     | 5,976 views

    A review of why Jesus needed the Holy Spirit in His life and how the Holy Spirit operated in the life of Jesus.

    A week ago Thursday night when I got home from our summer Bible study, I had a small red itchy spot on my right arm. I figured that I must have gotten some kind of bug bite, so I put a little anti-itch cream on it and went to bed. By the next morning, it really didn’t look much different, but ...read more

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 30, 2023
     | 1,354 views

    Why is there such an interest in world peace? It is because of the atrocity of war and the devastation it brings. What is the answer? Is there one? Yes! There is an answer.

    Alba 5-28-2023 THE ANSWER TO WORLD PEACE Ephesians 4:17-32 This is Memorial Day weekend. Why do we call it “Memorial Day?”...

     | 7,864 views

    What does the journey of Lent mean to us, and why is Ash Wednesday such an important beginning point for us as Christians.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Remember thou art dust and to dust thou shalt return, turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ.

    Good Cheer For The Right Thing

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 26, 2025
     | 196 views

    When a paralytic’s friends brought him before Jesus, the savior’s first words to him were not “Rise and walk,” but “Be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you.” Today we look at why forgiveness is the greatest miracle of all.

    Good MORNING. Today, we saw one of the most fun miracles in the Gospels, one just about every Jesus movie likes to include, the healing of a paralyzed man who gets dramatically lowered by ropes into Peter’s house through his roof. For context, Jesus had just returned from Gadara, a Gentile town ...read more

    The Bride cannot understand why the Beloved considers her to be so special since she is a very common person.

    V.2:1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. He 2 As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women. She 3 As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 4 He ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,501 views

    A look at how we frequently judge the inward readiness by the outward appearance and why that doesn't work.

    HOW CAN YOU TELL WHO IS READY TO RECEIVE GOD? Outward appearance is a poor indicator of inward readiness. - Jonah 3:5-10. - Focusing on outward appearance hurts our witnessing because we don’t want to be mocked. - There are many who appear to be far away from God because they are in fact very ...read more

    Matthew 5:10-12-Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.

     | 6,309 views

    This message addressed a question asked by my Sermon Planning Group about how to understand and respond to memories of past sin once we come to live in the grip of grace

    "BIG IDEA":Paul’s heartfelt words in 2 Corinthians 7 help us avoid the destruction of haunting regret (in ourselves and others) by suggesting three differences between worldly sorrow and Godly Sorrow.

    The first thing God will ask us when we arrive home- Did you keep my commandments? In 1 Thessalonians 2: 19 it says there will be an award for such winners.

But have you wondered if we are really rich in the walk of our life and getting ready to go home as winners. Introduction: The Lord God wants ...read more
