    Be Wise About Self-Control Series

    Contributed by David Owens on May 13, 2024
     | 1,586 views

    Proverbs has a lot to say about self-control as it relates to a number of things. But one of the most important areas we need to learn to exercise control is in the area of anger. Anger will destroy us without proper self-control.

    A. I was recently reminded about an old story about Billy Martin and Mickey Mantle that I think is a good launching point for today’s sermon. 1. The story goes like this: One day Mickey Mantle took his friend and teammate, Billy Martin, with him to hunt on another friend’s ranch. 2. When they ...read more

     | 1,437 views

    Anger is dangerous is because it can hinder the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22 -23) if it is left unchecked. Paul warns us not to let the sun go down our anger in Ephesians 4:26.

    ANGER IS A THREAT TO SELF-CONTROL Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2 “A small girl was showing a friend the bathroom scale: "I don't know what it is . . . but my mom and dad use it every day. All I know is, when you stand on it, it makes you really mad!".” (Steve May. ...read more

     | 3,939 views

    Those things which I believe in, things that take precedence over all matters has become for the most part a point of ridicule by those who seem to control what we need to know.

    The majority of the sermons of Rev. Raymond Williams comes from the sermon notes he preached from and are not always fluid. Living for Christ or Living for Self Interest If anyone wants to do God’s will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or whether I speak from my own ...read more

    Now.... Start Aiming that Chair. It's not that the lion is afraid of the chair -- it's that the lion is confused by the chair

    INTRODUCTION: Of all the things we have to govern in this life, self is often our greatest challenge! Self-control is listed last as the capstone in the nine fruits of the HolySpirit, since it takes a lot of self-control to exercise the other eight virtues!

    "Bear The Cross Of Self Denial"

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Aug 31, 2017
     | 9,484 views

    The sermon is based on the idea of dying by denying self and considering the needs of others in order to be a true disciple of Jesus.

    “Bear the Cross by Self Denial” Matthew 16:21-28 • It was bad enough for the disciples to hear that Jesus would suffer, be rejected, and die on a cross.

     | 10,784 views

    Self-confidence is a good thing, but what balance should we have in our abilities and the things God has called us to do. This is a closer look at the lives of two heroes of the faith.

    Living Without Self Confidence. Having self-confidence is a good thing. No one likes to be around someone who is not confident. In fact, people will say you must believe in yourself, if you don’t you will never achieve anything. But I believe that there is a fine line between having ...read more

    One of the first stories we learn as children is the story of Jonah and the Big Fish. But the story about Jonah that we remember is seldom the whole story.

    JONAH’S NIGHT OF SELF-IMPOSED MISERY But the Lord said, “You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty ...read more

     | 2,034 views

    Jesus explains more fully about submitting to Him and we are challenged to “deny [ourselves] and take up [our] cross and follow [Him].” This is not easy, but does speak to our soul and the judgment to come.

    M16: DENY SELF MATTHEW 16:24-28 #m16sermons INTRODUCTION For the past few weeks, we have been digging into Matthew 16: In 16:1-4, we saw that the proof of Who Jesus is comes by His death, burial, and resurrection. In 16:5-12, Jesus taught us to check our heart to make sure we don’t have ...read more

     | 8,662 views

    Judah finds both repentance, and amendment of life.

    THE TESTIMONY OF JUDAH. Genesis 44:18-34. I have often wondered why the account of Joseph’s plight in Egypt is interrupted by a chapter about his half-brother Judah (Genesis 38). However, this part of the narrative (Genesis 37-50) is headed ‘the generations of Jacob’ (Genesis 37:2). The whole of ...read more

    Love That's Out Of This World

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,845 views

    Our world is really into lust, not love. God's kind of love is all about giving, doing what is best for the other person. Jesus is the best model of that. And God is the very definition of it. God's love can flow through us to a needy world.

    In a culture filled with self-gratification, developing servant attitude families presents challenges that are addressed with this message.

    Ephesians 5:21-31 (NIV) 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also ...read more
