Have you ever experienced, or witnessed somebody else experience, something that you immediately stopped and said, "This is totally and truly unfair. This is pure injustice. This is a blatant lie". What compounds the problem is that [...]

Perhaps I have not seen this level of discouragement among God's people, and I know there's a lot to be discouraged about. Continuous discouragement can sap your energy. Continuous discouragement causes loss of hope. Continuous [...]

I'm going to ask you to turn with me to the third chapter of the book of Genesis. And at the end of that chapter it says this: "And the Lord God said, behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put [...]

Ephesians 2:8-9 says this: "For by grace you have been saved through faith". And even the faith that saves us, Paul tells us, is not the result of our own works. It's the gift of God. Sometimes people get a funny idea that faith is a [...]

The world gets very concerned about gifts. We get concerned about gifts, but God is more concerned about fruit. Gifts are given. They don't require much effort on our part. Fruit, however, is developed. It comes as a seed when we receive Christ [...]

Love really is "The fruit" of the spirit, and you're not really going to have any of these if you don't have this. Now, yes, there might be some that would be a little more naturally patient person. My husband is a more naturally [...]

The reason why I had this made was because I want to make a point. The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, which is humility, and self-control. Something that I began to realize a long [...]

I want to talk to you today about Seeing From a Distance. We all have promises in our heart and dreams we're believing for, but sometimes they seem so far off and so unlikely. We don't see how we could get well, or how we'll meet the [...]

One of the most familiar verses in all the Bible is found in First John, the little epistle toward the back of the Bible. And one of the reasons it is so familiar is because it is something we have to deal with every day. It goes like this: If we [...]

When is the last time you stopped and just meditated about your life and just thanked God for saving you? Or have you taken that for granted all these years? And let me ask you a question. Were you saved because you first approached God and told Him [...]

This is an excerpt from: Not Dead Yet The Enemy will weasel his way into your marriage. He'll weasel his way into your business, get you to start cutting corners and stuff like that. I know he works. I'm a weasel expert. The weasel will [...]

Is there such a thing as a worst sin? People often say, "Sin is sin". Not really. Someone who steals a stapler from the church office is committing a sin, but it's not as bad as someone who commits murder. So, there are degrees of [...]

Everyone is investing all of the time in something. People wanna use the word "Investment" and isolate it simply to a financial exchange, and it has an application there, but everything in your life is some measure of an investment. [...]

I don't know if anybody's been to the Symphony recently, but when you go to the Symphony, you go to the Atlanta Symphony, and we've got an Atlanta Symphony member at Passion City Church up at Cumberland. Might be in the gathering [...]

A lot of the prayer that God wants to release in our lives is not for us, it's for the person right next to us, the people who live in the house across the street from us, the family that we met through some friends, the guy that is working [...]

This is the most interesting time to be alive because all of us are moving quickly to this moment and this place where everything happens on our terms. "I'm good, I'm fine, I'm great just the way I am, and I wanna do everything [...]

Kerry Shook: Well, Chris and I are kicking off a new series this weekend we're calling "Relationship Games," and we're going to use some classic board games and have a little bit of fun to illustrate some powerful and [...]

Kerry Shook: I heard about a burglar who had been casing out a neighborhood in the summer, and he noticed a house where a family had left for vacation. So, late at night he broke into the front door, he walked into a completely dark entryway, and [...]

We just started a new series that I'm calling "Lemonade," and it's all about how God brings something good out of all the sour circumstances, all the bitter disappointments, all the devastating and painful things that can come [...]

You know, life doesn't always go the way we want it to, and many things in our lives are out of our control. They're just beyond our control. There are many things in life we don't get to choose. You don't get to choose most of [...]

I have here a table and this is the kind of table Jesus would have eaten at. You know, it's a low table, it's more like a coffee table. In the first century in the Middle East, you would come to the dinner table and you would recline like [...]

We're gonna do a little bit of moving around and then we're gonna stabilize back in Hebrews 6. And of all the passages the Lord could have given me on this day, I was really surprised by this one. But verse 10 begins, I just love the first [...]

We're gonna be, again, in Matthew 14 and 25, and again, it's a very familiar passage. Jesus had just fed the multitude, 5000 with, you know, loaves and fish and he dismissed the crowds and the Bible says he made the disciples get into the [...]

We're gonna talk about listening to God today, which let's just be honest, it's confusing. It's not super clear. Sometimes church folk, you know, they make it over simple, you know? "Hey, I'm trying, man, I just [...]

If you turn in your Bibles with me to John 5, I'm gonna start reading in verse 1. John 5:1 says, "Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days. Inside the city, near the sheep gate, was the pool of Bethesda, with [...]

I think I've probably gone years at a time without preaching on patience. Feels like a waste of time. Why would I preach on patience when I could do a good sermon about productivity? Why preach on patience when I could talk about being [...]

I'm gonna define contentment this way. And this is not Webster, this is me making this up for this message. I think it's gonna, at least this is what I'm aiming at. So, see if you wanna aim at it too. Contentment is living at the [...]

Now the book of Exodus please, verse 25, "And you shall serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness for the abundance of all things. He, now wait a minute, wait a minute". I have heard this over and over and over. This [...]
