    Have you ever felt as if your efforts were in vain, and questioned if you were making a difference? We find ourselves questioning God, and tempted to abandon the work. We are not the first to feel this way. God is able to provide the strength we need.

    Compelled to Continue Jeremiah 20:9 The life and ministry of Jeremiah was interesting to say the least. He is commonly known as the “Weeping Prophet,” and for good reason. His ministry spanned forty years in Judah, leading up to their captivity at the hands of the Babylonians. During his faithful ...read more

    The Issue Of Unforgiveness And Bitterness

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,737 views

    Bitterness is a weed whose root is unforgiveness. Whether it's from a bitter breakup, divorce, rejection, abandonment, or whatever, if we refuse to forgive in those situations, bitterness takes hold of our lives. And where there is bitterness, there can be no love and no peace.

    One of the secret sins believers can be easily guilty of is being unwilling to forgive which leads to bitterness. Even though it is often assumed to be more acceptable, unforgiveness is no less an offense to God than any other sin. It is the failure to deal with forgiveness that produces ...read more

    The Last Word

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,285 views

    Skeptics claim that death has the final word. God claims that life has the final word. Should we abandon the skeptics’ claim for God’s. Should we? John says “yes,” and he gives us three reasons that we should.

    It was Sunday morning. The pastor was planning to preach on the Resurrection of the Lord. And he wanted his sermon to make an impression on the congregation. So he proceeded to shave in front of them. He lathered up, ran his razor over his face, first one side, then the other, then the chin, and ...read more

    28 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:11-13 - Message 28 – Paul Extends Himself To The Limits And Another Expose´ Of Those Who Were False Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 11, 2025
     | 265 views

    What was the large letter formation Paul used? Why did he use that? DO NOT compromise the faith or deny the faith because you are afraid of persecution. In Galatia they were abandoning the faith to avoid trouble. Very special note for younger Christians.

    28 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:11-13 - Message 28 – PAUL EXTENDS HIMSELF TO THE LIMITS AND ANOTHER EXPOSE´ OF THOSE WHO WERE FALSE As we near the end of this heartfelt letter to the Galatian churches, Paul touches on a personal matter that raises much speculation, and he delivers ...read more

    We live in an age of constant distraction. People start diets but give up in a week. Gym memberships are abandoned after January. Careers are changed at the first sign of hardship. Sadly, this same spirit of giving up can seep into our spiritual lives.

     | 4,491 views

    The word "come" is extremely important in the purpose and ministry of Jesus; it is also important in the teaching of salvation. We are taking a few weeks to understand the "coming of the Kingdom of God" in the gospels and Old Testament.

    “The Coming of Christ in John” John 5:43 Did you ever notice how important little words are? Many times we might throw out “big two dollar words” with the intention of impressing people, but the ...read more

    Contributed by Dale Carter Sr. on Jun 5, 2020
     | 4,798 views

    The Fire of passion will ward off the wolves in sheep clothing. The fires of passion will let you lay down and find rest and peace which the Psalmist described as green pastures and still waters and arise refreshed ready to take up your cross and follow the Great Shepard, Jesus Christ.

    30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

    Every person will stand before Jesus one day. The rich and the poor. The powerful and the weak. The famous and the unknown. No one will escape that moment. And Jesus will separate people into two groups—like a shepherd separates sheep from goats. The question is: Which side will you be on?

    1st of four in a Christmas Series. It began in the fields with the sheep. Their quiet and earthy world was interrupted by a chorus of angels who led them to the place where the Christ child was born. Once this journey is made nothing is the same again

    Luke 2:8-20 That night, some shepherds were in the fields nearby watching their sheep. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them. The glory of the Lord was shining around them, and they became very frightened. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I am bringing you good news that will be a ...read more

    This beast, the false prophet will be actively busy in the work of Satan except he plays a different role, but in character he is one who is beastly, cruel, and hostile to the people of God, he is like a wolf, though dressed in sheep clothing.

    We’re here in chapter 13: of the Revelation and today we’ll talk about the false prophet Lord willing. Ø Listen as I read verses 11 11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

    When Jesus started His ministry He selected twelve team members as His first round of draft picks. The twelve disciples were an eclectic group. He had fishermen, farmers, a terrorist and a wolf in sheep's clothing.

    Barney Stinson searches for his dad on the Price is Right. Shrek the sheep searches for a hair cut. And the Good Shepherd Searches for us. A sermon on John 10:1-10 for Easter 4 ("Good Shepherd Sunday")

    It’s been - what? - a month of lockdown, and some of us, our hair is starting to get rather long.
