    Builders Or Wreckers? Series

    Contributed by Matthew Street on Oct 13, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,212 views

    Are we like Paul and Barnabas builders in God’s Kingdom or are we more concerned about doing things in the way they have always been done with the result that we like the Jews miss the new things that God is doing and become wreckers rather than builders

    Building something up is so much harder than tearing it down. We only need to think about the last time we had some redevelopment work done on our house to know that this is true. It takes no time to knock out those old windows or that old kitchen but it takes much longer to replace them. Gerald ...read more

    For to worship is to quicken the conscience by the Holiness of God; to feed the mind with the truth of God; to purge the imagination by the beauty of God; to open the heart to the love of God; to devote the will to the purpose of God.

    WORSHIP THAT WINS! Introduction: Many people have the wrong idea of what worship really is. One little boy was listening to his parents discuss the church service. The mother stated she did not like the song services. The dad said that the preacher’s sermon was too long. The little boy ...read more

    Today we will talk about how God has designed each of us in our own unique way. We will discover that sometimes we have to search for purpose before we can live it and we will talk about “Playing in the Sand”.

    ¥ I use everyday life illustrations because I want us to understand that God is trying to communicate with us everyday! There is a message from God in almost everything that we see, touch, taste, smell or feel. God is everywhere just waiting for His creation to cry out for its Creator! Psalms 19:1 ...read more

    As Christians, we’re called to examine everything through the lens of Scripture. Today, let’s take a closer look at the origins of Halloween, what it celebrates, and, most importantly, what God’s Word says about it.

    The Danger of Celebrating Halloween as Christians - Ephesians 5:11 Introduction: As October rolls around, Halloween decorations start popping up everywhere—stores, schools, even some churches. For many, Halloween is seen as harmless fun: costumes, candy, and a chance to escape reality for a while. ...read more

    There is a sobering reality we must confront: many Christians profess faith in God with their lips but deny Him with their lives. This isn’t a problem exclusive to modern times—it has been a spiritual tension since the early church.

    Go! And Remember God Is Real - Titus 1:16 Why Do Christians Often Live As If God Does Not Exist? Titus 1:16 (NLT): "Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good." Introduction: My ...read more
