    Peculiar People

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021
     | 4,054 views

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

     | 7,633 views

    While we live on earth, temptation and sin will try to infect us like common disease. Only God and you know the true condition of your heart and your spiritual life. We are to examine ourselves or have regular checkups to monitor our spiritual health.

    Intro: Notice from the verse the word “examine.” Most of us go to the doctor AFTER getting sick. Some go to the doctor BEFORE getting real sick. Moreover, very few go to the doctor for regular checkups even when they are well. While we live on earth, temptation and sin will try to infect us ...read more

    Follow Jesus--Not Your Feelings Series

    Are you a little proud you attend church? Do you feel a little superior to those folks who sleep in or are out on the lake? There is no room for spiritual pride in grace, because in grace, it’s all about boasting in God not in our goodness.

    INTRODUCTION If you were around in 1975 you might remember the one-hit wonder “Feelings,” by Morris Albert “Feelings, nothing more than feelings; / Trying to forget my feelings of love; / Feelings, whoa, whoa, whoa feelings…” This is the sappiest song I’ve ever heard. It was never was one of my ...read more

    The King Who Went From Smashing To Crashing

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 27, 2014
     | 6,466 views

    Here's a king who, because of pride and rebellion, chose to look only to doctors and not to God for his healing. His stance was a result of waning faith, going against his previous experience, and even against his knowledge of God’s character.

    THE KING WHO WENT FROM SMASHING TO CRASHING 2 Chr. 16:12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There’s a lot of concern for our Olympic athletes going to Sochi, Russia, due to terrorists. It reminded me of… 2. There was an American basketball player that had a tournament in Belfast, N. Ireland, a ...read more

    Our study continues with a few serious matters. The place of PRIDE and GOSSIP is opened up, plus some thoughts on MONEY; and the way some like to dominate others. They all cause tensions in churches. Faithful, honest preaching is vital to reduce potential conflicts.

    DEALING WITH TENSIONS AND CONFLICTS IN CHURCHES AND CHURCH ORGANISATIONS – PRACTICAL EXAMINATION AND SUGGESTIONS – PART 2 Last time we began a list of issues that I have seen over my lifetime that can cause tensions and conflicts in the church.

    God calls us to be holy as He is holy. Is this even possible? Consider these thoughts about how we are holy.

    Satan's Tactics

     | 12,556 views

    Satan is no different today than he has ever been; the nature of temptation and sin is really no different. Christians can better fight against evil by going back to Genesis and discovering how Satan operates.

    Satan’s Tactics Do you ever get the feeling that Satan has changed? When I look at how evil our world has become and consider the temptations that people are faced with, I am tempted to say that Satan has changed. I’m tempted to say that the nature of sin has changed. Sometimes it appears ...read more
