    Just Say No Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 24, 2003
    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,865 views

    Like Job’s friend Zophar, we eagerly find faults with others, thinking that pointing out their mistakes is all that is needed, and failing to build a relationship first. Contrast with Christ, who "became sin" for us.

    We are studying the very human issue of faultfinding during this Lenten season. We are using the story of Job and his friends, if you call them that, as they tried to console him, no, really, instruct him in his misery. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, three miserable comforters, Job said, because ...read more

    Some may look at the Christian life with its stresses and struggles and wonder if salvation is really worth it. But this message points out that what we have gained in salvation is well worth any struggles we might endure.

    Is Salvation Really Worth The Struggle? Text: Heb.2: 3; Ps.73: 1-24 Intro: The part of our text found in the book of Hebrews referred to salvation as ?great salvation.?

    Sex And The City Of God

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Feb 12, 2006
    based on 16 ratings
     | 2,806 views

    1. The Bible teaches us that sex is a gift of God. 2. The Bible teaches us that sex is sacred. 3. The Bible presents boundaries for the use of sex.

    With the advent of television’s Sex and the City, and a host of shows like it, it should be apparent that our nation is in a moral free fall. The whole idea of who we are and how we should live has become so distorted that it has corrupted our vision of what God created us to be. Rather than ...read more

That desire to be “somebody” can lead us to glorious accomplishment, or it can lead to the depths of degradation. It’s all in what motivates us. Do ...read more
