    Trust

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Mar 19, 2006
    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,279 views

    Trust something we give sometimes without thinking. Do we really trust God? How is our trust destroyed? Christians trust as a sign of faith.

    Trust Proverbs 3:5-7 Perhaps you have not caught on to what God has had me doing in the past few weeks. Two weeks ago we had a message on Authority where we were reminded about the authority of every Christian. We discussed teachers, the president, and police as sources of authority. We ...read more

    Just as there is a due date for a pregnant woman to give birth, there is a set time for your promise, but don’t expect to give birth without any pain.

    Our text tells us of a famine condition that existed, and in the midst of a famine condition the man of God speaks a word of promise that has attached to it a (set time). (Tomorrow about this time) I want to start this message by saying to you, that for every promise, for every prophecy, and for ...read more

    Troubler Of Israel

    First-person monologue, as Elijah: the voice of God is not in the winds of popularity, nor the earthquake of instability, nor the fires of self-destruction. It is in the One in whom God has spoken and who will never leave us.

    I’m so lonely. So desperately lonely. It’s been so long since l’ve seen a friendly face. So lonely. So completely alone. I feel … deserted. No one even cares whether I am alive or dead. After all I’ve done for them, would you not think that somewhere in Israel there would be a good word for ...read more

    John 5: The Divinity Of Christ

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Apr 24, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,513 views

    A large share of the population, and even of Christians, believe that Jesus was not God incarnate, but a mere man. In John 5, Jesus answers those accusing Him of blasphemy with a claim of divinity that leaves no room for that belief.

    I) The divinity of Jesus is a fundamental and essential tenet of Christianity. It is also one of the most difficult aspects of Christianity for the world to accept. A) A survey conducted in 2020 by Ligonier Ministries found that 52 percent of U.S. adults believe that Jesus is not God. Not only ...read more

     | 5,166 views

    In the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats we learn that since Jesus will return without warning to judge our service one is to live every moment considering the eternity God constantly and joyfully has placed within our hearts.

    Being Ready by Helping Others Matthew 25:31-46 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 To hear that we “will one day see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven” (26:64) provokes mixed emotions.

    Mourning To Morning: Yes—it’s Ok

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025
     | 344 views

    Life leaves us with memories—some warm us, and some wound us. If we spend our time looking back, we risk missing the new thing God is doing right in us.

    — THE PROBLEM: WHY WE KEEP LOOKING BACK Life leaves us with memories. Some of them warm us. Some of them wound us. And some of them quietly shape us long after the moment has passed. Most of us don’t notice how much time we spend replaying our lives. We replay conversations we wish had gone ...read more

    The Pattern Of Freedom Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 23, 2022

    This sermon focuses on the idea that in the United States (i.e., the land of the free) it is impossible to truly be free without the freedom that is granted us by Jesus Christ.

    If you have your Bibles and you want to follow along, today’s passage comes out of the book of John, chapter 8, starting at verse 31. We will get to it eventually, I promise. But we are going to start off with a little bit of an introduction. As most of you know if you have been here a while, ...read more

    Sensing God - Taste Series

     | 19,805 views

    This sermon continues the series on using all our senses to experience and live in relationship with God. The focus here is for us to taste that God is good, and for us to leave a good taste in the lives of not-yet-believers.

    Taste is a very powerful sense. The power of taste is something that I am very familiar with because we grew up in a Dutch-background household which meant we had salted liquorice in our house. For those of you who are familiar with liquorice … well you know you are experiencing something like ...read more

    Who is willing to carry the Light….. who is willing to leave it all behind to become the keeper of the flame? This is where we can say that people were willing to release themselves to the Spirit of God and stoke the fire.

    God's grace as the avenue of salvation is sometimes seen as being in conflict with obedience of the believer as a requirement, without which salvation cannot be obtained. Which is it, or is it a combination? Can this dichotomy be satisfactorily resolved?

    Fill Your Horn With Oil & Go!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 3, 2018
     | 21,270 views

    The oil is often the missing ingredient in spiritual ministry. We can’t be on the cutting edge of the Spirit without filling our horns with oil. The oil is symbolic of the anointing, unction, power, presence of the Spirit.
