    Authentic Christianity

     | 14,341 views

    The church was never meant to be a “secret society” or an “exclusive group of elites.” We were never meant to exist for Sunday! We were never meant to be a club of positive thinkers who would tell each other how good we are.

    Authentic Christianity INTRODUCTION: If you want to know what someone is all about, just listen to what they say. Jesus once said: “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh”. The Living Bible puts it this way: “Whatever is in the heart overflows into speech”. Sometimes I ...read more

    Christian Security

     | 6,671 views

    Some Christians seem to have more confidence in the security of their homes than they do the security God has promised. Consider these three areas in which we can rest assured of God’s security.

    What kind of security do you have in your home? Do you have any at all? It might just be something as simple as a dead-bolt lock. Or, maybe you have some of those motion-sensored lights that will turn on automatically if someone walks by it. Or, maybe you have a guard dog. Sometimes those ...read more
