    Live Out Loud Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 29, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,679 views

    James tells us that faith without works is dead. He is not saying Paul is wrong. Paul spoke about becoming a believer and follower of Christ, James is talking about behaving as a believer and follower of Christ. Out loud faith is not merely, words, thi

    Intro: What does your faith say? That is the question you should ask yourself this morning as you listen to this message. What does your lifestyle say about the God you say you serve? James is clearly pulling no punches as He deals directly with living, abiding full life generating faith. Does ...read more

    A little girl asked "if God is bigger than we are, and God lives inside of us, wouldn’t He show through?" She right, but what does Romans 8 tell us about how God does that.

    OPEN: A little girl who, on the way home from church, turned to her mother and said, "Mommy, the Preacher’s sermon this morning confused me." The mother said, "Oh! Why is that?” The girl replied, "Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true?" "Yes, that’s true," the mother ...read more

    Knowing His Love

    Paul tells us that there are four dimensions to Christ’s love that we need to not only perceive but to comprehend. These can't be understood naturally but require the Holy Spirit to illuminate our eyes to be able to grasp the wonder of Christ’s love.

    Knowing His Love Ephesians 3:14-21 As humans we can only visualize the world around us in three dimensions. Our nervous systems are equipped to conjure images in merely three dimensions. We can visualize height, width, and depth. It is difficult for us to imagine a fourth dimension. ...read more

    Genuine Godly Leadership Is Priceless

    It seems that there is a real vaccum for leadership in our world today. We say conservatism wins -- then we choose a moderate to lead us. Look at this story in Exodus. Read the whole chapter 32 and tell me who is leading and who is following. Moses or Aar

    Genuine Godly Leadership is Priceless Exodus 32:1-35 READ chapter – Delay – business meeting. We are planning for this coming Tuesday night.

    Intro Q. Have you ever been frustrated by a sense of powerlessness? - The depression epidemic is one aspect of this feeling of powerlessness - Some people are discontent with life & their jobs - They feel a sense of hopelessness & that they are powerless to change their position ---------------- - ...read more

    A Word To The Wise On Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 26, 2013
    based on 76 ratings
     | 38,323 views

    God calls us to live righteous lives. But Romans tells us that no one is righteous. So, God wants to me to be righteous. I want to be righteous... but no one is righteous so I can’t be righteous. How can that possibly make sense?

    OPEN: Back in 1929, Chicago had a problem. In fact, the tentacles of that problem infested much of the nation around Chicago. The problem had a name. And that name was Al Capone. Capone was a criminal. A wicked man who literally ran the city of Chicago. He owned most of the politicians and ...read more

    Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night. He discovers that his broken religious system cannot save him. Jesus tells him he must be born again (born from above - born by God). He explains to him to Look to Jesus and Live!

    “Look to Jesus and Live” John 3:1-17 “Religion can be boring. You don’t have to do any research to prove the point. Just compare the crowd at church with the crowds that attend baseball or football games. Apparently there is no excitement at church that compares with ...read more

    Freedom On God's Terms Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 26, 2015
    based on 23 ratings
     | 34,146 views

    When Moses met God at the burning bush he learned that Israel's freedom was to come on God's terms... not his, nor anyone elses. What were those terms and what do those terms tell us about our Freedom in Christ?

    In March 2013 - in Texarkana, Texas - a woman and her son were cleaning up their yard when they came across a black snake. Now, I don’t know if the snake was poisonous… but I do know it frightened them. In their panic they doused the snake with gasoline and then they set it on ...read more

    The Book of Revelation tells us to lean into our faith in a Christ who holds the future in his hands. Nothing can frustrate his eternal will, and that eternal will includes us who will be spending eternity with him in his eternal kingdom here on earth.

    A minister and his wife were on their way home on a Sunday evening. He was tired because he preached five times that day. His wife asked a question to which he answered in anger. Immediately he felt conviction and apologized to his wife. He said, “Forgive me. I’m quite tired. ...read more

    Our society has hijacked Christmas from all of us over the years turning it into one of the biggest commercial events ever. We have to stop this attack on our sacred holiday and tell the world sorry – Christmas is about The Prince of Peace.

    The Prince of Peace Isaiah 9:7 KJV Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.

    Having just returned from a trip to Israel, this is the first of my talks about what I learned. Bethlehem is the place God chose for Jesus to be born... but why Bethlehem and what does the present day city tell us about our faith?

    (For those who have been to the Holy Land and are thinking of making a presentation of your experiences, I submit this lesson as a guideline of what worked for my first of several lessons on Sunday Nights). Set up: My presentation was built around overhead projections of scenes found in Bethlehem. ...read more

    Let me tell you, the harvest that you get from spending time with Him is incredibly enormous; I may not get what I need now but I get the energy to endure sufferings, patience to wait, wisdom to talk and grace to walk.

    God and me! John 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you……” Ah, here we go, my incredible pursuit for God takes over everything else! Prep begins! It’s after school hours - most of you know that I work at our Abide School (School for the needy and under privileged kids) – ...read more

    Evil Doesn't Win

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,879 views

    If we want to please people then we'll tell people what they want to hear. We'll try to creatively interpret the Bible, so that they can do what they want in their bedrooms and with their sex life and yet still feel good about themselves.

    You can summarize the first two chapters of Romans this way: In the first chapter Paul says that people who do bad things are sinners. A lot of Christians can read the first chapter of Romans and feel pretty good about themselves. We'll say something like, "well, at least I'm not a murderer." ...read more
