Life Lessons From The Bible

Baptism, It's what's for salvation!

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:38:50 GMT

Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments." Baptism is one of those commandments for entering the Kingdom. It shows our faith and dedication to Him. We don't argue or question why or how, we just do it the way He says to do it. Romans 6:1-11.

Take Me To Your Leader

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:35:23 GMT

Some feel that following Christ is like picking their favorite song. Is it that subjective? 1 Col. 1:15-23.

Candle of Life

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:25:59 GMT

In scripture, candles not only represent the light of God, but it also represents our life.

Ready, Willing and What?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:45:25 GMT

Want to secure your salvation? Peter tells us there is a way. 2 Peter 1:1-10

Beyond Obedience

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:10:34 GMT

What is at the heart of the rich man not wanting to give up his riches and follow Jesus? Maybe the heart of the matter was his heart. Mark 10:21-27

A Light Unto The Darkness

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:46:19 GMT

What does it mean to be the light of the world? Matthew 5:14-16

Pass The Salt

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:01:36 GMT

We are the salt of the earth. Time to get out of the shaker. Jesus' statement in Matthew 5:13 is lost on a world with plenty of salt on the shelf. It has a much deeper meaning when we really look at what His illustration reveals to us.

Help Now My Unbelief!

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:37:04 GMT

Weak faith? God can help. Mark 9:24

Compassion

Kenneth Morvant — Thu, 04 May 2006 02:07:45 GMT

True Christian compassion as illustrated in the account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead.

Fearing Salvation

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:23:56 GMT

Why do some people reject the gentle call of Jesus to enter into His rest? Some reject salvation because they fear the changes that will come from accepting Christ. However, the changes that occur are the changes we desire to happen as Christians and those changes will make us happy and content in life.

The WORD You Can Trust In

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:14:57 GMT

The Bible is God's plan of salvation to save us from ourselves. It is God breathed and it is the standard of measurement that everyone must follow and adhere to in order to seek and serve Him. Deviation is not an option. Just ask Adam and Eve.

Is It Worth It?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 16:49:33 GMT

Is it worth it to be a Christian when you see the worldly prosper?

Barnabas, son of encouragement

Kenneth Morvant — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:08:44 GMT

Barnabas is a unique character in the Bible. Called the son of encouragement, he was really so much more.

Unlocking The Power Of Prayer

Kenneth Morvant — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:03:42 GMT

How to use prayer to diminish doubt in your life. The faithful in the Bible prayed a certain way that allowed them to have confidence that their problems were not too big for God.

Great Men of Doubt

Kenneth Morvant — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:57:01 GMT

Doubt is not necessarily indicative of weak faith. Even the faithful had their doubts. Abraham, Elijah, Peter and John the Baptist all had theirs. Doubt actually causes you and me to seek God's help in life

The Valley of Despair, The Height of Hope

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:22:12 GMT

Hosea 2:14-20. God views His relationship with us like a spousal relationship. Not a one hour a week relationship, but one that is 24/7. When Israel was in captivity for infidelity, God sought to prove His love for them to show them who their true love is. In our valley of despair, God shows us that he is in control and shows His love by delivering us out of our problems.

God Is Calling

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 18:48:36 GMT

Does God give special revelation to people today? When does God speak to us? Amos 1:1-2 gives us the answer.

Resolution or Revival?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 17:30:44 GMT

Resolutions are made to be broken, but revival can be forever. 2 Kings 17:23ff

The More Things Change ...

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:17:45 GMT

The writers of the scriptures spoke in terms of absolute truth. No grey areas and no relativism. In 2 Timothy 3:16 Paul warned the young preacher about those who deceive and are deceived. The greatest deceiver we need to watch for is ourselves. It is sometimes hardest to be honest with ourselves. Relativism is not new, but it is very popular today. The more things change, the more they stay the same. We face the same problems with self-reflection and assessment as they did back then. Be honest with yourself and God's strength will help you grow and mature in your life.

Overcoming Overwhelming Odds

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 16:23:28 GMT

Christians are not just survivors, they are overcomers. 1 Jn 1:1ff

Pledge of Allegience

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:36:38 GMT

The Forth of July reminds me of the times I recited the Pledge of Allegience in school. As Christians we pledge our allegience to Christ. Deut. 23:21 reminds us that vows such as these are not to be taken lightly.

A Father's Life

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:22:07 GMT

Learning to be a Christian father from Paul.

Jesus Chose ...

Kenneth Morvant — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:00:46 GMT

Jesus chose the apostles from a diverse group of individuals. The church needs diversity in order to be healthy and help others find salvation.

