    Hearing God's Voice

    Contributed by Neal Gracey on Nov 8, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 22,584 views

    How do we know if God is speaking to us? How can I recognize God's voice? Does God still speak? Does God speak to me? There are 3 main voices we hear our entire lives...God's, Satan's, and our own. How do we know which is which?

    Hearing God I will start with the example of Jeremiah the prophet. In the eyes of the world Jeremiah was a miserable failure. For 40 years he served as God's spokesperson to Judah; but when Jeremiah spoke...nobody listened. (pastors must feel that way at times) Jeremiah was poor and deprived. ...read more

    Are you satisfied with merely knowing the acts, and power of God, or do you want to know the Miracle Worker?

    KNOWING THE GOD OF POWER "7 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. 8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them.

    Running Into Jesus

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 21, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,677 views

    The two folks on the Emmaus Walk point to our own relationship with God: sometimes we grow disappointed with him. Then we need to re-orient our life on his word, and discover a whole new joy as we walk again in concert with him and his plans.

    Luke 24:13-35 Running into Jesus The Bible records ten different resurrection appearances of Jesus. Today we look at one of the most captivating, a story only found in the gospel of Luke. The setting is a round trip hike between Jerusalem and Emmaus. A couple of Jewish believers are heading home ...read more

    The Power Of Submission Series

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 9, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 14,484 views

    All Christian believers are to submit to one another. When wives voluntarily submit and husbands lovingly and sacrificially lead, we are reminded of Christ's special relationship with his church.

    The Power of Submission Ephesians 5:21-33 I heard once that “marriage is when a man and woman become as one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.” A fellow wrote Readers Digest, “I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror one evening admiring my reflection, when I posed this ...read more

    Welcome To The "Post-Truth” World!

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,798 views

    Those with discernment know that we have been living in a spiritual “Post Truth” world for a millennia. God's facts and truths have been less influential in shaping individual public opinion than have appeals to emotion, personal reason and perspectives.

    Welcome to the “Post-Truth” World! You may have heard that, back in December, the Oxford Dictionary announced that "Post-Truth" is its 2016 word of the year. According to the Dictionary's website, the word is "an adjective defined as 'relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts ...read more

    Counting The Cost Of A King Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 24, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,091 views

    Israel demanded a king and rejected God as their king. God made a new covenant with King David. In David’s offspring a king would rule forever. Israel rejected God but they did not thwart his sovereign purposes for man. In Jesus Christ both the Sinai covenant and David’s covenant are fulfilled.

    It is tragic when we give something more priority than we give God. Sporting events can develop character and teach young people positive lessons but if that sport ever came between that person and God, it is wrong. Even humanitarian projects which are serving human need in a ministry, if they ...read more

    Eternal Destinations

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 27, 2022
     | 2,411 views

    In Matthew 25, Jesus talks about two eternal destinations. At the Second Coming, the King Himself will return and destroy all His enemies and establish His kingdom on the earth. That will be the Millennial Kingdom. The Jews will finally recognize Jesus as their Messiah.

    Notice two categories that Jesus mentions: 1. The sheep (saved) Sheep may be stupid, but they are also loyal and will quickly follow their leader. Read John 10:1-5. Sheep will recognize the voice of their shepherd, and they will not follow someone who might be imitating the shepherd. 2. The ...read more

    Bearing fruit is not an option it is imperative. Not just to bear fruit but to bear more fruit, much fruit and fruit that remains.

    Bearing fruit John 15:1 – 16. Jesus uses fruit is an analogy several times. Israel was very agriculturist culture so the picture was easily understood. In Matthew 7 Jesus says “We are known by the fruit we produce”. Good fruit comes from good trees. Bad fruit comes from bad ...read more

    We are looking at the concluding verses of Chapter 13. Paul began his exhortation from Chapter 12 encouraging us to: Offer our bodies as living sacrifices and not to be conformed with the pattern of the world.

    It's Time To Wake Up! (Romans 13:11-14) INTRODUCTION Aware of the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul admonished those who were still asleep to wake up from their deep slumber.
