    SE7EN: GR3ED 1 Timothy 6:6-12 May 18, 2008 True or false. The bible says that money is the root of all evil. Who votes for true? False? It is false.

    Following our series, THINK Before You Speak, this series carries the logic to our actions. Like the previous series, there are five points, corresponding to the fingers on the hand to be used as a mnemonic device. Solidly biblical and very practical.

    What’s the big deal with marrying unbelievers? Well, don’t be too quick in thinking it is not a big deal! The Bible addresses the idea of separation of believers all the way through. Genesis 6 seems to introduce the topic.

    Genesis 6 - Part 4 - What’s so bad about believers marrying unbelievers? In this passage we see mutations such as giantism. We see great evil on the face of the earth. Perhaps these big guys were even worshiped as gods (I think we have established that they weren’t aliens earlier on). I suggested ...read more

    Jesus stopped and had compassion for one of those blind men and I don’t think it was by just coincidence. We are going to look at this part of the blind mans life and how he was made whole forever

    You would think that while Jesus Christ was teaching to His own people that they would sit in amazement and soak in all that He could teach them while He was here on this Earth. But that was just not the case. As a matter of fact it looks like that if they had studied and believed the Old ...read more

    When we think of spiritual warfare, frequently we see people casting out demons, covering everything from depression to toothache to the stubbed toe. The fact is not everything is a demon, and here we learn of the different enemies.

    INTRODUCTION When we speak of spiritual warfare Christians seem to basically divide into two extreme camps: The Ostrich camp and the Flip Wilson camp. • The Ostrich Camp. I know more than one mother who wept over their wayward child because they ignored the power of demonic forces that was ...read more

    Easter 6: We are so good at picking sides - at finding reasons to finding reasons to choose reasons for thinking that we are better than others. The lessons of the early church drive us to question this and to ask: For whom is Easter?

    A few years ago some friends from this part of the state visited us when we lived in San Antonio. We took them to lunch at a popular restaurant in San Antonio and there saw a bunch of people wearing “Go, Spurs, Go” t-shirts.
