    Don’t ask God to change the situation, ask God to give you the courage to make it through the situation AND ask for the Holy Spirit to work through you.

    I have a friend who started this church in the lower 48 that was so successful that they had a difficult time finding a place to meet for Sunday services. They had so many people showing up on Sunday they were literally standing in the parking lot waiting for a seat in the next service. The church ...read more

    Purpose is too fold 1) To help us communicate the reality of God to others “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gent

    This morning I’m going to begin a series entitled “Faith Has It’s Reasons.” Several months ago…a discussion with the staff encouraged me to do a series of Sunday morning messages addressing the common questions that are posed in regard to knowing God.

    Why The Signs? So They May Know He Is Saviour

    Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Nov 7, 2007

    A Lenten sermon that explores that God can use our situations so others may know He is the saviour.

    The Gospel reading from John 11, which we read this morning, is another sign that Jesus is the true Messiah. In the Gospel of John we have 7 of these signs: • Jesus changed water into wine (2:1-11) • Jesus healed the officials son (4:46-54) • Jesus healed the paralytic (5:1-9) • Jesus fed the 5000 ...read more

    The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the defining factor of the Christian life bringing us into full harmony with God.

    For the Christian, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important thing to celebrate. Christianity is the only “religion” that suffers abuse because of its holidays. Imagine if we would start making fun of the pagan holidays? Or what about other religion's holidays? What about ...read more

    A look at why God sends storms our way.

    WHY WOULD GOD DELIBERATELY SEND A "GREAT STORM" INTO YOUR LIFE? The two most likely reasons are pruning or discipline. - Jonah 1:4; John 15:1-8. WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF OUR DISOBEDIENCE? The two biggest are a bad witness for God and bad results for us. WHY WON'T GOD LET US WALK AWAY? Because ...read more

    Why Light Doesn’t Always Lead To Sight Series

    John doesn’t blink when he says the ultimate reason the Jewish people don’t believe is because of God. What you are seeing in Jesus’ ministry is the same that Isaiah saw in his ministry. God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.

    One of the biggest challenges for the early Christian leaders was how many Jews were rejecting Jesus. The first two things Jesus’ disciples say about him in the Gospel of John are “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). And, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, ...read more

    There are six reasons why you might be sick and five things that you ought to do about it!

    “Divine Healing” Introduction before the introduction (To my fellow Pastors) Some of the information in this message should be given to the credit of W. A. Criswell and his book entitled: "The Holy Spirit in Today’s World." I have simply shapened some of his thoughts and added a few of my own. ...read more

     | 2,623 views

    Why is it so important that we accept God's Word as written?

    God tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16-17… All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. The world always needs much good work. We Christians are honored, called, and ...read more

    Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 17, 2023
     | 2,594 views

    Is it true that the good die young? When the good person dies young, God has a better purpose for that person. The wicked do not realize that God may extend their lives on earth as a means for them to repent.

    When Bad Things Happen to Good People Isaiah 57:1-3 When I was young, I remember hearing a song by Billy Joel titled “Only the Good Die Young.” This song makes the statement that the Catholic girls “start much to late.” He is encouraging them to give up their virginity because “only the good die ...read more

    Why Are We Told To Grow Where We Are Planted?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 15, 2023
     | 1,114 views

    We are told that believers should be content where they are and abide with God. We are to Bud, Bloom, Blossom and be Blissful wherever we are. It takes time for us to get to where God wants us to be.

    If we are faithful in what God has called us to do, we will be brought up (budding). God has a plan, and He is preparing for us to bloom. God brings us through trials in order for us to blossom. We are to wait for Him while He prepares us to be in the condition that we are to be in. In this ...read more

    The 3rd commandment is one that requires us all to take a look at just how we use your tongue in daily living. And ask yourselves the questions, how are we using our tongue?

    God’s Last Name is not D*** Exodus 20:7 Introduction In the Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey, lives a certain variety of crane. These birds tend to make a lot of noise, especially while flying. And, all that noise gets the attention of eagles, which swoop down and seize them for a meal. The ...read more

    In this message we explore how that Satan is still using the question he asked Eve in the garden, to cast doubt on God's word and once we doubt, we are more easily deceived into sinful mistakes!

    Did God Really Say…? From the time we are old enough to communicate, we have questions. • I think every little kid goes through the, “but why?” phase. • Questions are a very important way of learning. • A good teacher will even ask questions to get students ...read more

    If Jesus was to appear before you, asking you what you want Him to do for you, what would you say? The message is intended to be a challenge for us to boldly ask the Master for that one thing that weighs our hearts.

    “As [Jesus and His disciples] went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him. And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, ‘Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!’ The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, ...read more
