    Contributed by Dana Visneskie on Jul 6, 2004
    based on 41 ratings
     | 8,140 views

    The key to happiness is resting in the fact that God never changes. I give 3 areas most Christians put there happiness and how it leads to dissatisfaction. I also give 3 areas where God does not change and how that leads to true happiness.

And with that knowledge there should come to the believer a sense of joy and contentment. - It should bring a sense of security and peace to the believers heart. - It ...read more

    You Shall Be My Witnesses

     | 14,127 views

    Too often we ask God why don’t I have this or that, why is this happening, why, why, why. Instead we should be asking what God can you do through me? God answers with the voice like many waters, You Shall Be My Witnesses.

    Vance Havner a very practical down home preacher said, “One day of green pastures and still waters is followed by dark valleys and miry swamps and a thousand whys lie unanswered, tabled for the future.” When it comes to unanswered whys from God we all too often ask more whys instead of what!

    Sermon 3 of 6 on the Acts 2:47 church - 24/7! We are called to be salt and light. I used several different Sermon Central sources for illustrations, ideas and comments.

    2:47 – 24/7 Transforming Community Transformers change things. That’s what they do. When my girls were growing up I wanted to buy them "Transformers" instead of dolls. Donna wouldn’t let me for reasons that I don’t remember now. I’m sure her reasons were good - I just don’t remember what they ...read more

    From Thanksgiving to Thanksliving 1 Chronicles 16 Rev. Brian Bill 11/23/08 There’s something within us that resists giving thanks, isn’t there? It’s far easier to complain and be in conflict than it is to live a life of thanks. I’d like to propose that we can control our complaining to the ...read more

    How To Be Invisible Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 13, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,695 views

    There is a way to do wonderful things for God and fade into the background. Our human nature wants to get the credit and be the focus. Our godly nature tells us otherwise. Learn how to be an active part of God’s plan by disappearing.

    Where have we been so far? Chapter 5: rely and focus on the Lord, not on ourselves. Make, keep, and fix broken relationships as God fixed the broken relationship with us. Now in Chapter 6 we move to being an active part in focusing others on God—the source of life. What’s the use of having ...read more
