    Individual Purpose Vs. Corporate Purpose

    Contributed by Steven Spillman on May 1, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,263 views

    Doesn’t God have a purpose for mankind in general or for the church as a whole? Isn’t focusing on individual purpose a little self-serving? Aren’t we pushing individualism at the expense of the Body of Christ?

    Up to this point, Purpose Weekly has focused on individual purpose. But what about corporate purpose? Doesn’t God have a purpose for mankind in general or for the church as a whole? Isn’t focusing on individual purpose a little self-serving? Aren’t we pushing individualism at the expense of the ...read more

    You Shall Not Murder Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021
     | 3,098 views

    The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

    Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more

    based on 101 ratings
     | 24,096 views

    There are two main defects that can effect a Pious Life: (1) they have a mistaken version of Piety as Holy Joe and Mechanical Martin or (2) they knowingly reject Piety for self-fulfillment like Phil the Pharisee.

    After some research I discovered a couple of things that are commonly mistaken for Piety. Piety is not being a quote a Holy Joe We all have are own conception of a Holy Joe, but there are some common basic characteristics. A Holy Joe will go to church, why ( Pause) because their family has ...read more

    How To Please God

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 23, 2023
     | 1,692 views

    We can’t live up to our own expectations any more than we can live up to everyone else’s demands. For a Christian, the goal is not to please self, but to please God.

    THE GOAL OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO MAKE US THE BLOOD BOUGHT SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD AWARE OF THAT THE WORDS THAT COMES OUT OF OUR MOUTH HAS THE POWER TO DAMAGE LIVES OR EVEN DETERMINE LIFE IT`S SELF

    James 3:3-12 (MSG) 3 A bit in the mouth of a horse controls the whole horse. 4 A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds. 5 A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything—or destroy it! ...read more

     | 28,171 views

    This section warns against self-centered planning. Worldly living is not displayed only by a disbelief in God, sometimes it’s apparent in the disregarding of God as we plan our life & our daily activities.

    JAMES 4:11-17 PROPER PLANNING [Luke 12:16-21] It is too easy for Christians to make plans and set goals, expecting God to fall in line behind them. It is easy to plan our lives as if we controlled the future and had unlimited authority over the factors that affect our life. And so, in reality ...read more
