Sermons on A Gift Box:

The Flow Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 2, 2022

The focus of this sermon is on Jesus proclaiming at the last day of the Feast of the Tabernacles that soon Living Water (i.e., the Holy Spirit) will be flowing to the people, and whether that the promise is still applicable to us today.

Good morning. Did everybody get a bottle of water when they came in? Don’t you think that was nice of us to give you water? How many of you would have preferred an air conditioner? We are going to take an offering right now for the air conditioning. Actually, the good news is we have ...read more

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Feb 4, 2021

Where’s your fruit, Church? Maybe the world doesn’t see much fruit from us because we’re hiding out like Moses and making excuses instead of jumping into action. God sometimes asks us to do difficult things. Will we trust Him? Do we respond in faith or with excuses when God calls?

Last week, we heard a powerful message on the topic of faith and works... about how faith without works is dead. The pastor said, “Focus on God, and then He through you will produce the fruit... You can’t do anything for God... but God through you can do amazing, amazing, amazing things!” He ...read more

David, The Protector

Contributed by Dove Inspirations on Nov 8, 2021

King David protected and went after what was under his care when he was a shepherd. A character trait to be emulated.

DAVID, the protector of what was entrusted to him At an earlier time in his life, before the fame and glory hit, David tended his father’s sheep. Now, David was not his father’s favorite son, infect, the leaving out of David in the line up of Jesse’s sons makes one cringe. It would almost appear ...read more

Marriage And Sex Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 11, 2018

Paul in no sense advocated celibacy, except in certain situations and circumstances, and even in those cases it was merely "allowable," and not commanded.

What Do You Have In Your Hand?

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 14, 2025

Like the widow in 2 Kings 4, you may feel like you have nothing, but God is asking, "What do you have in your hand?" The little you have is enough for God to work a great miracle if you surrender it to Him.

Act 4:31  And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.  The Book of Acts is where most of the references are made to various miracles and people being filled ...read more
