    Are you still with your glorious garment or have you been working without knowing that you lost your garment? The garment you are wearing, is it yours or another man's garment? God is merciful enough to recover you

    NAKED OR CLOTHED? MAIN TEXT: Zechariah 3:4 “And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him saying, Take away the filthy garment from him.

    A message from the poetic language of Job 14:7-9 where a tree that is to all appearances dead and without hope, comes back to life at the "scent of water." God wants us to be waterboys/girls.

    Persevering Through Trials Series

    Trials that test us will toughen our faith if we don’t allow temptations to trip us up. Trials from without and temptations from within are no match for the Christian who stands in truth from above.

    Persevering Through Trials February 2-3, 2019 James 1:1-18 Rev. Brian Bill A man who filed an insurance claim was asked for additional information from the company. Here’s his response.

    Happiness Through - Humility (Beatitudes) Series

     | 3,024 views

    In Jesus day, the Pharisee’s taught information without transformation, no authority. Jesus turns this upside down and speaks words that captivate the ears of the people, words that brings life. Today we will explore happiness through humility.

    Happiness In An Unsettling World Steele Creek Church, Eastfield Campus Dr. Tom Bartlett – September 6, 2020 Matthew 5:3 OUTLINE Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3 (ESV) For most, happiness comes from things, but could it be the source of ...read more

    The Power Of Prayer And Fasting

    Though scripture does not command fasting in prayer, it is back up in scripture that there are some things that cannot happen without fasting and prayer. "You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high"

    The power of prayer and fasting Isaiah 58:3-7 Introduction- This morning I want us to look at the power of prayer and effectiveness of adding Fasting to prayer. I believe most people do not understand the biblical concept of prayer and fasting. Most people either ignore fasting (It’s ...read more

    Gizmos, gadgets, trappings, add-ons, etc. are really optional, but so many of us have come to think that we cannot live without them. The problem is that it becomes like the proverbial "straw that broke the camels' back".

    Paraphernalia--furnishings and apparatuses, (add-ons) to enhance or give more options to a thing.

    Who Is Better?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 29, 2011
     | 6,304 views

    It is human nature to compare ourselves to one another. We do it all of the time very naturally and almost without noticing it. That's what was happening in Corinth and it was giving the Corinthians a false impression about who to trust.

    There is an old saying “appearances can be deceiving.” Or: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” In the case of the Corinthians, those sayings apply very well. They fell into a trap that many of us fall prey to, using human senses to judge spiritual realities. In this ...read more

    God wants His children to be holy and prepare for glory. Whatever anyone possesses, knows or experiences, whatever privileged position anyone holds or right being enjoyed on earth, without holiness, he has not got enough.

    This is the 16th sermon in a series we've been doing on John's Gospel account. In this sermon I discuss man's condition without Christ, and that Jesus is the only solution to that condition.

    Overcoming the Comfort of our Condition (Gospel of John Part 16) Text: John 5:1–15 When we started this series on the Gospel of John I mentioned to you all that John wrote this as an evangelistic work.

    As Jesus surveyed the multitude, He saw them as sheep without a shepherd. He saw their need and spoke many things to them. I am glad He is aware of our need and has compassion toward us.

    A Compassionate Lord Mark 6: 30-34 As we continue through the sixth chapter of Mark, I realized we have discussed much in varied settings within this chapter. Jesus dealt with rejection in His hometown of Nazareth, the disciples were sent out to minister in pairs of two, and we read of the ...read more

    Baptism Means Walking With God (January 9, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 11, 2022
     | 2,080 views

    Why did Jesus get Baptized if He was without sin? Jesus got baptized because He came to identify with the sinners He had come to save. In fact, it is through Baptism that sinners and the grace of God meet.

    BAPTISM MEANS WALKING WITH GOD Text: Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 Luke 3:15- 17, 21 - 22 As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah,  (16)  John answered all of them by saying, "I baptize you with ...read more

    The Only Way To Salvation Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 7, 2021
     | 2,386 views

    Paul urges the Jewish legalists to believe the Gospel, highlighting their errors in having a zeal for God but without knowledge of the truth, trusting in their own righteousness and making excuses not to trust Christ for righteousness. Salvation is available to all who believes.

    Paul discusses the problem of Jewish unbelief from Romans 9-11. • He started off in chapter 9 telling us of God’s sovereignty and His purpose in election. • God has not failed when He chose Israel to serve His purpose in salvation, even though many would reject Christ. He would save a ...read more

    2 John seems to have been written hurriedly to warn a woman of the danger of walking in love without also walking in truth and thus aiding and abetting those who taught error. This study looks at this little "postcard."
