    INTRO.- What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done in life? Let’s say the hardest physical thing. Work an 80 hour week? That’s just about 12 hours a day. Well, 84 hours in 7 days. Did you ever do that? That would be hard no matter what kind of work you were doing. Let ...read more

    We should think something and do something about the terrible devastation in Japan and for the people.

    INTRO. - The whole world shook and not just Japan, this past week, actually on Friday, March 11th, and that certainly wasn’t the end.

    INTRO.- Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. Let’s memorize this verse. Let’s get it deep in our hearts, minds and souls. Why? BECAUSE THIS IS WHY JESUS CAME AND IT’S ALSO WHY WE’RE HERE, whether we realize this or not. We’ve been bought and paid for by the blood of Christ. Now we’re ...read more

    In our text, Paul speaks of the behavior of Christian men and women.

    INTRO.- Our world is full of bad behavior. However, it’s not supposed to be in the church! Christians are supposed to be somewhat different from other people in the world. ILL.- Geroge Gallup wrote: There’s little difference in ethical behavior between the churched and the unchurched. ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 12,861 views

    INTRO.- A noble task. What’s that? It depends on what you consider to be a noble task. I personally would not commend tending bar as being a noble task nor many other jobs in this world. Like: prostitution, dealing at a table at a gambling casino, etc. Nobility carries the idea of excellence ...read more

     | 9,895 views

    In our text, God gives us some principles of our walk in this world. 1- Imitate God 2- Stay clean

    INTRO.- Walk in the way of love, one version reads. What is your walk in this world? II Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.

    Paul said to command the rich to do something good with their wealth. 1- Command the rich to put their hope in God 2- Command the rich to be rich in good deeds 3- Command the rich to lay up heavenly treasures

    INTRO.- Command the rich. Do we ever have the right to command anyone? Maybe not, but God does. God can command us to do whatever He wants because He is God. It’s like parenting. Parents can tell their kids what to do and when, but of course, that doesn’t mean they’ll do it. But parents have ...read more
