    Climate change is not a new thing. In fact the bible records how society dealt with it in the 9th century B.C. Two leaders had very different ideas about how to solve the crisis. One chose the living God.

    The Mountain of Battle Today we look at two leaders with very different perspectives about God, Religion and Authority. Our study is not unlike the times we live in. Even in our present age we are faced with two powerful leaders who seem to be destined to square off over God, Religion and ...read more

    We live in a society that is obsessed with self-fulfillment and self-centeredness. •And Christians often share that obsession, buying into this “me first” attitude. •Yet when we examine the book of Acts, we see in the Church a community characterized b

    “Sharing All Things” The Church’s Example in Giving Acts 4:32-37 One of the things we learn from children is their natural, inborn tendency toward selfishness. •From a baby’s perspective, “What’s mine is mine, What’s yours is mine, and whatever I want is mine.” •And this natural selfishness ...read more

    #24 in series. Christians in today’s sexually permissive society often face the challenge of how to deal with those accused of a sexual sin. It feels as if we are given the choice of either being too hard on sinners or too soft on sin.

    A Study of the Book of John “That You May Believe” Sermon # 24 “How To Hate Sin and Love Sinners” John 8:1-11 Our story begins early one morning when a crowd had gathered in the temple courts to hear Jesus teach (8:2). “Now ...read more

    The Church Of Tolerance

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 9, 2006

    In our society today, tolerance is considered a virtue. But our definition of it has changed - and accepting and even applauding any and every practice will weaken and pollute our lives. Learn how to safeguard your church and your life from compromise.

    When I read verses 18-29 I picture a church in turmoil - a good church with good people that has been infiltrated with those who would exploit weakness and draw off believers into immorality. The good people stand by and watch - and mourn. The church in Thyatira was small - and sometimes in a small ...read more

    Jesus wants us to choose a simple life. The problem is we live in a consumer society which continuously bombards us with the message, you find life and meaning in the pursuit of things. We justify it by calling it the pursuit of the American dream. The mo

    ODYSSEY: Travel Light With my wife and kids living in Arkansas, I fly monthly to visit them. How many of you in the room are frequent travelers? I've discovered with flying today, less is more.

    Nobody Likes A Wishy Washy God

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 11, 2014
     | 4,510 views

    Our society today acts like it prefers a wimpy, compromising deity, that will agree its sins are ok. But an honest appraisal of what we will respect and honor as God demands that God be exactly who the Bible portrays: the Holy & uncompromising God!

    NOBODY LIKES A WISHY WASHY GOD 1 Sam. 15:29; Ex. 32:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. JOKE. Two convicts were working on a chain gang. "I heard the warden's daughter up and married a guy down on cellblock D," the first con says to the other. "The warden's mighty upset about it too." "Why?" asks the ...read more

    We will look at some at 3 groups of people who have become a outcast and how Jesus reaches out to them, and in doing so, is trying to teach others to reach out to them and others who have become outcast of society.

    Matthew 8:1-17-When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” ...read more

    Individualism

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013
     | 5,166 views

    We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

    Individualism Joshua 7: 2-12a Imagine somebody courteously asking, “How is your family life?” or “How is your prayer life?” or “Is your thought life pure?” or “How wisely do you use your time?” or as John Wesley would ask Methodists in his day, ...read more

    Our society is pressuring our young people to bow to the idol of tolerance. How do we encourage them to set the example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    Read text, pray Jeff just concluded a series about contending the faith and told me that I could preach on whatever I’d like. As I was considering options for what to preach on a Youth Sunday, I found that today’s text seemed to fit right in with this series, so despite Jeff telling us last ...read more

    Many things have gone wrong in our society today as a result of “civilisation, modernisation or Westernisation” or whichever name is given to the moral decadence in this new age. Moral values, decency and respect are things of the past; they have long gone into extinction!

    PROVERBS 19:18 “Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.” (Proverbs 19: 18).

    But there’s more to Christian life. Much more. It’s a series of challenges and privileges that come to us with our existence in human society. We model our love for other human beings on the love God has for us.

    Seventh Sunday of Easter The prophet Isaiah said it several hundred years before Jesus was born: “My thoughts are not your thoughts. Your ways are not my ways.” Our psalm says it in another way: “As far as the east is from the west, so far has [God] put our transgressions from us.” God is not ...read more
