     | 1,174 views

    We will look at what a believer looks like, and what they will do, when they are “Moved by the Spirit.” They are called out by God for a purpose revolving around His purpose and plan to make a difference in their family, community, and world for Christ

    Moved By the Spirit Ezra 1:5-6 Watch on YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U16bCwoYr-8 While reading the book of Ezra, the Lord wouldn’t allow me to move beyond chapter one and specifically to meditate on verses five and six.

    Jesus says that we must bear fruit, but a branch can only bear fruit if it is abiding in the Vine

    Of Vines and Branches (Part One) Text: John 15:1-8, Psalm 80:8, Ok… we’re in John 15, and today I want to talk to you about fruitfulness.

    Acts 8:9-25 teaches us about a faith that does not save.

    Introduction Years ago, I read a story about the famous outlaw Jesse James (1847-1882). He killed a man in a bank robbery and, shortly after that incident, professed faith in Jesus and was baptized at the Kearney Baptist Church in Kearney, Missouri (the church where his father had once served as ...read more

    Avoiding False Teachers

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 1, 2024
     | 755 views

    As we continue in our series on Jesus' letters to the seven churches, we find ourselves looking at the words Jesus has to say to the church in Thyatira, how they have some good things, but they tolerate false teachings in the church.

    Good morning, beloved congregation! It's a joy to be here with you, standing on the solid ground of God's truth, ready to open His Word together. We are not here by accident, but by divine appointment. And we are not here to hear the words of a man, but to hear from the God who fashioned ...read more

    Taking Up Our Cross

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 14, 2024
     | 643 views

    The sixth church that Jesus addressed received no words of rebuke or chastisement. It was faithful to the Gospel, open to opportunities, and will be delivered from its enemies at the coming hour of trial upon the world. Take up your cross and do the same.

    Good morning, dear friends. It's a joy to welcome you to this moment of shared faith, a time of communion in the Word of God. We gather here, not merely as individuals, but as a community united by the love of Christ, a love that transcends our differences and binds us together as one family ...read more

    Are you committed to letting God guide you, are you taking hold of His Word and letting Him speak to you? What steps have you taken after hearing His call on your life?

    We are in Genesis 24 in our Dust to Life series. Sarah had died and Abraham knew that it was time to prepare Isaac to carry on the blessing that God had promised him. He had learned through the school of hard knocks to trust God and be guided by Him throughout his journey. And now in his old age he ...read more

    Sermon # 26 - Be Grateful - Don't Grumble Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 947 views

    Jonah’s disobedience and rebellion stemmed from an ungrateful heart. The Israelites too had to wander in the wilderness because of their constant grumbling and lack of thankfulness. Let’s learn to set aside all grumbling and replace it with a thankful heart.

    We read in Jonah 3:1-3, “Then the LORD spoke his word to Jonah a second time. He said, "Leave at once for the important city, Nineveh. Announce to the people the message I have given you." Jonah immediately went to Nineveh as the LORD told him. Nineveh was a very large city. It took three ...read more

    Many want their name connected to a Heisman Trophy or a Nobel Prize, or as an Academy Awards recipient, but the only list that's going to matter in eternity is whether your name's in the Lamb's Book of Life.

    Peter had never seen a catch of fish like that before! If we have Jesus in our boat, we're going to need to get a bigger Faith for harvest, a bigger Grace for trials, a bigger Vision & a bigger Obedience to see God's will done!

    WE’RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT! Luke 5:4-7 INTRODUCTION A. OPENER: THE SIZE OF GOD 1.

    David & Bathsheba: How To Not Be A Man After God's Own Heart Series

     | 1,752 views

    Normally the King would lead the armies in battle. But instead, King David sends out Joab and he stays behind at the palace.

    The title of this message is “How to not be a man after God’s own heart.” So, if you want to follow God and love God and live for God, just do the opposite of everything in 2nd Samuel chapter 11. There are two incidents that are the most famous in David’s life. The first is of course David’s ...read more

    Let God Do The Finger Pointing

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 7, 2023
     | 2,164 views

    If finger pointing is impolite and it is so often connected to self-centered, sinful behavior why does God do it? God does this so that when sinners see their lost condition he can point them to the cross of his Son. There forgiveness is found. There salvation and eternal life are offered.

    “Finger pointing.” What thoughts do those two words bring to your mind? For the most part they are probably negative thoughts. At a very early age we are taught not to point at people. It’s considered impolite. As we get older we experience finger pointing in many different ways. If we had ...read more

    Who Is Jesus Christ?

     | 2,124 views

    It may seem like a simple question for believers, and even a tougher question for non-believers. We may know of or heard about Jesus Christ, but have we taken the time to know who He is? Once we know who Jesus Christ is, we can see how He exists.

    Waiting On God's Strength

     | 4,022 views

    In our faith journey, we often face weariness, doubt, and discouragement. We may feel as if our strength is failing, and the challenges before us seem insurmountable. But amid these struggles, Isaiah reminds us that God is always near, ready to renew our strength and empower us to overcome.

    Waiting on God's Strength ? Isaiah 40:27–31 (ESV) ? 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God"? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the ...read more
