     | 34,142 views

    This sermon is the eighth in a series of ten on Motivational Spiritual Gifts which communicates the characteristics of the gift of Administration in order to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal this gift to those who have it.

    This sermon is the seventh in a series of ten on Motivational Spiritual Gifts which communicates the characteristics of the gift of Giving in order to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal this gift to those who have it.

    In Romans 12:8b, the second phrase says in the KJV, “he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity or liberality.” The NIV says “if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously.” One of my favorite advertisements is the Red Cross Blood Banks appeal to “Give the Gift that ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,209 views

    The Apostle Peter shows us that when we work through suffering in a godly way, those habits and sins we cannot rid ourselves of, start to fade away.

    What is the thing that Americans fear the most? It is not taxes, or speaking in public, or even death…no. What Americans fear the most is – suffering. It can all be summed up when a loved one dies and death comes quickly to them. What do we say? At least they didn’t suffer….. Americans fear ...read more

    What would you have done? Allow your mind to open for a moment, drift with me and consider If you were God, think of it if you had the power to create all things as he has and the power to know all things as he does and no one could tell you what to do… Then In your wisdom oh mighty one what ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,720 views

    What does it mean to serve Christ? Paul talks about servant-leadership in this passage and calls for humility among those who think they are wise and brilliant enough to lead the church.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT SERV ING CHRIST Whenever a title like this is used several thoughts go through our minds: “You mean there is something false about the way we serve?” “There’s a ‘truth’ I didn’t know about?” “Is this something new?” To set your minds at ease I must confess that this is nothing new ...read more

    Sin is not just a problem for non Christians, but also for those who are called "children of Light." This text highlights the transforming nature of the light of Jesus as we let it expose our sin.

Without looking up from the item she was examining, his wife asked, "Was it worth the trouble you’re in?" This little joke makes us laugh in part ...read more

     | 26,605 views

    Our god is a God who restores. Even at those times when we feel all is lost, God is there and he promises to restore us, but it may not be in the ways we expect.

    A GOD WHO RESTORES Restoration. What a powerful word. What do you think of when you hear that word (pause). Perhaps you imagine your health or marriage restored. Perhaps you imagine your youth or your family restored. Perhaps you imagine you career that is failing or your self-esteem restored. ...read more

    This is the fifth message in the series. This sermon deals with the two directions or path for those who have died. The path of the unbeliever and the believer. For the believer it is a trip to heaven. For the unbeliever, it is a trip towards judgment

    This sermon from the Greatest Commandment passage seeks to help those with a low self-esteem to learn to love themselves on the basis of the truth of God’s Word and God’s Love.

    There’s a song by John Stallings that reminds me of the message this morning. It speaks about the bottom line principle that will enable you to love yourself. The song is entitled, “Learning To Lean.” The greatest commandment passage has within it the most posing challenge for you and for me; ...read more

    Although there are some who make light of their struggle with sin, those of us who take our walk with Christ seriously are keenly aware of the reality of that struggle. It is real. And sometimes it is overwhelming.

    Free At Last Text: Romans 8:1-4 Introduction: Everytime scientists come up with a cure for a physical ailment that has been plaguing humankind, an air of excitement is felt.

    Paul and his team authentically modeled the message, focusing on the praise of God, not men. We must do the same and be as gentle as a mother and as firm as a father with those we are hoping to influence.

    Marks of a Healthy Church After the sermon last week, someone came up to me and asked me a question: “If First Thessalonians is one of the shortest and easiest books to understand, why are you taking 14 weeks to preach through it?” I told him that he should be glad I’m not preaching through the ...read more
