    Turn Or Burn

    Knowing the cycle of disobedience to God and loss of blessings that Judah and the people of Isaiah experienced time and time again, it would not seem like much of a risk in predicting that the very same fate awaits this nation of ours. There will be suff

    Crises have their advantages. They focus our attention on things we tend to take for granted. Like oil. Now we realize there is no illimitable supply. And how much of it we waste. It’s the same with time.

    Re-Learning To Pray

    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,095 views

    As much as we might like to, we just can’t measure up to the prayer life of Jesus. Because of the Fall, we need to re-learn what it means to communicate with God on His terms.

    Re-learning to Pray Matthew 6:9-13 Via TV this week I met Meghan. The weekend after Megan’s high school homecoming she was in a horrible car accident that left her in a coma for several weeks.

    On a day when we focus on motherhood and parenthood and their effects on us, we can learn much about how we can live so that our families and friendships are all that God wants them to be.

    Joshua 24:14-15, Psalm 27:1-5 “Focus on Family and Friends” INTRODUCTION A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: “My full name has six letters. The first one is ‘M.’ I pick up things. What ...read more

    Commitment

    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,535 views

    Why is it that Christians often need to be motivated to give when God has given us so much? God had provided for the Corinthians in such a wonderful way and yet they were hesitant to share what they had with others.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: W. A. Criswell tells of an ambitious young man who told his pastor he’d promised God a tithe of his income. They prayed for God to bless his career. At that time he was making $40.00 per week and tithing $4.00. In a few years his income increased and he was tithing ...read more

    Most of us are familiar with the Lord’s Prayer, and some of us have attended churches where it was recited every Sunday.

    When you reach a level of spiritual maturity you no longer ask what you can get from God, but what can I give God to show how much I love him.

    One of the harshest questions Jesus asked was asked of the Pharisees: "How shall you escape Hell?" As much a byword of legalism as they were, we must be careful we don’t fall into the traps that ensnared them.

    The Story

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 9, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,425 views

    Why is so much of God’s word narrative? Why did God chose story to instruct us and call us to Christ? There is power in a story. God’s story has the power to save us.

    As we study through the gospel of Luke, or any of the gospels for that matter, we find God’s word communicating with us on a different level than direct instructions. God has chosen to use a wide range of literary genre as he inspired his Word to us. The gospels are more than historical stories ...read more

    New Life For A Dead Man

    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,552 views

    This sermon deals with the born again experience which seems to have lost its place among much of the sermons of our day. Because there seems to be such a need for the "help" type of preaching for the troubled lives of church attenders.

    Scripture: John 3:1 – Title: “NEW LIFE FOR A DEAD MAN” Introduction: The title of the message may sound a little shocking, but it couldn’t be truer. In 2:23 we are told that the people’s faith had been awakened by the miracles they saw Jesus perform. In the last few verses of chapter 2 we are ...read more

    Jesus is no foreigner to prayer. He knows it intimately and He also knows that a heart that is unforgiving will make prayer ineffective and dead. The bondage of unforgiveness is something that will weigh us down so much that our prayers will be fruitles
