    Choosing Your Attitude

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 27, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,983 views

    Everyone acknowledges that a bad attitude stinks. We don’t even need to discuss about how and why to have a sick attitude … it comes so natural because naturally we are born with it … though we are born in sin but we have a choice to choose our attitude.

    Opening illustration: During 1997 as the world focused on the deaths of Princess Diana and Mother Teresa, another significant passing went almost unnoticed. Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl died on September 2 at the age of 93. During World War II, Dr. Frankl was imprisoned at Auschwitz, where ...read more

    Why The Cross?

     | 24,419 views

    Paul is adamant that the preaching of the Cross is central to the Gospel and what is should mean to believers.

    There’s a striking phrase in St Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (6:14). When we come across that sort of statement it can be helpful to ask the question, “Why did Paul write like that?” To ask ourselves, “Why the ...read more

     | 374 views

    We must heed the warning of the Lord; it is the same warning Isaiah preaches here! But, why? Because He is returning to judge the Earth - not to scare us, but to prepare us! We must know that He is not a God of fear, but of love because He gives us sufficient warning of what is ahead!

    Isaiah, Part 11 Why do the rescued praise the Lord? Isaiah 26:7-21 (Wed: 27:1-13) Introduction - Welcome to Seasons! We are so glad you are here today. - Last week, we saw God’s people praise Him during His judgments because: • His people are kept under His protection in a city created by ...read more

    Lets work together as servants, building on the one foundation, Jesus Christ, so as to build up the church in unity according to God’s wisdom, not human wisdom.

    The Corinthians self-image was of a spiritually mature congregation, endowed with all the spiritual gifts they needed, well taught and self-sufficient. In fact they were quite similar to many churches today, particularly those of an evangelical persuasion, let me say. They thought their learning ...read more

    "Thy Kindom Come" in the Lords’ prayer encompasses a great deal more than most Christians realize, this sermon takes a look at the Kingdom from a higher vantage point.

    “Thy Kingdom Come” In our last message for this series, we talked about the invocation and the first petition of the Lords’ Prayer. And if you missed the last one, don’t worry because each sermon in this series will be totally “self-contained” and understood easily by itself. Anyway, ...read more
