    Fourth sermon in a series on the use and abuse of the tongue.

    It should be the goal of every Christian to make sure that they avoid the tragedy of having a saved soul, but living a wasted life. This is the subject of our passage for today.

    Over and over and over Jesus says: The kingdom of heaven is like… Then he goes on to explain it. Before we wrap up this series we need to take a look at one more parable and it’s found in Matthew 13:47-53. This parable amplifies what has already been s

    Over the past four weeks we have been looking at word pictures that Jesus painted for us. Do you see the pictures?

     | 7,957 views

    Waiting for the Lord constitutes an act of faith. This is not an easy proverb to follow since we are such activists. Like Job, we, too, need to learn that it is more important to trust God than to have answers to all our questions.

    "Waiting for the Lord" Psalms 37:34-40 Sept. 26, 2004 PM Icebreaker: When are you the most anxious? 34 Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it. 35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green ...read more

    Communicating With God: How To Listen To God’s Voice One of the basic claims we have as Christians is that God is alive and He wants to have a relationship with us.
