    Benjamin Franklin said, "He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything els." I think that God would agree. Because He says those who deny His existence are without excuse.

    The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. We need to know that even though we can’t physically see faith, we need to just believe. All things are possible to him who believes

    Seeing the invisible Tonight, I want to teach on the subject of faith. I know that we have heard this faith message many times, but tonight, I don’t want you to just listen to a message, but tonight, when you leave this building, I want you to start seeing things differently.

    When people emigrate to a new country, they leave everything familiar and start a new, different life. This is what Ruth experienced when she came with Naomi to Israel. But in doing so, there is much more she gained! As do believers when we trust in Christ, the topic of this sermon.

    For 1989, 70th anniversary of the church. Three Scriptures with the number "70" in them ... life includes pain and conflict; but we are to forgive without reservation; God knows the plans He has for the next 70 years of this church.

    We’ve reached a milestone, a real milestone. Seventy years old. That’s a good long while. That is, in fact, a lifetime, according to one of the Scriptures I’m going to read, the typical, average lifetime of a human being. And it’s not too bad for an institution like a church.

    Sometimes the things that have a hold on us aren’t so harmless. Sometimes we’re carrying things—wounds, habits, lies—that quietly shape our lives without us even realizing it.

    Sermon Title: “Spirit-Filled Freedom” Texts: Acts 2:1–4; Galatians 4:1–7 [5:16–26] INTRODUCTION: “What’s Got a Hold on You?” Let me ask you something this morning: What’s got a hold on you?

    All through the bible we read and understand that God called people, but He also assured them that He would be with them. Irrespective of what our issues or situations are, we can hold on knowing with the assurance that the loving Lord Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us.

    For today’s meditation we will read Joshua 1:5, “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.” (ESV) This were the words of God to Joshua as he assured him that He would be with him just as ...read more

    Able to Love 1 John 4:7-21 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the ...read more
