    Life Management 101, part 6. Dave sees Psalm 1 as laying out some life steps that lead logically to godliness (and thus a kind of prosperity or productivity) and some that lead logically to godlessness (vanity). The progression in verse 1 of walk-stand-

    Negativity and criticism permeates our society, workplace, churches and homes. Use the power of the tongue to build up, not tear down, because the consequences of negativity are severe.

    Love Came Down At Christmas

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Dec 22, 2024
     | 510 views

    At Christmas if all we speak about is Jesus and the manger in isolation of his life of love and sacrifice we are doing the gospel a disservice. Christmas is a redemption story - tell it with all its glory.

    As we prepare for Christmas, sometimes I wonder if we have allowed the Savior to be stolen from our celebrations. I say this because “Merry Christmas” has been replaced with “Happy Holidays”, businesses exclude Christmas by saying “holiday sale” and when someone asks if you are ready for Christmas ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,607 views

    As Christians we don't have to live in fear, of not knowing what's up ahead around the corner, or what the future might bring. As long as God knows, isn't that enough? It's time we left our hands up...and our worries down!

    Hands up...Worries down! Philippians 4:4-7 MSG 4-5 Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revelin him!

    In our spiritual journey, we may face setbacks, failures, and discouragement, but God calls us to rise up and continue fighting the good fight of faith.

    Knocked Down, Not Knocked Out Key Scripture: “For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.” – Proverbs 24:16 “they rise again”. - Though God permit the hand of violence sometimes to spoil his tent, temptations to assail his mind, and ...read more

    Nobody will get through this life without taking a few hits. The Bible says that a just man falleth 7 times, but he riseth again. Somebody is making a come-back today.

    Acts 14:19-21 ¶ And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he ...read more

    This sermon addresses the real and present danger of Satan and demons in our world - and what we puny humans have to fight such a wicked foe.

    We run into many walls we cannot seem to get past: estrangement, grief, illness. The way past those walls is described as Sabbath, symbol, silence, and shout.

    When you are up against a wall, there will be more than one way to deal with it. There will be the conventional way. And there will be the creative way. When you are up against a wall, there will be a way to break it down that costs a whole lot less than the usual way. All of us remember Mark ...read more

    How easy it is to become parched and dry. What we need are fresh showers of blessing to soften our hearts and bring fruitfulness to our lives. The Holy Spirit wants us to understand that we are helpless without Him. The Holy Spirit chose human vessels to