In God We Trust

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 01:40:45 GMT

In Job 42 we see why Job suffered and stayed true to God. His understanding of God and the faith it brings got him through it all. It can help us to.

Do The Math

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 31 May 2009 16:33:12 GMT

James 1:2ff presents a peculiar way of looking at troubles in our lives. We don't usually look at our trials with joy, but if we study the passages there is a positive benefit to suffering. If you do the math you can see that it works out just right in the end.

Remember

Kenneth Morvant — Wed, 27 May 2009 23:05:33 GMT

On Memorial Day we remember those who died to protect our freedom. Phil 2:3-4 reminds us that we need to remember those who have gone to their reward and have left the legacy we enjoy in our churches today. Also, we need to remember those living today who need Christ in their lives.

Scratching the Ears of the Dead

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 20:37:22 GMT

Luke 2:8-14 gives us the true meaning of Christmas.

The Bible You Haven't Read Yet: They Shoot Horses Don't They?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 18:58:46 GMT

What if your horse won the Kentucky Derby and you chose it for the sacrifice today? Today's archetype is the unblemished animal used for the sacrifice. They used their best and it did not bring forgivness. God changed the sacrifice to His best and we have salvation. Giving your best is what God wants from us today.

The Bible You Haven't Read Yet: Bread and Water

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 00:22:59 GMT

This weeks archetype is about our need for nourishment. In the wilderness the Israelites had manna from above and water from a rock to meet their physical needs. Jesus because our living bread and the living stream for our spiritual needs.

Longing For Security

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:40:15 GMT

In Exodus 16:1-3 we see the archetype of worldy security, Egypt. God changed that to Canaan or the land where God supports and secures us.

Peak to Peak

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 00:31:25 GMT

The archetype of a mountain is the subject of this weeks sermon. A mountain of sin and law represented by Mount Sinai is changed to Mount Moriah which represents mercy, grace and sacrifice.

The Bible You Haven"t Read Yet: Blood Is Thicker Than Water

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 18:56:13 GMT

Fourth in the series on archetypes and how God changed them. In Egypt, blood caused the angel to passover the houses that had the blood on them. God changed the passover from animal blood to Christ's blood. In judgment God will passover those who are covered by Jesus' blood and they will not experience judgment.

The Bible You Haven't Read Yet: Cutting Down The Family Tree

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 00:38:41 GMT

Third in the Series on archetypes. The story of Isaac's sacrifice from Genesis 22 contains multiple archetypes such as the absolute surrender of Abraham to his faith in God. The relationship between a father and the son he has to sacrifice parallels God and Christ and the provision of the sacrifice for our sins by God in Christ.

The Bible You Haven't Read Yet: A Rising Tide Floats All Boats

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 00:43:46 GMT

Second in the series looking at Biblical archetypes and how God illustrates the changes He makes to them and their meaning. This week we see the illustration of saving faith through the Flood story and baptism as the interrogation of true faith in a person.

The Bible You Haven't Read Yet: What kind of man are you?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 17:59:40 GMT

God used archetypes to illustrate some of the lessons of the Bible. Yet, they are often neglected because we don't have the perspective of the first people to read the scriptures. If you could see it through their eyes, you would not see anything like you saw them in the past. This week we see the archetype of Adam and Christ.

Still Taking The Bitter Pill?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 22:45:05 GMT

Bitterness and hatred will destroy us both physically and spiritually. This is one pill you want to avoid. Hebrews 12:14-15

Back To The Future

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:51:03 GMT

In Rev. 2 we see that the church at Ephesus is doing everything an active, involved church can do, but Jesus warns them that they have lost their first love. You can do everything possible, but if you are only going through the motions it means nothing. Ephesus is now a ruin. You don't want to end up that way. So how do you get back on track and regain that burning love of Christ? You can start by going back to the beginning to rekindle your love of Christ and get back to living your future!

Only One God

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:23:26 GMT

The first commandment is not just the jealous rantings of a god among many. It is the assertion that God is the only real god. True contentment and happiness comes from knowing that He is in charge and will take care of us is we obey Him.

Don't Blame Me!

Kenneth Morvant — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:05:15 GMT

When Jesus said He was the living water and those who were thirsty could drink the multitudes knew that He said He was God or God's Son. Some accepted and some could not. The ones who could not accept that blamed it on something else that caused them not to believe. From John 7:40ff

Strength For The Journey

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 19:04:57 GMT

Bent Out Of Shape

My Name Is Nobody

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:16:46 GMT

God does not choose leaders by the same criteria we choose our leaders. In 1 Samuel 16 we see what His requirements are for a leader and for His people.

