    I'm Not Perfect, But ... Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 21, 2003
    based on 95 ratings

    We justify not being mature by claiming that we are just like everyone else, or that we are at least working on that goal. But our example is Jesus, who gathers up our incompleteness into Himself and shows us the way to mature.

    When I first announced the title of this message, “I’m Not Perfect”, somebody was sharp enough to reply, “Yes, we’ve noticed, we’ve noticed.” Well, thanks a heap! Don’t you know by now that when I say something self-deprecating, you are supposed to shower me with compliments and bathe me in ...read more

    What�s in a Name TCF Sermon June 14, 1009 What�s in a name? Obviously not everything. The name, Kirk, for example, can mean �owned by the church.� That might describe me, but certainly not Kirk.

    based on 27 ratings
     | 5,142 views

    Man’s effort to control and secure the forces of life generates greed and idolatry. The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Man’s system simply does not work – if the goal is a good, Godly life of abundance and peace.

    Making Connections, Not Resolutions

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Jan 4, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,991 views

    Instead of making New Year’s resolutions, we need to develop a lifestyle of connections that will enable us to be Jesus’ true disciples.

    Each year around this time of year, 40 to 45% of American adults make one or more New Year’s resolutions. But only a week later, on average, we’ve already abandoned one-quarter of those resolutions and by the middle of the year, less than one-half are maintained. No wonder someone once described ...read more

    Christians need to be of one mind and one love. But too often we're so focused on ourselves that we can't reach that goal. So how do we change our self-centered way of thinking?

Tonight, we are going to be examining the advent of ...read more

    God’s goal with Gideon was transformation, as it was with the entire nation of Israel. But after the victory, choices were made that set the nation right back on the same road to destruction. These are choices we can make as well, or avoid.
