    Money Does Strange Things

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Nov 8, 2003
    based on 75 ratings
     | 5,672 views

    Pastors’ Conference: A special sermon addressing the ethics of money. This was presented at a special worship service that was part of a monthly gathering of pastors.

    Money does strange things to people. I found this cute little story on the Internet that was carried in the December 1980 issue of Campus Life. (p. 19) It starts by asking: What’s the most outrageous thing you would do for $10,000 cash? The question was posed recently by Chicago radio station WKOX. ...read more

    Are You Still Being Saved Today?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 19, 2009
    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,002 views

    A message of how our salvation is not something relegated to the past; something that happened to us "once", but is actively being worked on in the present.

    We Christians talk a lot about our being saved, don’t we? But have you ever noticed that it always seems to be in the past tense? ‘Have you been saved?’ ‘When were you saved?’ I think the more appropriate, and perhaps the most accurate way of asking about one’s salvation would be, ‘Are you ...read more

    There is no time like the present to prepare for the future. We don’t always have time to cram for the celebration that is sure to come.

    What is God’s plan for the church? Is it to be a bunch of sacrificial people or is it to be people who Re-Present Jesus to a lost world?

    Living the Supernatural Life – Part Two: God’s Plan Last week we introduced the concept that many of us are living far below our potential (kind of like a eagle living with turkeys) when it comes to the supernatural life. We live on a plane of existence that the rest of the world does…an arena ...read more

    The beatitudes: 1. Are often misinterpreted. 2. Help us to be like God. 3. Are not promises for the present, but guarantees of our future.

    We Are Blessed Matthew 5:1-12 Blessed are those who have gone through a divorce. Blessed are those who cannot pay their bills and may be facing bankruptcy.

    We try so hard to make the gospel easy to accept, but the way Jesus presented it was bound to be confrontational in a sinful world.

     | 7,048 views

    Paul tells us how we can function as the body of Christ and thus, present the likeness of Christ to a lost world.

    Once again, the Apostle Paul discusses the unity of the local church. Here he uses the picture of a body to speak about how we are to function in unity. From Paul’s discussion of how God sees His church as being like a body, we learn four things about how the body (the local church) is to function. ...read more
