    Overcoming sin in my life is more a matter of heart work than hard work

    This morning we’ll wrap up our sermon series on the hard sayings of Jesus. Obviously in 8 weeks we haven’t covered all the hard things Jesus said, but I think we have looked at enough of what Jesus said to get a pretty good feel for why much of what He taught was so hard to understand ...read more

    One of the mysteries of the Christian life is that God uses His power to amplify our hard work in the Lord for His grand purposes.

    Let God Do His Thing

    Contributed by J Bernard Taylor on Mar 10, 2020
     | 3,866 views

    The work ethic is the theory that hard work is virtuous and worthy of reward. We need to replace that thinking by letting God do his thing. How would that look in our relationship with God?

    Let God Do His Thing  INTRODUCTION: The work ethic is the theory that hard work is virtuous and worthy of reward. That work ethic has crept into the Christian viewpoint by thinking that we must do God's work before we can merit his approval and acceptance. We need to replace that ...read more

    Marriage is hard work, but God can help us improve our marriages.

    A. I hope you have been encouraged and inspired as we have been addressing the topic of faithfulness this fall. 1. During the first four sermons of the series I tried to drive home the point that God is faithful, and that our faithfulness is to be in response to His faithfulness. 2. I have also ...read more

     | 6,121 views

    Please forgive me for stating the obvious, but persistent prayer is hard work. It drains us. It is hard, but it is eventually worth the effort.

    Prayer Keys - Persistence “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1 Have you seen that cartoon with the pelican having a frog for dinner? His dinner is not agreeing with him. In fact, his dinner is violently ...read more

    Consider Joshua's motivation - pray boldly to see that God's will is done. Consider his commitment - work hard to see that God's work is finished.

    Joshua made an audacious prayer. It was a prayer for the impossible. The fact that he even thought of it surprises everyone. • Today we want to look at his motivation behind that prayer, and his commitment to fulfilling God’s will. The chapter opens with 5 opposing Amorite armies ...read more

    Love Takes Work

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 925 views

    Love is something we have to work at. It doesn't just instantly happen. Love at first sight can often be cured with a second look! We are not meant to FALL in love with anyone. We are meant to GROW in love. Growing in love is like planting a garden, it takes a lot of hard work.

    The Bible is a book of signs and wonders. And when God did miracles through his son Jesus Christ here on earth, what it did was it made cynical people into saints. The doubters, who saw Lazarus come out of a grave, no longer doubted that Jesus Christ had the power over death. They just saw it and ...read more

    What Leaders Are Called To Do

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jan 11, 2014
     | 8,862 views

    Leaders are equippers. It requires hard work. It renders our work to become more effective. It rests on teaching the word of God.

    One of the most thought-­‐provoking articles I’ve read lately is “8 Reasons Most Churches Never Break the 200 Attendance Mark.”1 Now the author Carey Nieuwhof is not saying that it is a sin to be a small church. He just analyzed why it stays small. Nieuwhof clarifies that ...read more

    A Lazy Christian Is An Oxymoron Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 9, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 21,563 views

    Your work matters to God. There is great value in honest, hard work. Laziness is a landmine that can destroy a person and anyone around that person.

    INTRODUCTION An oxymoron is the combination of contradictory words linked together. The plural of oxymoron is oxymora, so here are a few of my favorite oxymora: (1) jumbo shrimp; (2) pretty ugly; (3) working vacation (4) tight slacks; (5) Microsoft works; (6) humble Texan; and the one we’re ...read more
