Part 1. From the Heart

“I can’t believe I said that. Why did I do that? Where did that come from?” Emotions can get the best of us. If we’re not careful, things like anger, lust, greed, fear, and envy can shape our actions much more than we want them to. Monitoring our behavior is not enough. We need to monitor our heart.

Pastor Andy Stanley began a new series on Sunday, June 2, called, “You’re Not the Boss of Me”. Walk through this series as Pastor Andy teaches concerning our most base heart issue… how to say “no” to the emotions that compete for control. Watch the sermon…

“Strength, Love, and the Fullness of God”

Paul was a man who had a heart to pray for God’s work in the lives of others. Just like him, we should be seeking earnestly the things God has promised for the believers around us.

Mark Driscoll

Mark Driscoll has released a new book called Christians Might Be Crazy. In it, he seeks to answer the 7 top objections to the Christian faith. In union with the release of the book, Pastor Mark has begun a compelling new series at Trinity Church in AZ to cover each of these objections in individual sermons.

The introductory sermon talks about the issue of intolerance.

A Problem with Modern Believers

All too often we’re quick to answer this question “correctly” but live in many ways contrary to it. What I mean is, we have sound theology but faulty practice. Most of the time we feel our heart’s desire is to live according to God’s commands and desires… until we come in conflict with something we don’t like or understand. It’s then that we work within our own authority and not God’s. Matt Chandler takes us through this idea encouraging us to rethink our answer and to know that if something is amiss, it’s on our side of the relationship. When we can see the truth of this in ourselves, we need to learn to repent of it and re-engage God humbly.

“What you believe about God cannot diminish God. Do you hear me? If you want to say, “I don’t believe that about God,” that does not make God any less God. “I just don’t believe God would act like that.” Do you think all of a sudden God goes, “Gosh! Let me shrink a little bit.” What you ultimately believe about God has much for you but does not affect God’s God-ness in any way. That is laughable that you think what you think about God somehow defines God ultimately. God cannot be defined by you. God is God.” -Matt Chandler

SHAM CONVERSION

SERMON NO. 2928
A SERMON DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON,
AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON,
ON DECEMBER 10, 1876.

“And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them. They feared the LORD and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD.”
2 Kings 17:25, 33, 34.

If only we had the mp3. This is the text from Charles Spurgeon’s sermon entitled “Sham Conversion”. In this insightful message, he calls our own conversion to mind causing us to compare ourselves to the Samaritan “converts” in 2Kings 17. What are the fruits of true conversion? What are the elements of a sham conversion? Read on to see what Spurgeon explained…
