    Walk carefully with Christ watching out for false philosophies, trivial traditions and worldly ways and you will win with Christ.

    INTRODUCTION Have you ever known someone whose life had been changed by God and who began living a life of zeal to the Lord that later, maybe because of higher education, was filled with doubt to the point of forsaking their call? Perhaps you have known of someone who became a Christian and was ...read more

    The Church Is Not Like The World!

    Contributed by Glen Lawhun on Apr 3, 2004
    based on 24 ratings
     | 2,570 views

    The church is not like the world. Christians should treat each other different the worldly people treat each other.

    1. Read I Corin. 6:1-11 The Corinthian church was a lot like churches today. They had the church mixed up with the world and lived and acted just like the world. The churches today act a lot like that. People use the same rules and actions in the church as they do in the political world. My ...read more

    This message deals with the general corruption and worldliness of God’s people, and stresses the need for revival in the Church of our day.

    Lord, Let The Fire Fall Text: I Kings 18: 21-24 Intro: Ever since the day man discovered it, fire has been a useful tool. But man soon discovered that fire could be both friend and foe. Not only could it provide light and warmth and be use to cook food, but it could also do great harm. ...read more

    Hazard Ahead: Hypocrisy

    A main excuse for worldly people not to come to church is that the church is full of hypocrites, well there is always room for one more.

    HAZARD AHEAD: HYPOCRISY (All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and All scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) Perhaps one of the biggest reasons given by non-churchgoers is “church is full of hypocrites.” This is true to some extent, but there is always ...read more

    The Message To Pergamum Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,985 views

    Nothing corrupts a church any quicker than worldliness. Pergamum was a corrupted church. It is a picture of a church that is married to the world.

    Would you agree that worldliness corrupts churches? There are 4 things that cause a church to become worldly. 1. The church begins to participate in worldly functions. 2. The church allows worldly activities to take place in the church and even in the homes of its members. 3. The church begins to ...read more

    As with other traces of worldliness that has seeped into the Church, the preoccupation with self has found its way into the Church as well.

    We live in a very proud and egotistical generation. It is now considered acceptable and even normal for people to promote themselves, to praise themselves, and to put themselves first. Pride is considered a virtue by many. Humility, on the other hand, is considered a weakness. Everyone, it ...read more

You know, it's easy in our modern world to get sucked into a self-absorbed lifestyle where our focus is all about us, our wants, our needs, and our desires. But John warns us against this ...read more

    The sermon's main point is to encourage believers to obey God and maintain their faith, regardless of the worldly consequences they may face.

    This morning we’re focusing on a theme that's as old as faith itself, yet as relevant as the morning news: Obeying God despite the consequences. Our guide will be two Scriptures - one from Daniel, the other from Peter. Both passages remind us that the Kingdom of God isn't of this world. Let's begin ...read more

    For vows every Christian ought to make and keep; Preached Dec. 31st 2006, for New Years service.

    Idolaters worship the things God made rather than God Himself. Is there anything you feel you cannot live without? Is there any priority greater than God? Do you have a dream you would sacrifice everything to realize? Does God take first place? Do you wor

    Letter To The Laodicea Congregation Series

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on May 24, 2015
     | 5,922 views

    A congregation that is not actively benefitting and transforming the culture in which it finds itself, it is sickening to Jesus, the Head of the Church. Jesus condemns the Laodicean 'Health & Wealth Gospel' which is promoted by modern-day televangelists.

    Verse 14 – Jesus introduces Himself to the congregation at Laodicea by three titles: (1) “The Amen” which is a reminder that the Lord – by His death on the Cross – is the living confirmation of the New Covenant with its promises. 2 Corinthians 1:19-20, “For ...read more
