    Self righteousness and a critical, judgmental spirit usually go together. Why? Because self righteousness is a zero-sum game.

    Over the next few weeks we’ll be looking at some of the parables of our Lord. A parable is a fictional story told to illustrate a spiritual reality. Jesus told many of them. As a preacher, He knew that what people often remember best about a sermon are the illustrations. He understood that ...read more

    Co-dependency means anything that aids you in self-destructive behavior. The worst self-destructive behavior is not trusting God!

    No Co-Dependency!  Many of us have grown up learning to “pull ourselves up by our boot-straps”  We have been taught that, “God helps those… who help themselves.”  “When the going gets tough,… the Tough get going.”  These may sound good, but really are unbiblical and ...read more

    ¡§The key to an honest and accurate self image is knowing the basis of our self worth ¡V our identity in Christ.¡¨

    A college student who had always lived in the city was visiting a ranch in Arkansas. He was fascinated by all the animals. He had never seen so many before so it wasn¡¦t unusual when He blurted out, ¡§What an unusual looking cow. Why doesn¡¦t she have any horns?¡¨ The rancher explained, ¡§Well, ...read more

    Radical discipleship is self-giving for the sake of the world, and not self-satisfaction nor giving only to those who please us.

    When you learn to sing, you must learn to sing scales. Scales start with “do” on the low end and you step up until you get to “do” again, where the frequency exactly doubles the one where you started. That’s a scale. The syllables that you sing come from a medieval Spanish ballad. “Do re mi ...read more

    This sermon is about overcoming the the self controlling, self containment of worship to let oneself fully experiance a closeness of worship with God!

    Michal, became embarrassed at King David’s dance. David responds “I’ll become even more undignified than this”. Michal is embarrassed by the manner in which her husband worshipped. Maybe we can ask ourselves: What Christian worship practices or styles of worship embarrass ...read more

    20/26 Vision (Part 2): Ghost In The Machine: Imago Dei Vs.the Synthetic Self Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 13, 2026
     | 177 views

    In 2026, machines are becoming more human while we become more like machines. As AI mimics our voices, we face a crisis of "Synthetic Identity"—losing the soul to the system. But there is a "Ghost" in your design no code can replicate. Stop being data; reclaim the Image of God.

    In this year 2026, we are facing an identity crisis unlike any in human history. As Artificial Intelligence blurs the line between the made and the created, and as our digital avatars become more polished than our actual faces, we have to ask the oldest question that ever was: What does it mean to ...read more

    Can You Forgive Yourself?

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 10, 2016

     | 19,433 views

    So often we wallow in guilt and shame, long after we have asked Jesus to forgive us. What if we could be free of that for good? Is self-forgiveness biblical? If not, how can I move forward out of my despair? Peter is a case in point.

    John 21:1-19 Can You Forgive Yourself? Self-forgiveness is the big rage in pop psychology today. I did a quick search on Amazon.com this week, and came up with over 12,000 hits on the subject of self-forgiveness. Yet, the interesting thing is, the Bible has absolutely no mention of it at all! ...read more

    Christian Toolbox Basics

    Contributed by Jim Twamley on Apr 2, 2003

     | 13,381 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more
