    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,746 views

    Under the sun we feel the heat of stress and pressure. Getting above it changes our vantage point and our perspective of life

    • A lot of what we do in life is directly related to how we see ourselves, and to how we see what we do. • If you see yourself as worth little you will hardly ever engage in something that you feel is of great value – almost as if you don’t see it as your place. • If you place little value in what ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,941 views

    The account of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego reveals some truths about tribulation and demonstrates how to live by internal principle and not by external pressure.

    This morning, we come to one of the most well-known accounts in the entire Bible. But our familiarity with the account of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace is actually one of the biggest obstacles we face in being able to understand what this passage has for us today and how we ...read more

    Joy becomes the fragrance of a heart touched by the gospel, where obedience grows not from pressure but from Christ living within us.

    INTRODUCTION — CHILDREN’S SONG I want to begin tonight with something simple— something every one of us learned before we could spell “theology.” A children’s song. We didn’t realize it at the time, but that little song was preaching to us long before we understood it: “I’ve got the joy, joy, ...read more

    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. 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

     | 12,213 views

    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

    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

    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
