1. Unknowingly Shipwrecking Your Faith
Contributed on May 16, 2017
This is the sixth message in the series on Faith. Many Christians allow ministers to speak into their lives without "fact checking" what they say against Scripture. This can cause them to shipwreck their faith.
This is the sixth message in this series on Faith. The underlying theme of the series has been our responsibility for faith either manifesting or not manifesting in our lives. For a person to say “I have faith” and not produce “faith results” means that person is not walking in faith the way he ...read more

2. Faith And Unanswered Prayer
Contributed on May 1, 2017
This is the first message in a series on faith. God always answers prayer birthed by faith.
Religion has taught us that God decides whether or not He will answer our prayers. And because we believe that teaching we often end our prayers with “if it be thy will”. In other words, “God, I’m not really sure what your will is in this situation, but I’m going to pray and if my prayer is not ...read more

3. Who’s Faith Matters?
Contributed on May 1, 2017
God needs our faith to move in our lives. In this message, we examine four passages in the New Testament that show how the person's faith enabled Jesus to move.
Many of us say we are living by faith but we are not getting faith results. How can that be? We say we are living by faith and when we pray the reason for our prayers remain unchanged. How can that be? Could it be, ladies and gentlemen, and I mean no disrespect, that we have been taught a faith ...read more

4. Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules”
Contributed on May 9, 2017
This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.
Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more

5. Love And Faith
Contributed on May 15, 2017
In this message, we're going to take a detailed look at I Corinthians 13:4-7
My wife and I and our son and his girlfriend saw Dionne Warwick in concert recently. She sounded good at age 76. She sang all of her signature songs including “What the world needs now is love sweet love. It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.” There’s more truth to this than most ...read more

6. Doubt Causes The "Bullets" To Be Real
Contributed on Jun 22, 2017
This message continues the series on faith. It references "The Spectre of the Gun," my absolute favorite episode of the original Star Trek series.
I am a fan of the original Star Trek series. My absolute favorite episode is “The Spectre of the Gun,” which premiered in 1968, the show’s third season. Here’s the storyline: After violating Melkotian air space, Captain Kirk and members of his crew are taken from the Enterprise and sent to die ...read more
