    So many people today are afraid to take chances because of their fear of failure. All successful people have been failures in their life at one time or another. In order to succeed, we will fail. Success is not measured by our failures, rather what we

    I love our country as much as anyone but, I’m afraid we are heading in the direction of Gods judgment upon us real quick. The majority of the people are looking to our government for protection and the most are putting their trust in it instead of God

    1 Peter 2:3-5 Gods protection, help through persecution and the future for His own (Sermon) Oct 2014 Illus:A young boy went to a grocery store and asked the grocer for a box of Duz detergent.

    What does it mean to live 'not of this world' whilst living in the midst of so much pain. This sermon challenges us to think about the importance of our relationship with God, and to ask the difficult questions that at times we are too afraid to ask.

    The Women Who Were Following And Caring. Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 11, 2020
     | 4,829 views

    There is a group of women who are witnesses to the death, burial and empty tomb. They have also faithfully followed and cared for Jesus. Yet they have a moment when they are silent and afraid. The “silent witness" of these Women is for us to think about how these moments define us.

    Message Silent Witnesses Mark 15:40-16:8 The Women Who Were Following and Caring. It’s Friday and Jesus is dead. Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. Then what happens? Let’s read Mark 15:40-16:8 ...read more

     | 9,961 views

    Peace with yourself, peace with neighbors and peace with the world is what we need to live as Christians. We fail to grow when we live our lives for others and become afraid of losing the affection and approval of those we think are important in our lives

    Imagine a Church with some problems, where some people are fighting to become leaders. Yet, despite their own problems, when they heard that the individual who helped to establish the church was in need, they all come together, contributed money to send to help the individual.

    Jesus Calms The Storm Series

     | 4,360 views

    We are to walk by faith not sight. Of course you can’t see the outcome of your storm. That would be sight. Why are you so afraid? You have been with Jesus for so long. Do you still have so little faith?

    Are you going through one of life's storms? You need to know if anyone cares. Does Jesus care what happens? If you have visited Israel then no doubt one of your fondest memories of the trip is the Sea of Galilee. This area has so much natural beauty with the fresh water lake surrounded by ...read more

    Christians will pray for those who are lost in sin, but they usually do nothing more than pray. They are either afraid, or they don’t want to make an effort. Jesus had those who prayed unto Him take an active role in assisting Lazarus.

    In Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus gave His disciples and all believers the Great Commission, in which He said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you.” The ...read more

    Proclaiming The Gospel Today

     | 627 views

    Why are Christians afraid to talk about their blessings from Jesus Christ? Peter did in this narrative. BUT when he received the Holy Spirit he went out and proclaimed the Gospel. We have the Holy Spirit and should do the same as he did.

    To Die Is Gain

    Many people are afraid to die, but Paul said he strongly desired to depart, because he knew it was far better, and would be a gain for him. Relationship with Christ and faith in the Word of God should give us confidence to face death. To die is Gain!

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 11, 2025
     | 267 views

    What was the large letter formation Paul used? Why did he use that? DO NOT compromise the faith or deny the faith because you are afraid of persecution. In Galatia they were abandoning the faith to avoid trouble. Very special note for younger Christians.

    28 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:11-13 - Message 28 – PAUL EXTENDS HIMSELF TO THE LIMITS AND ANOTHER EXPOSE´ OF THOSE WHO WERE FALSE As we near the end of this heartfelt letter to the Galatian churches, Paul touches on a personal matter that raises much speculation, and he delivers ...read more

    What should I do when I’m afraid? 1. Cast your cares upon God. 2. Take refuge in Him. 3. Replace anxiety with thoughts of God. 4. Keep on eye on eternity. 5. Listen to God’s Word.

    MAIN IDEA: God’s word provides hope for those who are fearful. OBJECTIVES: The listener will be encouraged by God’s Word and leave having been given hope for times of fear.

    So what do you think of Jesus? You've heard about Him from the culture and even from the church but is that really Jesus? Some people are afraid of sharing their faith knowing the possible rejection they'll receive - so is it worth it?

    Isn’t it great to go home? You get to see family and old friends—visit old haunts and places you played as a child. Well, not everyone likes going home. For some, memories of the past are bleak and painful. For others, it isn’t the past only but the present which brings pain and ...read more

    Is The World Out Of Control?

    Contributed by Don Hawks on Aug 10, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,286 views

    I need not be afraid though all hell should break loose. Why? Because “God’s Spirit doesn’t make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7, CEV).

    In today’s gospel reading Jesus says to a frightened group of friends: “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid." It’s from the story of Jesus walking on water. Some people have interpreted the story as giving us a lesson about needing to take risks in life. One preacher made that the topic of his ...read more
