    This Rich Young Ruler is recorded in three of the gospels. (Matthew 19:16-26, Mark 10:17-27, Luke 18:18-27) In this encounter, a rich, young man chooses money over God.

    The Rich Young Ruler: Seeking Eternal Life ?A ruler came running to Jesus and kneeled to him. He asked Jesus, "Good Master, what must I do to receive eternal life?" In Matthew's account, the ruler phrased the question slightly differently: "Good Master, what good thing must I do ...read more

    Why is it that the divorce rate in the church is not any better than those outside the church? This message looks at the worldly mindsets that destroy a marriage in or out of the church.

    An Associated Press story printed 10 days ago on Valentine’s Day reported a woman who had just celebrated her 50th anniversary. While that is commendable in itself, what made the story unusual was the fact that all 6 of her older siblings had also been married 50 years or more. Collectively, these ...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

    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

    The Church Is Not Like The World!

     | 2,579 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

    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

    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
