Contributed by Tom Shepard on Oct 22, 2009

This sermon looks at two aspects of spiritual growth. God’s part - Your part.

The Joy of Becoming Like Christ Folks here is a fact: God is in the life change business. He takes a life that is bent and straightens it out.

Christian Love

Contributed by Dwight L. Moody on Oct 26, 2009

A classic sermon by D. L. Moody on the importance, power, and indispensibility of Christian love.

It speaks in Galatians about love, the fruit of the Spirit being love, joy, peace, gentleness, long suffering, meekness and temperance. The way this writer has put it -- and I think it is very beautiful -- is that joy is love exultant, peace is love in repose, and long suffering is love enduring. ...read more

Earthen Vessel, Feet Of Clay

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 29, 2009

Ordination of Troy L. Dixon, Nov. 1989: We pursue the trappings of religion instead of what is truly value. As a common clay vessel, be wary of power games, know that your foundation can crumble, focus on the treasure of the Gospel.

Somehow in men’s minds the paraphernalia of religion get to be more important than the faith itself. It is one of the enduring problems of religious life, how it is that we get far more caught up and invested in the trappings of religion than in the faith itself. In your average church, you ...read more

Leaky Disciples

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 17, 2008
