    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,117 views

    When Jesus said to "cut off" the eye or hand that caused one to sin ("stumble") what He meant was that we needed to cast off the heart set on the flesh. So, what causes you to stumble in your relationship with God?

    Crucifying Your Idols Theme: Ridding the heart that cause us to stumble in giving our lives to God INTRODUCTION A. Problem: “If your right eye causes you to stumble…” Matt. 5:29 1. Answer: “Tear it out and throw it from you…” 2. Reason: “It is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, ...read more

    Let me start by saying what the Christian faith is, Christianity has a set of core beliefs that define it from the religions of the world. Christianity has some basic truths and without these basic truths Christianity fails to be truly Christian.

    God calls each of us to the Adventure of Life He has set before us. Everyone has his or her own path, but we all have the same call. Today we examine the call to minister to our families.

    Choose Your Own Adventure! “Be a Family Man!” Today the Adventure that we are called to is “Be a Family Man!” That may sound like it’s aimed only at fathers, but Family Man has a better ring to it than “Family Person”. So when we say Family Man, we are ...read more

    The Gospel: Love Series

     | 5,832 views

    It is wrong when freedom is abused. Love is what balances grace. Spiritual liberty is not a license to indulge the sinful nature. Rather it is a call to serve one another in love. It was for freedom that Christ set you free. You were called to be free.

    There was a woman who was married to a domineering husband that demanded her to follow a list of duties. His demands were full of regulations and the marriage was drudgery for that woman. Her husband died and she later remarried. This time her marriage was based on love. It was not like the one ...read more

    Promise Land We have been set free . . . now what? It isn’t enough to break out of bondage unless we learn to move to blessed. In order to do so we must find and live in promise land!

    PromiseLand Pt. 4- Promise Praise I. Introduction 40 years removed from being slaves. Turned into soldiers by the routine of ruts. Marching in the wilderness.

    The Lord warns us that our eyes should be trained to be pure. Many are struggling with the sins of the eyes, because while there is much restriction as to what one can do with their hands and legs, there is no restraint set as to what one can do with their eyes.

    Train your conscience - Part 2 In the past few chapters, we have delved deep into the subject of our conscience. To summarize briefly, we understand that our conscience is placed inside of us by God Himself, it is God’s gift to us, which serves as our internal audit to help us be aware of what is ...read more

    Fullness Of Time

    The birth of Christ did not happen all of the sudden. From the beginning of creation, this plan of God of sending His Son into the world was revealed. In Galatians, Paul describes a moment in history when everything was in place and the stage was all set for Christ to be born.

    But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law. Galatians 4:4 What does fullness of time mean? It is like eagerly waiting for something and suddenly the time comes very appropriately. Like a ripe apple ready to be picked. In this context ...read more

    In trying times like these, what is at the foundation of your life? In what have you based your faith? Psa. 118:22 tells us that trusting our lives to any foundation not set by the Cornerstone (Jesus Christ) is foolish.

    Consider a lawyer as he sets forth God's case against the people of Israel and Judah. That was Micah's job. God did not like the sin that happened then, and He doesn't like it today.

    The book of Micah was written to God's people, the children of Israel in the Northern Kingdom, and of Judah in the Southern Kingdom. It was written to warn them of the coming judgment from God but to also for them to repent. Throughout the book of Micah, the need for peace and justice is ...read more
