Taking Advice - Proverbs 13 - Aug 14, 2005 (Ian Havercroft)

Why is it so hard for us to listen to the advice of others? Is it really that important? Proverbs tells us that the God-follower should take advice in order to avoid strife and gain wisdom. A Christian needs to let their pride go and listen to the collective wisdom that God has given the church family. Be wise; ask for help!

BATTLING THE BASIC INSTINCT- July 24, 2005 (Mike Maleski)

God has demanded that there be "not even a hint" of sexual immorality among His people, yet many Christians find themselves losing the war against it. In this sermon we look at Proverbs 7 to see the strategies we should use, the consequences of not fighting it, and the alternative to defeat - a life that gladly treasures Christ and puts in perspective his love for us..

What You Say Counts- Proverbs10-19-21 - July 17, 2005 (Ian Havercroft)

Why are words so powerful? They can motivate, discourage, soothe, or destroy someone. Proverbs offers some advice on how a Jesus follower should use their words: with restraint, speaking from a heart that reflects God, and in order to nourish others' lives. Jesus can change our hearts and make our words beautiful.

Jude wanted to write a letter about salvation but ended up writing about false teachers. In this three week series we examine the problem in the early church and Jude's solution to that problem. This week we examine
what false teachers look like today and whether we sometimes have some of the same characteristics in our lives? We also see how we can protect ourselves from falling victim to false teachers.

A Cry For Pardon - Luke 23:34 - March 27, 2005 (Dwayne Cline)

Most of us hate those who hurt us. Jesus forgave those who were killing Him. Jesus prayed, not when His wounds had healed but while they were open. Words of forgiveness flowed from His lips when the nails were being driven into His body. He prayed when the pain was fiercest. He prayed when the jolts of anguish were sharpest. When His nerves were most tender, when His pain was unfathomable, He prayed for those causing His grief.

The Day Is Coming- Malachi 4:1-6 - March 20, 2005 (Dwayne Cline)

Useless Fires - Malachi 1:6-14 - Jan 9, 2005 (Dwayne Cline)
