    Faith That Pleases God….. The parable six blind men and an elephant ◦They came up on a man riding an elephant. ◦They wanted to go back and tell the other villagers what an elephant looked like. ◦All the blind men touched and stroked the elephant. ◦They returned to ...read more

    Jesus speaks His authoritative Word & the strife and rage of demonic possession flees & leaves a great calm in its place. Jesus exercised authority & compassion that freed people even from demon possession.

    MATTHEW 8:28-34 [THE MESSIAH REVEALED SERIES] PRINCE OF PEACE OVER THE SPIRIT WORLD [Revelation 18:1-8] Previously Jesus has demonstrated His power and authority over diseases and nature.

    All Things

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 14, 2010
     | 5,036 views

    Final message on the church's vision statement. Christ's lordship over all things means that there is nothing worthy that we can leave out of our work, but it will succeed if we are focused on Him and not on our own success.

    At the very center of the Christian faith there is Christ. That sounds self-evident: it seems obvious. But we keep forgetting it. We keep on trying to live without a center. Think about a wheel which has no hub; if you try to roll that wheel, its spokes will collapse. And no church will hold its ...read more

    A Much Needed Source Of Power

    based on 68 ratings
     | 20,012 views

    Too many Christians are working without a Source of power in their lives and they are virtually useless because they don’t have the spiritual power necessary to do the work of God.

    A Much Needed Source of Power John 20:19-31 04/23/06 I bought my vehicle in May of 2002, brand spanking new, and drove it proudly off the lot. As of today, that car has carried me 197,600 miles on the highways and byways of my life. I wonder how many gallons of gas I’ve used and how much money ...read more

    Christ’s resurrection is with us every day of the week in all that we do -- if we can take the step of faith to leave our safe secure setting like the women did and venture to the tomb.

    Easter Sunday - April 15, 2001 "Christ Is Risen!" SERMON TEXT (Luke 24 NRSV) But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. {2} They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, {3} but when they went in, they did not find the body. ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,051 views

    A sermon looking at the topic of having the courage to leave the wilderness and move into the promises of God. This message looks at the areas of compromise, contentment, and God's purpose verses His promise, and stepping out by faith and risking it all.

    Desiring the Wilderness Joshua 1:10-18 This week I was looking at the topic of courage and I read God’s word to Joshua as the Israelites were preparing to cross over the Jordan River to enter and possess the Promised Land. When I think about this I see our own journey of faith, our journey to ...read more

    For righteousness sake, the righteous dwell in Christ Jesus for truly living in the world is not without sinners and the sinful nature of the flesh---those who commit to holiness in the midst of death.

    RIGHTEOUS by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (April 13, 2016) “By faith Noah being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith” ...read more

    What I hope is that all of us will get from this series of sermons is a new awareness and appreciation for the Lord’s Prayer. I hope it just won’t be a recitation of a bunch of words.

    True Christian living finds its meaning and endurance in love; without love, our actions and gifts are empty, but with it, everything gains lasting value.

    Good morning, friends. If you came in today weary, worried, or worn thin, you’re not alone. Some of us have been carrying more than we care to admit—unanswered questions, unspoken hurts, unfinished to-do lists. We try harder, run faster, give more, and still wonder: Why do I feel empty? Why does my ...read more

    You are suppose to win in life, but You can’t expect to win without a fight. There are enemies to your destiny, so you must get in the press.

    Mr 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. Php 3:13-14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the ...read more

    This morning I want to begin by giving you my thesis: A mother can make a significant spiritual impact on her children with or without the help of a father.

    Mothers Who Love On this day that we honor mothers, its good for us to think about how much you really do. Being a mother is not a walk in the park… By the time a child reaches 18, a mother has had to handle some extra 18,000 hours of child-generated work. In fact, women who never have children ...read more

    The Lord responds to those who cry out to him for help. We must admit God is our only source of help; without it we are sunk.

    INTRODUCTION This is the fourth message in the series “No, that’s NOT in the Bible!” We’re examining ten popular statements people think are in the Bible, but they aren’t found in scripture. There are millions of Bibles in America, yet there is an alarming level of biblical ignorance. George Barna ...read more

    Faith without risk is a contradiction - This is part 2 of a 3 part series on faith using the backdrop of Abraham and Isaac to communicate trust, risk, and belief in matters of faith.

    Baby Steps Part 2 RISK Last week we began a journey of baby steps… taking one step at a time to find true faith. What is faith? Hebrews 11:1-3 1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand ...read more

    Isaiah saw the coming of the great Babylonian armies and knew that they would destroy Jerusalem, take his people captive, and leave the nation in ruin. But in the midst of all this confusion and discouragement, Isaiah received a message from God.

    STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING Scripture: Isaiah 40: 27-31 KJV v. 27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passes over from my God? v. 28 Hast thou not know? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator ...read more
