    How We Pray Is Important

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 23, 2012
     | 3,560 views

    I pray we will fail in our pursuit of happiness and that as our focus transforms from the selfish to the holy we will become more and more in tune with His Spirit, with His mission to reach and serve the world around us for His Son.

    For the last two weeks we’ve been talking about prayer. The first week we discussed Daniel and how he showed us through his story that prayer matters. We discovered that prayer matters because it helps us to rely on God’s mercy. Because it helps us to confess sin and ask for mercy ...read more

    King For A Day

    Could it be that many who followed Jesus into Jerusalem turned away from him when they realized Jesus was not going to overthrow the government? Do we seek our own selfish agenda through Christ or is He truly our King?

    King for a Day Luke 19:28-48 The word Hosanna is a Greek word which is translated from the Hebrew word hoshiiah na which means save now. A few weeks ago we learned Jesus was called Yeshua Hamashia or Jesus the Messiah. Today we celebrate and remember how Jesus was King for a Day as he rode into ...read more

    Learning From Our Conflicts Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Nov 16, 2015
     | 6,079 views

    In this message, we will learn that the heart is the source of all evil desires, conflicts, rivalries, and all selfish ambitions. When we resolve the root cause of the conflict, we can solve the problem. Only Christ can transform our hearts.

    Wars and conflicts are everywhere especially clearer when you read the online newspapers. There is conflict among nations, among races, among politicians, even among religious beliefs. Those conflicts are rooted to so much hatred, antagonism, bitterness and hostilities. In addition, hot tempered ...read more

    Digging Ditches

     | 22,097 views

    By presumption, 3 Kings left God out, then had to backtrack to God for help. God's message: you can't fight spiritual warfare until you have repented of sin, indifference, disobedience, selfishness, and neglect. Then the anointing will flow!

    DIGGING DITCHES 2 Kings 3:5-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: PLAYPEN 1. A young mother complained to her friend about the difficulties of child rearing, especially the lack of peace and constant pestering by her small children. 2. Her friend smiled and said, "What you need is a playpen to separate ...read more

    The Tower Of Babel Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 22, 2022
     | 7,044 views

    The Tower of Babel was a man centered plan. God supernaturally confused the languages and scattered the people. There are over 7,000 languages spoken in the world today. Pentecost was the Tower of Babel in reverse! The Holy Spirit comes to reach those separated from God by sin.

    Someone says, what are you saying? I can’t understand you. You are talking nonsense. Stop babbling. You know what they are referring to right? It is a reference to what happened in Genesis Chapter 11 at the tower of Babel. The story of the Tower of Babel is uber significant. It explains the ...read more

    When it comes to our personal relationship with God and with others, Jesus taught that personal goodness is more valuable than personal greatness.

    INTRODUCTION When I was a pastor in Alabama, we lived next to a cemetery. Most days I would jog through there; the residents never complained. I enjoyed reading the tombstones. I’ll never forget the short tribute one on large tombstone. A man’s name was listed and then it said, “He was a great ...read more

    Three Parables, One Message

    This message is an examination of Luke 15, which contains three parables that communicate the same message.

    Please turn with me to Luke 15. We're going to look at this chapter tonight, and I know it's a very familiar chapter, but I want to take a look at it and bring some things out that I pray will bless you and see this chapter in a different light. Most of the time when Luke 15 is taught, the ...read more

    To Hurting Congregations! What Matters Most Is What God Offers First!

     | 4,653 views

    There are, still today, many congregations that are full of bickering and selfishness. These things tear the church apart and keep them from fulfilling God’s call in their life. Paul addresses this sort of church when he wrote to the church in Corinth. Hi

    1st Corinthians 1:1-9 January 20th, 2002 To hurting congregations! What matters most is what God offers first! Most would say that a recipe for disaster is to take people with different views, ideas, attitudes, backgrounds, and agendas and stick them all in one place. The result would be ...read more

    Humility

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 29, 2000
    based on 105 ratings
     | 17,807 views

    Humility is beyond a shadow of a doubt the most significant element of walking in divine favor. It is directly opposed to pride. Where pride seeks selfish gain, humility seeks selfless gain. True humility is to esteem another more greatly than yourself.

    To humble oneself before God in repentance is mandatory for all Christians.The sin of pride is at the root of all evil. Self-exaltation and rebellion is what caused satan to be "cut down to the ground." At one time, satan was called Lucifer, which means "son of the morning." He ...read more

    Why Should He Love Us So?

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jul 26, 2004
    based on 125 ratings
     | 14,101 views

    On the average, we’re really not all that lovable, are we? All around us we see the bitter fruits of hatred, selfishness, & greed. And, no, I don’t know why God loves us. But He does!

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (NOTE: The impetus for the development of this sermon came from an excellent sermon, "Why Should They Hate Us," contributed to SC by Jeff Strite.) John 3:16; Psalms 8:4; 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 A. There is a ...read more

    The Parable Of The Good Father

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Aug 4, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,214 views

    Today we will look at a familiar passage of scripture commonly called the parable of the prodigal son but I feel a fitting title would be the parable of the good father. We see the selfishness of the two sons set off against the love of the good father.

    Introduction Today we will be studying a fairly familar passage of scripture, familar to most of us as the parable of the prodigal son but most aptly called in my opinion the parable of the good father. Luke 15:11-12 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to his ...read more

    “Spoil” has two meanings-both of which are applicable in this passage. The rich had spent their riches in self-indulgence (spoiling themselves). At the same time, their selfishness caused them to be hoarders. And because the rich were hoarding what they h
