    Spiritual Fruit Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 24, 2015
     | 8,178 views

    Your life should be more than a flurry of activity. You were meant to produce spiritual fruit. Paul uses the imagery of fruit trees to illustrate this. What you want out of a fruit tree is fruit. In the Christian life what we want is spiritual fruit.

    Wouldn’t it be great if every time that you received a harsh criticism you returned it with a response of kindness? That is what it is like for the believer who has the fruit of the Spirit manifested in their life. Wouldn’t it be great the next time you are wronged, instead of rage ...read more

    When we come to Acts 3 we see the church rejoicing in Christ, they are witnessing to everyone they touch, and winning many souls to Christ. As we go through this passage we want to notice the way the spiritual power is manifested in God’s people.

    Looking at Paul's role as a spiritual parent of the Thessalonians

    The senior pastor of a church was doing the children’s sermon one day at the service. He had decided to talk to the kids about how to write a good sermon, in hopes of inspiring some to grow up and go into the ministry. So he asked the children, "What makes a good sermon?"

    Spiritual Discernment

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2016
     | 7,490 views

    Spiritual discernment seems to be something lacking in many of the people in America who identify themselves as Christians. They're decisions seem to be the same as those of their unsaved neighbors. Should this be so? What does the Bible say?

    Discernment - The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment. Keen insight and good judgment … Illustration: Imagine that you walk into a bank and you see that all of the customers are laying on the floor and the only person standing is a guy with a ski mask over his face ...read more

    Spiritual Networth

    Contributed by John Roy on Oct 26, 2016
     | 7,149 views

    Are we material people trapped in spiritual bodies, or spiritual people trapped in material bodies? This sermon asserts that we need to be concerned about our spiritual net worth, because we are spiritual people.

    From time to time I suspect people review their finances. In those reviews, they may take a moment to calculate their net worth. Our financial net worth is the value of all assets, minus the total of all liabilities. Put another way, net worth is what is owned minus what is owed. The value of ...read more

    When we neglect God and His word, when we turn to God-substitutes, the result is spiritual dryness. When we want God to leave us alone, He just might. Amos tells what it will be like to live without a prophetic voice.
