    The Better Prophet Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 2, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,384 views

    The prophecy in Deuteronomy 18 pointed to Jesus being a prophet like unto Moses, but we don't often think of Jesus as being a prophet - let alone a better prophet than Moses. Why is Jesus, as a prophet, important to us?

     | 1,840 views

    Paul said the kingdom of God isn’t in word, but power. The Kingdom of God is where the Kingdom is being manifested in people’s lives that are being changed and brought into alignment with God. This Sunday we’ll look what this power is and isn’t.

    Growing In The Lord Committed To Serve

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023
     | 3,157 views

    We need to understand that when we are committed to serve we are put in the position of a servant. Some of us may find that hard to do or be, but if we want to grow in the Lord we have to be: 1) a servant, 2) committed to that service.

    Growing in the Lord Committed to Serve Deuteronomy 10:12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, We need to understand that when we are ...read more

    A Good Soldier Of Christ Jesus Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 27, 2015
     | 7,624 views

    Believers are urged to see their lives as dedicated to service to the Saviour rather than merely being lived for their own interests.

    “Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.” [1] Suffering well is a ministry in itself! Note that I did not say that suffering is a ministry. Few of us tolerate suffering ...read more

     | 15,967 views

    God is not fair in the way he deals with us. For that we can be thankful. Instead of being fair, he shows us mercy and grace.

    “The Unfairness of God” Psalm 103:8-10 June 20, 2004 When was the last time you felt like you were treated unfairly? When did you last think, “That’s not fair”? It doesn’t matter what it was about, it could have been anything. You just simply felt that whatever it was that happened, it wasn’t ...read more

    On the whole, our churches are not what they ought to be, as evidenced by the conditions brought forth in this message, which are actually indications of the need for revival.

    The Church’s Time Of Tragedy Text: Acts 20:28-32 Intro: As you listened to that title, you may have entertained the thought that the Church has always experienced tragedy of one form or another since its inception. If you did, you would be right. The Church of Jesus Christ has endured physical ...read more

    Jesus Call To Come And Become Series

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 12, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,629 views

    When Jesus calls us it is not a request, but a command. His universal authority over us is not optional, but the blessing of being in the kingdom is.

    Open by reading chapter one. (Or, if you are willing, memorize it and present it as if you are Mark telling about Jesus to the church. This is very effective. If you are not confident in your memory, use notes, but let me encourage you to tell the church what you are attempting and try ...read more

    Being able to convince someone of the validity of your experience in Christ is sometimes a challenge. (A challenge well worth taking of course)

    CONVINCE ME Are you a skeptic? Or have you ever tried to convince a skeptic into believinng anything? Sometimes it takes more than words or print matter. Sometimes it takes just simply living the Christian life in front of them. I want you to listen to this sermon that Paul preached and see if it ...read more

    This is the first of seven “I AM” statements Jesus spoke in the Gospel of John. Jesus was teaching that He is whatever we need Him to be.

    Be Quiet, Be Still And Behave

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Aug 14, 2006
    based on 88 ratings
     | 27,376 views

    Being quiet and still drives us nuts! But we are told in Scripture to seek God in the stillness -- not in the noise and busy-ness of life.

    If there is one thing that drives us almost insane, If there is one thing that we cannot stand, If there is one thing that makes us uncomfortable it’s... (The sermon begins with the pastor standing in the pulpit, and simply standing for a full minute, doing nothing but waiting, seeming to be ...read more

     | 6,784 views

    What did Jesus mean when He spoke of all things being possible in prayer if only we have faith?

    A CRY FROM OUR HEART: “Why wasn’t my prayer answered?” - Mark 9:17-18. - We look at our situation, whatever it may be, and wonder why our prayer wasn’t answered. - We really wanted that job, but we didn’t get it. - We really wanted to get pregnant this month, but it didn’t happen. - We really ...read more
