    The importance of humbling ourselves, submitting our egos and pride to God, and embracing the freedom that comes from seeing ourselves in the proper biblical light.

    Hey there, Church! Today we're going to jump right into a deep topic that impacts every single one of us - our view of ourselves. Now, let's not kid ourselves, it's a tough one. We're all guilty of letting our egos run the show from time to time, aren't we? But you see, Scripture has a whole lot to ...read more

    So, You Think You're Not A Pharisee?

    Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 28, 2014
     | 4,774 views

    Christ directed the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican Praying in the Temple to those who trusted in their own righteousness. We are more prone to trust in our own righteousness than we might think. This self-trust can keep us from being merciful.

    Over the years, we have all heard preachers address the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican praying in the Temple. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast ...read more

    Self- Control

    When the Spirit has control of our thoughts and actions, then we'll be able to think before we act and have the willingness and strength to follow God's will for our lives. Self-control requires that we think before we act.

    Self- Control (Fruits of the Holy Spirit) Gal 5: 22 1. Psalm: 11 2. Judges 16:4-18 3. Genesis 39:11-18 Today we come to the ninth and final fruit of the Spirit – the fruit of self-control. Self-control means having power over your body’s desires and passions. It is impossible to succeed in ...read more

    Christians are to put off the old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires and put on the new self created to be like God!

    Sometime this morning, you decided you were going to go to church. And so, you decided what to wear to church and you put on the clothes you are wearing now. We do this daily don’t we? We decide what clothes to put on for the day! Of course, some of you took a little longer than others to decide ...read more

    What Your Tongue Saya About You

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Oct 27, 2013
     | 6,697 views

    We get mad when people say nasty things about us but what about what we say to ourselves? Too many times we allow satan to tear us down from the inside out and to use our thoughts against us. Believers need to bring every thought unto captivity to Christ.

    What Your Tongue Says About You There have been countless sermons preached on the power of the tongue. I have preached a few of them myself over the years and many of those sermons were talking about how what we say affects other people and that’s very important because what we say to and ...read more

    This sermon focuses on culture's addiction to creating various versions of a "false-self" and how only God gives us access to the "true-self" made available through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

    If you have your Bibles with you today, open up to Matthew 16:24. That is the passage, and by the end of the sermon, I promise I will get to it. If you have been here for a while, you know that we have begun a summer series called “Do not conform. Be transformed”. That series is based on the ...read more

    Being Christ-like means surrendering all my life while learning to trust the process of God’s sanctification

    We continue our series of “Escape” by looking at another area that keeps us from experiencing the freedom Jesus’ coming and rising offer us.

    If you think on your wants’ long enough, they will become a Need!

    The Bible says the eyes of man are never satisfied. This curse of want is never being satisfied with the Lord’s blessings. If our relationship with Him is true, then our hearts will reflect this in our words. 1. Cursed because We have TURNED FROM THE LORD! ( Deut.30:17 ) a. Turned from ...read more

    Peace of mind comes to those who think obediently. Paul gives us great instruction here and promises that the God of peace will be with us as we practice Christian thinking and doing.

    Can you control your thoughts? Not that you have absolute and total charge over everything that goes on in your mind, but, can you decide to think about something if asked? If you can’t, we need to get help for you. Perhaps I should start all over and ask how much control do you have over your ...read more
