     | 6,426 views

    Servant Of All

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 19, 2024
     | 979 views

    Jesus lived out and taught us how to become great in the Kingdom of God. We not only deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Jesus, but humble ourselves to become servant to all.

    WHEN WE THINK OF SERVICE TO OTHERS AND ALL THE POSSIBLE WAYS TO ENGAGE OUR ABILITIES, I READ A RATHER HUMOROUS WAY OF LOOKING AT THIS WHICH SAID, ““IF YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO BE EFFECTIVE, YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN IN BED WITH A MOSQUITO.” HOWEVER, ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, I LIKE THE WORDS OF JOHN ...read more

    The New You

    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on May 17, 2008
    based on 27 ratings
     | 12,678 views

    How to live as new people in Christ. 1- Speak the truth 2- Sin not in anger 3- Steal no longer 4- Speak no evil 5- Slander not

    INTRO.- When you hear those words, "the new you," what do they mean to you? You may think, "it sounds good but I don’t believe it." Of course, we think in physical terms. For example, did you ever watch that TV show, "Extreme Makeover?" I’m referring to the one where they take perhaps homely ...read more

    Not many people should be teachers. Why? There is danger in speaking. 1- Some will be judged strictly 2- Some will stumble easily 3- Some will speak deceitfully

    INTRO.- Teacher, teacher, who is the real teacher? ILL.- William A. Ward (America’s most quoted writers of inspirational maxims) has said, "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” I don’t know about teachers but I ...read more

     | 13,309 views

    We all stand for different things in our lives either physically or personally. Stephen took a stand for Jesus and died for it. So what do you stand for? Is it worth dying for? Then start living for it today

    What do I Stand for? Today I want to talk about a concept, that affects all of us, but dependent on your background and/or how you were raised or what you were taught growing up you may have one view or another. Now this particular question can have several answers depending on that view. So if ...read more

    Time for Western Christians to grow up lest they be thrown up.

    1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among ...read more

    based on 49 ratings
     | 12,440 views

    This message stresses the fact that you’ve got to be careful about whom you listen to… Who you let speak into your life… Who you let ‘give you a word…’ Because listening to the wrong people will mess you up…

    "Who Are You Listening To?" Genesis 3:1-5 Last week in the Marriage & Couples class we looked at how we “approach” our marriages, how we relate to our spouses… (Based on Genesis 3…) And it got me to thinking… When we communicate; what are we saying, but more importantly, who are we listening to…? ...read more

    Elijah the great prophet shows us his humanity when he panics after a triumphant encounter with Baal worshipers. But God never gives up on him, God feeds him, shelters him, and speaks to him, not in the thunder, but in a still quiet voice.

     | 2,527 views

    Jesus said go and make disciples. Your task as a disciple is to make disciples. You are to become a fisher of men. Jesus expects nothing less than total obedience.

    Charles Sheldon wrote a challenging book called In His Steps. In this book Henry Maxwell is the pastor of First Church Raymond. A visitor about 33 years old out of work walked to the front of the church and asks what does it mean to follow Christ? He collapsed and died three days later. A group ...read more

    Jesus And Peter Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 5, 2014
     | 9,478 views

    If we learn from Peter – hear the straight talk of Jesus to Peter and to us we can avoid a lot of the pitfalls and mistakes Peter made. If we yield to the straight talk of Jesus – listen – repent – change course then we too can make a difference for the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Theme: Let’s Talk Series 3: Straight Talk What is it? It’s like when your spouse asks if the new outfit makes her look fat and you say, “Yes, you look like you gained 30 pounds!” It’s like when your wife asks if you love her new haircut and you say, “No you ...read more
