    Blossoms In The Dessert - The Victory That Only Faith Can Bring Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 5, 2012
     | 7,249 views

    Abraham and Lot. Two believers. One trusted God, and the other trusted in his own achievement, power and wisdom. The question for us as we examine their lives and story is simply this. Who do you trust?

    As we come to Genesis 13, we find a chapter that gives us a powerful contrast between two very different people, Abram and Lot. While we are tempted to think that Lot was not a true believer, 2 Peter 2:7–8 tells us that he was indeed a believer, "And if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly ...read more

    Wisdom can be presented by comparing one person or situation to another. A contrast is presented by the words better & than instead of “but.” There are 19 verses in Proverbs that use the “better . . . than” formula. These comparision statements challenge

    Proverbs 12:9 BETTER . . . THAN PROVERBS People all over the world are constantly looking for a better item, whether buying fruit in a market or choosing a place to live.

    Today’s church struggles with idolatry just like the nation of Israel struggled with it. Repeatedly Israel invited God’s displeasure by their dual allegiance which was and is idolatry.

    Who is Your God? 1 Kings 18:21 “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” - Today’s church struggles with idolatry just like the nation of Israel ...read more

    Do Not Fret

     | 9,633 views

    Do not worry or be jealous of what worldly possessions other people have.

    Text: “Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity” (Psalm 37:1). There are many people in the world who prosper at the expense of other people. They use whatever means necessary to take advantage of people. These people are only looking out for ...read more

    A mature Christian cannot easily be shaken by this world because of their devotion to Jesus.

    Christian Maturity INTRODUCTION Christendom is full of people who call themselves Christians, yet they fail to manifest the presence of Jesus Christ in their lives.

    Holiness For The Child Of God

    Contributed by Richard Cook on Aug 25, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,099 views

    Understanding the need for Holiness is often difficult for ministers to get across to their flocks; this sermon teaches the need to seperate ourselves from the world, and worldliness.

    1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Some will argue that Holiness is not important, but I submit that if it is in the Bible it is important. Holiness in the life of a child of God is not optional but is a command; we can see that from our scripture reading. ...read more

    Setting a purpose for Christian living.

    Christians without goals are a little like Alice in the fairy tale ‘Alice in Wonderland’. In a conversation between her and the Cheshire Cat, Alice asked, ‘Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here’? ‘That depends a good deal on where you want to get to’, said the cat. ‘I don’t ...read more

    Our lives are to become a type of "path" that people can come to Jesus through.

    Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord Luke 3:4-6 INTRODUCTION: Jesus spoke of the “Strait gate” that led to Him and His ways. The word strait: (stenos) implies that there are obstacles that clutter the path. We have the responsibility and privilege to prepare the path to God so that ...read more
