    This morning, I want to make a comparison using something that everyone can understand, especially today. The Church and a football team.

TEXT: LUKE 11:14-23 TEXT VS.23 INTRODUCTION: God has a plan, He has a purpose for doing things and he gives us instructions on how to do them, they are found in His Word.

    victory in Christ

    Intro: there is a commercial on television where a man is pouring out his heart to a counselor in English, only to have the counselor respond back to him in French. Many times people come to church with a need for practical preaching, and they get deep theological studies that no one can ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,902 views

    This is part one in a two part sermon dealing with the hardships of family, dysfunctionalysm, and learning to forgive even your most unlikely enemies, your own blood.

    Matthew 10:34-42 You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Verse 36 in the text says, "And a man’s enemies will be those of his own household." "A man’s enemies will be those of his own household." Mmmm, mmm I feel God in here already. (Sigh) This word on today is by no means going to be an ...read more

    Matthew 10:34-42 You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. I dealt with this particular text on last week, and you all got all excited and I got caught up in the anointing, and many of us got delivered and had a high time in the Lord, and because of that I was unable to finish the text, and ...read more

    Where is the grace in ecclesiastical separation?

    Truth Trumps All Recently, someone I care deeply about asked me about the doctrine of ecclesiastical separation because she was concerned that no grace was being shown in that doctrine. Of course, the first passage that comes to mind is, Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? ...read more

    How To Have A Healthy Body Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,038 views

    Many parts of the Body of Christ seem to function as if they have an autoimmune disease, because members fail to recognize one another as parts of the same body, and often end up attacking one another.

    INTRODUCTION Psa 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! When the Church, which is the Body of Christ is functioning the way Jesus designed it to function, it is a wonderful environment to be in. It is an environment where each person is encouraged, ...read more

    In Psalm 9, David’s psalm of thanksgiving, the King reveals for us how to live a more thankful and appreciative life: by Witnessing, Worshipping, and Waiting.

    Out Of Frustration...peace Series

     | 4,041 views

    Just as God worked in the frustration of the first Christmas, He can use our frustrations and hurts to bring peace to us and to others.

    Introduction: [“12 Crazy Days of Christmas” video from Sermonspice.com] Holiday frustration. I think that little clip sums it up pretty well. The time of year when we focus on peace, we often find very little of it. The season that is supposed to celebrate the birth of the “Prince of Pease” is ...read more

    Fasting is a tremendous spiritual resource available to the Body of Christ.

    "Is This The Kind of Fast?" Is. 58:1-14 "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sins. 2 For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is ...read more

    A look at what it means to die to our selves.

    I began this message showing the video of the Monty Python sketch, The Dead Parrot. Obviously wouldn’t work in many churches. Death isn’t always that funny, as a matter of fact even the passing of a Parrot is seldom amusing. It isn’t always an easy subject to talk about and if you’ll pardon the ...read more

    Explores bread throughout the bible, compares bread as we know it today with scripture. Looks at some hard bits fom the bible and suggests that, like the hard bits in bread, they make God’s word "low Glycemic" (Low glycemic foods sustain us for longe

    Jesus said "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.” There’s a lovely passage found in Genesis 26 that describes the movement of a nomadic, god loving people including Isaac.

    The Greatest Power Is Often Simple Patience Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 15, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,594 views

    Life outside of Christ, Paul says. It’s angry life. Its confrontational politics and caustic talk shows. It’s accusatory e-mails that appear to have been sent from a flamethrower. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with patience.

    Opening illustration: This past week I read about a first-grade teacher who was having a difficult day. It had rained that entire day and the children couldn’t go out for recess, so they got more and more restless and hyperactive as the day wore on. The teacher couldn’t wait for the bell to ring ...read more

    Jesus tells a parable about two people whose debts were forgiven. In doing so, Jesus was teaching about God’s grace and challenging some religious perceptions of his day and perhaps ours.

    Parables of Jesus Become an Exhibitionist Luke 7:36-50 (41-43) April 19, 2009 We’re beginning a new series on the parables of Jesus. We will look at several parables over the next several weeks to try to understand how Jesus was using these parables to teach kingdom principles and challenge common ...read more

    WHAT KIND OF REVIVAL DO WE NEED? PSALM 85:6 INTRODUCTION A. In light of the times…there is no doubt that we are in need of revival. 1.
