    The title of this sermon may not make a bit of sense…but it is my sincere prayer before I complete this sermon it will make sense and you will understand the seriousness of SPIRITUAL AMNESIA THAT LEADS TO APOSTASY.

    We have discovered from Peter that to become like Christ, there are some things we need to add to our faith

    We have seen that we need to add to our faith : • VIRTUE - We need virtue because virtue is what sets the boundaries of what WE DO and DO NOT DO! • KNOWLEDGE - We need knowledge of WHO HE IS and WHAT HE IS LIKE if we are going to become like Him.

    Sometimes this is the motivation for some to: (1) DIET EACH DAY Illus: Much has been said about diets, such as: • It's something most of us do religiously: We eat what we want to eat, drink a diet coke and pray we don't gain weight • Someone else said that the problem with curbing our ...read more

    In our text, Paul explains some of the things that motivated him.

    If we are going to be the SPIRITUAL INDIVIDUALS God wants us to be, we are going to have to have the same motives he had. WHAT IS A MOTIVE?

    One of the best ways you can determine that a person is a SPIRITUAL PERSON is by the way they spend their TIME and MONEY.

    We are fooling ourselves when we think we are SPIRITUAL yet our TIME and MONEY reveals we are like the carnal people of this world who only care about cars, boats, campers, houses and clothes. The way we spend our time tells a great deal about us. Because time is important to us, most of us ...read more

     | 1,222 views

    This Morning, we take a special look at Jesus Healing the Paralytic , and how the story reveals to us what is MOST IMPORTANT, the Forgiveness of Sins.

    We have two types of paralytics in our lesson this morning, physical and Spiritual. Unfortunately, we will see how the spiritual paralytics actually want to remain how they are, rather than see the Great physician. The healing we read occurs in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and what is really ...read more

  • Spiritual Milk Or A Thanksgiving Feast Series

    On Thanksgiving day which do you prefer? Milk or a Thanksgiving feast? The writer of Hebrews has a candid conversation with those who were spiritually missing out on the best instead of Spiritual meat- they were on Spiritual milk. How do we do the opposite?

    When we think of Thanksgiving we often think of food. While we all know that Turkey is the top food for the Thanksgiving meal in America; the favorite side dishes vary. Yet, this week I did a little study to see which side dishes are America’s favorite. Are you ready for this? 1. Stuffing; of ...read more

  • Spiritual Leadership: The Jethro Principle Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 12, 2022
     | 5,903 views

    Jethro gave Moses such helpful advice that not only did Moses apply this, he wrote it in Scripture. He must have been aware that this was a leadership principle that would help spiritual leaders in every generation that follows him. There would come different circumstances but timeless principles.

    I had just finished the book summary, The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber. Right away I could see the application of this book. Not for me, I saw that my son-in-law was working long hours and here in this book were principles for the entrepreneur that could help him rise up new employees that he ...read more

  • Spiritual Fullness In Jesus Christ

    I’m very passionate about theology, doctrine, and the truth of God’s word. I’m passionate about personal holiness. I’m also passionate about Christian apologetics, as a way to evangelize the lost.

    I’m going to share my testimony, briefly of how I got saved and how I got called to ministry. I was raised as a catholic and as a green bay packer fan. I took to the second much more than the first. I was a very good kid until about 10th grade. My parents started having problems, and they began a ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Dec 31, 2018
     | 4,309 views

    God gives second chances to people because of His love but those opportunities end when a person completely refuses God!

    We noted a while back how God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt; then God did a “spiritual reboot” in Exodus 13 by telling them of God’s unchanging love and how to respond to that love! After that “spiritual reboot” in Exodus 13, what have we observed about how the Israelites lived for ...read more
