    Third in a series taken from Ephesians 1, this series delves into the riches that we know through our relationship with Christ.

    After last week, and my referencing America’s song “Tin Man”, and after hearing several folks tell me that they couldn’t get it out of their heads during the sermon, I hesitate to do the same again, but here goes.

    "What time is it for God’s people at this point in history?" That is the question the church must answer.

    WHAT TIME IS IT? Romans 13:11-14 INTRO: Many inventions have been contrived to provide the answer to this question. The sundial provided an answer only during the day. The hourglass could measure the hour—day or night—but not the minute. Finally, the clock provided the best answer, day or ...read more

    It is not the time for complaining, or criticizing, or becoming weary or depressed. It is time to Pray.

    It is such a tragedy that the greatest power there is on earth is so often overlooked. We suffer so much at the hands of the enemy that could so easily be avoided if we just took time to pray. It is not that the enemy is so strong, that many of Gods people are discouraged and defeated, but because ...read more

    Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Nov 17, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 14,213 views

    This sermon demonstrates how god still accepted us even though "Once Upon A Time" we use to be whoremongers, theives, liers, homosexuals, drunks, etc. He still gave us a chance to repent of our sins and to come back to Him.

    Introduction: Looking at the sermonic theme of ‘Once Upon A Time,” I know you are probably thinking on the lines of the Grimmes Fairy Tales. One that comes to mind is the fairy tale called “The Three Bears.” Once upon a time there were the three bears. There was the father bear, the mother ...read more
