    This morning we are to talk about the practice of biblical fasting… Not fasting to lose weight or to detox your body – but fasting, going without food for a period of time for a specific spiritual purpose…

    The Practice Of Fasting Matthew 6:16-18 Dismiss Grove KIDZ OKAY – I want to start our time this morning by reading just a few verses that Jesus (God the Son) spoke on a hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee 2000 years ago.

    Sermon 1 in a 4-part series on Stewardship. Believers are those who choose a "heavenly" over a "worldly" perspective. It imapcts their attitude, amplitude, and gratitude.

    It Ain't Me

    This is the most dramatic testimony of Paul’s struggle with sin. I like this text because of the transparency. Paul identifies sin that is always lurking around trying to take a hold of every beleiver.

    TITLE: IT AIN’T ME SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 7:17 As much as I place focus and attention on proper English, I found it fitting this morning to stray somewhat. I could not find a better or stronger word to use than “AIN’T” to help support my thought as we labor in the Word for a ...read more

    Dramatic monologue as if given by Paul. Against trusting in ritual, correct ideas, or emotion, trust the grace of Christ given in personal relationship with Him.

    Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. Oh.. almost didn’t see you there.

    Are we more concerned about appearing Christian than we are with being a Christian. How far will we go to keep a Christian reputation and hide our sin?

    A rather pompous deacon was endeavoring to impress upon a class of boys the importance of living the Christian life. "Why do people call me a Christian?" the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, "Maybe it’s because they don’t know you." I wonder…..could that be said of us? ...read more

     | 6,035 views

    Do we spend all of our time inside the church walls, or do we spend so much time out in the community serving others that we start to smell less like sheep and a little more like sinners?

    Do We Smell Like Sinners? I titled the lesson “Do We Smell Like Sinners?” There’s a book titled “Do They Smell Like Sheep” which was written for church leadership and you can probably figure out the gist of the book from the title. But, I want to challenge each of us ...read more
