    How money and stuff can get a hold and keep us from having a satisfying life in Christ

    How do we find contentment? Well the text talks to us this morning about how great contentment is, it tells us it is of great worth, it is of a great value when it’s paired with godliness. Now I think in order for us to be content we need to look at what makes us discontented. So just in ...read more

    THE WONDER OF WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST (1 John 3:1-3) It is fascinating to watch little children as they discover something new.

    Why Are We Told To Grow Where We Are Planted?

    We are told that believers should be content where they are and abide with God. We are to Bud, Bloom, Blossom and be Blissful wherever we are. It takes time for us to get to where God wants us to be.

    If we are faithful in what God has called us to do, we will be brought up (budding). God has a plan, and He is preparing for us to bloom. God brings us through trials in order for us to blossom. We are to wait for Him while He prepares us to be in the condition that we are to be in. In this ...read more

    An introduction to Luke considering the trustworthiness of the author, the sources of information, the process of writing

    Luke – Can we trust the Map? I don’t know how many of you watch the show Survivor. I know – many of you are thinking – that is garbage. It is all about greed and money. And I’ll grant that it is.

    People see the world from different angles. I’d like to suggest that the Holy Spirit gives us Christ’s perspective. We need to start seeing the world through Christ-colored glasses, which is not the same as rose-colored glasses. Jesus saw compassionately, but he also saw clearly and realistically.

    How many of you own a flashlight? I probably have half a dozen, and most of them have dead batteries in them. I’d be lost without the flashlight app on my smart phone, because it’s always charged. It works. It helps me see where I’m going. It is, to use Jesus’ word, healthy. I think you can all ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (3 Of 16)

     | 1,412 views

    In chapter two we see why many think John was a “softy.” Look at verse 1. We read, “My little children...”

    As we read these words, we can not help but think of an old, gray-haired man expressing concern for his children. This was exactly what John was doing. In a pervious sermon we dealt with the two sides of John’s personality. • That is, he had the intestinal fortitude to be able to look at the ...read more
