    God’s promise is ours for the taking if we will surrender our lives to Him.

    The Promise Acts 26:1 - 32 Intro: Early in life we find out what a promise is. It is not uncommon for kids to make promises to their parents. “I promise I’ll be good. But please don’t spank me!” Or kids make promises to each other and also find out what it means when someone crosses their ...read more

    Through Paul’s defense before Agrippa we learn what it means to be a Christian.

    They come in many kinds: slip-joint, diagonal, needle-nose, parrot-nose, midget… Do you have any idea what I’m talking about? Pliers. If you were here last week for the Easter sermon, you know that I’m pretty clueless when it comes to pliers. I used one for an object lesson but had to stop and ask ...read more

    The Resurrection proves that there is an Life After Death.

    Katie and I had arrived in Oklahoma and were getting about the task of settling in. We were living in a cramped two room apartment and desperately looking for a house to buy, we were looking to purchase our first house ever.

    It is NOT intellectually dishonest to believe in the resurrection of the dead. Life is not about how much good we ultimately do, instead it is about a relationship with Jesus.

    If any of you have ever owned an electric lawn mower, you know that electric lawn mowers tend to not be very powerful. Electric lawn mowers, as a whole, are underpowered garden tools.

    Do You Have 20/20 Vision?

    Contributed by Chad Taylor on Jan 7, 2014
     | 8,073 views

    Every year we struggle with New Year's Resolutions or goals set that we fail to reach. The church is no different. Does the church have a clear vision for Jesus and the authority of His word? Its time to separate the garbage from the truth in our walk!

    Introduction On September 27, 1991, as was his custom, Gerald Sittser, a professor of religion and philosophy at Whitworth College, prayed, asking God to protect and bless his family. Something went terribly wrong. Later that afternoon, returning from a family outing, a drunk driver lost control ...read more

    A God Given Purpose

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,957 views

    Be assured, God has a purpose for His people. Idleness is never an option.

    Certainly one of the most frequent question I deal with as a Pastor, is the question of "What is my purpose?" It is the purposeless life that finds itself in discontent, discouragment, depression, and is a leading factor of suicide. No purpose. Useless. Yes, those are extremes. But, do not ...read more

    What is the craziest thing you've ever done? If you reject Christ's gift of salvation THAT is the craziest thing you'll ever do.

    Acts 26:19-25 What’s the CRAZIEST thing you’ve ever done? Ask yourself this. What is it you’ve done that people would say, “You’re crazy man” or “You’re crazy lady.” Don’t worry, I’m not ...read more

     | 4,817 views

    The creation story is one of the most awesome story that we can study. In the business of our lives it is possible that we miss the presence of such an awesome God in our lives. Let us prepare ourselves for an awesome encounter with God.

    First of all, Let me wish you all a very happy and blessed new year ahead. Well: Here we are. Yet another New year, yet another opportunity to look at the blessings of the previous year and give thanks.

     | 4,374 views

    It is certainly possible for us to miss the presence of God wherever we are, and be immersed in many other activities. How about being focused on seeking an encounter with God?

    Good evening. I realise that there are three categories of people here. First category are the new students who are eager to know what lies ahead of them.

    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Feb 26, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,147 views

    What happens when we seek the Lord? How do we react when we actually find him and have the encounter with the awesome God? We are called to obedience once we have the encounter with God. How often do we do this Seek, Find and Obey?

    Good morning. This morning, let us start with a basic question. Why do we come to church? Our church is a small congregation, and hence the number of responses we can get here might be limited. But if you do a poll in a large church, there are many common answers to this question. Some of us come ...read more

    He explains why he was particularly pleased to be able to state his case to King Agrippa. Of all the high officials residing in the country, nobody knew better than the king the history, principals, and passions that motivated the Jewish people.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,112 views

    Our perspective on life's difficult events - seeing a positive meaning and purpose in them - can determine whether we view God and life positively. It is our choice whether we are positive or negative. Paul chose to be positive.

    I THINK MYSELF HAPPY Acts 26:2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A lady from the big city of Philadelphia came to Texas. She wanted to go on a horseback ride in the Guadalupe Mountains.

    Although under house arrest, Paul continued to proclaim the Gospel. He refused to remain silent about the grace he had received. We need to share the desire and commitment of Paul to proclaim the Gospel.

    A Witness to the Faith Acts 26: 19-23; 27-29 This was a stressful and frustrating time for Paul. At this time he had been under house arrest for more than two years. He was accused and arrested in Jerusalem by the influence of the Jewish Sanhedrin. Following an appeal to Caesar, he was brought to ...read more

    GOD WANTS TO TEACH US TO LIVE BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT. You can not always see, feel or reason what God is doing. We must learn to see beyond the visual fields of this world. Thomas said: I WILL BELIEVE WHEN I SEE. This is not faith.
