    Highlight the importance of trusting in God rather than relying on our own understanding and strength, and the benefits that come from placing our trust in Him.

    Good morning, family. You know, we all have a way of leaning on our own understanding and trust in ourselves too much, don't we? We depend on our own strength and wisdom to navigate through life, and when we do, we often find ourselves in trouble. We're going to tackle this issue head-on today, ...read more

    Names are of importance in the Bible -- the name of God; the names of people; and the new name given to believers in Jesus.

    1. RC Oliver – When my wife and I attended Freed-Hardeman College (now University), one of our teachers gave a chapel talk about the importance of names. In so doing, he told us HIS story of the difficulties he had growing up eith the name, “RC” Oliver. As a child entering school, ...read more

    In this sermon, the so-called "Kantian wall" is acknowledged as a support rather than a threat to Christianity. There is no human way to know God except through Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit has a very special role to play.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) Among the great events of the 18th Century is, of course, the American Revolution. But ask historians and they will tell you that there is still another 18th Century revolution ...read more

    Peter, and many others, got something down deep inside of them that day and never stopped talking about Pentecost the rest of their lives.

    WHAT IS PENTECOST Text: Acts 2:1 thru 4 There is much to learn from the story of the Day of Pentecost, but I am impressed to speak today about it’s importance.

    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,105 views

    In a culture obsessed with diets it seems that everyone’s obsessed with what goes inside because it effects how we look on the outside. The Pharisees weren’t much different. But Jesus said it’s what’s on the inside that counts!

    What’s Inside? Mark 7:1-8; 14-23 Move 1 – Swallowed Penny Story - I’ll never forget it. I might have been eight years old when one day my parents told us to sit still while they ran into the store to grab something. The same guidelines always applied when we were told to remain in the van: we were ...read more

    Love is an expression, not a feeling. It involves personal sacrifice.

    I. Ideal Love a. There was a Dad who took his kids to do a little shopping. As they drove up, they spotted an eighteen-wheeler parked with a big sign on it that said, "Petting Zoo."

    What is a Christian? What does it mean to be one in today’s post Christian society

    What is a Christian? In a few funeral preparation talks, I have people who have described their lost loved one in these terms He didn’t believe in God He didn’t go to Church But he was a good Christian.
