    Contributed by John White on May 11, 2017
     | 9,109 views

    The Word of God is absolutely unique. In the history and literature of man there is no other book or writing that even begins to compare with the influence, persuasion, and power of the Word of God.

    What The Word Of God Is Good For (II Timothy 3:16-17) The Word of God is absolutely unique. In the history and literature of man there is no other book or writing that even begins to compare with the influence, persuasion, and power of the Word of God.

     | 17,751 views

    Series of marriage.

    Celebrating Marriage #101 -- Pt 2 Introduction: The word courtship sounds pretty archaic by today's standards in a world filled with language like "one night stand" or "hooking up" and the very notion that "waiting until marriage" is the best option is laughed at in our culture. I'm going to tell ...read more

    Divine Opportunities & Purpose

    based on 2 ratings
     | 28,210 views

    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. Those good works are God’s plan and purpose for our lives; what He created us to do. God doesn’t wait for you to be an ...read more

    Implications of the Millennial Kingdom and the New Jerusalem.

    Back at the first of the year, we started our journey through the book of Joel. Week after week since then, we’ve talked about the nearness of the Day of the Lord. We’ve seen that the Day of the Lord will be a time when the cup of God’s wrath is finally filled. His patience and ...read more

    To stand strong in the face of adversity, depend on one another, depend on the Lord, and demonstrate love for others.

    In her book God Uses Cracked Pots, Patsy Clairmont describes the day she sent her 7-year old son, Jason, to school. A little while later there was a knock on the door. Patsy opened the door and it was Jason. She said, “Jason, what are you doing here?” He replied, “I’ve quit school!” She asked, ...read more

    Overcoming Fear

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 20, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,982 views

    The pandemic has caused us to be fearful of some things. We may be fearful of catching the virus, whether or not my business will stay afloat, etc. This week our church was broken into; that was a scary situation. So what can help us overcome our fears?

    OVERCOMING FEAR It’s been said that everybody is afraid of something; whether it be heights, spiders, the dark or something else. If you Google phobias you’ll see that people can be afraid of just about anything. Having a fear or phobia is debilitating. You have TV shows like Fear Factor, where ...read more

     | 5,299 views

    A popular song once said its changes in latitudes that result in changes in attitudes. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus showed his disciples exactly what that means.

    Good morning! Please open your Bibles to John 13, as we continue our series called SHIFT. We are talking this month about areas in our personal lives as well as the life of our church where we might need to experience some shifts. Last week we talked about the need for our church to shift out of ...read more

    "from Every Nation"- The Bible And Race- Pt.3 Series

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Oct 25, 2020
     | 2,310 views

    Today, as I close out this series, I want us to consider the question: “So with the abundance of such teaching in the Scriptures denouncing racism, why has racism been such a problem for so long?”

    Over the past two weeks we have looked at the Bible and what it teaches about race and race relations. We have seen how everyone bears the image of God and should be respected as an image bearer. We have seen how we are all descendants of Adam and Eve and therefore we are all “family” being part of ...read more

    The Stages Of Discipleship Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 26, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,963 views

    It is God's will for people to progress through the stages of discipleship from being spiritually dead, to being a spiritual infant, child, young adult, and parent. We must be able to assess where we are and where others are in the process so we all can grow to maturity.

    A. I like the story told of the little boy who was confused about something and said to his Bible class teacher: “There’s somethin’ I can’t figger out.” 1. The teacher said, “What is it, Joey?” 2. Joey said, “Well accordin’ to the Bible, the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, right?” a. “ ...read more

    The Pathway To A Greater Anointing Of God’s Power Is Death To Self

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 29, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,747 views

    The path to supernatural power goes through the Cross

    Death is inevitable for all life on earth. The Bible speaks of death as both physical and spiritual. The first recorded physical death of a human was Abel, who was murdered by his brother Cain (Genesis 4:8). However, death itself, in both the physical and spiritual sense, is first mentioned ...read more

    I'm Confident Of That (Part Two)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 9, 2020
     | 3,592 views

    Last week I talked about the need to place our confidence in God and that we need to have a heart of confidence. This week I make the point that although we can't place our ultimate confidence in people, we can still have confidence in them. I finish with our need to persevere in confidence.

    I'M CONFIDENT OF THAT (part two) Last week I started out by asking what are you basing your confidence in. We read the story of Sennacherib king of Assyria attacking Hezekiah king of Judah. Sennacherib was certain he would defeat the smaller army of Judah. He taunted them saying their god ...read more
