Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:37-38 (NIV) What ...read more

     | 5,012 views

    James teaches that it is extremely important to control the use of the tongue and Solomon, in the book of Proverbs has many helpful comments about controlling the tongue.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bibles to James 3:1&ff. 2. In our last lesson we discussed the warning that James gives to those who are teachers of God’s word. (1) James warned that teachers that misuse their tongue in the teaching of God’s word will be judged with a much stricter ...read more

    It's All About Me Series

     | 10,597 views

    We live in a "me centered" world and that creeps into the church and I try to make spiritual things about what I want.

    Allow me to begin with a little test. (I did an illusion called "What Next" where the dots on a card change and the audience is fooled.) Isn't it true that our eyes play tricks on us and we can be easily deceived? Here are some Bible passages that warn us of this. 2 Corinthians 11:2-4 2I am ...read more

    Lust & Chastity Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 12, 2012
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,269 views

    A Christian view of sexuality. Lust happens when attraction becomes an overpowering factor in one's life. Chastity is a positive lifestyle marked by self-control.

    A cartoon depicts two guys in Hell, and one says to the other: “I was under the impression that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” All of the deadly sins we’ve been studying are distorted or excessive attachments to good things. We make them bad. When life revolves around ...read more

    Dumb Dogs Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013
     | 8,077 views

    Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

    Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more

    A sermon about authenticity.

    Luke 18:9-14 "Be Real" So, who are you, really?

    We claim our kingdoms and possessions and call them "mine." God lays claim to all and calls us to acknowledge it as his.

    Matthew 21:33-46 "The Tyranny of Mine" INTRODUCTION Two friends were walking in the forest one day when suddenly they stumbled upon a large grizzly bear who decided that they looked like a good snack.
