    May God grant us the courage and willingness to exalt Christ in life and in death!

    There’s no such thing as a sure thing.” That statement brings out the blatant skepticism inherent to the human nature. Whether you’re dealing with the stock market or simply perusing the coupons in the Sunday paper, people are cautious to jump at something. After all, if it seems too good to be ...read more

    When we look at Mary and the birth of Jesus we see a struggle of being pregnant and no one believing her. Why did the angel only tell her? Wouldn't a family meeting with all the parties be more appropriate? We will see that God's gifts have thorns!

    God’s Gifts Have Thorns Matthew1:18-25 and Luke1:26-56 & 2:1-39 Today is Sunday, December 24, 2017. A day known around the world in many different languages as Christmas Eve.

    Often times challenging people to have a vision is the challenge. Causing them to see what and where God wants to take them is sometimes hard. When you are preaching about vision and people look at you like you are out there... Ya mean you want me to have

    Do we have a vision?

    They Could Have Had Jesus

     | 9,979 views

    Frequently we settle for less, missing out on God's best. Nazareth could have had Jesus, but they rejected Him and missed the healing and deliverance they could have had.

    THEY COULD HAVE HAD JESUS Mark 6:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about a man who asked his pastor, “My grandmother dips snuff. Can she go to heaven if she dips snuff?” 2.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,729 views

    God can use whatever we offer Him, no matter how insignificant it may seem. In Luke 5:1-11, Jesus uses Peter's old fishing boat and broken net, demonstrating that what matters is not the quality of what we offer, but the willingness to make it available to Him.

    God has a ministry for every one of His children, not just the Pastor. Every Christian has a ministry, including you! While not everyone will be a great soul-winner, we all have a part in leading others to Christ. We are all links in the chain, though not all are the last link. Some may have the ...read more

    The Holy Spirit took fisherman, former prostitutes, ex-religious leaders, tax collectors, and various family members of Jesus and the other disciples and formed them into a united group we call the church.

    Today across our group of churches is Healing and Wholeness Sunday. We are a Pentecostal Church and we believe that God can and does Heal people every day. So why do we have a specific day dedicated to Healing and Wholeness? In many ways today is no different from any other day but often we ...read more
