    What is the harvest you are waiting for? What is the Harvest that you want to celebrate?

    Why do Christians celebrate Harvest? The simple answer is, it is an opportunity for us to thank God for everything He has blessed us with. In Old Testament times there were three major festivals where the Jewish people took the opportunity to thank God for blessing them. The first festival was ...read more

    Church Laziness While Waiting For God

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 1, 2022
     | 1,844 views

    What is Laziness? It is being unwilling to work or being idle. Here is where Paul admonishes the church against laziness.

    There were a few people falsely teaching the Thessalonian church that being as Christ was returning soon, people should stop working, lay aside any responsibilities, quit planning for the future, and just sit back and wait. Be that as it may, their absence of action just drove them into ...read more

    Those Who Wait Upon The Lord

    So many Christians today miss blessing after blessing because they do not wait upon the Lord. There is a timing in God that we must learn to flow in.

    INTRODUCTION - Jas 1:3 - patience is a product of faith - Gal 5:22 - patience is a fruit of the Spirit - The Bible teaches that we should be patient with one another - But there is a different kind of patience - "waiting on the Lord" - We are conditioned by the world to "get it now" - The church ...read more

    THE TEXT BEFORE US IS CENTERED AROUND TRIBE OF JUDAH WHO ARE IN BABLONIOAN CAPITITY FACING A LONG DIFFICULT JOURNEY AND INSTEAD OF PRAISING GOD THEY WE`RE COMPLAINING TO GOD

    Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV) Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

    Be Patient With God Series

    Be patient with God. Don't take matters into your own hands. Give God time. Focus on the Person of God, and not the promises.

    Let me ask you this: Do you know how long it takes to hatch an egg? 21 days. • Is there a way for us to shorten the days? Can we do something to speed it up? • I’m afraid not. Speed up the process and we would spoil what God is doing. Most of us have a problem waiting for God ...read more

    The worldly way of getting the steam out of you and giving a ‘piece of your mind’ to the person who has hurt you will not reap the right results.

    Patience…….Day 20 James 1:3,4 “…knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”(Memorize) Even after many years in the ministry, I still learn lessons the hard ...read more

    See Jesus Defeat The Devil

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 7, 2022
     | 2,187 views

    Because Christ fought the battle against Satan as one of us, he won that battle for all of us. Jesus is our perfect substitute. Even as the devil rages against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion, Jesus, has already won the victory over him.

    David versus Goliath. Thousands of years after their brief battle it is still used to describe conflicts. You have probably heard the comparison several times in recent days following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Clearly Russia is Goliath and Ukraine David. But don’t we also regularly hear the ...read more

    A Broken Man Before The Boundless Gospel

     | 427 views

    Locked doors and crowded rooms can stop most people, but real faith finds a way. In Mark 2:1–12 four friends tear through a roof to place a paralytic before Jesus—He forgives first, then heals—showing His authority and calling us to carry others to Him.

    A little while ago I was installing a keypad lock on the door to my upstairs studio—just trying to add an extra layer of security for my equipment, cameras, computers, all that production stuff. So I set the keypad lock up, got the old handle out of the door, got the batteries in, set the code, all ...read more

    I want to preach on something today that is a major problem in this country. I am talking about BOREDOM!!!

    Now some will tell you they never get bored with life, but those same people will also tell you they like to take cold showers in the winter. Boredom can be a serious problem, even for Christians. Let’s look at two things that will help us with this problem. First, we need to look at - I. THE ...read more

    “He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people” Hebrews 9:26-2

    Theme: Watch and pray while you wait for the Lord Text: 1 Kings 17:8-16; Heb. 9:24-28; Mark 12:38-44 “Who can I trust?” is a question that is often asked by all of us.
