    based on 1 rating
     | 1,402 views

    We all make mistakes, some bigger than others. But God has shown us what to do with them:

    I don’t know anyone anywhere who hasn’t done something they were sorry for afterwards. What’s the most recent one for you? Maybe it’s something you said - thoughtless or angry words. Maybe it’s something you did - or something you didn’t do. Perhaps it was something that you fight against and keep ...read more

    Throne Of Grace Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,066 views

    Jesus became the ‘Great High Priest’ who took on Himself the sins of the world by shedding His blood on the cross for each one of us. Since Jesus is the ‘Great High Priest’, He is now at the right hand of the Father in heaven, interceding on our behalf.

    We read in Hebrews 4:14, “Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God…Jesus, the Son of God.” (GNB) We live in a world where it is so easy for us to be ensnared and in bondage to various sinful habits. Outwardly we ...read more

    Message about winning the lost. The church should be prepared enough to be left and go out and get the lost.

    Title: Lost Sheep – Ministry Theme: To show the importance of moving out and doing ministry. Text: Luke 15 Offering Scripture: Proverbs 11:24-25 There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more, and there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want.

    The Word Cuts Both Ways: An Exposition Of Hebrews 4:11-16

    Jesus wants us to enter into His rest.

    The Word Cuts Both Ways Hebrews 4:11-16 The passage we are studying this morning is often cut out from the Book of Hebrews and preached by itself. This isn’t improper as it adds to our understanding of the power and discernment of the Word of God. We tend to equate “Word of God” with the Bible as ...read more

    God makes the humble great.

    The Eighth Son 1 Samuel 16:1-14 One of Ancient Israel’s greatest backslidings was when the people of Israel came to the Prophet Samuel and asked for a king “just like all the other nations” (1 Samuel 8:5).

    Living for Jesus means seeing him as clearly as possible and longing to be as much like him as possible.

    Peter was not big on writing letters. He certainly couldn’t hold a candle to Paul, whose pen never seemed to stop, sending letters all over Asia, explaining, encouraging, correcting. But of course being under house arrest made letter writing the best way to keep in touch with all the churches Paul ...read more

    Have you ever seen a zombie movie? I haven’t; I’m not into horror movies, I’ve never thought that fear was fun. But zombies are the monster du jour.

    You Can Get There From Here

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 9, 2025
     | 90 views

    Hezekiah’s revival shows that true renewal begins with repentance — a turning from sin and toward God that opens the floodgates of divine mercy.

    Sometimes revival comes in such gradual ways. Without even realizing when it all began, we find ourselves enjoying the spiritual blessings and joy that revival brings. Sometimes revival comes in response to conflict, or persecution, or maybe tragedy. Our complacency, our apathy, is shattered by ...read more

    28. Romans Chapter 6 Verses 19-23 - Messages In Romans – Dead To Sin; Slaves Of Righteousness. Sanctification, Eternal Life And Death – Message 28 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025
     | 612 views

    Chapter 6 ends the contrasts we had been looking at. We must not use our bodies for impurity but slaves for the Lord in righteousness. Paul ends with being freed from sin with sanctification leading to eternal life. BUT for the unsaved he states the wages of sin is death. A rich chapter indeed.
