    worldly possessions can blind people of heaven and living a godly life

    Let us continue our worship of God by listening and learning from His Word. But let us never forget that we can be so smart and know the Bible but not actually live out, we would be just fooling ourselves and mocking God. James 1:22 tells us, “do not merely listen to the Word but live it out!” So, ...read more

    Accept no substitutes for a real relationship with the real God. Instead, embrace His passion for you, so you can experience His protection and enjoy His promises fulfilled for a thousand generations to come.

    David Hand, in his book The Improbability Principle, describes natives of the South West Pacific island, who had very little, if any, contact with the modern world and its many technological advances.

    If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you are automatically accepted in the family of God. The Lord never rejects what belongs to Him.

    You Are Accepted - Ephesians 1:6 Intro: …. The grace of God is not fully comprehensible to the natural mind. To the natural mind the story of grace is one that is just too hard to believe. This same mindset also keeps us from knowing that we have been accepted by God and His great love. ...read more

     | 3,096 views

    People can become so afraid of catching an illness that they will stay clear of anyone who is sick. Jesus challenged people to realize that caring for the spiritual needs of others far supersedes one’s desire for self-preservation

    I wish to begin our message today with two quotes by Mother Teresa. Here is the first quote: “The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.”(1) In her humanitarian efforts in Calcutta, Mother Teresa observed much rejection and hopeless, as ...read more

    This sermon teaches that we are made perfectly accepted in Christ for the ultimate purpose of bringing praise to the glory of God's grace.

    Introduction Every person has a deep, fundamental need for acceptance. We long to be valued, welcomed, and loved for who we are. We fear rejection, and so we often spend our lives trying to earn the approval of others. Paul now brings the glorious truths of our choosing (v. 4) and adoption (v. 5) ...read more

    The LORD accept thy burnt sacrifice. Psalm 20.3.

    A PRAYER FOR THE KING. Psalm 20:1-9. Jesus took with Him Peter, James and John and instructed them to ‘watch’ with Him (cf. Matthew 26:38), and to ‘watch and pray’ (cf. Matthew 26:41). I wonder what prayers they might have made on His behalf if their sleepy heads could have stayed awake long ...read more

    To become mothers of Christ, we must internalize and make Mary's prayer our own: "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word" (Luke 1:38).

    The spiritual motherhood of Christ is an exalted state attained by embracing a resounding "yes" to God, even in the face of seemingly impossible demands, echoing the divine calling that turned Mary into a virgin mother. To become mothers of Christ, we must internalize and make Mary's ...read more

    It’s become fashionable for churches to "target" a specific audience in their messages and ministry. But is that really such a good idea? Is it possible that in targeting specific groups we might be undermining our real ministry?

    OPEN: In my files I ran across these nuggets of wisdom from little children: Patrick, age 10 - "Never trust a dog to watch your food." Hannah, age 9 - "When your dad is mad and asks you, ’Do I look stupid?’ don’t answer." Taylia, age 11 - "When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush ...read more
