    The Futility Of Wealth Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 4, 2016
     | 9,690 views

    Materialism ensures that we can never fully enjoy the blessings of God

    “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or ...read more

    Contending For The Faith

    Contributed by Don Campbell on May 8, 2023
     | 1,191 views

    Jude exhorts us "to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." A falure to clearly identify "the faith" has resulted in the proliferation of denominations and sects because divisions arose of opinions on matters of expediency.

    CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH “Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude v.3) INTRODUCTION A. Many speakers and writers became fixated on ...read more

    Find Joy In Everything You Do

    Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 14, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,354 views

    It has been said that “Joy is the surest sign of the presence of God.” Or it has been said that “Joy is the flag that flies over the castle of our hearts announcing that the King is in residence today!”

    What is your greatest joy? Is there something that continually brings joy to you? Or, if you were to look back over your whole life to determine what brought you the greatest joy, what would it be? I believe that true joy only comes from our Creator. When our earth was formed, it was created to ...read more

    Paul's letter to the believers at Philippi urging them to stand for Christ in a crooked culture.

    Christ in a Crooked Culture Philippians 2:12-18 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. ...read more

    Peace With God & Peace From God

     | 2,482 views

    Anxiety seems to be a problem today for both the saved and the unsaved.

    While we can understand it might be a problem with the unsaved, we have a difficult time understanding why it is a problem with the saved. WHY IS ANXIETY SUCH A PROBLEM TODAY? Someone printed these words under a tranquil scene on a calendar: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about ...read more

    A Parable Of Chutzpah

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 3, 2015
     | 3,585 views

    We need to approach prayer with a sense of bold, unhesitating urgency--with chutzpah. We have no worries--unlike the grumpy, groggy neighbor, God never slumbers and is always happy to hear from us.

    Jesus gave His disciples the Model Prayer, and followed with a story about someone in need of “daily bread,” a parable that conveys the attitude our prayers should have—we should approach God an unhesitating sense of urgency. The story was a common situation for our Lord’s ...read more

    A message about God meeting our needs.

    An Oasis in a Parched Wilderness Psalm 23:2,3a We live in a day of uncertainties. Any hour can bring danger or disaster or distress.

    Do not crave for what you do not have (principle of contentment). Save faithfully and spend wisely (principle of prudence). Give generously and share your blessings (principle of giving).

    In the last session, we talked about money - the TRUST fund – what God has entrusted to us. Everything belongs to Him but He has given us money as a trust in this life. • We talked about the tithe – 10% of what we have. God wants us to RETURN to Him as a way of honouring His ownership over ...read more

    Many people boast about their wisdom, might, or riches, but Jeremiah shares in this message the only true reason to glory. If you want to glory in anything, glory in God and proclaim His power throughout the world.

    Jeremiah 9:23-24 Intro: Jeremiah was a young priest denouncing the practice of worshiping images. Jeremiah gave reason to worship the true God, His creative power and providential care. Although Jeremiah's message was strong and his faith deep in God, the people would reject his ...read more

    Judge Jesus Is At The Door 1) Be content 2) Be patient

    Last week we learned that our God is like the next door neighbor who loans you his lawn mower and gives you fresh snap peas from his garden. Whatever you need (though not whatever you want), he’s happy to give it to you. Just ask – even if it’s the middle of the night! But our ...read more

    Samson was a man who was gifted with supernatural strength but has not much with regards to his moral character. He was greatly empowered by God but he was not able to control his desires. We will learn several life lessons from this story.

    Samson was the strongest man alive, yet something went wrong along the way that has changed his life's direction. The four D's of Samson's downfall - His Desire, His Disrespect, His Disobedience and His Deception. First, he was overwhelmed by his desire for the woman. When he went to Timnah, he ...read more
