    A Sane Perspective Upon Discipline And Compassion Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 27, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,584 views

    Walking with God means we must be willing to mix discipline with compassion in the right ratios and in the right situations. There is a time to be firm and buckle down and a time to open your heart.

    A Sane Perspective Upon Discipline and Compassion (Proverbs 19:14-15, 17-18) 1. Discipline and compassion are connected. For example, if teachers do not keep a class under control, students cannot learn and that affects their futures. 2. A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is our Guide today and we must be open to His direction. When we try to go our own way we quench His efforts.

    It is not a sin to be tempted. Many Bible characters were tempted to sin, but did not succumb to it. You do not have to sin, though a part of living is being tempted.

    Songs We Sing: "must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone" Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 5, 2025
     | 452 views

    The song we will focus on is the worst hymn that has ever been produced (IN MY OPINION). Why is this hymn the worst? This hymn is the worst because it teaches incorrect theology about Jesus Christ.

    SONGS WE SING: ‘MUST JESUS BEAR THE CROSS ALONE?’ 1 Peter 2:21-25, Matthew 16:24-25 #BadBadHymn SING ‘MUST JESUS BEAR THE CROSS ALONE’ INTRODUCTION This morning we are continuing a sermon series called: “The Songs We Sing.” Part of worshipping God is singing.

    Saturday of the First Week of the Year 2023 I don’t know if our story from the Gospel of Luke is like the first time in history somebody used like the word “like” in a way that’s become emblematic of the early 21st century in the US, but here it is: “Jesus was like thirty-ish, being the ...read more

    When We Are At The Point Of Death – The Christian Perspective Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 3, 2023
     | 2,179 views

    While the Rapture is delayed everyone must reach the gates of death. What are those last days, hours, minutes like? We look at that, and questions around death. For Christians, the Lord Jesus provides the road through death into His presence FOREVER MORE.

    WHEN WE ARE AT THE POINT OF DEATH – THE CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE [1]. THE INTRODUCTION – THOUGHTS NEARING DEATH I would estimate very few want to face death, but for the committed Christians, they are prepared and happy to, because they know the truth of the verses - {{2Corinthians 5:7-8 “for we ...read more
