    Leave The Weed

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 8, 2020
     | 4,484 views

    "Weeding the garden" is something we believe is a good thing, but many times doing this can destroy the good roots around them. Jesus helps us grasp why working to remove the 'weeds' from your life is not necessarily His way of leading you.

    Right… at first glance you may quickly think I am going to try convincing you how wrong it is to smoke marijuana… or to do drugs of any kind. No… this is not that kind of ‘weed removal’ encouragement… although… wait… OK… I’ll refrain! Rather, this is an admonition to be careful about being SO ...read more

    New years are time to generally reflect and to look forward to new things. Despite the fact that it repeats every 365 days, it is still something to look forward to.

    A beautiful story based on 7 windows. It tells the Christmas story from the perspective of an opening in heaven.

    THE 7 WINDOWS OF CHRISTMAS The Bible speaks about the Window of Heaven being opened to allow the blessings of God to come to earth for those who love God and honour His Name. That got me thinking about windows, windows of the soul, shop windows, car windows, computer windows, all kinds of ...read more

    Effective Christianity

    Contributed by Scott Fields on Oct 8, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,684 views

    Why is Christianity in America declining? Why are professions of faith and baptisms on the decline. Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. Church is not a place we go or something we do it is God's people doing His will.

    I have a very serious question to start us off with this morning. Why is Christianity on the decline here in America? I am sure there are probably as many answers as there are people. • Could it be because Christianity is competing with so many other religions? • Could it be because ...read more

    THE CURE FOR COMPLAINING So, what did you complain about this morning? The person driving too slowly in front of you on your way to church? The temperature of your coffee? That this room was too cold, too warm, the sound too loud, not loud enough? Your kids, your wife, your husband ... ...read more
