Check Your Wallet - James 1:9-11

From the series "Vital Signs." - James 1:9-11 - Wed, August 31, 2011. When you stand before Jesus one day, He won’t ask for bank statements or credit card receipts because money doesn’t last.

A Refresher Course - Joshua 8:30-35

It’s not a question of whether or not trials will come, but how you will handle them when they do. God promises to help, but don’t forget to ask!

The Silent Killer - Joshua 7

From the series "Joshua: Divide & Conquer" - Joshua 7 - Sunday, August 14, 2011. Sin is easy to justify at times. We see things a certain way, want things we don’t have, and allow our thoughts to run too far. When these things begin to happen, sin can easily creep in, and when it does, it always destroys. As long as you hold on to sin, you’ll never have victory in your life. Get rid of it!
