    Courageous

    Just like the runners in the Boston marathon, Christians should expect that there will be, at some point, opposition that will test us—our endurance, perseverance, and our principles.

    Has anyone here this morning ever ran a marathon? A marathon is always measured at 26.2 Miles. Have you ever heard of heartbreak hill? In the Boston Marathon, at mile 20, the runners come to what is called heartbreak Hill. Heartbreak Hill is the final incline of the Boston marathon. Even though ...read more

    There are some people who think they own you and all yours.

    1 kings 20:1-30 There are some people who think they own you and all yours. In fact they have so much power over that, that it becomes a situation for fear. Have you ever had a supervisor or boss, or pastor or someone in an overwhelming position of authority or power who thinks they have total ...read more

    The importance of standing firm in faith, obeying God's commands, and understanding the consequences of our sins.

    Good morning, family! Today, we'll dive into the lessons found in Joshua 7:10. Our sermon today revolves around three significant themes: the power of faith, the necessity of obedience, and the consequences of sin. In the wise words of A.W. Tozer, "Faith is seeing the invisible, but not the ...read more

    Worship Has Gone To The Dogs

    Your worship takes you to a place in God, where all your needs are fulfilled!

    WORSHIP HAS GONE TO THE DOGS. Mt. 15:21-28 I have often wondered how Jesus felt with all the multitudes following Him everywhere. Constantly pressing in on Him. Always pushing to get closer to the Master. If only to… “…touch the hem of His garment…” At times, He even tried to take His disciples ...read more

    When pure worship occurs it will stir the spirit of everyone present, Both good & evil.This is the worship God wants. Ministering to Him because he is who He is:

    JOHN 4: 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." What is worship? A study of worship will produce a ...read more

    Learn the lesson about worship from Michal as she criticized her husband, David’s, enthusiastic worship.

    To Worship God When someone does something differently from what someone else does, it can raise questions that can have disastrous effects. This is what happened in the life of ancient King David. Please turn, with me, to 2 Samuel 6. There was a problem that David wanted to solve. The Ark of ...read more

    Worship: What? Series

    Worship will not satisfy unless it has both the elements of "spirit" and "truth". To worship without knowing the Bible is to fall for "feel-good" religion. And to worship without connecting with Christ is to go through the motions.

    I am one of those who does not consider a meal complete unless it includes dessert. No matter how sumptuous the meal may be, until I have had my bowl of ice cream or my slice of pie, it just isn’t complete. And my wife is saying, under her breath, what you mean is a bowl of ice cream AND a slice ...read more

    We worship because that is the way we can express our deepest fears and instabilities; we can be freed from ourselves; and we can gain motivation for the use of our lives.

    Few things are shared in by more human beings than worship. Worship is something nearly everybody does, in one way or another. Now I didn’t say that everybody goes to church. Obviously not. Not even half of the American population attends any kind of worship on a regular basis. The Gallup Poll ...read more

    Self-help exercises for increasing your confidence, based on Daniel chapter three.

    The story of the three Hebrew children being delivered from the fiery furnace is such a spectacular story we just might overlook the theme of this chapter. We might think it’s all about deliverance from trials. But don’t miss the real intent of the event. The story isn’t just about deliverance, ...read more

    Fear No One Bearing Gifts

    Solomon built the Temple using foreign gifts and foreign artists. Each of us brings to today’s church the limitations of his own culture, and must learn to ask for and trust the gifts others can give. Working together we learn to savor God’s greatness.

    The Latin poet Virgil, in his epic poem, The Aeneid, has one of the Trojan warriors murmur, when a giant wooden horse was offered as a gift by the Greek armies outside the city walls, “I fear the Greeks even when bearing gifts.” “I fear the Greeks even when bearing gifts.” That is a statement of ...read more

    We have experienced the warm glow of God’s blessings, but the fire of judgment is also at hand, for worship becomes ritual, there is a critical spirit, and pessimism spreads. Diligence and integrity bring vitality in worship.

    In all the annals of human history, there is one item which has held out more hope and yet offered more terror than any other. Wherever human beings gathered, in the infancy of our race, there this one item, this one element, both attracted them and repelled them; it drew them close and yet it ...read more

    Nos congregamos el Día del Señor para rendirle culto de adoracíón. Hacemos misiones, diezmamos y ofrendamos, y oramos como una expresión de nuestra adoración a Dios. Hoy vamos a hablar sobre el servicio como otro acto de adoración a Dios.

    INTRODUCCIÓN Hemos hablado acerca de lo que es la adoración: Culto o reverencia que se rinde a Dios por sus obras y por ser quien es El. Por eso, a lo largo de los sermones anteriores hemos visto que la adoración se centra en Dios y en nadie más. Hacemos misiones para glorificar a Dios, diezmamos ...read more
