    When faced with temptation, run the other way.

    Humpty Dumpty I like the Bible. Sure, it seems a given that a person in my position would, but I like it for more than just the obvious reasons. Reasons such as, it’s God’s Word, our directions for living, a history of Christianity. No, I like it for another reason, as ...read more

    Explores Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, emphasizing our human frailties, the power of God's Word, and the importance of resisting worldly temptations.

    Welcome, beloved, to this gathering of hearts hungry for the Word of God. We come together, not as perfect beings, but as flawed individuals seeking wisdom and guidance from our Creator. We stand together in the light of His love, ready to uncover the truths He has laid out for us in His Word. ...read more

    Though so often we start out with such good intentions, things happen in our life to trip us up from serving God. What are those things and how can we avoid them?

    Paul has just gotten finished encouraging us to pursue our relationship with the Lord and our being used by Him in the furtherance of the gospel like we were competing for the Olympic games, or in a boxing match where winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing! It’s a ...read more

    Jesus' baptism was high point of His life - but it led Him straight to the desert of testing and temptation.

    “Jesus 101: Drawing From Our Roots” Luke 4:1-13 & 6:46-49 The night of my Ordination – the time at which I officially became a Minister of the Word – is still vivid in my mind. The joy, the solemnity, the anointing through laying on of hands – when the night was ...read more

    We give credit to God for much but, we should never give credit to God for Tempting us. Rather the credit should go to God for helping us through our temptations, tests and trials.

    Temptations, Trials and Tests: Text: Genesis 22:1-18 Text: Mark 1:9-15 JOKE: I am going to lay claim to this joke because I have never heard anyone else tell it. So blame me first if you shake your head after hearing it. Here it goes: Did you know that cars existed in the days of Jesus? It is ...read more

    This is a Youth Day/Teen Day sermon (but good for adults as well) which talks about how Satan is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour and uses a real-life illustration of actor Roy Horn, who was bitten by his beloved tiger in Los Vegas.

    THE EYE OF THE TIGER A teenager is… --a whiz who can operate the latest computer without a lesson but can't make a bed --a student who will spend 12 minutes studying for her history exam and 12 hours for her driver's license.

    You don't have to be a loser. Unfortunately, many choose this route as a way of life. They never really become overcomers. Make the right choices, as hard and sacrificial as they may be. Remember Lot and Lots' wife.

    Central Text---Gen. 13:7-14 Lu 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; Lu 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

    God wants us to keep holding on to Him while trusting that He is not holding out on us!

    Holding On, not Out James 1:12-18 12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me."

    David makes a disastrous mistake toward the end of his life that has grave consequences. A number of lessons can be learned from this about accountability and humility in the face of temptation.

    Introduction: A. Let’s start with a knock knock joke. 1. “Knock Knock” “Who’s there?” 2. “Census!” “Census who?” 3. “Census summer time kids don’t have to go to school!” Good news for kids, bad news for parents. B.

    As we kick off the season of Lent in 2013 we take a look at the 40 days of temptation of Christ in the wilderness and see what this means to us in our lives for Christ today.

    There is a saying, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” This is the first Sunday of the Lenten Season. Lent is a non-essential. Lent is not a Biblical doctrine nor is it a Scripturally mandated activity. On the other hand it is not sinful nor ...read more
