    Alms giving is usually motivated by our emotions.

    Matthew 6:1/2 “Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them; otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have the ...read more

    Do we know who we are? With all of our hang-ups, challenges, gifts, warts and all, “THIS IS US!” Understanding our identity is essential for our health.

    This Is US! Pt. 4 - Extras I. Introduction “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.” That was the declaration of the Ralph Ellison who was the author of the Invisible Man. Do you know who you are? If you do not, then it isn't Jesus' fault because He climbs a mountain, sits down ...read more

    Showboat Religion Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,361 views

    Jesus teaches about the proper way to give, to pray, and to fast. He condemns public displays of religious acts where the intent is to garner praise from people who are watching.

    SHOWBOAT RELIGION MATTHEW 6:1-8, 16-18 A "showboat" is someone who tries to draw all the attention to himself. They want all the glory, all the praise. You see it on the football field and other places where people compete. The touchdown or big play antics are performed to draw attention. Many ...read more

    explanation of the season of Lent

    WHAT IS LENT? Last Wednesday we celebrated Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent. While I was eating my share of pancakes at a Shrove Tuesday dinner, someone asked me just exactly what is Lent, which started me thinking. For those of us raised in the church (particularly the Roman ...read more

    Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven

    Introduction A. A hiker came across another guy lying under a tree, but the shade of the tree was not on the napper’s face. The hiker said to the man under the tree, “why don’t you move so that you’re in the shade?” The man on the ground replied, “if I wait ...read more

    When You Pray Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Oct 30, 2016
     | 4,337 views

    This series is based on the movie, War Room. This lesson is a reminder of God's Expectation of our prayers. It is not, "If" but "When" we pray.

    1. A few weeks ago I attended a conference put on by "Strategic Renewal." While I was there I purchased a T-shirt with the slogan, "Make the Church Great Again." Perhaps one of the ways God will make the church great again is through the prayers of His people. 2. We know that God is anxious to hear ...read more

    Attribute Eight | A Man Integrates Motive Series

    He is aware that his motives are easily swayed by internal and external, positive and negative forces, that attempt to satisfy his desires. Therefore, he must be cognizant of the battle by directing his desire toward God.

    Well as we continue our path to discovering what it means to be a man of God, we are discussing the attributes of a man. And of course – we look at our model man, who is Jesus Christ. And as promised each time, we said we’d look at a – something that he told us to do, and something that he did as ...read more

    The Widow's Mite Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 30, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 30,251 views

    The story of the widow's mite has been used to show Christians what their attitude toward giving should be. This message challenges that traditional and longstanding teaching.

    Growing up I don’t think I heard a teaching about the widow’s mite that did not take the widow and make her the standard by which all of us are to give when it comes to our giving. “This poor widow woman came to the altar and gave her last mite. She did that for the Lord! What an example she is to ...read more

    “Get out of jail, Free” Matthew 6:1-18 Medical science has been telling us now for years that there is a very close relationship between physical illness and stress.

    Never Give Up: Pray!

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 26, 2019
     | 7,746 views

    Come let us reason about prayer. There are UN-HEALTHY prayers and HEALTHY prayers. Let us study about our attitudes while we pray. Real worship is more than a circus. Do we pray with eternities' values in view. Do I have an impressive prayer life? By whose standards? TWO PRAYERS?

    NEVER GIVE UP! PRAY! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Winston Churchill stated: We cannot afford to look back ---we have no right --- to look back, WE MUST LOOK FORWARD… Churchill gets credit for saying: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

    Do not exalt yourself. Do not be prideful. Do not claim to be the best at anything, even if it's true. You are not really 10 ft. tall and bullet proof. Even Superman has weakness. Pride is our Kryptonite.

    Humble Thyself Sermon: Feb. 9, 2019 (4th of 11th month) Luke 18:9-14 Two men in the temple. Matt.25:32-46 The response of the saints is "WHEN did we do these things", rather than "YES, I sure did!" They could have said, yes we did these things in order to give glory to GOD, ...read more
