In Praise Of Our Reliable God (Psalm 40:1-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 27, 2025

We sing songs to the God who can be trusted to pull us out of the pit, and put us on dry ground. Part of what "faith" is, is choosing to have confidence that God will come through for us.

Today, we have the privilege of working through Psalm 40. Let's start by reading verses 1-4 (Hebrew numbering throughout, my apologies): Of/for the director. Of/for David. A Psalm. (1) Surely, I waited for Yahweh, and He stretched out to me, and He heard my cry for help, (2) and He ...read more

Are You Auto-Correcting God?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 31, 2016

Smart phones have an auto-correction function that changes what you type even when you don't want it to. Christians often act like smart phones when they choose to believe something other than what God believes.

But this message will be just a little different and I hope to present it in such a way that it will cause you to think about it the next time you send a text message from your smart phone.

That Others Might Hear

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 4, 2011

What Would You Have Me To Do?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 6, 2018

Pick your battles wisely...make the right choice. That was some good advice, because the only thing more scandalous than believing God can do everything, is fighting against God when He is doing what He said He would do!

What would you have me to do? Mark 4:35-41 MSG 35-38. Late that day he said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side.” They took him in the boat as he was. Other boats came along. A huge storm came up. Waves poured into the boat, threatening to sink it. And Jesus was in the stern, head on a ...read more

The Garden Tomb – The Sagacity Of Patience (9/12) Series

Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Oct 12, 2020

“Game over. Jesus was dead. We lost.” The Disciples stopped believing and gave up waiting. Sagacity is the quality of being discerning, patient, farsighted and wise. Don't lose faith in troubled times. Immediate/Instant are not always part of God’s vocabulary.

Redeeming The Time Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

New Year's: Kairos (God’s time) vs. kronos (the devil’s time). Kairos looks for what God is getting ready to do in the present moment; but kronos is a distraction that keeps people from using their lives - and time - wisely for the Lord.

To begin our message, I want to point out a couple of concerns we often hear expressed by pastors and church leaders, which are: 1.) Christians rarely share their faith, and 2.) Christians are not going to church as often as they once did. If these concerns are legitimate – which I believe they are ...read more
