    Spiritual Paralysis And Literary Sandwiches

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 21, 2023
     | 1,140 views

    This Morning, we take a special look at Jesus Healing the Paralytic , and how the story reveals to us what is MOST IMPORTANT, the Forgiveness of Sins.

    We have two types of paralytics in our lesson this morning, physical and Spiritual. Unfortunately, we will see how the spiritual paralytics actually want to remain how they are, rather than see the Great physician. The healing we read occurs in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and what is really ...read more

    Spiritual Milk Or A Thanksgiving Feast Series

     | 1,793 views

    On Thanksgiving day which do you prefer? Milk or a Thanksgiving feast? The writer of Hebrews has a candid conversation with those who were spiritually missing out on the best instead of Spiritual meat- they were on Spiritual milk. How do we do the opposite?

    When we think of Thanksgiving we often think of food. While we all know that Turkey is the top food for the Thanksgiving meal in America; the favorite side dishes vary. Yet, this week I did a little study to see which side dishes are America’s favorite. Are you ready for this? 1. Stuffing; of ...read more

    Preventing Spiritual Identity Theft Series

    Do you know who you are? Do you know you're identity in Christ? Might seems like a small matter, until you are stripped of it. Then it can make all the difference in the world.

    It’s not often that the start of a New Year just happens to coincide with a new series. But it’s January 1, 2023, and as the Lord would have it, that is exactly what has happened. We recently finished our study in the Book of Romans, and we will proceed this morning right through the New ...read more

    The title of this sermon may not make a bit of sense…but it is my sincere prayer before I complete this sermon it will make sense and you will understand the seriousness of SPIRITUAL AMNESIA THAT LEADS TO APOSTASY.

    I want to show you two things about AMNESIA AND APOSTASY. First, let us look at… I. AMNESIA WHAT IS AMNESIA? When a person has amnesia they forget some very important things in their life, such as… • They forget who their loved ones are...ISN’T THAT SAD! • Where they live… ISN’T THAT SAD! ...read more

    Many Christians today have their eyes set on rolling hills of worldly blessings, never realizing we have within our grasp the richest reserve of blessing in Jesus that will never go empty.

    We have discovered from Peter that to become like Christ, there are some things we need to add to our faith

    We have seen that we need to add to our faith : • VIRTUE - We need virtue because virtue is what sets the boundaries of what WE DO and DO NOT DO! • KNOWLEDGE - We need knowledge of WHO HE IS and WHAT HE IS LIKE if we are going to become like Him. After he tells us to add virtue and knowledge, he ...read more

    A man was watching a wood carver carve a six foot bear out of a large chunk of wood. The man was fascinated as he watched him and he finally asked him, “HOW DO YOU DO THAT?”

    The wood carver said, “It really isn’t as hard as it looks. What I do is get a huge piece of wood, and I carve out everything that does not look like a bear!” This is what God is trying to do with our lives. He wants to cut everything that does not look like Christ out of our lives. Peter shows ...read more

    One of the best ways you can determine that a person is a SPIRITUAL PERSON is by the way they spend their TIME and MONEY.

    We are fooling ourselves when we think we are SPIRITUAL yet our TIME and MONEY reveals we are like the carnal people of this world who only care about cars, boats, campers, houses and clothes. The way we spend our time tells a great deal about us. Because time is important to us, most of us ...read more
