    Life is full of victories. Sometimes God loves us nearly to death. You don't have to win every fight to be victorious sometimes you just have to survive. The battles you do win are from God.

    “When God Lets You Win” “The Lord answered me with wide-open spaces.” Psalms 118:5 CEB Intro: A priest decides to paint his church one day. He goes out and buys some paint, comes back to the church, and then he realizes that he did not buy enough paint to do the job. ...read more

    We often mistake the means of worship for worship itself!

    WORSHIP: The Heart of Authentic Worship CORE VALUE: Worship is always worship! While there are a variety of fish, a fish is always a fish. Biologically, a fish is never a tree. A fish is never an insect. It doesn’t matter if it’s caught in a lake in Africa or a bayou in ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (4 Of 16)

     | 1,669 views

    In 1 John, chapter one, John had the audacity to tell some of those who claimed to be saved that they were liars.

    Evidently John never took a course in “HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE”. If he had taken it, he would have had a hard time passing the course. We know this because we see he called those people liars five times. He used “liar(s)” in: • 1 John 1:10. • 1 John 2:4. • 1 John 2:22. • 1 John ...read more

    We look at another reaction to Jesus’ claims from the Jewish crowds. The Jewish crowds had four false beliefs about Jesus. These beliefs are still prevalent in today’s society.

    Last time we looked at how to overcome any mocking or unbelief when it comes to us being Christians. We looked specifically at the response of Jesus’ half-brothers. Tonight we look at another reaction to Jesus’ claims from the Jewish crowds. The Jewish crowds had four false beliefs about Jesus. ...read more

    Emphasize the importance of obeying God's authority, respecting earthly laws, and avoiding the temptation to test God.

    Good morning, family. Today, we're gonna take a deep dive into a topic that touches every aspect of our lives - obeying God's authority, respecting the law, and steering clear of the temptation to test God.

    We must love others. We are to love in deed and in truth and not just in word.

    1 John 3:11-24 depicts the differentiation among love and hate, and how love should be found in the existence of every Christian believer. Evil has an envious scorn for goodness. For this reason, Cain killed Abel, and it is why hatred is viewed as murder’s spiritual identical. Christians are relied ...read more

    This is a sermon about listening for God.

    Mark 12:28-34 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?’ Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your God ...read more

    A sermon I preached using an outline from Chuck Swindoll.

    Intro: If you have ever been to a cardiologist, you probably know what a stress test is like. They hook you up to a monitor, then put you on a treadmill, turning up the speed until the monitor reveals the condition of your heart. And all the while, you’re walking your feet off trying to keep up ...read more

    Here and in other sources we see that there was at the time of Jesus a current of thought imagining that the Messiah, or some other righteous man, would die for the sins of the people.

    Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Course 2024 About fifty years before the birth of our Savior Jesus, an unknown Jew, probably living in Egypt because of the dispersal of Israelites by Assyria and Babylon, wrote what is called the Book of Wisdom.

    To surrender to the Judaizers was to negate the glory of the cross of Christ and to make the death of Christ on Calvary of no effect

    In a world of social media influencers, self-proclaimed prophets, false teachers, and endless noise, we are bombarded with voices that claim to offer truth, hope, and direction. But not every voice is from God. Some may sound spiritual or wise, but they do not carry the authority of the Lord.

    Go! And Test the Prophets - Deuteronomy 18:22 Opening Scripture Deuteronomy 18:22 (NLT): “If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message.

    You probably know that what we learn after we are out of school is much more than what we learned in the classrooms while we were in school.

    A mistake many high school students make is to think that one day they will graduate and never have to apply in their daily living any of the things they learned in those classrooms in the past twelve years. The reason they think that way is because we have been trained to think of a classroom ...read more
