All Sermons: Practical Life
Maximize life! God knows best how to live it. Here are answers to everything from cremation to financial success, from tattoos to virginity, from swearing to marital sex, from job promotions to charity, and much more. As a Christian, God created you and bought you, so you are twice His. You owe Him everything. He jealously demands your affection and resents any flirting with the world. Most today love pleasure more than holiness, but the Bible teaches holiness that brings lasting pleasures of all kinds, both here and in heaven.
12/15/2024 PMOccupy! and Report Card
Jesus charged His disciples to work hard for His kingdom before He returns from heaven. This is the parable of the pounds, much like the talents, both money and returns. God has invested His grace. What is your return? We quickly review the parable, and then use a simple report card for self-examination.
12/8/2024 PMSins to Hate from N.T. (2)
Most use the Great Commission for initial preaching of the gospel before baptism. But Jesus charged His apostles after baptism to teach those converts all He had commanded them. We find these inspired orders from Jesus for our lives in the apostles' epistles. Let us find them, list them, and obey them.
12/4/2024 PMARS for Youth and Adults Slides
A simple acronym is a tool to remind youth and adults of three important parts of life - authority, relationships, sex. The world and the flesh fights against God and godliness in these areas. The sons of God must be different. Use the acronym to remind you to carefulness in each of the three areas.
11/10/2024 PMSins to Hate from N.T. (1)
Reading the N.T. epistles helps us see what the apostles feared in the early churches. If the apostolic churches had temptations to sin that justified warnings in their inspired writings, then we should pay those sins special attention, for our risk must be greater due to the greater power they had.
10/27/2024 PMGreat Church Members Slides
A local church will only be as great as its members, for a church is but a group of believers committed together. Most Christians merely attend services. In addition to what makes a great church (preached previously), learn the duties of great church members to excel at them.
10/6/2024 AMPrayer of Colossians 1:9-17 Slides
Paul's inspired prayer is nine verses in one sentence, which is easily divided into three sections - petitions, thanksgiving, glory of Jesus Christ. This prayer is much higher than most Christians pray, and it is a good measure of your spiritual health. Learn to pray better and think higher by this sermon.
10/2/2024 PMThe Sin of Listening Slides
Your ears can lead you into sin like your eyes (lust) or mouth (evil speaking). Never before has there been a constant supply of audio inputs to corrupt Christians by what they hear. You are responsible before God to guard your ears, reject anything not true, and correct those speaking errors.

9/4/2024 AMGreatness… By a Great Cause Slides
A Great Cause. How could a young man run to meet a giant and win? By a desire to defend his God and stand for truth against those close to him no matter the cost. The story of David and Goliath gives us a great example of how someone can be exceptional when they are motivated by a great cause. Jesus Christ is the greatest cause and deserves our greatest efforts.
9/1/2024 PMHow to Defeat Worry
David had many afflictions, but God saved him from them all. While hiding from Saul among the Philistines early in his life, he was sorely tried by terrible circumstances. Even his friends wanted to stone him. But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. Learn how to overcome fear and worry.
9/1/2024 AMBeware: Perilous Times
What is the greatest danger for Christians and churches? Is this the most important prophecy for them? Paul warned of a time when Christians and churches would be carnal, compromising, effeminate, and worldly. Do you know this warning? Do you see the danger? The Bible is your safety.
8/25/2024 AMRemembered for Good
Nehemiah greatly desired Jerusalem and the temple to be rebuilt after the Jews returned from Babylon. In chapter 13, he fixed five problems of these wayward people. As he turned them from their sins back to God, he prayed, Remember me, O my God, for good. Will God remember you for serving Him?
8/19/2024 AMVoting Wisely – Outline
With America's election of a president in 2008 as the example, here are various ways to consider a political situation wisely and to vote prudently. Since Christians are bound to godly character and conduct themselves, they think they must vote the same way, but that will backfire in a two-party system.

