Harnessing Your Passion

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 2, 2022

Some people misuse their passion in a way that is harmful to others and the kingdom. This sermon asks: “What is passion?” “Is anyone here passionate?” “Why should we harness passion?” and “What should we be passionate about?”

Be Reconciled To Your Brother Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Reconciliation begins with confrontation; being brave enough to approach someone to say, “Hey, we need to talk about something.” Rick Warren says that running from a problem and pretending it doesn’t exist is cowardice.

Probably the reason why is because reconciliation begins with confrontation; or rather, ...read more

How Is Your Hearing?

The Power Of Your Worship Series

Satan loves to make situations which require simple faith and obedience complicated and confusing in order to get us off track. Jehoshaphat was able to overcome doubt - and ultimately defeat - through worshiping the Lord.
