    A Non-Repayable Debt Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,177 views

    All people owe a non-repayable debt to the Lord. If He dismisses our debt, then we should extend the same courtesy to any of our debtors. If Jesus forgives us; we should forgive others. Our debt is forgiven through faith in Christ.

    I have entitled our message this evening “A Non-repayable Debt,” and we will be looking at what is commonly called, “The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant.” “John Oglethorpe, in talking to John Wesley, once made the comment, ‘I never forgive.’ Mr. Wesley replied, ‘Then, Sir, I hope that you ...read more

    Margins may be defined as “the space between your load and your limit.” The load represents the things that you carry every day. You reach a limit when you crack and go over the edge. Synonyms for margin include a buffer, space, reserves, or reservoir.

    Numbered Days God says that we must live as a people who number our days. This means that we are to be stewards of our time. We must steward the hours that God gives to you and to me. We all have 24 hours and none of us have any more or any less. Load vs. Limit Margins may be defined as “the ...read more

    OPEN: I once read the true story of a woman who told about how frustrated she’d gotten with her husband during the early years of their marriage. Apparently they both worked, but she took pride in the idea that she could still prepare good meals for them to eat. She’d prepare meals in advance and ...read more

    We are given an express command from God not to put anything before Him. So tonight I want us to search our hearts and find out if there are any idols in our lives, and without reservation rip them out of our lives.

    Watch out for Idols Exodus 20:4-6 Introduction In our world we have many people who have ‘idols’ in their lives… like Robbie Williams, a British pop singer, spoke on BBC Radio in July 2001… Williams said, “…I haven’t had a drink or done drugs for seven ...read more

    We might find it comes easier to complain and gripe than to give thanks. In that, we're a lot like the people of the Bible, and, just like them, we sometimes need a heart-adjustment.

    Is there a cure for worry, misery and fear? Keep that question in the back of your mind as we continue today. In a region of Mexico HOT AND COLD SPRINGS are found side by side.

    Why do you suppose it is that people find it so difficult to understand that real freedom only comes when we obey God?

    It’s a risky thing to mix politics and religion. It’s too easy to confuse the two. And if I remember correctly, one of the major bones of contention during my predecessor’s tenure was over that very thing: whether or not it was proper to have the American flag in the sanctuary. Many people do ...read more