3/3/2024 PMGlory Only in the Cross
Galatians 6:14 is a precious and special verse summarizing our faith. Very different than Jewish legalists Paul opposed, his glory was only in Jesus Christ's death. There are three crucifixions in the verse, and all three are important. If you are not crucified to the world, Jesus' death must not mean much.
2/28/2024 PMJosiah The King Slides
An overview of the life of Josiah for traits to motivate men to greatness. This king started young to get the attention of young men, and God declared him the greatest revivalist of any king recorded in the Bible.
2/18/2024 PMChoices Two (2)
God's choices are all perfect for your good - if you respond properly. He deserves your greatest praise, thanksgiving, and trust. He managed the choices of others pertaining to you. Thank others for good choices; forgive them their poor choices. Your choices will bring reward or punishment. Learn wisdom.
2/18/2024 AMDogmatic Simplicity (2)
Absolute truth exists, no matter denials. God wrote absolute truth in the Bible. We do not fear being wrong - we pray for further light to gladly acccept redirection. We hate error; we name names. We keep truth simple like the Bible does. Intelligence and education are handicaps to truth, not helpers to it.
2/11/2024 PMChoices Two (1)
What you are today is the result of infinite choices made by God, others, and you. Can you trust the God of choices and learn to make choices that please Him? He uses our choices in many ways, and you can rejoice in what He done with others' choices and your own choices. Trust Him. Praise Him.
2/11/2024 AMDogmatic Simplicity (1)
Dogma = Doctrine, and Dogmatic = intense conviction about truth that will not tolerate differences. Though man chose lies in Eden, God revealed truth in the Bible. He expects us to hold it loyally and never compromise with anyone for any variation. Absolute truth is real and to be vigorously defended.
1/22/2024 AMShould Christians Tithe?
Is tithing a Christian duty? Indeed it is, and more so; current dissenting opinions about tithing lack biblical foundation. Although the New Testament does not explicitly mandate tithing, it does enjoin believers to give. Furthermore, like other practices, the details can be found within the Old Testament.
1/21/2024 AMQualifications to Understand the Bible
In order to rightly understand the Bible, we must first meet certain spiritual conditions that ensure we receive God's blessing and favor. The Bible is a spiritual book and must be spiritually understood; do not attempt to apply Bible rules of interpretation without first meeting these spiritual qualifications.

12/17/2023 PMMarital Compromise: Good and Bad (4)
God commands wives to submit to their husbands in every thing, which requires very much compromise - sacrifice and surrender of her will to the will of her husband. And God commands husbands to live with their wives by knowledge, which requires honor for her weakness and equal spiritual status.

12/10/2023 AMMarital Compromise: Good and Bad (1)
Though not a Bible word, compromise is shown and taught there. God compromises with us by His longsuffering, mercy, etc. He teaches it by precept and example. We all compromise daily for society to function, but we want to get much better at it, especially in marriage for ultimate peace and pleasure.
11/19/2023 PMAngelic Ladders for Thanksgiving Slides
Jacob's dream explained and applied for the comfort of God's children. Angels are greatly misunderstood by many, but their many roles are great in God's government of the universe. For Thanksgiving week in America, you should consider the ladder you have had and the help and strength God has sent.

9/17/2023 AMSermon on the Mount Lessons (11)
Matthew 7:6 is a lesson from most ignore, for they reject Jesus' criticism of fools and scorners, which He called dogs and pigs. Such men do not deserve truth, and Jesus taught us to protect the truth from them and to protect ourselves from their violent tendencies against anyone correcting them.
8/13/2023 AMSermon on the Mount Lessons (8)
Memorize the five parts of prayer. Forgive everyone; flush all offences. Fast modestly - not like Catholics, who make a public show during Lent to defy Jesus. Make investments in heaven, not on earth. Do everything as to the Lord. Set your heart on Him. You will never be disappointed. You will be thrilled.
8/6/2023 AMSermon on the Mount Lessons (6)
God loved Israel by speaking to them by the prophets, but He has spoken to us by His Son. The Sermon on the Mount is written proof. Modest giving and praying is crucial to please God by the rules of Jesus. Lessons include rules for rewards, God seeing all good deeds, and Jesus' extreme wording.
7/30/2023 PMSermon on the Mount Lessons (5)
Are you careful with your speech to avoid foolish or filthy expletives or euphemisms? Listen and learn how corrupt and depraved speech can be. Hate revenge. Let small offences slide. God will take care of you. Love enemies to be perfect like God and to prove your adoption as a son of God.
7/30/2023 AMSermon on the Mount Lessons (4)
Being a light in the world includes kindness to adorn and beautify duty and godliness. After our relationships, Jesus warned about fantasies and sexual temptations; then He taught to limit swearing, which the Jews abused often. His lessons keep coming to lead us to abundant living and eternal life.
7/26/2023 PMDavid’s Mighty Men Slides
The divine library (Bible) has it all, even unmatched special forces that fought for David. These elite men and their ranks are recorded. Even Philistines loved David. God called men to be soldiers against several enemies, and the Bible details are encouraging for boys and men to consider.
7/23/2023 PMSermon on the Mount Lessons (3)
The width and depth of this Sermon has no peer. God gave our Lord great wisdom to declare God's will for us (5:14-28). A few verses at a time, Jesus taught lessons of righteousness we should crave to learn and apply each day. This is the straight gate and narrow way that leads to life for only a few.
7/23/2023 AMSermon on the Mount Lessons (2)
Here is a review of the Sermon in general, a review of the first seven beatitudes, and then the application of the other beatitudes and the Lord's lessons through 5:13.

