    I believe that most Christians in America are living unproductive, unfruitful, and basically selfish lives. One of the reasons I believe this is true, is what I like to refer to as the "holy huddle." The holy huddle is the tendency for Christians to

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,542 views

    When coming across scriptures that cannot be rationalized man has a tendency to NOT accept what the Bible explicitly reveals. Note the contrast of wisdom between God and man when dealing with the personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

    The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit Theme: Knowing whether the Holy Spirit personally dwells within the believer. INTRODUCTION A. Because Christians live in the flesh it is no wonder that we have difficulty understanding the things of the spirit. 1. The Bible teaches that the natural man cannot ...read more

    Turned On To The Truth

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Mar 17, 2012
     | 3,119 views

    The tendency is to avoid being concerned with the truth when life is a big party. But when the pressures of life are applied, and one understands that he has to be responsible; then truth means everything. It is high time for you to be excited about the

    EAGERNESS FOR THE TRUTH Phil. 1:15-20 15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. ...read more

    The Pitfalls Of Pride Series

     | 14,345 views

    Mankind has a tendency for pride and self-promotion. Pride results from our fallen state, revealing itself early in life. It has no conscience, seeking only self-satisfaction. Jesus reveals the remedy for pride.

    The Pitfalls of Pride Mark 10: 35-45 Man by his very nature has a tendency toward pride and self-promotion. The attributes associated with pride are revealed at a very early age. Children don’t have to be taught to be selfish; this characteristic is within their nature. Left unchecked our pride ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,590 views

    We have the tendency to avoid trouble and difficulty. We want to play it safe. If we would move into the realm of the supernatural, we must defeat our desire to stay in the Safe Zone and move into the Faith Zone.

    SAFE ZONE OR FAITH ZONE? Acts 9:10-19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Wife:" There's trouble with the car. I think it has water in the carburetor." 2. Husband: "Water in a carburetor?

    Have you ever found yourself driving around, desperately searching for a parking spot? It can be frustrating, especially when you have important things to do.

    The writer to the Hebrews encouraged his audience to pursue a radically transformed/cleansed conscience. People(with religious tendencies--everyone!) are in need of a radically transformed conscience. How can we pursue it? The pursuit of a clear consci

    There grows a tendency to lazy idleness in the church and in the families today. Apathy will destroy any spiritual grow. The harvest is before us... what role do you have? That's the preacher's job?

     | 13,962 views

    Power is one of the most sought after prizes in life. But when people get it, often the results are not positive. Power has a tendency to corrupt both the people who have it and the people who feel its effect.

    The Spirituality Trap

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 24, 2023
     | 1,285 views

    We have a tendency to see the shining mountaintop moments or the depths of despair as being the most spiritually significant. But genuine spirituality surfaces - and matures - in the daily decision to forgive, to tell the truth, to resist a temptation or to hold our tongues.

    My mom tells me that when we were little she could dress my sister and me up for church in starched white petticoats and send us out to play in the yard until time to leave for church and be absolutely certain that we wouldn’t have a spot on us. We LOVED to dress up. There was no way we were going ...read more

    Third message in the series "God’s Lost and Found from Luke 15. This message deals with the prodigal son and the fact that when we stray awy from God we don’t cease being His child. He welcomes us home with open arms.

    We started, several weeks ago, a series of messages on God’s Lost and Found from Luke chapter 15. We came to realize that this is not three separate parables, but rather one parable with three different parts, or examples that each illustrates the love of the Lord Jesus for those that are ...read more
