    Proper Planning Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 15, 2009
    based on 21 ratings
     | 28,160 views

    This section warns against self-centered planning. Worldly living is not displayed only by a disbelief in God, sometimes it’s apparent in the disregarding of God as we plan our life & our daily activities.

    JAMES 4:11-17 PROPER PLANNING [Luke 12:16-21] It is too easy for Christians to make plans and set goals, expecting God to fall in line behind them. It is easy to plan our lives as if we controlled the future and had unlimited authority over the factors that affect our life. And so, in reality ...read more

    Letting Go

    We LET GO of Sin…Self…Schedule in order that we can LET GOD be exalted! I used this sermon as a springboard for See You At The Pole. We also used alot of video illustrations.

    Letting Go Open with DVD – Visual Reality: Volume 6; “Be Still” Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” BE STILL in the Hebrew can also be translated, “let go”. In other words quit holding on to things that keep you ...read more

    We often live in bondage when as followers of Christ we have been set free. Learn again to declare your independence from the law of sin and shame, from self, and from Satan.

    Our Declaration of Independence (Gal. 5:1, 13-14) 235 years ago tomorrow the Declaration of Independence was signed. It was a day in which the thirteen colonies of New England finally decided to break from their motherland and begin their journey as an independent nation. It certainly wasn’t ...read more

    Dying To Live Series

    based on 38 ratings
     | 27,574 views

    No Christian continues in habitual sin who has by faith died to self and received the new life of Christ. Those who have died to sin are alive to God & it becomes possible for them to live for Christ.

    ROMANS 6:1-7 DYING TO LIVE [Galatians 2:20] [We now begin a new section of Romans that deal with the doctrine of sanctification or the Christlike growth of disciples.] The Bible has just declared that where sin abounded, God's grace super abounded. What wonderful news this is! It means that no ...read more

    King Asa, Seek. Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 20,029 views

    The first of two sermons about king Asa of 2nd Chronicles. This is about seeking after God in a way that is internal, self searching as well as external. The listener is asked, "are we honest with ourselves?"

    King Asa: Seek. 2 Chronicles 15:1-9 In the early days of the Kingdom of Israel there were three relatively successful kings, being King Saul, King David and King Solomon. Solomon was succeeded by his son King Rehoboam who was a hard and dictatorial king. It was under his reign that the kingdom of ...read more

    When One Is Better Than A Crowd

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,033 views

    The church is one body and not many and yet unity is often hindered by such "diseases" as pride, self-sufficiency, ignorance and laziness. To "heal" we need first to die to ourselves and surrender to Christ who will change us.

    This week I heard devastating news from a friend of mine who will soon be ordained as a pastor. His son was just diagnosed with cancer. This is a young man, 18 years old, graduating from high school in just a few months and having to now face stage three cancer. It’s heart wrenching – ...read more

    The view of God should show our need for true cleansing and a genuine desire to tell people about the Lord. The Holiness of God requires: True worship, self-examination, extreme cleansing, and willing servants.

    Homiletical Bridge Isaiah 6:1-8 Prior Context: Israel has been warned that mere sacrifices without true repentance was what the Lord wanted. Immediate Context: The great king Uzziah has died. Isaiah and Israel had seen king Uzziah be a great leader but he was still a man. The Lord shows Isaiah ...read more

    Jehovah Shalom - God Is Peace Series

     | 12,874 views

    Fear is a self-preservation instinct -- it's designed to protect us from something that may cause us real or imagined harm. But Jesus says in Matthew not to fear death, but to fear God. What's the difference?

    Jehovah Shalom - God of Peace Fear is a constant in our world. It’s so immersed in our culture that sometimes it’s actually considered a psychiatric issue, complete with fancy descriptive terms! I thought it may be interesting to read some of these to you tonight. Some seem normal, but ...read more

    Discovering A Biblical Worldview Series

    Contributed by John Dixon on Feb 14, 2016
     | 4,483 views

    The Christian Worldview has permeated all of Western Civilization. The impact of Christian thought is the source of the freedoms that we enjoy. To separate Biblical truth from our society is to doom our culture to self-destruction.

    Matthew 5:13-20 NASB 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be ...read more

    I Love The Lord Because...

    based on 5 ratings
     | 31,895 views

    Christianity is not a “What’s in it for me?” religion. The Bible views thanks-giving as the sincere overflow of gratitude for all that God has given to us. Thanks-giving is not self-centered; it’s God-centered.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK Text: Psalm 116:1-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ILL. “What can I do for you, Madam?” Abraham Lincoln asked an elderly lady who had been ushered into his office.

    Synopsis: Because we are in the Heart of God, there are certain things He does not do. Jesus never: 1. Asked for the Details of Our Sins 2. Rewards the Self-Serving 3. Turned Down an Invitation

    1. “Never” has powerful implications a. Intentions of finality – “I’ll never do that again.” “Never in a million years.” b. Intentions of determination – [Winston Churchill once spoke at a commencement address several years after WWII. He walked to the podium and said, “Never, never, never give ...read more

    The Character Of A Disciple: A God Inspired Life Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 14,153 views

    God wants us to be people of love and joy and peace. He wants to breathe into us the qualities of generosity, integrity, humility, and self-discipline. The disciples of Christ are “inspired” people ... Inspired by God's Holy Spirit.

    Let’s go back to the beginning of this chapter … back to verse 1 (Philippians 2:1-5): “If then there is any encouragement in Christ … any consolation from love … any sharing in the Spirit … any compassion and sympathy … make my joy complete … be of the same mind … having the same love … being in ...read more

     | 2,170 views

    Transfiguration of Jesus is a spiritual experience for the Disciples. We can't stay in ecstatic realms but come into reality of struggles and fight for the existence of self and others. Jesus always leads into every level of life.

    Lesson 13 Mark 9:2-13 Transfiguration in Mark INTRODUCTION The Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate it as a festival on August 6. It was declared a universal feast of the Western church by Pope Callistus III in 1457. The feast was included in the English Prayer Book in 1561 ...read more