7/16/2023 AMSermon on the Mount Lessons (1)
God sent His Son to earth, and He preached the greatest sermon recorded in the Bible. This is a very simple application of Jesus doctrine that we should follow for proof of eternal life and to please God now. There are 21 lessons in our Lord's Sermon, but many mini-lessons within the large one.
7/9/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (23)

7/9/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (22)
How can we lose VCL? Allow funks or moods to destroy fruitbearing. Allow bitterness that gives Satan leverage in your life. Talk folly to yourself instead of talking faith. Allow anxiety, which is opposite of faith, peace, and joy. Accept religious routine and lose passionate first love of being hot for Christ.
6/25/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (21)
God has not only told us what to do but also how to do it - He wants cheerful givers and happy, joyful Christians. Kings required it of servants; we should be constantly thrilled to serve Him. You cannot neglect nutrition - Bible reading, prayer, preaching, and godly music and friends to grow and bear fruit.
6/25/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (20)
VCL is by faith, not feelings, so emotions are ruled to follow faith, not lead or control your life. Entertainment today of television, movies, Internet, social media, magazines, etc., must be carefully limited. At all times Jesus Christ must be constantly the main goal, for character without Him is nothing.
6/18/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (19)
VCL is to be accepted by God now and to hear, Well done, thou good and faithful servant, when we meet him. You can lose VCL by distracting ambitions, indulging in spiritual vacations, aim at nothing, poorly manage time, procrastinate conviction, and lose your first love of God and Jesus Christ.
6/11/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (18)
We reviewed eight ways VCL can be lost - these were covered in sermons #13-#16. Your life ambition(s) are crucial to success or not - for ambition in other areas, no matter how noble, distract from the war. Paul even warned about marriage, which should cause fear of other distractions.
6/11/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (17)
Review is necessary after a break of several weeks. Hearing truth is not enough, but hearing, retaining, and obeying. God has promised great blessings to overcomers. The key is daily focus and intentional living to obey and glorify God in everything you do, rather than let life happen and control you.
5/28/2023 PMTwelve Facts for Christians (6)
The world explodes with information, but they are no closer to truth. Beware of the distraction of inputs by electronics in your life. Do not tempt God by questioning Him, provoking Him by presumptuous sins, or taking foolish risks. Prayer changes things and should be a main part of your life.
5/28/2023 AMTwelve Facts for Christians (5)
Because God created you and saved you by a great price, you are not your own - you are His in every part of your life. He demands all your love and then for you to love others He puts in your life. You should never surmise about what God is doing in another's life, for you do not know His infinite will or them.
5/21/2023 PMTwelve Facts for Christians (4)
Safety in life brings everything back to the Bible - all thoughts, ideas, choices, plans, events, etc. It should be taught daily to children. Your ideas can never be better. Period. Success in life before God and men is by fruit, not results, feelings, or words. Fruit is identified in the Bible. Abound in it.
5/21/2023 AMTwelve Facts for Christians (3)
The sin Adam chose in Eden and we choose daily pervades all parts of life, and it should be identified to avoid misjudging things, persons, relationships. God is greater than man and can do what He wants with your life, like He did Job. We should never blame, complain, or even question Him. He is God.
5/14/2023 PMTwelve Facts for Christians (2)
With the golden parachute of guaranteed eternal life, we can manage and profit by the trials and tribulations of uncertain life in this world. Not only has God saved us for eternity, His choices rule our lives here and now with incredible blessings, if we take the time to consider His loving providence.
5/3/2023 PMRighteous Relationships Slides
The second command is to love others. The Bible teaches how all life relationships are to be treated. Here is a chart of the many relationships with God's rules for each. Growing in favor with God and men, the highest goal of life, requires learning and doing the duties of each relationship.
4/19/2023 PMAbove and Beyond Slides
Great lovers of God did more than bare duty worshiping and serving Him. Why would you stop at what is expected or minimum? He did far more than reasonable to adopt us. Let us look for extra ways we can delight in Him and glorify Him like David did planning and paying for Solomon's temple.
4/16/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (16)