The Abundant Life

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 21:48:01 GMT

You already have it all when you give your life to Christ. John 10:10

Gratitude or Attutude

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:55:20 GMT

In Luke 17:11-19 ten lepers got what they wanted. Healed, they sought the approval of the priests to reenter society. Only one thought to thank the one who made it possible before going to the priests.

Here's Your Sign

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 20:02:52 GMT

Sign, Sign, everywhere a sign. If you had a sign for your forehead, what would it say?

Under Pressure

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:08:37 GMT

Sometimes we feel that life is a treadmill and we are running as fast as we can and we are still not getting anywhere. Jesus wants to help. Instead of pulling your burden with a harness, let Jesus hook up His yolk to your life and you are not alone with your burdens. Matthew 11:28ff.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:03:29 GMT

Minefield of Sin

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 21:33:17 GMT

Follow The Bouncing Ball

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:16:48 GMT

Paul tells us to imitate him imitating Christ. Today, we are the ones others should imitate. Are we being a good example/witness for the Lord?

What Are You Working For?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 19:04:31 GMT

Romans 6:23 tells us that we earn our way to everlasting punishment. However, eternal life if a gift. What is your decision?

Freedom To Do What?

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:27:20 GMT

As we think about freedom this 4th. of July, let us also look at the freedom from sin and doubt we enjoy in Christ.

What is Man?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:37:39 GMT

What is man that God considers Him. That is what David asked in Psalm 8. The answer will give your life purpose and meaning.

The Half-Empty Life

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 18:24:13 GMT

Cynicism makes our lives less enjoyable. We can focus on the worldy like Solomon and write our own Ecclesiastes, or we can focus on Christ and write our own happy ending.

A Father of Faith

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:45:43 GMT

The story of the prodigal son is the story of our rebellion and how God (the father in the story)receives us when we return to him.

Life's Jackpot

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:14:52 GMT

What is your soul worth? Are you looking for riches here? In Matthew 16:26 Jesus asks us that question.

The Great Potter In The Sky

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 19:08:13 GMT

God gives us an illustration of how he can make us better. However, like clay we need to be pliable in order for it to happen. From Jer. 18:1-6.

Christian's Memorial Day

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 25 May 2008 17:37:04 GMT

Christians celebrate a memorial day every Sunday. Titus 3:3-7 tells us why.

The Narrow And The Few

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 18 May 2008 17:58:42 GMT

Jesus said that there is only one gate to enter the kingdom. He also said that it was narrow and few would find it. Statements like this make me sit up and pay attention. From Luke 13:22ff.

A Tale Of Two Mothers

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 11 May 2008 18:50:54 GMT

Sometimes the values of a good mother are more evident as time goes on. From Romans 16.

A Heart of Dirt

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 04 May 2008 21:43:04 GMT

Jesus tells us that there are four responses to the gospel. Where do you fit in? From Mark 4:1ff

That's Peculiar!

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 17:24:10 GMT

The KJV says that we are a peculiar people. The Greek word means set aside or set apart. However, we are a peculiar people to the worldly and that is not a bad thing. Titus 2:11-14

My Way Or The Highway

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:36:32 GMT

Some ask why we can't worship God any way we want to woship Him. One story that illustrates that is the one about the sacrifices of Cain and Abel. One was acceptable and one was not. One was a sacrifice and one was just an offering. On the road of life, "I Did It My Way" should not be our mantra, but it should be I Did It God's Way. From Genesis Chapter 4.

Victory in Jesus: The One-Two Punch of Fear and Doubt Part 2

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:44:00 GMT

Part 2 of the last lesson in the series "Victory In Jesus." Fear keeps us from experiencing full faith in Christ and fear of what accepting Christ will do to us personally is the greatest fear of all.

Victory In Jesus: The One-Two Punch of Fear and Doubt Part 1

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:01:21 GMT

1 John 5:4. Faith is our victory. This two part lesson looks at the two stumbling blocks that prevent us from having full faith in Jesus. This lesson looks at doubt and how it robs us of true joy in Christ.

Victory In Jesus: Faith, Our First Line Of Defense!

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 17:54:30 GMT

Faith is our only defense against Satan, trials and tribulations. We will not be successful in our walk if we do not build up a strong shield against our enemy. Doubt weakens that shield and we must rid it from our thoughts. Ephesians 6:16.

Victory In Jesus, The Resurrection

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 19:00:26 GMT

Victory In Jesus Series: Last week we left Peter drowning in a sea of doubt. This week we see Peter experiencing victory in Jesus because of his faith. His faith in the resurrection that emboldened the disciples to preach the first sermon in Acts 2:14ff

Victory In Jesus: Peter

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:11:36 GMT

This week we explore Peter's faith and doubt in the story of walking on water. As long as Peter keep his sight on Jesus he was fine. However, when he started to look at his situation he began to sink. Peter's faith won out over his doubts. In our own life, who is winning?

