    Ah ... free will. The ability to choose/decide for ourselves what is right and good and what isn't. However, as Solomon points out, we also got 'temptation' along with it and he beautifully illustrates the tension of temptation in Proverbs 9 between Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly.

    Ah … it’s a familiar story. Eve is strolling through the beautiful Garden of Eden when she is surprised by a talking snake. “Hey, how ya doing?” “Fine.” “What ya doin?” “Oh, Adam and I are just walking around … taking in the beauty of God’s creation.” “Oh, yeah? Lovely. Say, what about ...read more

    This is the first part of our series on James. We talked about the difference between trials and temptations and how to handle them.

    We are starting a brand new series today called a search for what is real. Between now and the end of June we are going to be walking through one of my favorite books of the Bible, and one of the most controversial ones, the book of James. When I was in college, I led a small group of high ...read more

    In this sermon we learn how Joseph was able to resist the challenging temptation he faced from Potiphar's wife.

    Introduction: A. Let me begin by asking you: “What is it that is most tempting to you?” 1. I think it is funny to watch cats stare at a fish bowl or a bird cage – it is so representative of temptation’s attraction. 2. When I was a kid we had cats and they would sit and ...read more

    The Bible says you can open up your innermost thoughts and just spill them out on the ground before Jesus. He’s not going to look at you like, “Oh gross!” He’s not going to laugh at you or mock you.

    We are beginning the new year by praying together as a church. Maybe you are not sure of yourself when it comes to prayer. If prayer were a high school sport, you’re not sure you’d receive a “letter” on your varsity jacket for prayer. Many of you have picked up the little book, 21 Days of Prayer. ...read more

    If we allow ourselves to be directed by our feelings and emotions then we will go back & forth. Paul simply says that we must make a choice. We must decide, not feel, whether or not we will choose God’s way or the world’s way.

    Transforming Your Mind Romans 12:1-2 Last time we met together, we found that God wants to make us into a NEW CREATION. He desires to TRANSFORM us into His image. That we can grow to be more like Him each and every day. This week, we are looking at Transforming our Minds. Let’s see what the ...read more
