    Are You An Enemy Of God?

    Contributed by Joe Rowland on Aug 10, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,089 views

    The world will try to kiss us with the kiss of death; we have to stay focused on Jesus as believers. We have to tell the world “NO WE ARE MARRIED”, we are married in a sense to Jesus! Are you an enemy of God?

    Are You An Enemy Of God? James 4:1-10 1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and ...read more

    Turning Your Worst Experiences To Your Best Legacy

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Nov 26, 2007
    based on 18 ratings
     | 7,330 views

    God over-turned and overcame the opposition of the Jews and the Romans allowing Paul’s worst time to become His best enduring legacy. Challenge - Can we, like Paul trust and obey God even when our best efforts for Him seem to initially fail?

    Turning Your Worst Times to Your Best Legacy (Acts 22) We see a lot of reality shows on TV today but perhaps my favorite is Bridezilla. It amazes me how what should be the best time of a young woman’s life turns out to be her worst legacy. The show chronicles the life and experiences of young ...read more

    Fellowship is fine, but the miraculous joy of Easter requires something more.

    Please note: The “Party Rules” herein referred to are taken in large part (and without permission) from P.J. O’Rourke’s Modern Manners, Chapter 19: Real Parties. We still tell the story in my family of how my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother -- Dad Benson and Mama Benson -- John and ...read more

    This message, based on Matthew 5:8, shows how impossible it is to have a pure heart without God’s help.

    Introduction: Read The Beatitudes ~ Matthew 5:3-10. Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” I.

    How the Old Testament Pentecost festival was fulfilled in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

    Shavuot – e.g. Pentecost in the Old and Net Testaments Last Sunday we have spoken about the festival of Pentecost as it is commanded by the Lord to be observed to the Israelites. We have spoken about the order of the Jewish festivals. In Leviticus chapter 23 we have the list of 6 or 7 (depends how ...read more

    A short sermon that parallels a high school pottery class with our potential in life and how the devil tries to make us waste our time on this earth.

    Matt 4:1-9 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he ...read more

    Human beings usually focus their attention on one thing at a time, so if they are given anything interesting to focus on, they will not pay attention to what is of value to them.

    Just as in a magic show, the major method at work when the destiny pickpockets prepare their attack is distraction. Human beings usually focus their attention on one thing at a time, so if they are given anything interesting to focus on, they will not pay attention to what is of value to them. In ...read more

    Love: A Fruit Of The Spirit Series

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 9, 2010
     | 3,806 views

    The battle that every Christian fights is not won or lost by whether we get more of God (we’ve already got all He’s going to give: 100%), the real issue is whether or not God will get more of us!

    The Bible is clear: if you are Christian, then you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you… buried below layers of body and soul (Romans 8:9-11). He’ll always be there – never leaving or forsaking you (Hebrews 13:5). In fact, the Apostle Paul even sarcastically reminds a church that has ...read more

    God’s Orchestration Of Christmas Series

    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,144 views

    It may seem like Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were at the mercy of innkeepers and emperors, but, in retrospect, the birth of Jesus amplifies God’s control and involvement in the entire matter. God is strong and in control.

    God’s Orchestration of Christmas (Luke 2:1-7) 1. This story broke this week from the United Kingdom: " LONDON (Reuters) – Gone are the days of shepherds in tea towels and tinsel-clad angels.

    Third in a patriotic sermon series.

    Paul and Silas were ministering in the city of Philippi when trouble befell them. It seems that the work they were doing was perceived by some to be a threat to their business, so they had them arrested, flogged, and imprisoned. Ever have one of those days when things don’t seem to be going too ...read more

    Many believers today are paralyzed by guilt, shame, doubt and fear. God's desire is to set them free and transform their lives into something beautiful, holy, and fruitful.

    THE NEW LIFE IN CHRIST New Things. We all like to get new things. A new car, a new hunting rifle, a new TV, a new phone– all of these are really good. Even better– a new grandson. Now, that’s the Best!! But, even as I say that, there is something new that’s even better than all of these........ ...read more

    Moses was walking, minding his own business, tending to sheep when he heard a voice from a bush that looked like it was on fire. When Moses woke up that morning he had no idea he was going to have a conversation with a plant that day. Who would? But there he was, in the middle of the day, ...read more

    Thanksgiving is a time when we pause to celebrate and give thanks to God for everything he has given us, and the best way to give thanks to God is to pray.

    Thanksgiving was approaching, and a family had received a Thanksgiving card with a painting of a Pilgrim family on their way to church. Grandma showed the card to her small grandchildren and observed, “The Pilgrim children liked to go to church with their mothers and ...read more
