    The Lavishness Of God - Part I Series

    Contributed by Steve Lombardo on Jun 7, 2008
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,495 views

    We have good reasons to praise the Lord.

    Today we’re starting a four-part series on “The Lavishness of God.” To lavish means to be extravagant; to pour out; to shower. And God throughout the pages of His Word is described as that kind of a God…one who pours out to His people; one who gives. One who displays His grace and His ...read more

    The Witness Of Scriptures Series

    Openness to God precedes the reception of Scripture truth. We are not to guide Scriptures, they are to guide us...to God. We are not to make Scriptures say what we think or want them to say, but let them say what God desires to reveal.

    JOHN 5: 39-47 THE WITNESS OF THE SCRIPTURES [Luke 24: 25-27, 44-49 / Luke 16: 19-31] The previous passage tried to teach us that openness to belief must precede the reception of truth. Now John affirms that openness to God precedes the reception ...read more

    Faith comes to most of us some packaged form. In the lives of many Christians it is never unpacked - it remains in the box.

    I have had this idea for a sermon illustration rattling around in my brain. Today seemed like the perfect day to use it. A few weeks ago now I referenced the beginnings of this illustration. It actually began with new siding and windows on our home. That meant a new deck. The old one was an ...read more

    Jesus Makes Me Happy

    Be content and happy with what you have in Christ. You can be genuinely happy!

    I have a question for you today. Are you really happy? I mean are you actually truly and honestly happy with your life. Maybe I should define the term happiness. Happiness is not the feeling you get when you get something. For instance, how many of you did the after thanksgiving shopping day? You ...read more

    Jacob, Pt. 2

    THE END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS (GENESIS 27:1-46) In Italy, a man went to a priest and confessed. “Forgive me, Father,” he said, sobbing. “During World War II, I hid a refugee in my attic.” “Well,” the priest replied, “That’s not a sin.” “But,” the man admitted, “I made him pay rent.” “That ...read more

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 8, 2007
     | 2,446 views

    Anger is a God-given emotion. And all anger is not sin. But we need to control our anger so as not to destroy us from being the people God want us to be.

    We are following the theme: Hanging in There. Tonight I want us to look at the subject, “Hanging in There Through Anger.” Thomas Jefferson once wrote some rules for living. “When angry count to ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.” Seventy-five years later, Mark Twain, the ...read more

    31st in a series on Ephesians. Paul gives Christians some instruction on how to avoid a faith with no depth.

    Artemus Ward, an early American humorist, once described the South Platte River in northeast Colorado as “a mile wide and an inch deep”. It would be a considerable river, he mused, if it were turned on its side. Unfortunately, Ward’s description of the South Platte River could just as easily be ...read more

A miracle is a extraordinary interposition of Divine intervention by God in the universe by which the ordinary course and operation of nature is overruled, suspended, or modified.
