    Godly Ambition Series

    Contributed by Bob Myers on Sep 8, 2020
     | 5,692 views

    Ambition is a common human motivation. We see it played out in the lives of countless men and women throughout history. In our text today, we observe two kinds of burning ambition. While the passion to achieve desired ends is similar, the motivation sets them worlds apart.

    Who Is This Man? Godly Ambition Mark 10:32-45 Ambition We often talk about people going through “phases.” That’s especially true for those who are growing through adolescence or some other dynamic season of life. “Oh, don’t worry about it,” we tell ourselves, “it’s just a phase.” Grown adults ...read more

    Is Isaiah Crying Marantha? (Advent 1 December 2020)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 5, 2023
     | 771 views

    Though we are not a post-exilic community, like the one in today’s text we too, want relief from our disasters of this tumultuous year. The one thing that quarantine has in common with being exiled is isolation. ... We too, want God to act and fix things.

    IS ISAIAH CRYING MARANTHA? (Advent 1 December 2020) Text: Isaiah 64:1 - 9 O that you would tear open the heavens and come down, so that the mountains would quake at your presence— 2 as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil— to make your name known to your ...read more

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 24, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,020 views

    This message covers the first six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 1).” The words of Jesus seen in our passage today are called “The Beatitudes,” and this does not mean “beautiful attitudes,” even though this phrase might have catchy ring. “The Beatitudes are blessed sayings.”(1) “The ...read more

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 2) Series

    based on 1 rating

    This message covers the last six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 2).” As we get started, I should remind us that the words of Jesus seen in our passage are called “The Beatitudes,” and that the word “beatitude” comes from a Latin term meaning “blessedness.”(1) But the term “blessed” used ...read more

    When There Is No One To Stand In The Gap Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 18, 2024
     | 1,111 views

    God makes a stunning statement here: there is no one left to stand in the gap on behalf of Israel. What does this passage tell us about the specific shortcomings of the people of God and the prophets of God in that day? And can this text encourage us today to stand strong amid a dark hour?

    OFF-TRACK: The American church is far from what we should be. - I think this is largely beyond dispute, so I won’t belabor the point. - Let me simply share one proof that I think is instructive. - When you look at the early chapters of Acts, there are many people who are coming to know Jesus. The ...read more

    I Knelt Today Where Jesus Knelt Series

    Do you ever feel guilty about not spending enough time in prayer? Me too. But did you realize the Bible never told us how LONG we should pray? Instead it teaches us HOW to pray.

    OPEN: There’s a favorite Christian song from years ago called “I walked today where Jesus walked” and it goes like this: “I walked today where Jesus walked, in days of long ago. I wandered down each path He knew, with reverent step and slow. Those little lanes, they ...read more

     | 6,082 views

    Text: Ephesians 4:1-6 In the Messianic Psalm 22 we read of the description of Christ on the cross feeling all his bones out of joint. Could this be a picture of the church today? We are one body and we should speak and act toward one another in love reg

    The Disjointed Body 9-2-01 Ephesians 4:1-6 The burden I have from the Lord this week is something I really need the inspiration, the breathing in, of Holy Spirit to communicate clearly to you. It came as sudden thought when I was asked if I had any insight about the bones of Christ. The Scripture ...read more

    The Wise And The Otherwise (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Nov 23, 2005
    based on 55 ratings
     | 7,368 views

    In today’s text we have what some have called "God’s Wisdom Test." This is a kind of personal exam by which you can see how wise or otherwise you really are in all your relationships. James lists 6 distinguishing marks of wise person.

    Scripture Robert Fulghum wrote a book titled "All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten."

    Worship - Part 2

     | 2,409 views

    We also looked last time at the five ways that God reveals Himself to us in worship. Tonight we will look again to our text in Isaiah and look at the fundamental responses biblical worship has to God’s revealing of Himself. Once we have done that, we will

    Worship – Part 2 Romans 12:1; Isaiah 6:1-11a; Revelation 4:8 In Part 1 of our study of biblical worship, we saw what worship is and what it isn’t, and we looked at Isaiah 6:1-11a, as a model for us to pattern our worship after.

    based on 47 ratings
     | 15,490 views

    The pride test is actually a three part test. We already covered the first part when we talked about selfish pride (Pride Test, Part 1). The second part of the test is about presumptive pride. That’s where our text takes us today.

    1. Presumptive pride is futile 2. Presumptive pride is arrogant 3. Presumptive pride is sinful Well, here we are, standing at the edge of a New Year. People use this time of the year for different things, don’t they? Of course, some people just use the New Year as an excuse to party. But most ...read more