Victory In Jesus: Joshua

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 17:48:21 GMT

Second in the Victory in Jesus series. Faith is the victory for Joshua and the Israelites against Jericho. Joshua 6:1ff

Huh?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:24:54 GMT

First in the series "Victory in Jesus": God's commands may seem out of the ordinary for some, but follow them we must. 1 Jn 5:4 says we are victorious because of our faith and faith leads us to trust and follow God even when the world is heading the other direction.

Start With A Bang And End With A Fizzle

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:20:00 GMT

Solomon is remembered mostly for his great wisdom. However, his life went downhill because of his turning away from God. From 1 Kings 11.

Returning To The Mud

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:41:56 GMT

Isaiah 30:1-7 teaches us that the world is not a place to return to once we have accepted Christ. The Israelites desired to return to the slavery of Egypt rather than face the unknown with God on their side and at other times thought Egypt would assist them. People today return to the world for the supposed security it offers to us. It is slavery with a ball and chain. The world is too big of a ball to be chained to today.

Walking Away Empty Handed

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 18:28:22 GMT

Empty hands and fat wallets may not be the best way to go. From Matt. 19:16ff

Moments In Time

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:58:58 GMT

Jesus had many moments in time that caused those around him to take notice.

That Depends On What Truth Means

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 18:23:01 GMT

Are there any absolute truths today? From John 8:31-32

Sin Doesn't Affect Me

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:06:00 GMT

Lot while righteous, did not worship God like his uncle Abraham did. He chose the fertile plains by Sodom and Gomorrah. He prospered and became a magistrate, but that was all taken away when God destroyed the cities. What did he gain? Nothing. Abraham let Lot chose the direction he would go knowing God would take care of him no matter what would happen. Abraham had faith and worshiped God. What did he gain? Everything. Sin affects us and living around sin wears on our faith. Chose your path wisely so that God can be a part of us and our life.

It Says What It Means and Means What It Says

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 18:38:29 GMT

2 Peter 1:20ff tells us that we can't twist the scriptures to our desires, but that we must "study to show ourselves approved" what was written.

Someone Has Got To Do It!

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 02:55:55 GMT

In John 21:1-17 We see someone not unlike ourselves. He had given up and went back to doing what he used to do in life. That man was Peter and Jesus, in verses 15-17 makes Peter confront his apathy. The result was the first sermon in Acts chapter two that Peter preached to the multitude. It is said that the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. However, you can pull yourself up out of the rut and that is what Peter did and made a difference in the world.

How Do You Melt a Heart of Stone?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 18:20:45 GMT

From Ezek 11:1-19. Israel was in captivity because their hearts were like stone. Many today are affected by a "heart of stone" that prevents them from fully experiencing God and Jesus in their lives

Your Best For His

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 00:14:15 GMT

1 Kings 18. For true repentance the Israelites had to give up their most precious commodity after three and a half years of no rain.

True Repentance

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 17:09:14 GMT

Luke 13:1-5 What is "true" repentance? Is it being caught in the act or a change of mind? What stops some from really repenting?

Lies We Live By

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 18:49:40 GMT

Paul's problems inspire us to have the proper attitude about our lives and some of the lies we tell ourselves about how life should be in Christ.

Technorati Profile

A Faith That Works

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 19:30:08 GMT

James and Paul seem to be in a war against faith verses works. However, nothing could be farther from the truth if one carefully examines the book of James.

What's Going On?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 19:18:19 GMT

Habakkuk wonders what's going on, because evil abounds in the world and God seems to do nothing about it. Atheists and Christians alike wonder why bad things happen to good people. The atheist sees evil and concludes there is no God. Christians see evil and have faith that God is in control and will work things out in the end. Habakkuk 2:4 states that the righteous will live by faith.

I Am And That's All

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 17:32:22 GMT

1 Cor. 9:8 teaches us that God is the "I am". He is everything to us.

God Doesn't Mind, Right?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 17:06:29 GMT

Many say, "God does not mind what we do." See what He does when even his chosen people felt that way. From Is. 1:1ff

Shall We Gather?

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 17:40:28 GMT

Spirutality vs Religion. Worship in private or worship in church. Before you decide for yourself why not find out what scripture says. From Hebrews 10:24-26.

When Burdens Seem Too Great

Kenneth Morvant — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 21:40:35 GMT

How we should deal with the burdens we must bear in life and how we can help others when they experience them. From Gal. 6

Your Own Worst Enemy

Kenneth Morvant — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 16:17:28 GMT
