    Life According To Plumb

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 10, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,981 views

    We are drowning in a sea of impurity. Everywhere we look we find temptation to lead impure lives. The psalmist asked a question that troubles us all: how do we stay pure and holy in a filthy environment? Where can we find that strength and wisdom?

    Opening illustration: Charlie Riggs has been called “the man behind Billy Graham.” For nearly 40 years, Riggs was the director of counseling and follow-up for Mr. Graham’s evangelistic meetings. In his counselor training classes, Charlie taught thousands of people the basic principles of how to ...read more

    As Christians we're supposed to live a different life than those around us. But how can we do that when we're surrounded with so many temptations to do things we know we shouldn't do?

    Back in the 14th century, in the region we now call Belgium, there was a duke by the name of Raynald III. Raynald had a nickname – Crassus. Crassus means fat, and he was fat because he really liked to eat. He liked to EAT … a lot! In the course of time, he had a violent quarrel with his younger ...read more

    2 Adams, 2 Gardens, 2 Outcomes

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 15, 2021
     | 3,422 views

    To save us, God had to send a second Adam, who would face the same temptations, but not fail in his obedience to God. Jesus did it. As a result, His descendants have power over sin, are made righteous, and have a glorious future ahead of them.

    2 ADAMS, 2 GARDENS, 2 OUTCOMES 1 Cor. 15:45-47 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: ONE STEP CLOSER TO... 1. I once read about a rabbi sitting next to an atheist on an airplane. Every few minutes, one of the rabbi’s children or grandchildren would inquire about his needs for food, drink, or comfort. The ...read more

    The Limitless Love Of God

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jun 7, 2022
     | 2,572 views

    How should we respond to those who have radical beliefs and lifestyles contrary to our beliefs? The temptation is to counter their viciousness and label them as an enemy. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a model for the attitude that we are to have when faced with divisive social issues.

    If not careful, as we study the Bible, we will pick and choose passages that support certain points of view or principles to which we cling. Yet those who first heard what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount had no idea what Jesus was about to say. They understood the moralism of their day, ...read more

    Helmet Of Salvation: We Are Not Good Enough Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 9, 2023
     | 1,483 views

    When we encounter the completely true thought that “we are not good enough” our society and our need for self-esteem creep up and we take our helmet of salvation off because we are disillusioned with God and we open ourselves up for temptation and doubt.

    THE ARMOR OF GOD AND THE LIES OF THE ENEMY Helmet of Salvation: We Are Not Good Enough Ephesians 6:10-18 #armorofGod INTRODUCTION… Start with the End in Mind This morning I want to share with you where we will end up in our time looking at God’s Word and then I want to rewind and get us there. ...read more

    Sexual Immoraity In America

    Contributed by Steve Greene on Feb 4, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,554 views

    One of the clearest indicators of rebellion against God is the blatant rejection of God's guidelines for sex. When we sin sexually, we hurt ourselves, we hurt others, and we break the heart of God.

    We are ALL broken people born into a broken world. The evidence of that brokenness often shows up most obviously in the area of our sexuality. So many people—professing Christians included—are willing to give their heart to God, but it seems like they want Him to stay out of their bedroom and out ...read more

    A sermon examining the importance of Christ's followers being alert, vigilant and faithful.

    KEEP WATCHING AND REMAIN FAITHFUL Mark 14:27-42 Some people are natural early risers. They are up before the sun and ready to start their day. Somehow they do this without the assistance of an alarm clock. Not all of us are so fortunate! Because of my job, I have no choice but to be an early ...read more

    Heaven's Open Door Policy

    The Bible says you can open up your innermost thoughts and just spill them out on the ground before Jesus. He’s not going to look at you like, “Oh gross!” He’s not going to laugh at you or mock you.

    We are beginning the new year by praying together as a church. Maybe you are not sure of yourself when it comes to prayer. If prayer were a high school sport, you’re not sure you’d receive a “letter” on your varsity jacket for prayer. Many of you have picked up the little book, 21 Days of Prayer. ...read more

    Why does Satan lie & deceive & tempt & manipulate? And the answer is, "Because he doesn't have the power to force us to sin." If he could force you to sin there would be no need for temptation or manipulation."

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: Genesis 3:8-13; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 5:9-10 A. The first 2 verses of Genesis tell us that in the beginning our world was formless, empty & dark. But then God gave shape to the formless, brought light into the ...read more

    Spiritual Warfare: Declassified

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,931 views

    Satan doesn’t want you to think about spiritual things. Rather, he only wants us to dwell on our own selfish desires. Avoid the temptation to delay any thoughts of spiritual self-examination, and make it a priority to encourage others for self-examination

    Opening illustration: During any war, the enemy’s strategy is to conceal/hide some important information from the adversary so that they will not be successful in their endeavor. In fact the enemy will try to subdue the adversary so that they succumb to defeat. The information that they ...read more
