    The importance of not being consumed by worldly desires and self-absorption, but instead focusing on the love of God and doing His will.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters. We're diving deep into the Word today with a passage from 1 John 2:15-17. You know, it's easy in our modern world to get sucked into a self-absorbed lifestyle where our focus is all about us, our wants, our needs, and our desires. But John warns us against this ...read more

    Complacent Faith

    Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Aug 26, 2021
     | 1,706 views

    Complacency is a contagious belief and practice rising among many. The individualistic society seeks to embrace even complacent faith with pride.

    Well, 500 years before Christ, Amos was sent to Israelites to warn their complacency (Amos 4:1-5 / 6:1-6) not to condemn but to point their way forward. They had their law, teachers, and religious leaders, but not God because they were following their own self-absorbed life. Due to the complacent ...read more

    This is the first message in a series from the book of Haggai. Often times we become so self-absorbed that we miss the very needs God has put before us.

    The work began well at first, then stalled, as the people of God became self-absorbed and so concerned about re-building their own homes and lives neglecting the work of God had given then to do.

    Text Verse: Haggai 1:4-5 (Haggai 1:4-5) "Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste? {5} Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways."

    based on 28 ratings
     | 3,190 views

    Hostility comes from the obsessed, self-absorbed heart, and often offers permission for random acts of violence. Jesus got real with His enemies by naming their madness but trusting His own defense to God.

    Stress strengthens. That is a physical fact. It is also a spiritual truth. Stress strengthens us. When we face opposition, we grow. When we deal with differences, we become stronger than we were. Strange as it may seem, and unpleasant though it may feel, give thanks when you ...read more

    Sowing & Reaping Series

    -Sowing to the flesh means being self-absorbed, living according to our sinful/fallen nature. -Sowing to the Spirit means living for God, abiding in our regenerate nature. Which nature wins? The one we feed the most.

    Introduction: A comedian said, “Why am I always getting blamed for things I do?” In this passage, Paul reminds us: choices have consequences. This is a fixed law of human nature. “Sow a thought, reap an act; sow an act, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a ...read more

    “Be the church would ya!” Young people practice faith in the same way their parents practice faith. Studies today call this “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism”. It is a very self-centered spirituality; a self-absorbed Christianity.

    Title: “A Church The World Needs--Not Wants--Pergamum” Introduction: I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN and I can tell you—kids, are smart—they know when you aren’t living up to what you believe and what you say! I worked with inner-city, street-wise kids for several years and ...read more

    Jesus was too concerned about the souls of people to get distracted with minor, unimportant matters. If we aren’t focused on Christ, we can become self-absorbed and inwardly focused like the Pharisees, and we’ll miss the harvest.

    Let’s Not Miss The Harvest! Matthew 9 – Part 2 Introduction: 1. Did you know that religious people can be very mean and cold-hearted? People who are religious, but aren’t truly walking with God can be some of the nastiest people you’ve ever met. 2. In Jesus’ day, ...read more

    People today are so unempathetic that we see people in trouble, we see people in distress, and we are so self-absorbed…so self-centered that all we care about is me, my and mine! but Jesus purchased us with His blood to be our Brother’s Keeper!

    Open your bibles with me to Luke at chapter number 10 commencing in verse 25 through verse 37. Thank you, you may be seated.

    This sermon deals with being selfless as apposed to selfish in our personal lives.

    Selfish or Selfless Back in 2013, the word of the year was “selfie”. It seems with the advent of the smart phone and even some of the latest flip phones, we have fallen in love with taking our own picture. The word selfie makes me think of the character from Greek mythology named ...read more
