     | 26,568 views

    God is making his final call to his people, "Repent and prepare to meet your God". Too many of God's people live in a false sense of security, believing in lying words. Let's make our salvation sure and fully commit to serving the Lord!

    God’s Final Call Sunday, November 07, 2010 – AM By Pastor James May Jeremiah was probably the most humble prophet of the Old Testament. His heart was broken because of the condition of Israel, and on more than one occasion he wept openly for his people. He was one of very few ...read more

    Jesus Never Tapped Out

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Nov 19, 2012
    based on 24 ratings
     | 44,482 views

    Jesus never tapped. When someone taps out, they are surrendering to their opponent. They are throwing in the towel, they are giving up, they are quitting the fight. They are saying you win, its over, I’m done, it’s finished.

    Jesus Never Tapped Out (Note to Pastor’s I started this message with a video made in house of a 5 year old doing mixed martial arts type fighting with his father, it ended with the child putting his father in an arm bar, and the dad tapping out. I used this to explain what tap out means in the ...read more

    Calling Series

    Contributed by Josh Foster on Feb 18, 2014
     | 7,393 views

    1) 'calling' is an invitation to follow; 2) calling is the adventure as following unfolds; 3) to respond to the calling in faith will involve some “leaving”; and 4) calling always originates with and centers upon Jesus.

    Just Words: Calling Scripture Text: John 1.43-50 INTRODUCTION Mindin’ his own business! He was minding his own business, …sitting under the shade tree, …doin’ his devotions. That’s-what Nathanael was doing just-before his friend, Philip, came and turned-his-world ...read more

    Signs And The Son

     | 7,692 views

    If we look for signs of Christ's return, we are liable to be deceived. We are to look for the Son and not for the signs.

    “[Jesus] said to [His disciples], ‘Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. But before all this they will lay their hands on you and ...read more

     | 802 views

    How do you explain that when people want to curse, they don’t say, “Muhammed,” but they swear by saying the words “Jesus Christ”? Why do Muslims, Sikhs, Mormons, Unitarians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Deists all find a way to incorporate Jesus into their religion?

    Have you heard someone say, “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if I were you?” There are a lot you cannot of people you cannot count on. But there’s one you can bet the farm on, and His name is Jesus. Find John 7 with me, if you will. Jesus finds Himself poked and prodded by the public in every ...read more

    The wickedness of society must lead to divine intervention. Let the people of God be righteous and godly.

    “The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
