    The Fruit of The Spirit (Part 10) How is gentleness developed in our lives? Sometimes we learn gentleness through God’s tender touch, and at other times we learn gentleness through difficult situations. (See sermons in Word format at www.praiseag.org)

    What does the Bible mean by salvation and why is it so great?

    Hebrews 2:3 So great salvation! Salvation What do we mean when we use the word salvation? We use it frequently, but what does it really mean? In normal English we might say Barney saved Fred when his yacht overturned. We mean that Barney rescued Fred from drowning. The way that it is used in the ...read more

    Kindness is a nondescript fruit that is very important for our growth in Christ.

    INTRODUCTION SLIDE #1 • Today as we carry on with out look at the fruit of the spirit, we are going to take some time to examine a fruit that seems to be pretty nondescript on the surface. • Kindness seems like something that is pretty ordinary, but when you start to really think about it, ...read more

    Building God’s Church through Service(Bob Russell - When God Build’s a Church)

    Ministers often hear excuses from folks whom they have asked to serve in some role in church. The next time you feel like GOD can’t use you, just remember...

    Sin is our greatest problem as human beings. Only confessing our sin to God and asking for forgiveness will help us.

    What is the greatest problem we face as human beings today? Greenhouse gases and climate change? Terrorism? Civil wars? Overpopulation? The ever-increasing gap between rich and poor? The world-wide epidemic of HIV/AIDS? On a more personal level, perhaps it’s the breakdown in relationships between ...read more

    Phrase two of the Creed, "And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord."

    JESUS, THE SON TEXT: Matt. 3:13-17; 2 Sam. 7:11b - 16 For those of you just tuning in, we have begun a look at one of the ancient maps of the Christian faith, the Apostles’ Creed. I think it’s fair to say that every line of this creed has been questioned and debated from the very beginning. ...read more

    The Meaning Of Love

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 8, 2001
    based on 231 ratings
     | 12,130 views

    Jesus teaching on love is totally radical. He pushes us to practice love, rather than giving excuses, and he points out that to love is to be a neighbour to anyone we might come across who needs our care.

    You may remember the Beatles, back in the 60’s singing "All you need is Love." There’s no doubt that there was a great truth carried in those simple lyrics. If we were to look around the world today, it’s clear that a good dose of love would cure many of the world’s ills. But it’s easier said than ...read more

    What does it take to be a true follower of Jesus Christ? It takes white hot commitment and looking for and doing the perfect will of God.

    PRIORITIES Luke 9:57-62, "And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

     | 8,349 views

    The Bible talks about GOOD sleep, and BAD sleep. There are times to sleep and times to rise up out of sleep. This message explores several in the Bible who were caught "sleeping".

    WORDS OF DISTINCTION – “Sleep” INTRODUCTION: We continue in our series on “Words of Distinction”. We have studied the words “daily”, “adoption”, and “rather”. TONIGHT, we look at the word “sleep”. “sleep” is a funny thing. When you need the rest, SLEEP often doesn’t come. You toss & turn … ...read more

    No doctrine, if true, should contradict other Scripture texts. "Once Saved Always Saved" is a teaching which, on the surface, seems to be scriptural, but if it is rigorously compared to a broad spectrum of Scriptures, it becomes clear that it violates a g

    ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED? Proponents of “Once Saved Always Saved” teach that once a person has been converted, “all the sins he may commit from idolatry to murder will not make his soul in any more danger" (theologian Sam Morris), even if he never repents those sins! They say that ...read more

    We can resist temptation by refusing to take short cuts

    What this woman does stands in stark contrast to all of the other players. When we read of her deed side by side with Jesus’ hate-filled adversaries, the treacherous Judas, and the confused and misguided disciples, we can’t help but ask ourselves, where
