    Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 9, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,372 views

    In this account, Jesus’ disciples neither totally believed nor totally disbelieved His power to rescue them. We can’t ride the fence. We must keep our eyes fixed only on Jesus before we can expect to see Him work in our life.

    Os Guinness tells us in his book In Two Minds, “To believe is to be ‘in one mind’ about accepting something as true; to disbelieve is to be ‘in one mind’ about rejecting it. To doubt is to waver between the two, to believe and disbelieve at once and so be ‘in two minds’.”(1) This morning we are ...read more

     | 2,545 views

    Life is made up of many decisions. Some BIG and some SMALL and sometimes very unpopular.

    For example: (1) SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL DECISIONS Consider the many decisions an umpire has to make calling “balls” or “strikes” in a baseball game. He can almost rest assured that by the time the game is over he does not have a friend in the stadium. These fellows have a hard ...read more

     | 5,223 views

    If you omit the last two words of Psalm 66:18, it will read, “if I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not…” There are many applications of this principle.

    If you omit the last two words of Psalm 66:18, it will read, “if I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not…” There are many applications of this principle.

    "Glorify God In Your Body”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022
     | 1,783 views

    After a person becomes a child of God, his purpose in life is forever settled.

    Paul states very clearly how it should be. Look at Phil 1:21. We read, “For to me to live is Christ...” That is so simple, it makes one wonder why some Christians can not comprehend it. There are at least two reasons why they can not. (1) There is some kind of mental problem. For example, ...read more

    Our lives tell a story—a story about who we are and what we value, where we’ve come from and where we’re going, what we want and what we’ll do to get it. And what most of us do is, we make “the story” of our lives about us. But God makes “the story” of our lives about Christ. Someone has said, ...read more

    How To Subdue Your Enemies

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 6, 2022
     | 5,166 views

    Subduing your enemies has nothing to do with your enemies -- it requires us to get victory over ourselves. The 2 keys are to listen to God and follow His ways. If we do those, our enemies will automatically be subdued before us!

He finally wrote a reply to his opponent, filled with sarcasm and invective, sharp and cutting as a razor. 2. ...read more

    Glorify God In Your Body

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022
     | 2,003 views

    We preachers are always telling Christians they are to glorify God.

    Many times we do not make it clear how they are to glorify God in their bodies, because we assume they know some things they do not know.

    Winning The Battle For Your Mind

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 17, 2024
     | 1,662 views

    One of the most important things we need to learn and teach others is how to guard, strengthen, and renew our minds, because the battle for sin always starts in the mind.

    Opening illustration: A violent battle is raging around us twenty-four hours per day. In 1965, Donald Grey Barnhouse wrote a book about it called The Invisible War. It is the battle for your mind, and that battle is vicious. It is intense. It is unrelenting, and it is unfair because Satan never ...read more
