    The Gift Of Love Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Dec 19, 2019
     | 4,275 views

    In Malachi 3:1-4 we see the Father's "Gift of Love" in the promise of His Son through a series of predictions (i.e., announcements regarding the future). In verses 1-4 we can see love from (1) The Coming Lord (Malachi 3:1-2) and from (2) The Purifying Lord (Malachi 3:3–4).

    Malachi 3:1-4 [3:1]"Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.

    Friday - The Innocent One Is Condemned, Crucified, And Buried Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 4, 2022
     | 2,457 views

    On that Friday, of the last week of Jesus' earthly life, He was condemned, crucified, and buried. God's amazing plan for redemption and God's great love for us was on display through the awful events of that day. To follow Jesus requires that we pick up the cross daily and follow Him.

    A. “I stand before the cross and wonder. I stand before the cross and fear. I kneel before the cross and weep. I pray before the cross and rejoice. To know the cross is to know Christ. To feel the cross is to feel Christ. To gaze at the cross is to gaze at Christ. To carry the cross is ...read more

    Winning In The Kingdom Court Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,887 views

    We should plead our cases before the Kingdom Court, knowing we have an Advocate (Jesus) to aid in our defense against the accusations of the prosecutor (Satan). Based on the "Dangerous Prayers" book by Francis Myles.

    Tonight, we are going to view a fresh perspective on prayer from Dr. Franics Myles in his book on “dangerous prayers.”(1) Now, I have taken some time to wade through his book and weed out the muck. Let me get started by saying that I have heard it said, “Prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not ...read more

    How To Become A True Worshipper

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,072 views

    Worship is an instinct within every human being because it is God-created and has been divinely implanted within us. He has provided an outlet for our need to worship.

    "The hour cometh," Jesus said, "when the true worshippers SHALL worship." All other things of importance will be set aside for worship. Mere rituals will give way to meaningful worship. This promise follows the earlier pledge that "... the water that I shall give him shall ...read more

    We live in a world that has no idea what mercy really is or any desire to show it. Jesus has a much better way for those in His Kingdom, 'Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."

    Hope Out Of Darkness

     | 1,002 views

    At Cadillac Mountain, dawn hits that ridge before the rest of the country. Isaiah 9 speaks to a people in predawn darkness and promises a light that breaks in. Advent says that light has a name, Jesus, and His coming turns yokes into freedom, fear into joy, and night into morning.

    You know, I recently had the chance to take a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine. And there's this place there, Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park - where you can be the first person in America to see the sunrise. Imagine that. Wouldn’t that be cool to be able to say that you were one ...read more

    God calls us by name, not by our failures. When our confidence ends, His grace begins, restoring identity, worth, and hope.

    There are some sermons that come out of study, and some that come out of history, and some that come out of doctrine… But every once in a while, a sermon comes out of the quiet places inside the soul. The places where you don’t speak out loud. The places you don’t even write down. The places where ...read more

    True peace and purpose come from wholeheartedly loving God, loving others sincerely, and recognizing Jesus as both Savior and Lord in every part of life.

    Some of us walked in today with a spring in our step; others dragged in with weights we can’t quite name. Bills on the counter. Questions in the heart. News alerts that make us sigh. And right in the middle of it all, God meets us—not with a scowl, but with a smile; not with a list of hoops, but ...read more
