    What kind of Christian are you? God’s kindom is either growing or suffering because of your faith or lack thereof. Determine to serve as one who builds and blesses!

    I watched them tear a building down; A band of men in a busy town. With a `HO-HEAVE-HO’ and a lusty yell; They swung a beam and a sidewall fell. I asked the foreman, `Are these men skilled? And the men you’d hire if you had to build?’ He gave a laugh and said, `No indeed! Common labor is all I ...read more

    Allow God to enflame your heart once again with the passion to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ!

    WHEN IT COMES TO RELIGION AND ESPECIALLY MINISTERING IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, IT STILL CAN MAKE US CRINGE, IF NOT BRISTLE INSIDE, WHEN WE HEAR OTHERS USE WORDS AND PHRASES SUCH AS “TOLERANCE,” “INCLUSIVENESS,” “SENSITIVITY,” AND EVEN “RELGIOUS PLURALISM.” THE WORLD IS NO DIFFERENT TODAY THAN ...read more

    An encouraging look at the reality of the coming Resurrection and its nature.

    The Resurrection of the Dead John 20:19-20, 24-29 In our text, we see that Thomas had a difficulty in believing in the resurrection of the dead.

    The Resurrection: Fact or Fiction? April 18, 2004 It takes a great amount of faith to believe in Jesus Christ. Think about it. God comes to earth in the form of man. Lives a sinless life and willingly dies on a cross for you and I. Not only does Christ die on a cross but the Scriptures say three ...read more

    Third Commandment: Christians should never bring shame to the name of God

    What’s in a Name? Introduction How many babies born in America are named “Adolph”? How about “Saddam” or “Osama”? Do you know anybody named “Judas”? A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but some names get pretty stunk up by their owners, don’t they? Of course, the opposite can be true, too. ...read more

    As the bride of Christ we take His name, we bare His name. Are we living our lives in vanity, poorly reflecting His name? Or are we allowing our lives to glorify His name?

    (Exodus 20:7 NASB) "7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain." This is one of the Ten Commandments I have misunderstood more than any other in the 17 years I have known the Lord: Don't take the Lord's name in ...read more

    The Temptation To Be Perfect Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 4,889 views

    To be perfect as God is perfect, paradoxically, requires us to understand our own weaknesses and failures the way God does, and to love ourselves, despite those weaknesses and failures, the way God does.

    It may sound like a contradiction in terms to have a sermon on the temptation to be perfect. After all aren’t temptations about being imperfect. Doesn’t God want us to be perfect just as he’s perfect? But you know, there is such a thing as the temptation to be perfect. All of us are subject to it ...read more