Music is the powerful language of the soul. David played the harp to heal Saul's devil-afflicted soul. You do not have the right to any music. You must glorify God and use music that will lift your spirit toward heaven. Measure all music by its fruit in producers, performers, listeners, and churches using it.
4/16/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (15)
Recall seven reasons why God left us here. Average Christian is not VCL; most churches are not. How can you lose VCL? You can choose carnal, foolish, worldly friends. Or you can become too dependent on any relationship, so that you will compromise knowingly or not to keep the relationship.
3/26/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (14)
You lose VCL by choking on circumstances. God arranged each part of your life. Accept it and live above it, not under it. Guard use of alcohol, lest it hurts your efforts and reputation for Christ. Do not let past failures defeat you. The best of men fall, but they rise up to engage again. Triumph today!
3/26/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (13)
Why did God give the ministry? To help you live victoriously. What is VCL? It is God's best for your life. How can you lose it? Choose to be a loner and lose the necessary benefit of your local church. Or you can rest on your laurels, when you should be running the rest of your race even better and faster.
3/19/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (12)
Keep going. Let nothing stop or slow you. Perseverance is faithfulness. Reject every weight that might slow you down, even if it is not sin. Moderation balances all aspects of life to maximize fruitfulness. Get zealous, for intensity helps. Habits can help by daily duty. If you fall, repent and get back up.
3/19/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (11)
VCL requires strategic effort to pray like Hezekiah and Nehemiah - Remember me. It is an earthly engagement, so reject monastic desire for heaven. It is not legal righteousness; it is your personal righteousness by obedience to secure God's approval. Evil will come, but rise above it.
3/12/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (10)
VCL is more than bare faith - it is delight in God with great fervency and zeal. The world pursues its goals, like sports, with great zeal, and we should have similar zeal for Him and His kingdom. Life is often too busy and chaotic for intentional VCL, so you must slow down and simplify your life to succeed.
3/12/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (9)
Paul knew he had fought, finished, and kept the faith. So were Job, David, Timothy and several women. Paul taught regeneration provided the power for you to do so. VCL is not ordinary - it is exceptional. It is living with the kingdom as your priority and it is measured by the heart and souls helped.
2/26/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (7)
To be an overcomer, you should look to the reward like Jesus did. You must guard your inputs vigilantly, you should be the most thankful person, you should pray for it, and you should look to the effect. Remember that your defeated Christian life or a joyful, winning one will affect all those around you.
2/19/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (6)
To be victorious you must believe that God forgives easily, quickly, and fully. Any ideas to the contrary are sinfully wrong and will defeat and discourage you. Look to Jesus as your example going before, see difficulties as opportunities like Job and Paul did, and get competitive to be the best in God's sight.
2/19/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (5)
A victorious Christian life is confident living, kingdom building, and intentional living. It is necessary to view each night and day, in that order, with the clear goal to obey Christ fully. Your greatest enemy is yourself, and you must force all feelings to follow faith, no matter how powerful they may seem to be.
2/12/2023 PMVictorious Christian Living (4)
A victorious Christian is a growing one with fruit rather than funks. One of our greatest enemies is bad thinking. Your thoughts are not helpful to serve God better. Too many of them are foolish and sinful. You must hate any funks and not try to excuse them by ruling your thoughts to choose godliness.
2/12/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (3)
Key facts to remember for victorious living are why God left us here with a sinful flesh in a sinful world. There are seven broad reasons He did so, and they are quite helpful to live intentional lives for God's glory and His approval and rewards. His reasons are also our goals for living right.
2/5/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (2)
Further identifying marks of a victorious Christian, who grows in grace, knowledge, service, and zeal in Christ's kingdom. They do not allow the sissy fits or funks of many today that are destroyed for hours or days at a time. They quickly repent and resume their duties with God's healing power.
1/29/2023 AMVictorious Christian Living (1)

Sons of God on earth are to obey, pay, pray, and honor civil rulers.
