    Do Americans worship idols? Isaiah 40:18-28 provides a powerful message against idol worship, the thinking that goes along with it, what causes it, and the solution.

    As we kick off the season of Lent in 2013 we take a look at the 40 days of temptation of Christ in the wilderness and see what this means to us in our lives for Christ today.

    There is a saying, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” This is the first Sunday of the Lenten Season. Lent is a non-essential. Lent is not a Biblical doctrine nor is it a Scripturally mandated activity. On the other hand it is not sinful nor ...read more

    WHAT IS LENT? Last Wednesday we celebrated Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent.

    The Psalmist of Ps. 40 was in deep despair when God set his feet on rock and put a new song in his heart. Can our hearts sing of the saving power of God?

    Does Your Heart Sing? Psalm 40:1-11 January 20, 2008 I know that this may sound pretty odd…maybe crazy to you.

    In Prioritizing the Word of God, we must be : 1) Devoted to the Best (Luke 10:38-39), without settling for and being: 2) Distracted from the Good (Luke 10:40-42).

    The word “priority” is a commonly used one today. Books and seminars purporting to teach people how get their lives in order by understanding and setting their priorities abound. As people’s lives become more frenetic, frantic, disjointed, and disconnected, they battle to stay ...read more

    This sermon's main point is to encourage believers to rely on God's strength in times of weariness and weakness, drawing hope and renewal from His divine power as expressed in Isaiah 40:29-31.

    Good morning, Church family! Have you ever felt so tired, so worn out, that you thought you couldn't possibly take another step? I know I sure have. And I'm guessing, if we're all being honest here, that you've felt the same way too. I'm reminded of what C.S. Lewis once wrote: "God, who foresaw ...read more

    Don't Settle For Facts, Discover The Truth - Mark 4:35-40; Numbers 26-14:1

    based on 6 ratings
     | 30,144 views

    Most Christians have substituted God's truth for facts. They believe facts rather than the truth of the word of God. Facts never set anyone free, truth does.

    John 8:32 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free'. In the first story (Mark 4:35-40), Jesus was sleeping while his disciples were worried about a raging storm; the second (Numbers 13:26-14:1) reveals the nation of Israel (save Joshua and Caleb) weeping upon discovering the ...read more
