    Jars Of Clay

    The Lord is pleased to choose the humblest, and lowliest, and weakest servants to carry His transforming truth. He has put the priceless treasure of new covenant-saving gospel truth in clay pots.

    2 Corinthians 4:7 - “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” Jars are fragile things. They break easily. Jars of clay are also cheap things. They are not made of fine china or expensive ivory. Paul says he and his Apostolic band ...read more

    What The World Needs Now

    The world is in desperate need of love, agape love: willful, purposeful, decisional, sacrificial love. In today's passage, Jesus points us to the source of that love, urges us to choose it as an act of obedience, and sometimes to love until it hurts.

    John 15:9-17  What the World Needs Now In 1965 Burt Bacharach wrote a song he didn’t believe in. He and Hal David offered it to performer Dionne Warwick, who turned it down. Bacharach was reluctant to play it for Jackie DeShannon, but he finally did, and she liked it. Together they recorded, ...read more

    God can use people with or without natural ability and proper background. God often chooses to work with raw material. He prepares and empowers those He chooses to do His work. He does not need to use people who took the part or who are already popular.

    Introduction: ‘We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ (Ephesians 2: 10) God can use people with or without the natural ability and proper background. God can, and often chooses to, work with raw material. God prepares and ...read more

    Sometimes we might find ourselves wondering why Jesus picked us as His disciples. When we look at Simon the Zealot we see that Jesus does not choose us according to what we can give, He chooses us because of His incredible grace.

    Matthew 10:4a Simon the Zealot – a redirected religious fanatic Currently Australia is in the middle of The Master Chef phenomena.

    A leader with any great undertaking must choose his staff. Here Jesus is choosing his staff, his right-hand men, and his helpers in the days of his flesh. They were very ordinary men. Jesus saw the Jews as wandering and lost sheep straying without a shepherd.

    My Job as a Pastor is to serve others. God uses me a lot by giving me dreams. Some Pastors are afraid to talk about dreams that come from God. If a young lady would not have heard me talking about dreams her mom might have went to Hell.

    A Place of Service Part 2 Jeremiah 23:28-29 28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully.

    This message given to a group of pastors to encourage them to daily give their lives to God for Him to use in service, as He wants, not what we want.

    “Father, Into Thy Hands” Luke 23:46-49 Intro. We are called Christians, which means “little christs” or Christ like. We are followers of Christ in all that He teaches and shows us.

    God's Will Versus Our Will

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 25, 2021
     | 5,453 views

    Do we have ANY choice or is every aspect of our lives already been predetermined by God? Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and purposes are?

    Today I want to talk about God’s Will vs. Our Will. We are taught from the Bible that God gives us a free will. It is ours to choose. Sometimes what we choose is good and in the will of God, and other times what we choose is dead wrong. Maybe this message will answer a few of your questions. ...read more

    The Greatest Problem Facing The Church

     | 18,019 views

    What is the greatest problem facing the church? It is money, politics, morals, or false teaching? In this message, Pastor Steve accesses our greatest need.

    For the past two Wednesday evenings we have looked at the subject of unity in the church. Such unity, as I said, can never come at the expense of the truth. Gordan Clark wrote, “Since God is truth, a contempt for the truth is equally a contempt for God.” He’s right! An attack on the truth is an ...read more

    Thank you Pastor John Hamby for the original message. Much of this has remained the same, simply because it spoke to our need so well.

    I want to begin looking at our theme for 2014, which is “Learning to be the light.” We’ll start by looking a passage in Matthew 5 and before we look at the idea of being light I believe we need to look at this concept of being salt. Since Jesus added salt to light, here, ...read more
