    Sometimes He has to break our worldly vessels and make us over again

    As the Light of the World Jesus takes us out of darkness and worldliness. Darkness and worldliness does not come because we are the worst we can be; it comes because we are following the distraction of Satan who masquerades as an angel of light.

    Message John 8:12 I Am The Light of the World When Jesus describes Himself as The Light we can quickly understand the significance of the metaphor. Light gives direction. Light pierces the darkness. Light takes away fear, uncertainty, and hesitancy. Light reveals truth. We get the metaphor. Those ...read more

    My God Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,512 views

    For many people, God is far away and is to be approached only at times of need or danger. However, that is far from the truth. God wants each of us to have a very personal relationship with Him. Here's a study on how we can call God as "My God". Be blessed abundantly.

    We read in Psalm 91:1-2, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."” (ESV) The Psalmist had a personal relationship with God, and therefore could say of Him, ‘My ...read more

    When we pursue the future without striving to do God’s will, we practice arrogance. This sermon discusses three areas of selfish pursuit.

    About Tomorrow, James 4:13-17 Paul Redwine, Northside Christian Church, Sunday, August 24, 2003 Introduction We often put too much emphasis on the future, thinking that our plans are the best for us, without even considering the Lord’s will.

    Living a victorious Christian life is a challenge we should readily accept; however there is much to discourage us in this pursuit.

    Christ is our shepherd, because we are prone as sheep to wander about in pursuit of pleasure, and be devoured by our passions.

    Tuesday of 4th Week of Easter May 5, 2009 “If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” So Jesus talks about sheep. As the Jews of His day–and ours, for that matter–saw it, Jesus never talked plainly. But that wasn’t Jesus’ problem with the Jews, or us, for that matter. Our problem is that Jesus ...read more
