    Solomon’s downfall occurred when he was older because he gave into the temptation of the elderly: focusing upon himself rather than the Kingdom’s future generations.

    Solomon: Not the Man He Used to Be (I Kings 11) 1. People are better off when they care about other people: Mamie Adams [an elderly widow] always went to a branch post office in her town because the postal employees there were friendly.

    OPEN: Before he died, comedian John Ritter starred in a fairly successful TV sitcom. Does anybody remember the name of that show? (8 Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter). Now, I never watched that show, so I don’t know if they ever shared what those “8 simple rules” actually were. However, years ...read more

    A sinful high place is any area, thought, person, or relationship that I allow to remain in my life as a provision for the flesh, to satisfy the sinful desires of my heart.

    The message examines God’s judgment on Solomon.

    During the forty years Solomon reigned over the nation of Israel we see Solomon sowing a lot of seeds of self-indulgence in hopes of reaping a harvest to satisfy those longings in his life.

    The message chronicles Solomon’s heart slowly turning away from the Lord.

    As we saw in last week’s message compromise is the first sign that character erosion is taking place. Solomon’s story is quite tragic as it shows the dangers of compromise and disobedience. When you take one step in the wrong direction—a direction that you know is unwise—it can lead to ungodly ...read more

     | 4,548 views

    Be watchful. Guard your faith. Guard your marriage. Guard yourself.

    The theme of this passage is rather clear because of one word repeated a few times - faithless (ESV), broken faith (NIV), treachery (KJV), being unfaithful. • The people has been unfaithful to God and to one another. They had betrayed God and broken the trust with Him. • Their disregard for God ...read more

    Refuse To Fade Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just ...read more

    A person may be walking in the Light of Christ and then take their eyes off from Him. This always leads to the disaster of walking in the darkness if it goes unchecked and unrepented for too long. Don't take the first step in the wrong direction ...

    3 Simple Rules For Making A Marriage Work Series

     | 1,567 views

    In the next few moments, I want to help you celebrate marriage, whether married, divorced, or single. God gave us marriage for our happiness. God gave us marriage to be a blessing in our lives. Your marriage can serve as a catalyst for your relationship with God.

    When I say the word “marriage,” what do you think? Are you a little jaundice about the idea of marriage? I spoke to a lady recently who said when I got married I was looking for the ideal, instead, the marriage became an ordeal, so now I want a new deal. One day, a man went to the Super Bowl, ...read more

    This the second sermon in a series based on The Book of Proverbs. Based on the TV game show "Let's Make a Deal," in which contestants struggle with the desire of their hearts -- to win "big" prizes or money, the choices we reveal the desires of our heart.

    I’m going to assume that you all are familiar with a popular little game show called “Let’s Make a Deal.” It’s been on for, like, ever it seems. The “contestants” are offered various “mystery prizes” to choose from. Some of the prizes are really amazing and some of the prizes … well, they’re ...read more
