    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,735 views

    The King James Version word "comely" helps us see that praise and worship fit the reality of today’s world, but are attractive to those who need perspective by which to live.

We are a church which is generally committed to contemporary readings of the Bible because they are more accurate and are easier ...read more

    based on 70 ratings
     | 14,810 views

    Pride tends to make one see themselves as the center of one’s own universe; as the one who is in control, when in fact, pride holds us prisoner. God’s dealings with Nebuchadnezzar on the issue of pride totally changed his thinking.

    Nebuchadnezzar: Pride’s Proud Prisoner Text: Dan.4: 8-18; Prov.16: 18 Intro: One need not go far in God’s Word to find the sin of pride rearing its ugly head. Genesis 3: 4-5 recounts for us the fall of Adam and Eve. Their fall was the direct result of pride having taken root in their ...read more

    For years we were brain-washed to believe that if we really wanted to be a champion, we had to eat a certain kind of cereal. It was later revealed that the card board containers that held these cereals, had more vitamins than the cereal itself.

    Many had been misled by those television commercials with their popular endorsements. They had been told that if they would eat these cereals, they would one day be a champion. So many of the commercials today that we see, are deceiving and misleading. For example, they tell us that if we ...read more

Isn’t that also like sin, which lies dormant in our lives until it begins to bear it’s ugly fruit. Chapter ...read more
