    Don't let "Grinchitis" Pandemic hit your church congregation. Make Whoville - Hisville. The Grinch of sin cannot win - don't give the Grinch a room within

    He came in the dark And slithered like a snake Stole all the presents Even the star he did take The candy canes were stolen From kids sleeping in bed He stink, stank, and stunk, Took all and fled on his sled But when he stopped to hear The cries of boo hoo The Spirit of Christmas Came through ...read more

    We look at the seeds of faith. Seems today we have faith in everything but God. We trust the elevator? The bank? The batteries? Why not have FAITH IN GOD? The measure of faith vs the gift of faith?

    WILL JESUS FIND FAITH? IT IS UP TO YOU? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I have small medicine baggies. You can find them at Walmart or Hobby Lobby.

    Are You A Legalist? Or An Illegalist?

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013
     | 3,046 views

    Are you a legalist, or are you an illegalist? In other words, do you follow the law of God, or do you disobey the law of God? It is not a bad thing to be labeled a legalist. Satan has used this creative title to try to deceive many people to disobey God.

    Matthew 7:13-27 Who in this room would consider themselves a legalist? This is the topic that I would like to briefly talk to you about tonight: Legalism, or “The Lie of Legalism.” Since the beginning of the Lord’s church, the devil has held nothing back; He has created so many ...read more

    Ephesus: Labor Without Love

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 5, 2020
     | 6,589 views

    Jesus commended the church in Ephesus for their commitment in the midst of opposition, but unfortunately, He had to address their lack of passion for Him. They were a busy church, but they had lost their zeal for the Lord.

    Ephesus: Labor without Love Revelation 2: 1-7 Today I want to begin a series in which we will examine the letters to seven individual churches that Jesus gave to John in the Revelation. As we move through these letters in the coming weeks, bear in mind, these were written to literal, active ...read more

    We live in a world that is looking for total and lasting satisfaction in life, yet it seems nowhere to be found. Ever feel that way? Restless, not content, needing a change or wanting to try something different?

    Amazing Grace

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Apr 22, 2023
     | 1,487 views

    Are you flawless, without blemish, perfect in every way? If we will admit it, none of us are. God wants those without blemish. If we are not, how does God accept us who are flawed? It is by His plan through His only son, Jesus Christ, by whom we can obtain Amazing Grace and be seen without blemish.

    When I was dating, and I'm sure for you as with me, my significant other thought I was perfect. Is that the way it was for you? Notice my wife shaking her head. The truth, she did; but she will no longer admit it. I knew she was not perfect. I told her so on many occasions. It was something ...read more

    It was only after the resurrection that Peter understood the cross and what that it because there is no crown without a cross!

    Delivered on 6 May 2023 at Tree of Life Messianic Congregation in Katy Texas. The instructions given to Moses in the Law had much more stringent requirements for the priests than for all others. Seems like discrimination.

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 7, 2022

    Moses objects because he believes that the people would not ACCEPT his word unless he showed them some sign. God gives him the power to work miracles.

    Ex 4:1-5. Moses's rod is turned into a serpent. Ex 4:6-9. His hand is leprous. Ex 4:10-12. He is loath to be sent. Ex 4:13-17. Aaron is appointed to assist him. Ex 4:18-20.

    How are we to live our daily lives? What is the impact of a relationship with Christ in the life of a believer? How does the Lord provide wisdom and guidance for the daily struggles believers’ face? How do believers overcome the adversities of life and attacks of the enemy?

    The Believer’s Walk Ephesians 4: 1-6 As we come to the fourth chapter of Ephesians, it is evident that Paul has shifted his focus and is now ready to offer beneficial application for the reader.
