    1. This morning we considered what it is that fill up our lives. The big items that we think about the most, that we work for the hardest, the things we would fight for the most if someone tried to take them away. The things that are our priorities. 2.

    Forgotten Forgiveness

    Contributed by Keith Linkous on Sep 5, 2001
    based on 76 ratings
     | 4,785 views

    For believers, this is the sadest thing that could ever happen. This message causes a self evaluation as to how well we remember that we are saved by grace, and owe our lives to God.

    Psalms 32:1-2 and 2 Peter 1:2-9 It really shouldn’t surprise us at the great lengths the Bible speaks of forgiveness. Our entire message, faith, belief, and life is based on that one thing: forgiveness. And in the Bible, in all the various ways forgiveness is discussed, there stands out, ...read more

    Does excellence matter to God?

    Does excellence matter to God? Does God care about quality? Is He concerned with how well things are done? Does it make any difference to God whether: the instruments are in tune; the worship team has rehearsed the songs, etc.? Some would say, "no." All God cares about is our hearts. It’s the ...read more

    Dream 9-29-08 I dreamed that my brother, Terry, was preaching a sermon on using God’s Name in vain. He emphasized phrases such as “GOOD GOD”, “JESUS”, “GOD”, “LORDY, LORDY”. He said all kinds of phrases we use that are wrong. He said that we use these

    We cannot be effective for Christ if we drift

    The Dangers of Drifting Hebrews 2:1 gives us a specific warning for just this type of spiritual situation.

    99 And 44/100% Pure

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Dec 4, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,656 views

    None of us are perfect, but maybe with the help of God we can get to be 99 and 44/100% pure.

    One of the real catchwords that advertisers love to use these days is pure. I guess the thinking goes that if the company can convince us, the consumers, that the product is pure, we will buy it. If we really stop, and we listen to what people are saying, we can hear them using the word “pure” ...read more

     | 8,641 views

    A lot of people have had questions about the purpose of the Sabbath. Jesus takes it head on and reveals a lot about how we should live our lives.

    Last time we ended with Jesus promising rest and peace for anyone who would come to Him and take His yoke—a yoke where He does the heavy lifting—no more striving to earn God’s favor by being good—only submitting lordship over your life to Him. The Jews got a picture of the rest of God through the ...read more
