    The Leading Of Christ Series

    Contributed by J. Yeargin on Mar 7, 2017
     | 5,511 views

    Our scriptures are unique in that Christ chose 3 of the 12 disciples to follow Him “into an high mountain apart.” One can only wonder why Jesus chose only 3…

    THE LEADING OF CHRIST Being a disciple of Christ is very important to the Plan of God. Trying to navigate on your own (without God) can be a mistake. When my wife and I travel we usually take our Garmen Navigation and sit it on the dash of our car. We try not to get lost, but it happens… and it’s ...read more

    A message about choosing Jesus Christ who is there for us and not choosing those things that seek to destroy us.

    It would seem as if our lives were all about choices. Coke or Pepsi, Ford or Chevy, Nike or Reebok, McDonalds or Burger King. Today we demand choices it is as if choosing were our national past-time. 2000 years ago there was a choice to be made as well. Matt 27:15 You may notice a difference ...read more

    Forewarned is forearmed. Wisdom not only guides us in our choices, it helps us anticipate what we may expect to see.

    Wisdom: What We Can Expect (Proverbs 24:7-12) 1. A lot of times folks get very superstitious about finding God’s will. And, more often than not, they want God’s will to be their will, and somehow make it so. 2. By the time Bobby arrived, the football game had already started. "Why ...read more

    Sermon # 20 - A Seared Conscience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,540 views

    If we do not listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we will allow our consciences to grow weak and get seared. The life of Lot and David will help us understand this better.

    In 1 Timothy 4:1-2, we read, “The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons. Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.” (GNT) Our ...read more

    INTRO A number of weeks ago, I jokingly said that everyone in my family had a license for something in life. The one license my folks said was solely mine was the complaining license. Dad would say: “Stop your fussing;” and if I didn’t, he’d pick on me and saying: ...read more
