    The training, correcting, and molding of our character by the Lord is one of His greatest blessings in life.

    The Encouragement of Discipline Hebrews 12:4-11 For the past two weeks we have been studying the twelfth chapter of Hebrews and learning how we can run the race of faith. The writer of Hebrews has used the illustration of a runner to teach us that we should cast aside everything that would ...read more

    It is easy to want to give up and drop out of the running. God does not want us to become weary and lose heart. Brethren, We have come too far to turn back now. How are we to run the this race of life?

    KEEP ON RUNNING THE RACE Hebrews 12:1-4 The Bible is full of references to Sports. Warren Wiersbe said that if the Apostle Paul were alive today, he would read the sports page. He often talks about running in a race, the victor’s crown, even about boxing. The writer of Hebrews also used ...read more

    based on 27 ratings
     | 6,716 views

    In Hebrews 11:1-12:4, we learn that all God¡¦s children go through trying times in life. God uses those trying times to make us more like Jesus. This passage uses three different words to describe God¡¦s discipline in his children.

    THE FATHER¡¦S DISCIPLINE Hebrews 12:3-17 Why do persecution, testing, trial, sickness, pain, sorrow, and trouble come into the life of the believer? Are they a sign of God¡¦s anger or displeasure? Do they happen by chance? How should we react to them? Certainly some of our sufferings and ...read more

    The Irreducible Cross

    based on 19 ratings
     | 2,935 views

    As much as our culture, or we, might try, to remove it as a barrier...as much as the world might like to make it into only a symbol, and rob it of its eternal meaning, the cross is irreducible. It’s irreducible in time. It’s irreducible in eternity.

    The Irreducible Cross TCF Good Friday sermon March 25, 2005 I found this quote a few weeks ago in an article on a very popular TV preacher. This guy sells tickets to his national tour, and fills 15-20,000-seat arenas with his positive message. In this quote, he describes his own church, ...read more

It takes different teams of people and has them running from one exotic location to another trying to be the first to arrive at the final destination. It’s kind of a crazy show as most reality TV shows are, but it’s ...read more

    based on 26 ratings
     | 7,648 views

    The way in which we hear others’ criticism is a measure of our own spiritual maturity. Some criticism is intended only to hurt, and reveals the critics’ issues. But we need to hear the truth, and if we see the suffering of Christ, that puts into perspec

    The Bible sees hardship as God¡¦s loving discipline, which, as we submit to it, he uses to produce his character in our lives.

To start us off, I want you to think about what one couple has gone through¡K Introduction: Video interview with a couple who ...read more

    Are you at the end of your rope? Suffering from trials and troubles? Perhaps it is the Lord’s discipline- given out of love for your good. Find hope and help in the first part of Hebrews 12.

    The Apostle Peter to me is one of the great men of the Bible - not because he was so perfect and strong and patient and so much like the Lord - but because he was so imperfect and impetuous and impatient and so much like us! One of my favorite stories about Peter is found in Matthew chapter 14. ...read more
