    As we continue to follow the life of Abraham one would think after a event like separating from his own flesh and blood (Lot), that things would be different. But it is in times like these that God shines through.

    Abraham: Following in the Footsteps Of Faith GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAM RENEWED Genesis 13:14-18 Intro: Last week we looked at the trouble that arose between Abram and Lot, over the feeding of their livestock.

    In the Bible we clearly see the requirements for the manifestation of God’s glory. We will immediatly think that these requirements will be very difficult to fulfill. But as we will see it is actually very easy and simple if we are prepared to follow them

    Job 37:14 – 24 We all know the story of Job how he has lost everything. His friends come to encourage him and start speaking about the wonders and greatness of God. Job 37:21 Say that it is impossible for men to look into the sun and then vers 22 suggest that if this is true how more ...read more

    I Am The Vine

    So we have Jesus as the Vine, God the Father as the Vinedresser, and us as the branches. Having made those distinctions, let me share with you the lessons I think we can learn from this passage.

    A while back we began a study of the times throughout the Gospel of John where Jesus said, “I am…” I am the Light of the world. I am the Door. I am the Good Shepherd. I am the Bread of Life. Tonight I want us to close out this series by looking at another one of these statements that Jesus ...read more

    You Are Accepted

    Contributed by Doug Morrell on Dec 5, 2005
    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,318 views

    The reason we think and many times say such terrible things about others is that we do not truly accept that we are accepted. We are haunted by guilt because we have never accepted and forgiven ourselves.

    Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Or so we have been told. However, the Bible tells us that our words have the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21). God also tells us that only wholesome talk should come from our mouths and that we should encourage one another ...read more

     | 3,754 views

    I think Jesus is saying here that I can take care of divine multiplication, and I can handle a miracle! However, I can’t help those who take in and receive the leaven of this world!

    The Bad and Good of Leaven Text: Matthew 16:5-12 5 Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” 7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is ...read more

    Scoundrels In Heaven

     | 4,364 views

    We tend to think of some people as almost unsaveable, but is that true? And when Paul describes a litany of sinners, he also notes that "such were some of you." Truly, there will be scoundrels in heaven, including you and me

    Scoundrels in Heaven TCF Sermon November 16, 2014 In the midst of preparing this sermon this past week, our brother in Christ, Mike Ferrill, went to be with the Lord. I considered what the best way to honor Mike’s memory would be – to preach what I’d already begun to plan, or to ...read more

    The Balancing Act

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 29, 2013
     | 3,825 views

    We think of how important serving others and "convertng" others is, but we must be balanced. The process does not end in baptism it continues after. This is why Jesus told us to make "disciples" not merely "converts."

    Manipulation By Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 26, 2016
     | 5,816 views

    Manipulation is a dishonest method to control others, get our way, or make others think an idea was theirs; it stands in contrast to making honest straightforward requests. Manipulation by guilt is perhaps the most common form of manipulation.

    Manipulation by Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests (topical) 1. A lot of persuasion — even in church — can be based upon emotion and a lack of logic. “Pastor Smith was winding up his sermon about the dangers of alcohol and the need for temperance. He shouted, 'If I had all the ...read more
