    The Devil Wears Prada Series

    based on 177 ratings
     | 41,406 views

    A commercial we watched for Prada didn’t try to sell clothes or accessories. It’s intent was to sell an "image". Satan’s the same - his goal is to sell us an "image". But what does he try to sell us on, and how can we avoid being snared by his sales pitch

    OPEN: The minister’s group I’m part of came up with this title: The Devil Wears Prada. It was based on a movie by that same name (and I found out later there was a Rock group that same name). But in researching this sermon I found that Prada is a high class Italian fashion Company known for it’s ...read more

    The Church is God's amazing plan. We must not discount the importance of being called into that church through Christ.

    EPHESIANS # 5 We are exploring the grand themes of Paul’s letter to the Church in Ephesus. As you know, I love this letter! The heart of our hope is captured in the first 3 chapters and the practical implications of that hope are explored in the last 3 chapters. Paul opens by pouring out ...read more

    What exactly is God's will for the Church?

    Back in 2007 we began a shift in emphasis here at Keele as we felt God calling us to get intentional about celebrating and encouraging ethnic and cultural diversity in our congregation. If you were at Keele at the time, you will remember that we asked various groups, both in the congregation and ...read more

     | 2,496 views

    Early Church was going through very challenging times during King Herod Agrippa 1. But God took control of the Church and blessed the Church to grow, word to spread.

    The church in Thyatira demonstrates the need to follow the ways of Jesus in order to prevent being deceived.

    In our culture, I think there is sometimes a tendency for us to look around at all the mega churches, even some right around us, and to begin to think that a smaller church like TFC really isn’t all that significant to the kingdom of God. But Jesus’ message to the church in Thyatira ...read more

    Many pastors do not want to preach on HELL fearing they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. Apparently we have begun to deny hell. There’s an assumption that everybody’s going to make it to heaven somehow

    Opening illustration: Video of ‘HELL’ from center of the earth. Introduction: Many pastors do shy away from the topic of everlasting damnation. "It’s out of fear they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. I believe we’ve begun to deny hell. There’s ...read more

     | 6,064 views

    Today the pressures and responsibilities of life are great. It seems like there’s always something, something problematic such as: financial obligations, marital conflicts, unruly children, faulty products, accidents, etc. And no one is exempt! A common expression is, “Oh no, not again!”

    I. People in the days of Jesus experienced similar situations A. Martha, the sister of Mary, is a case in point. She was so busy with the small stuff that she missed the main thing. JESUS had come to her house! He was there for her. He was not there for her to take care of Him; He was there to ...read more

    Baptist Heritage Sunday: broad as we are, we can stay together if we live out our understanding of soul competence and if we focus on missions and evangelism.

    I want to introduce you to the least exclusive club in the world. A club so open that anybody can get in, whether they qualify or not, although the club says it has high standards for membership.

    The Limitless Love Of God

     | 2,667 views

    How should we respond to those who have radical beliefs and lifestyles contrary to our beliefs? The temptation is to counter their viciousness and label them as an enemy. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a model for the attitude that we are to have when faced with divisive social issues.

    If not careful, as we study the Bible, we will pick and choose passages that support certain points of view or principles to which we cling. Yet those who first heard what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount had no idea what Jesus was about to say. They understood the moralism of their day, ...read more
