    A great need exists for the people of God to thank God.

    Today we are going to examine some verses in the scripture that contain a very important message. I want to warn you now that not only is the message a very important one, but it is also very strong. It's a message that will make us analyze ourselves and it may very well be that when we are done we ...read more

    A quest for truth often begins with disillusionment, but is easily diverted to something that appears good on the surface; but when you find God's truth, even if it is in a strange place, embrace it quickly and fully.

    The LORD does not see as [men] see; they look on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.

    Salvation comes through knowing Jesus Christ

    IT'S ALL IN WHO YOU KNOW © 3-2000 by Mark Beaird Text: Philippians 3:3-9 One of the great inequities of life is that many people seem to get ahead in life, not based on what they can do or even by hard work, but rather based on whom they know.

    We need to clear up the confusion over the too oftne used term - revival and discover what it really is and how we will know it if it happens.

    1. WHAT REVIVAL IS NOT: A. A series of evangelistic meetings held at the church or under a tent, or anywhere. B. A great weekend, great week, great month of seeing people come to know the Lord in larger than normal numbers. C. Just feeling good about how the church is doing right ...read more

    Tenth in a series from Ephesians. Our life before Christ shows why we need a Savior.

    I’d like to begin this morning by asking you a question: Why do we need a Savior? We’ve spent nine weeks taking a look at Ephesians chapter 1 and marveling at how God has entered into our lives and poured out tremendous spiritual blessings for those who are His children. We’ve seen how God has ...read more

    Our nation is on moral decline. God will continue to bless America and bring healing to our land only if we continue to seek Him.

    HEAL OUR LAND ILLUSTRATION: French writer Alexis de Tocqueville, after visiting America in 1831, said, “I sought for the greatness of the United States in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, her fertile fields, and boundless forests—and it was not there. I sought for it in her rich mines, ...read more

    When we are most in need of a "Close Encounter with the Divine," is when we should look for God to build a ladder to us, that we might experience His grace and guidance.

    Texts: Genesis 28:10-22 Date: Sunday, July 21, 2002 Author: Rev. Jonathan K. Twitchell Last week, we watched Esau trade in his birthright for a simple bowl of red stew.

    This message is part of series paralleling ancient Israel & America. Without consideration Israel had rebelled & deserted the Lord & were unconscious of its consequences. They did not realize the seriousness of their situation before God.

     | 21,181 views

    We are called to dwell in the secret place of the most high! To gaze upon his beauty! To nestle into his heart. For our hearts home is in the midst of His heart! In that place of intimacy.

    The soul of man longs for fulfilment. Many, even in the Church try to fill this longing with activities and meetings, with seminars and with works. But the truth is, our soul will not be satisfied until it has come into intimacy with the Living God! This is what our re-born Spirit already knows; ...read more

    Twelth in a series from Ephesians. God met my deepest needs that I could do nothing about.

    It seems like so long since we last visited Paul’s letter to the church at Ephesus. In reality it was only a two week hiatus, but what a great two weeks those were! On Easter I know many of you had a chance to take part in one or both of our services. At the Sunrise Service, we looked at how the ...read more

    New Life For A Dead Man

    Contributed by Johnny Carver on Apr 28, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,491 views

    This sermon deals with the born again experience which seems to have lost its place among much of the sermons of our day. Because there seems to be such a need for the "help" type of preaching for the troubled lives of church attenders.

    Scripture: John 3:1 – Title: “NEW LIFE FOR A DEAD MAN” Introduction: The title of the message may sound a little shocking, but it couldn’t be truer. In 2:23 we are told that the people’s faith had been awakened by the miracles they saw Jesus perform. In the last few verses of chapter 2 we are ...read more
