    There are two kinds of wisdom: Wisdom of the world and Wisdom of the Kingdom of God.

    1st Corinthians 1:27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may ...read more

    To be a mighty warrior for God, Gideon needs to overcome his disappointment with God and his doubts in God.

    Judges 6:1-24, 33-40 Israel did evil in the sight of God, again. They worshipped the false gods of the Amorites (6:10) and were greatly oppressed by their enemies. • The Midianites, the Amalekites and other Eastern nations came against Israel in big numbers, like swarms of ...read more

    life will be challenging but the Holy Spirit will guide you

    Here's something you don't hear often in evangelistic invitations: God loves you and has a difficult plan for your life! That's exactly what Jesus says. John 15:18-19 - If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As ...read more

    Do You Love Me More Than These Series

    In the same way Jesus checked out the heart of Peter, He speaks to us to check us out. While we are hard on Peter for the denial, the personal question is how many times & in what ways have we denied Jesus?

    “Do You Love Me More Than These?” John 21:15-17 • Nelson Price is right on point when he makes this statement, “JESUS CHRIST often endures our embarrassing abuse, denial, and betrayal only to come back compassionately to restore us to an even more meaningful love ...read more

    Obscuring God

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 19, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,318 views

    We need to see the Lord clearly. We need to see the Lord always before our faces. The only problem is that many of us are spiritually ADD and we allow the things of this world to obscure the face of the Lord. May the Lord help us to clear those away!

    Acts 2:22-25 (Let people find this while you say the following) In these verses Peter is in the middle of the recorded part of his sermon to those who were attracted to the sound of the might, rushing wind and to those proclaiming the wonders of God in foreign languages even though they were all ...read more

    Settled In The Word

     | 6,553 views

    As Paul continued to share wisdom and guidance with Timothy, he knew eventually Timothy would face false doctrine and false accusation. In order to overcome, he needed to be settled in the Word.

    Settled in the Word 2 Timothy 2: 14-18 Paul continued to offer sound wisdom and guidance to his young protégé, Timothy. Having dealt with many who opposed him, Paul was well acquainted with the struggles of ministry among those determined to hinder his efforts. While Paul faced physical ...read more

    Looking To The End Times Series

    There is a lot of excitement generated in the Christian community around the return of Jesus. Jesus' men were excited too, but what Jesus tells them is not a timeline or series of events, but how they should act while waiting. It's good advise for us too

    There’s one thing that is pretty clear—no one understood Jesus’ mission as the ultimate action hero. The people that followed Him closely were starting to get that He was the Messiah—but what did that mean? As I’ve mentioned several times in our journey through Mark, ...read more

    Invitation To A Table For Two In The Wilderness

    Contributed by Ian Johnson on Feb 19, 2013
     | 5,255 views

    The call to come inward to the table is often ignored because many don’t see the value of such fellowship; their aim is to be doing where as the aim of the table for two is simply “Being” in His presence.

    The Christian faith is about relationship it’s not about religion or outward displays of Church life that are just mere forms of religious expression. Jesus spoke very firmly to the religious of the day, who felt they were doing the right thing in preserving religious tradition but ignoring ...read more

     | 7,866 views

    This sermon speaks of the unsettling times in our life when things are ALMOST but NOT YET. It is a time of not knowing how things will work out for us and that time creates feelings of fear, anixiety, and apprehension. Elijah experienced such a time.

    Valley Grove A/G July 21, 2013 “Living Without Fear in ‘In-Between’ Times” I Kings 19:1-8 In the previous chapter the Prophet Elijah saw God send rain on the land where there had been no rain for three long years. He then went to Jezreel. King Ahab told Jezebel all that ...read more

    The Blood Of Christ

     | 6,514 views

    It seems that in the church today we hear less and less about the blood of Christ, why it was necessary for Him to die and what it means to our eternal destiny.

    This past Thursday was the Fourth of July, Independence Day in the old US of A! Fireworks! Parades! A National Holiday! Independence from the will and domination of an earthly king! But, what was the price of this freedom. The lives of countless people. The shedding of blood for the cause of ...read more

    The Wheat And Tares Series

     | 9,269 views

    In ancient Mediterranean world feuding marked the social landscape of the first-century. Being born into a family, a person inherited a set of friends and enemies. The scenario of continued/mutual presence of weeds/wheat left alone until harvest-time mentions the man’s enemy without explanation.

    The Wheat and Tares Matthew 13:24-30 What can we learn from this Parable/Story of Jesus? We must be Perceptive vv.24-28 We have an enemy: Satan His one goal is to oppose God, the people of God and the things of God with all his might. He is powerful Jude 9; James 4:7 He has ...read more

    Pergamos: A Compromising Commitment

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 20, 2020
     | 5,212 views

    Pergamos was a prominent city, but there was much idolatry and immorality there. Some of the believers had remained faithful, but others had compromised their stand for the Lord. Jesus admonished them to abide faithful.

    Pergamos: A Compromising Commitment Revelation 2: 12-17 Pergamos was a beautifully situated city with an air of royalty about it. It sat on top of a huge mountain, arising ever so steeply and majestically out of a beautiful valley. The city's citizens could see the Mediterranean Sea some ...read more

    God With Us: The Promises Beyond The Prophecy

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 15, 2021
     | 2,625 views

    Isaiah 7:14 is quoted in Matthew 1:23 as a verification of the prophecy concerning the virgin conception of the Lord Jesus. God is with us in the midst of our troubles, our victories, the affairs of humanity, the events of the last days and eternity (Hebrews 13:5).

    The LORD always comes through even when it seems that we have run to the end of the road and see no way out of the predicament in which we find ourselves, both as individuals and as a nation. He has let us go our merry way throughout the course of history, with the consequences to follow. Our ...read more

     | 2,684 views

    We cannot and should not ever allow the distractions and babble of the world to keep us from the sacred duty of proclaiming the eternal gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified and risen.

    I probably need to take some of you back to school to teach you about a virtue that too many of us, regardless of occupation or interest, have either neglected, abandoned, or thought to be irrelevant. That virtue is known as "diligence" It means to be steady in one's application ...read more
