The God "Box" is a sermon about how we all struggle at times in letting God out of the "box" and let Him operate in our lives. I discuss why we do it and the benefits to "releasing" God to work in our lives. I used a 8 foot refrigerator box with the word "God" on it as a prop. It starts with 2 friends bringing it into the service for me. The real "God Box" is our heart...the home of the "Holy Spirit" as believers in Christ.

The Connection Series Finale (Phew!) Step 11- Summed up by me about what Jesus said when asked which commandment was the greatest of them all: "Love God & Love People"!

4 words that should direct our Christian walk every day.

Step 10 in the Connection Series. Exploring the Connection between NOT Coveting and the Glory that belongs to God alone. The worst form of Coveting is when anyone covets God's Glory. I submit that was the original sin satan struggled with. We struggle with it too to some extent.

Step 9 in the continuing saga of the comparison (the argument I am making) that Jesus was putting the 10 commandments in prayer form as He taught His talmuds (Disciples, followers) how to pray. This deals with the bridge between No lying and Thine is the Power.

The Connection Series latest. This is Part "B" of Step 8. The Connection between: "You shall not Steal" & "Thine (Yours) is the Kingdom" and this is the 2nd part: "Yours is the Kingdom"...God wants to give you the Kingdom, you don't have to "steal" it!

The Connection Series. Step 8a. Thou shalt not steal (KJV). I talk about different ways of stealing and want us all to consider if we are doing right in different situations. The connection to the Lord's Prayer will be made next week in Step 8b- "For Thine is the Kingdom."

The Series Continues. This is Step 7 "B". Step 7 had to be divided into 2 sections. The 1st part being the 7th commandemnt- Do not commit adultery and this week bridging to the Lord's Prayer Part - "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." The problem with "tests" is that we might not pass! Also looks at the differecnce between "tests" & "trials".

The Connection Series. 2 parts for Step 7 - No Adultery & Lead us not in to temptation/Deliver us from evil. Adultery is both physical and mental as well as spiritual. Also, you can adulterate either one of two covenant relationships-God and you and if married your spouse and you.

The Connection Series latest installment, exploring the connection between the Lord's Prayer & the 10 Commandments. Step 6 on you shall not murder and forgive as you have been forgiven. Forgiveness not easy to do but neccessary for Christian growth. Also, murder is not always physically killing someone.

The Connection Series continues with the teaching of the second half of Step 5- Called 5b- The first half (5a) dealt with Honoring our parents and the second part will deal with the connection between that and "give us this day our daily bread." God's "Bread" to/for us is often way more than physical provision.
