What Is Reverence?

Contributed by Anthony Smith on May 24, 2005

A new look at Matthew 6:9 thru 13. Many call Matthew 6:9-13, The Lords Prayer but it actually isn’t. Its the prayer that Jesus gave to us, so in essence its our prayer. What I want to do is break it down to make it more personal.

The Kind Of Person God Protects Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 17, 2021

Many of the promises of God's protection or provision in the Bible are actually conditional. They absolutely don't apply to anybody and everybody. Jesus shows us in John 6 exactly what kind of people can expect His protection and provision, and what kind of people can't.

Psalm 91 has always, from very early in my Christian life, been one of my favorite Psalms, because it speaks so beautifully and certainly of the Lord’s protection. I mean, just listen to it—it’s makes for beautiful poetry as well as for comforting thoughts—“He who dwells in the shelter of the ...read more

Divine Opportunities & Purpose

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Jan 27, 2017

God has a great plan for our lives which He wants to see fulfilled. He is watching to see that His Word concerning our lives is fulfilled (Jeremiah 1:12). The devil doesn’t want to see this plan actualized. The way he comes about this is to get us to mis

Introduction Our lives matter to God. There is a purpose behind your existence… Ephesians 2: 10 tells us that there are good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Delays

Contributed by Lane Hastie on Feb 4, 2019

There are countless verses about the benefits of “waiting on the Lord,” BUT…I’ve found quoting the verses to be a whole lot easier than the actual “waiting on the Lord.” Sometimes it seems like God is running late. What’s the deal? Why is He making us wait? Why is He allowing this delay?

I Am The Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jun 6, 2021

The amazing thing is that the more we eat the Bread of Life, the hungrier for him we become. Once we have started to experience Jesus’s grace and goodness, we actually want more of him! Your appetite for Christ won’t decrease the more you get to know him, but increase.

Say you’ve recently met someone new. Another worker was hired on, or you started at a new school, or you got a new client for your business. You get to know a person in a few ways. One is to watch what they do. How do they behave, and how do they treat other people? You get acquainted also by ...read more

Praise God When His Help Comes (Isaiah 44:24-28; 45:1-8] Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 6, 2024

God sometimes helps us through people we don't like, using means we don't like, to the point we doubt it's actually from God. See God's help, and thank him, regardless of how it comes.

There is a short list of people in the church who are responsible for proclaiming a message from God to his people. Apostles, teachers, prophets, and evangelists, basically. That's the list. Now, sometimes the specific word from God that needs to be communicated is controversial. If ...read more

Jesus-The Son Of David Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 19, 2009

If you look at it one way, Jesus came from a very dysfunctional family and a dysfunctional family line. If God has set about to save the world, shouldn’t He have made things a little better along the way? Actually, it’s really a cool part of God’s salvati

Matthew’s gospel was one of the first written in the decades after the resurrection (50 A.D.). At the time the many forms of Judaism were on the wane.

Mighty Hero

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 13, 2009

Maybe in your life right now, you are actually in a place that has nothing to do with what you’ve done but you’re in it. Or maybe you are in a situation that has everything to do with you. Maybe you’re in a place where you’re saying ‘I’ve had enough of t

Prayer has great power. If we come together in unity and purpose our prayers can be more effective. Let us look at 10 rules to apply to our prayer life. There is no magic about prayer. Often when all is said about prayer, more is said than actual prayers prayed?

Beatitudes: Semon On The Mount Series

Contributed by Byron Martin on Jun 12, 2017

Two truths that Jesus shared. 1. Do Good to Please God. ( Matthew 6: 1-4.) Give without letting others know. 2. Love Your Enemies. (Matthew 5: 38-42) Its actually a really hard thing what Jesus expects of us as Christians. It is hard to be a Christian.

There is a series of teaching that Jesus did while preaching to crowds in the countryside that begins in Matthew chapter 5 and goes to chapter 7. He was preaching on a wide range of subjects and had a way of opening up the scriptures for all to understand. But he also added to the scripture by ...read more

Playing Monopoly With God Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 4, 2015

Christ warned about the mindset of Monopoly, but all board games have some way to measure success: determining how you win or lose. How do measure success in how we live for Christ? How do we know whether we've actually stored up treasures in heaven?

Community

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 29, 2023

In this past week, did you? Did you share the Gospel with someone? What did you do that brought God glory? Church, when I ask you these questions each week, it is actually a self-evaluation for me. Some weeks I score touchdowns. Some weeks I fumble miserably!

Since we are hosting 5th Sunday tonight, I’ve been thinking about Community in the last 10 days or so. So, this week I’d like to examine: • The Purpose of community • The Importance of community • The Responsibility of community • And wrap it up tonight with: o The Inspiration of ...read more
