"Making The Right Choices"

Contributed by Dennis Deese on Aug 17, 2002

The choices we make can alter our life forever and set us on a course that may last a life time. Don’t misunderstand me! There are some small decisions that are very serious - usually the hasty decisions we make.

Dr. Dennis Deese “MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES” (The Leader’s Decision Making) 1 SAMUEL 26:1-25 After hearing the subtitle, most would equate this message as a message that applies to the leader’s choices on a corporate or group level. That is, the choices that are made that effect the group that ...read more

Revelation 22:6, "And he said to me, ’These words are faithful and true’; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must shortly (táchos) take place."

Observations Gleaned From Reading Partial Preterism After reading over some of the comments and teachings of the individuals that profess belief in a “partial preterism” theory I sense they have created a dilemma in their teachings. I see no other way around the fact that even though they claim ...read more

The Call To Intimacy

Contributed by Donna Kazenske on Sep 23, 2002

It seems that the Lord calls me to prayer at some of the most inconvenient times (my perception of the matter). However, I am quickly learning that His call to intimacy is what I need more than anything else on the face of this earth.

By: Donna J. Kazenske Have you felt the nudging and stirring of the Lord to pray more than usual lately? Have you heard the voice of the Holy Spirit calling you into a deeper relationship with Him?

Dealing With The Enemy! Part 2

Contributed by Ronald Crandall on Jan 7, 2003

I wound up preaching this in parts. The new believers in Christ often struggle with attacks from the enemy. I have found this message to be a reminder to me that no one is exempt from them but we do have authority over him.

Dealing with the enemy! Part 2 By: Pastor Ron Crandall Introduction: Two weeks ago on Sunday Night I started this message. We shared on how the enemy comes against the believers in Christ, how the enemy first strikes at the home and marriage. Then when he has destroyed the family unit he then ...read more

Real Presence Of Christ Series

Contributed by Charles Scott on Feb 14, 2003

The power of the Lord’s Last Supper is lost on many of us because we fail to understand Jesus’ use of the word Cup; this sermon reveals how the Disciples understood Jesus saying "This is my body" and "Drink this to commemorate me."

REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST AT EUCHARIST UNDERSTOOD AS OATH, SACRAMENTUM. It is impossible in a short space to convey all that should be said on this subject. It would be easy, for me to be misunderstood, because I can only express part of my understanding of this subject in a short space. So ...read more

The Book Of Acts, Part 6- Sharing All Things Series

Contributed by Mark Strauss on May 4, 2006

We live in a society that is obsessed with self-fulfillment and self-centeredness. •And Christians often share that obsession, buying into this “me first” attitude. •Yet when we examine the book of Acts, we see in the Church a community characterized b

Urgent

Contributed by Mike Gillett on Feb 28, 2007

Doing the tasks that really aren’t necessary rather then doing the important. The value of accountability, wisdom and counsel of godly leaders, such as, looking at a schedule and projecting how I will use the time God has given me for His glory.

URGENT John 11:9 I love to read and study, but sometimes I find myself doing the tasks that really aren’t necessary. Do we give up the important for the urgent? Are the urgent issues of life the important issues? Working with the elders has been excellent accountability as well as a way to gain ...read more
