    I know that most of you are Christians. But what I do not know is how many of you are effective Christians. How many of you can use your faith in an effective way? I know that most, though not all, of you are professed believers. You have publicly acknowledged Christ as Lord; you have followed ...read more

     | 6,973 views

    In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, He says that we need to be more righteous than the Pharisees and the Scribes in order for us to enter the Kingdom. These were the people who were perceived to have been the most righteous. How can we compete with them?

    While there are many things we need to surrender to God, there are some things that we should never surrender.

    It’s almost a dirty word. One that nobody wants to use, and certainly not a word that anybody wants to be identified with.

     | 2,693 views

    “Game over. Jesus was dead. We lost.” The Disciples stopped believing and gave up waiting. Sagacity is the quality of being discerning, patient, farsighted and wise. Don't lose faith in troubled times. Immediate/Instant are not always part of God’s vocabulary.

    There are really two halves to today’s message. First, I want to speak on the importance and need for growth in a believer’s life, and second is the importance of self-control.

Let me just get real serious, real quick here: what is the one item in your life you have trouble controlling? Do you have total self-control in the area of food? Drink? Sex? Your tongue?
