  • Spiritual Efficiency And Effectiveness

    Contributed by David Richardson on Aug 17, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,219 views

    Spiritual activities naturally and supernaturally lend themselves to maintaining one’s personal spirituality, but when we’re confronted by a very common, boring, or repetitive activity…like driving, our spirituality tends to slip down a notch.

    Spiritual Inefficiency John 13:17, Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. Have you ever noticed either yourself or someone else’s inability to remain spiritual when doing certain activities? For example, we can be all spiritual in a prayer meeting, but what about ...read more

     | 7,035 views

    Just as the Apostle Paul had to deal with separations between Jewish and Gentile Christians in his day, we need to deal with separations between white and black churches (and many other ethnicities as well) today.

    (This sermon was preached in 1997 and needs updated examples) There was once a subway car, almost empty, except for a Chinese man and a Jewish man, who sat in their seats, silently, holding their newspapers high as they read. Suddenly the Jewish man stood up, rolled up his newspaper, walked over ...read more

    The World has a focus on I. But as popular as the I culture is today it was not always so. It all begun with "US". It is "US" who created and sustained the world. Togetherness. But there is a war on this concept.

    SCRIPTURE READING Ps. 139:1-24 The scripture says that in the beginning there was God. The bible says quite clearly, in Gen. 1:1 In the beginning God…. From the beginning there was the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit- United and Supreme. Together they composed the entity we call- God. In the ...read more

    Proverbs 6:6-11 “Lessons from the Ants” By: Rev. Ken Sauer, Pastor of Parkview United Methodist Church, Newport news, VA I’ve always kind of liked ants…except at picnics of course.

     | 10,988 views

    It doesn’t matter what we know or how much we know, unless we have an intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ we are nothing and have nothing. Paul shows us how to gain an intimate knowledge of Christ.

    based on 48 ratings
     | 17,383 views

    Jesus told this parable to remind us that what we have is not ours. God has given us gifts and they are what we can handle. We must invest and use them. A day of accountability will come.

    1 Peter 4:10: “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” It is not too difficult to identify the talents we have. • Some are good at music, some good at drawing, cooking, writing… • After a short period of time, ...read more

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 10, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,373 views

    Mary's act of devotion was costly but it was worth the price because costly devotion gets recognized, it gets remembered and it gets rewarded.

    COSTLY DEVOTION John 12:1-11 1) Costly devotion is sacrificial (1-3). Weird word isn’t it-‘nard’. Doesn’t sound very expensive, does it? Sounds too close to lard. “Hey, honey, look what I bought for you; this perfume called Nard! I got you a whole pint of it!” ...read more
