    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 10, 2011
     | 2,349 views

    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 sermon deals with the lure of the world for us to fall in love with it. Looking at the life of Samson shows what our love for the world will do for us. Jesus has a better plan.

    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. Maybe you have heard the old adage – we count people because people count. ...read more

    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." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor ...read more

    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.

    In man's heart and in his mind, there is the love of God that gives us the strength to resist all temptation campaigns launched by Satan to draw us further and further away from God, our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.

    IN THE WILDERNESS by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (July 29, 2015) "The Lord knowest how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished (2 Peter 2:9 King James Version [Temptation]). Greetings In The Holy Name of Jesus, My ...read more

    How's your warfare going?

    We often do not think about spiritual warfare and hence that explains why we do so poorly when we are engaged by the enemy. Doing battle with demons is something belonging to the past or what goes on in dark parts of Africa or among nations where voodoo priests cause fear in the ignorant. Yet, ...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.

     | 7,185 views

    Moses' life shows a pattern of anger issues. Because Moses never got control of his anger, he faced tragic consequences. This sermon will motivate us to do something about our anger with God's help.

    Introduction: A. There is a story told about a girl who was writing a paper for school and asked her father for help, "Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?" 1.
