    An Unadulterated Heart

    Contributed by James Groce on May 2, 2001
    based on 69 ratings
     | 2,895 views

    Often, to say a thing is pure is to say that nothing else has been added to it, whether clean or unclean. In this sense, pure denotes something that is free of foreign elements.

    An Unadulterated Heart Text: Mt. 5:8 The Greek adjective katharos meant "clean" or "pure." A "catharsis" is a purging or cleansing. Katharos often meant something that had been purged. A soiled garment that had been washed. Corn with the chaff winnowed out. An army purged of unacceptable ...read more

    It is evident that in this text that something more than just the removal of a man from the treasurer position and the appointment of a replacement. It is clear to see that there is an eternal picture being painted in this portion of scripture. There is

    Isaiah 22:15-25 (KJV) Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, 16What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that ...read more

    Balancing Privilege And Responsibility

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Apr 27, 2003
    based on 39 ratings
     | 4,061 views

    Have you ever wondered to what degree privilege brings responsibility? In this age of great privilege people need to know something about their responsibilities or they will squander great opportunities.

    Privilege Brings Responsibility (Rom. 3:1,2) Illustration:When Queen Victoria was a child, she didn’t know she was in line for the throne of England. Her instructors, trying to prepare her for the future, were frustrated because they couldn’t motivate her. She just didn’t take her studies ...read more

    "Should We Really Be Afraid Of Death?”

    Contributed by Paul Weidner on May 26, 2004
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,591 views

    If we take the time to realistically examine our culture, especially our western culture, we will readily see that death is not something we think about very much.

    For Christians, the season of Lent is the time of our church year like no other because our focus is drawn on a very unpopular topic, death. We are taken on a journey covering the last weeks of Jesus’ ministry, which ends with his horrible torture and death by crucifixion. But because we ...read more

    "Plugged In"

    Contributed by Michael Walker on Mar 9, 2003
    based on 116 ratings
     | 25,308 views

    To make it plain…nothing works unless it’s plugged in. When something is unplugged, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t do what it is intended to do.

    "Plugged In” - John 15:5 - "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing" To make it plain…nothing works unless it’s plugged in.

    Why is it so important that people know your ministries vision? You can’t really come in alignment with something if you don’t know what it is.

    Why is it so important that people know these things? You can’t really come in alignment with something if you don’t know what it is.

    We all have something that we struggle with, but God wants to bring us to a place of total victory. He wants you to put your foot on it.

    Gibeon was a great city, but now Gibeon was a threat to the kings of the Amorites Because it had chosen the Lords side. The leaders of the city of Gibeon recognized that God was with Joshua and the children of Israel and they had come into covenant with Joshua and the ...read more

    His Poverty, Our Wealth

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 22, 2009
     | 4,021 views

    Ours are uncertain times, like those into which Jesus came. But God in Christ invested for the long haul and pours Himself into something risky. So therefore can we.

    These are uncertain times. And in uncertain times uncertain people do irrational things, destructive things. People who are drifting, people who have no anchor, people who have no center - in uncertain times, such people do things which destroy. The pages of the calendar are turning toward ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,299 views

    Abraham was told by God to sacrifice his only son Isaac. God did not ask Abraham to do something God was not willing to do Himself. This sermon parallels these truths.

    Abraham is the Father of our Faith. In Genesis 12 God called him to be the leader of a great nation. In our story today God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son. Let’s study this story for truths we can apply to our lives. I. The request from God 22:1, 2 READ Notice in verse 2 God understood the ...read more

    In Peter’s life story we have the record of three times when he was off guard, relaxed, asleep. On each occasion there was something that he did not know.

    I Lay Me Down To Sleep Acts 12:6 Sleeping at the wheel is a good way to keep from growing old. The amount of sleep required by the average person is about five minutes more. Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone. People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t ...read more
