    David: A Man After God's Heart (4) Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Dec 20, 2020
     | 3,141 views

    The Bible tells us that David was a man after God's heart, yet he commited a terrible sin when slept with Bathsheba and killed Uriah. In 2 Samuel 11, we discover that David had a selfish heart, scheming heart, and sorrowful heart.

    David: A Man after God’s Heart (4) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 3/13/2016 The Bible is full of heroes. These biblical heroes don’t wear colorful capes or costumes, but they instill us with hope, optimism, and faith. They were men and women who overthrew kingdoms, stood ...read more

    We have to: 1. Overcome our selfish mindset (vs. 1). 2. Use God's standards for greatness (vs. 1). 3. Follow the right examples for greatness (vs. 2-4). 4. Focus on the right mission (vs. 5).

    Love-It's Supernaturally Natural Series

    Love, we all need it. We all want it, but we rarely get it. We long for others to love us. But most people don't have any love to give. Most humans only know selfish love.

    I. Love does not come naturally. That should be quite evident from the selfish attitude prevalent among us. All humans are born with an evil nature, which means it’s our nature to be selfish. Hence, we cater to our flesh. A. Selfishness - Such selfishness causes us to use and abuse others, and ...read more

    Where’s The Love? Series

     | 1,867 views

    The message examines love as the motive for what we do. The context of the Love Chapter is the operation of the gifts of the Spirit (listed in 1 Corinthians 12 and regulated in 1 Corinthians 14).

    Intro Our text today is found in 1 Corinthians 13. After addressing the nine gifts of the Spirit in the first part of 1 Cor. 12, Paul introduced an analogy of the human body to teach these believers the importance of valuing and caring for one another. On the one hand, these Corinthians are doing a ...read more

    I Was Just Thinking Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 13, 2019
     | 4,402 views

    As James points out, there are two kinds of wisdom: Godly wisdom (from above) and worldly wisdom. True wisdom is a gift from God and what we are doing with it today is not how God intended us to use it.

    As many of you have probably heard before, the Greeks had three different words to describe three different kinds of love: “Eros” … where we get our English word “erotic” from. It denotes a sexual sort of love. “Agape” … denotes a spiritual or unconditional type of love … usually used to ...read more

    Hatred is a dark, violent, selfish emotion that can destroy the human heart even the best of them. Hatred has a way of taking root within us like no other emotion can. It twists our thinking and speaking until all that spews out of us are dark sentences

    We bury a lot of things in our hearts and hide them there behind very heavy stones. These stones often have a name, like shame, hurt, bitterness, loss, and grief. Others are called selfishness, envy, lust, and greed. I want you to know that whatever is en

    Roll Away the Stone Today we celebrate with Christians all over the world the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the great event that separates the Christian religion from all others.

    The world offers life at its best through what you own, wear, the way you look, the more you get, this selfish mentality promises life at its best but never delivers on the promise. God offers life at its best and it begins with a promise of power. Lear

    Turning to Christ involves repenting of sins, rejecting selfish living and all that is unjust, renouncing Satan and all evil. It’s living every day as a disciple of Christ, loving God with our whole heart, and our neighbour as our self, until life's end.

    Sermon by Rev George Hemmings ‘1, 2, 4, 7, 9, Here we come.’ That’s how my sons, Micah and Joshua, like to count down when we play hide and seek. There’s usually not much time to get ready! Actually every time they count down differently. One moment they’re ...read more

     | 3,940 views

    Satan doesn’t want you to think about spiritual things. Rather, he only wants us to dwell on our own selfish desires. Avoid the temptation to delay any thoughts of spiritual self-examination, and make it a priority to encourage others for self-examination

    Those ones who are hateful, rude, selfish, mean, those ones who are rebellious, those ones who give us the most trouble!! God wants to save them, God wants to rescue them, God want help them, God wants to open their eyes!!

    2 Kings 6:18-23- So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, "Strike this people, I pray, with blindness."

    Do we really believe that most non-Christians are lost? Psalm 74:20 says “The dark places of the earth (where the love of God is not known) are full of the habitations of cruelty.” (selfishness, hatred, greed, strife, & violence.) Do they need a Savior, too? YES!

    What arrogance it is to promote yourself over others and put them down. This message deals with those who think they are something but are nothing; who deceive themselves. We look at church positions and humility and pride. Do not deceive yourself.

    Looking Out For #1

    Contributed by Mark Eberly on Mar 17, 2008
     | 1,901 views

    We have this tendency to be selfish--to look out for #1--me, me, me. The true #1 is God and God’s ways. Jesus shows that making God #1 means not thinking we are better than others. John 13 (foot washing) is a beautiful expression of this.

    Looking Out for Number One March 16, 2008 Matthew 21: 1-11; John 13 Part One (kid’s sermon) Let me tell you about the most memorable day of my life. There I was living this average conditions with no one recognizing my worth. No one really could see the great potential that I had when suddenly ...read more
