    The Humble Will Receive Grace, I Promise! Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 13, 2020
     | 7,302 views

    God hates pride, but loves humility. God's promise is that if we humble ourselves before God, He will give us His grace. This truth is clearly displayed in the story of Nebuchadnezzar, and in the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector.

    A. One day a certain preacher began to pride-fully muse about what a fine preacher he had become. 1. So he said to his wife, “How many really great preachers do you think there are?” 2. His wife thought for a minute and said, “Well, I don’t know how many really great preachers there are, but ...read more

     | 227 views

    We are living in a remarkable age—an age of breathtaking technological advancement. In just one generation, we’ve gone from rotary phones to smartphones, from libraries to the internet, from hand-written letters to global instant communication.

    "Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’ But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth…" —Deuteronomy 8:17–18a (NKJV) ---Introduction: A Moment of Pride--- We are living in a ...read more

    Festering Pharoah Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 112 views

    God turns up the heat on pride, not to destroy but to heal—transforming our ashes into grace and our wounds into worship.

    Egypt thought it had already seen the worst of it. The rivers had bled, the frogs had croaked, the flies had swarmed. But pride is hard of hearing. Pharaoh still stood tall, still folded his arms, still told God, “Not today.” So God turned up the heat. No thunder this time. No frogs hopping down ...read more

    Inner Nature

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Oct 7, 2025

     | 115 views

    The inner man or inner nature has so much power to destroy people and take away the kingdom of God from them. It can cause one to fall on his or her way from this earth to heaven. All of you who have the opportunity to read this write-up should set aside time to fast and pray concerning this matter.

    God created us perfectly, in His own image. He created us to be godly, and 1 Tim 6:6 says godliness with contentment is great gain. God created us to be like Him, but the enemy came and messed us up. Jesus described Satan as a liar and chief of liars (a great deceiver), John 8:44 This murderer and ...read more

    Peace Too Late

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 15, 2025
     | 94 views

    Abner’s delayed surrender and Joab’s proud revenge reveal how pride postpones peace—but David’s mercy shows the heart of true kingship.

    Introduction – A Name That Holds Two Stories My name is David Abner—two names that once stood on opposite sides of a kingdom. One carried the harp and the crown. The other carried the sword and the seal of command. Two men, both strong, both loyal, both flawed, whose paths met too late for ...read more

    God’s mercy will block your path, speak through unlikely voices, and stop you before you destroy yourself — if you’ll listen.

    Opening Illustration – “Ever had your GPS yell at you?” You ever argue with your GPS? You know that calm, polite voice that starts out helpful but eventually sounds like it’s losing patience? > “In two hundred feet, turn left.” “Recalculating.” “Make a U-turn. Make a U-turn.

    Psalm 131 invites restless hearts into humility and hope—trusting God’s presence over answers, like a weaned child content with mother.

    It’s easy to worry. Anxiety is normal. Fear is expected. There’s plenty to be anxious about. I once heard a guy on the radio say, “Anyone who doesn’t have high blood pressure these days just isn’t paying attention.” And maybe he’s right—because we live in a world wound tight with hurry and ...read more

    This sermon explores the authority of Jesus as the Messiah, the pride and blindness of the Pharisees, and the call for humility and inclusivity in faith.

    Welcome church! Today we’ve got an interesting passage about the authority of Jesus and the inability of the Pharisees to see Jesus for who He is. And, smack dab in the middle of it all there is a parable about 2 sons. How are these things related? Why is authority important and what role does ...read more

    A study of the true characteristics and value of the wisdom granted by the Lord.

    One of the most well-known stories from the Old Testament is God’s granting wisdom to young King Solomon. 1 Kings 3:5-12, “In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, ‘Ask what you wish Me to give you.’ Then Solomon said, ‘You have shown great loving-kindness to Your ...read more

    Last time we saw that Peter’s overconfidence and pride kept him from trusting the Lord. His pride began to cut away at his faith. His weak faith in Jesus began to give way to fear. Denying the Lord Jesus was a natural consequence of this fear. Someone has said, “The conclusion of a dying faith ...read more

    So often in the Church we pretend that everything is perfect, but truth is, it isn’t. The book of James offers insight into how to cure this ailment.

    Stained-Glass Masquerade (James 5:13-16) Intro: Do you ever walk in to a church service and begin to question the validity of the perfection that’s displayed? Do you ever look around at the people and ask “Is there anyone in here who fails?” or “Has anyone fallen down in their walk with God ...read more

    Great resume, but still an unprofitable servant. Don't sweat it!

    Having been in ministry of some form since 1975 I have seen a few things. Some have been great and others not so great. I have had some victories and fallen on my face. Yet, I have always had the desire to serve the Lord and have pressed on looking for His grace and wisdom to lead me on though ...read more

    Five characteristics of the kind of church God uses.

    When your average unchurched person decides to go to church, that person is met with a bewildering array of different choices. There are so many different kinds of churches in our culture today, it can be very confusing trying to sort through them all. Churches come in different sizes. The average ...read more
