Esther 2:1-18 When You're In A Contest You Didn't Choose To Be In
Contributed on Apr 17, 2024
Esther finds herself in a beauty contest she didn't sign up for. In life we find ourselves in competitions that seem unfair. Discover how God guided Esther through this situation.
We've been in Esther for the past two weeks, we've been in chapter 1, and what we found out is there is King Ahasuerus, but most of us know him as Xerxes, his Greek name. He's been throwing just one big party for six months; he's just been having a great time, living it up. He ...read more

Philippians 4:4-9 - How To Rejoice In The Lord Always
Contributed on Apr 14, 2024
The Apostle Paul directs us to rejoice in the Lord always, but some days rejoicing is easier said than done. In this message we examine the framework to keep rejoicing regardless of your personal circumstances.
The Apostle Paul, a little background—he's in prison. At some point, he realizes he's probably going to be put to death. When you read his resume of catastrophe, it's pretty impressive: shipwrecks, bitten by a snake, whipped, beaten, left for dead, threatened constantly. And yet, in the ...read more

Contributed on Apr 12, 2024
The authority of Jesus teaching caused the demons to reveal themselves in protest. The authority of Jesus' command causes sickness to immediately cease. How does that same authority operate in the lives of believers today?
Today we're going to deal with two topics that can be somewhat controversial within the church: the demonic and healing. We're going to dive into the Word of God, lay some proper foundation today, and let's pray first because that's where we need to go. Father, we come before You. ...read more

Luke 6:12-16 - Choosing Of The 12 Apostles
Contributed on Apr 12, 2024
After a dedicated time of retreat and prayer, Jesus chooses 12 from among his followers to be his ambassadors. Although none of them seem qualified, time has proven out their faithfulness to the call.
Some Sundays start out a little more hectic than others. Here I am, supposed to preach today, and I left my Bible at home. I was not off to a good start. Fortunately, my dear wife got it to me in time for the first service, but my brain has been a little mushy ever since. So, we're going to get ...read more

Luke 7:1-10 - The Centurion's Faith
Contributed on Apr 11, 2024
The Centurion didn't have all of the facts, but he knew he needed God to do something for someone he cared about. You don't have to have all the answers, but are you willing to intercede for those around you who need a touch from the Savior?
We've been in the Gospel of Luke since January. We'll be there through the rest of the year and early into next year. Today, we're in chapter seven, and we're going to look at the first 10 verses. So if you've got your Bible with you, hold that up. If it's your phone or your ...read more
