination, and make it a priority to encourage others for self-examination

    Opening illustration: During any war, the enemy’s strategy is to conceal/hide some important information from the adversary so that they will not be successful in their endeavor. In fact the enemy will try to subdue the adversary so that they succumb to defeat. The information that they ...read more

    Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Does my attitude reflect the mind of Christ? Or are my actions driven by selfish ambition, pride, or fear? Paul wrote in Philippians 2:5, “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.” These words are a call to radical transformation.

    Go! And… Have the Mind of Christ - Philippians 2:5 Philippians 2:5 (NLT) – “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.” Introduction Today, I want to speak directly to your heart about something that can transform not only your relationship with God but also how you walk in the ...read more

    James O. Davis is the founder and president of Second Billion (TM). You are invited to learn more about Second Billion by visiting www.billion.tv. INTRODUCTION Our text tells us about the Great White Throne judgment in a message we call, “The Throne After the Second Coming.” This is the saddest ...read more

    Mission and missions are not something the Bible merely speaks about – mission and missions are what the Bible is about. Since creation, God has been interested in redeeming all peoples to Himself.

    This may be the only sermon preached against an altar! When God's prophet came to Bethel, some interesting things happened. Something even happened to the altar itself.

    Introduction The Bible records messages proclaimed against many topics. This is especially true in the Old Testament: the prophets spoke about (and against) various kings, nations, and even the nations of Israel and Judah. The text here is unusual because, first, it’s spoken against an altar! So ...read more

    I find this very interesting because so many believe that if we are doing what God wants there should be no problems and everyone should be excited that you are doing the right thing

    “Opposed By The World” Nehemiah 4:1-6 5-21-2023 As we continue to look at prayers in the Bible; I was reading about a great uproar that happened because the Jews were following the Lord.
