    Easter 7: Here we find Jesus praying for his followers. He doesn’t ask for wealth or prestige or power for his followers. In this prayer, Jesus shows the extent of his love for his followers before He dies.

    This is Memorial Day weekend – a time to remember and honor military men and women who have given their lives in service to this country.

    "Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom

    In any journey, such as a trek through the bush, there are exciting parts, such as when we start out (perhaps) and when we near your destination, there are relatively boring parts, and there are patches that are just hard work.

    The second church Jesus instructed John to pen a letter was the church in Smyrna. It was situated within a city of great wealth and affluence, and yet many believers lived in poverty. They were not rich by the world's standards, but they were rich in grace.

    Smyrna: Riches within Poverty Revelation 2: 8-11 Today we come to Smyrna, the second church within the series of letters John was instructed to write in the Revelation. It is interesting to note, that of the seven churches, only two received all praise and encouragement from the Lord, with no ...read more

    God could have bypassed all protocols and land David in the Palace, but that would be suicidal for David. He had to learn the language of protocol and statecraft. He had to learn how to deal with pressures of success and pass - women, power, wealth.

    A Warning That Bears Repeating

     | 1,908 views

    As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

    Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

    Jesus wants you to use your final days and your money to win friends for your future: “And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings” (Luke 16:9).

    This morning I want to put a bow on our series, Margin, by examining Jesus’ words on the important subject of money. In week one, we learned the value of contentment. In week two, we learned the value of saving for a rainy day. Last week, we saw something of the joy of giving. Today, I want you to ...read more

    How To Prepare For A Spiritual Confrontation Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2025
     | 531 views

    How should a church or believers deal with gross sin which is found in their midst? Ingore it? Cover it up? Tell your friends? Gossip? Why not find out what God's Word says about the subject?

    One of the most important questions any Bible-believing church must ask itself is this: How will we respond when we find that gross, even unrepentant sin is present in our church body? Many of us who fashion ourselves as born-again Bible-believing Christians might respond something like this: ...read more

    Just because we are under grace and not the law does not mean that we should sin. Sin is something that traps, entices, and can control you; it is very hard to break away from. We should not seek to abuse God’s grace, but to live under His grace day in

    "Survivor Or Overcomer?"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 25, 2017

     | 13,345 views

    What does it really mean to be a survivor? In our world today we talk about all kinds of survivors.... abuse, cancer and the list goes on. It’s a great thing to be a survivor but-I want to do more than just survive, I want to overcome.

    Survivor or Overcomer? 1st John 5:1-6 Perhaps you’ve heard of the TV series called survivor. This program has aired 510 episodes and is now in its 34th season. When I read that this week my first thought was, that’s pretty remarkable because I’ve never seen a single episode. I don’t know about you ...read more

    Scars

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 5, 2018
     | 10,473 views

    Often our scars serve as mile-markers in our lives. Other scars are hidden from human view. Scars from verbal or physical abuse, divorce, traumatic losses, betrayals by those you loved. They don't escape the Master's gaze. He wants to heal them.

    SCARS INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In a lot of ways, adults are like kids; we make mistakes and sometimes get hurt. 2. A young boy, Jayden, came into the house covered with mud after finishing a rough day of play. "Mom," he shouted at the top of his voice, "if I fell out of a tree, would you ...read more

    Communion isn’t just a private moment; it’s a shared act that shapes the church. In 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 Paul corrects abuses and gives a pattern: remember Christ, proclaim His death until He comes, examine ourselves, and consider one another.

    Old Man Thanks God for a Solitary Lunch This week we’re in our second week of our communion series, and before I get into the sermon today, I just want to go ahead and encourage you to grab the elements if you haven’t yet.

    It may seem that the people who ruthlessly bully themselves into power and wealth have done something worthwhile. But God has determined long ago that He will reverse man’s outcome according to His plan. God has the last word.

    What Jesus wants is for us to center our lives around Him and heaven, because in Him is life and Security. To stir our thinking about this He will give us a lesson on wealth and materialism. Again the theme of the sermon on the mount is being distinctive,
