    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 8, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,784 views

    The objective measure of the progress of a football team is whether they can advance the football toward their goal-line. Paul lays down 4 hash marks to show Christians how to judge their own progress in Christ.

    Solomon, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote in Proverbs 29:18, 'where there is no vision the people perish'. The NKJ translates it, 'Where there is no revelation the people cast off restraint...'

    In the book of Proverbs, King Solomon, known for his wisdom, wrote, "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18). This verse emphasizes the significance of having a clear vision in our lives. Without a vision, we lack direction and purpose, leading to a state of aimlessness and ...read more

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 12, 2024
     | 1,211 views

    It should be our goal to glorify the name of the Lord as we live on this earth and wait for His return. That is a prayer that we should pray for ourselves and for each other. So lets look more closely at this prayer.

    Alba 3-10-2023 GLORIFY THE NAME OF THE LORD II Thessalonians 1:11-12 In a book titled “Mornings With Jesus” Katie Jones wrote, "One morning I overslept.

    This message is an exposition of Philippians 3:7-11. Here Paul offers himself as an example of the changes that occur when a person is truly born again: (1) A Change in Values (2) A Change in Righteousness (3) A Change in Life Goals.

    We are in a study of Philippians. Our text today is found in Philippians 3:7-11. We will begin by reading that from the New International Version. “But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth ...read more

     | 10,701 views

    The analysis of the healing of the paralytic as set forth in Luke 5:17-26 will show us that Jesus has divine authority to forgive sins.

    Scripture Luke recorded 21 miracles by Jesus in his Gospel. R. C. Sproul states in his Dust to Glory lectures, “Miracles prove the truthfulness of the one who is performing them and prove that he is endorsed and blessed by God.” In the case of Jesus, “God bore witness to the ...read more

    Be Happy - How To Be Joyful No Matter What Series

    based on 40 ratings
     | 55,735 views

    We can be joyful in all circumstances, by adopting a right perspective, set the right priority, lean on the power of God, and focus on the purpose of life.

    Most people don't enjoy life; they just endure it. • They think that life must be perfect for them to be happy. • So they are always looking for a change for the better. If I could just change my situation life would be great. If I could just get rid of all my problems, life would ...read more

     | 24,450 views

    The "holy kiss" was a common way to show love and acceptance in the early church. What was that "kiss" intended to accomplish for God and how can we (who often don’t do that) accomplish the same goals?

    OPEN: For the next 4 weeks, we’re going to be looking at what the Bible says about kissing (pause). You know, the Bible is just FULL of kissing. There are stories where sons kiss their fathers. Friends kissing friends/ brothers kissing brothers. People kissing false idols. Kissing between a woman ...read more

    In running the race set before us- we must be aware of dangerous trip wires that will keep us from moving forward in our quest for godliness.

    The Tortoise and the Hare While the real text that we’re going to deal with begins in Hebrews 12:12—it is so important to see the context of this chapter. It extends back a few chapters. Hebrews has a double-edged theme. On one hand the author is proclaiming that Christ is so much ...read more

    “Qualified” is a welcomed word for anyone who strives to reach a definite goal in any area of life (athletics; employment; academics, etc.). How infinitely more thrilling to be declared “qualified” for an eternal home in heaven!

    QUALIFIED “Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,187 views

    We will follow whatever we desire. That was the secret of Davi'ds spiritual success. David "set his heart" and his affections on God. Because he did, he developed a hunger for God, he loved God's presence and His Word. We must set our hearts on God.

    DO WE HAVE DAVID’S DESIRE? Ps. 27:4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man was telling about an exciting experience in Russia. His sleigh was pursued over the frozen wastes by a pack of at least a dozen famished wolves. 2. He arose and shot the foremost one, and the others stopped to devour it. But ...read more
