Restoring Resources Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 10, 2007

God created material things for us to use to glorify Him. The problem is, we have placed His stuff in the wrong account. We have taken God’s stuff out of His glory account and transferred it to our materialism account. And when it’s in our account, it’

1. The first account transfer is from one house to another. 2. The second account transfer is from one hand to another. 3. The third account transfer is from one land to another.

Contributed by Byron Harvey on Nov 23, 2007

I preach expository messages, and this is the tenth in my series on the Book of Acts.

“A Deadly Conspiracy” Acts 5:1-11 July 8, 2007 Note the honesty of the Bible, and of Luke as a historian.

Marriage: Forgiving And Forbearing Series

Contributed by John Piper on Mar 29, 2007

The purpose of human marriage is temporary. But it points to something eternal, namely, Christ and the church. And when this age is over, it will vanish into the superior reality to which it points.

You recall perhaps that my wife, Noël, said, “You cannot say too often that marriage is a model of Christ and the church” (see Ephesians 5:31-32). I said that I think she is right for three reasons. I’ll mention two. The first was that saying this lifts marriage out of the sitcom sewer and elevates ...read more

The Object Of My Affection Series

Contributed by Dan Jackson on Jul 9, 2005

We substitute many things for the worship of the one true God. Idols never satisfy, but we still craft with our hands things that we hope will satisfy the longing of our hearts.
