sermons from this Series

1. Love

Love

Expositional

Philippians 2:3. "Regard one another as more important than yourself." You wouldn't think those eight little words would start a battle in my life, but in reality they do. The problem with this verse is a little phrase, one another.

2. Joy

Joy

Expositional

Every person would rather be joyful than sorrowful. We have this joy seeking, joy hunting nature in all of our lives, don't we? I believe we choose friends, spouses, careers, even churches on the basis of the joy factor. And that leads us to this question. What is it that can make me a consistently joyful person? What is it?

3. Peace

Peace

Expositional

Jesus said these words about peace in John 14:27. "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives," In other words, Jesus is saying that His peace is different than the world's peace. He is giving us a profound peace.

4. Patience

Patience

Expositional

I want to ask you a question. What is it that makes you loose your patience the fastest? Let's face it. Impatience permeates our entire persona. Proverbs 14:29 says "A patient man has great understanding but a quick tempered man displays folly."

5. Self-Control

Self-Control

Expositional

I define self-control or self discipline as climbing before cruising, fighting the uphill battle so you can enjoy the downhill breeze of success. I believe all of us would say, if asked, that we want to become a person who has more discipline, who has more self-control.

6. Kindness and Goodness

Kindness and Goodness

Expositional

The good news today is that we have not been left to ourselves. God is committed. He is totally committed to taking people like you and me, who have hard hearts, and changing those hearts to produce goodness and kindness.

7. Gentleness

Gentleness

Expositional

The Greek word that we get our word gentle from means "strength under control." There are two important guidelines for becoming a gentle person. Join guest speaker, Preston Mitchell as he guides us through gentleness.
