    Jesus is preparing us for the worst to comprehend just how ugly, destructive and brutal sin is and why it should have no place in our lives or in God’s Kingdom.

    Not of this World Readings:NIV John 8:23 23 But he continued, You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

    "Keep the Scriptures in your thoughts and words, meditate on them constantly to accomplish three things; you will do God’s will, you will grow as a believer, and you will be successful in life" (Joshua 1:8, author’s translation).

    A. INTRODUCTION: JOSHUA 1:8 1. Not as the unsaved. "God is not in all his thoughts" (Psalm 10:4). 2. Realize. "Thou (God) understandest my thoughts afar off" (Psalm 139:2). 3. God’s thoughts.

    Faith

    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,069 views

    The text seems to suggest that the bearers of “Bad News” will always come, but the author of “Good News” is always in control. Jesus hears and ignores what others are saying. He has the last word. He is the author and finisher of our faith.

    One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, “Jump! I’ll catch you.” He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,418 views

    The authority God has given Jesus Christ to literally (and physically) judge and punish those who turn away from the Father now begins to show. Jesus is no longer the sacrificial lamb, but acts in righteousness with unmerciful authority.

    Trampling the Winepress Revelation, Part 23, Revelation 14:17-20 Introduction - On His head is golden crown: signifying royalty and authority - In His hand: a Sickle which has only one use: to harvest -- Think of Jesus stepping to the edge of Heaven to reap what is His! - An angel ...read more

    Staying In Your Lane

    Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Nov 25, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 17,809 views

    This is a sermon that reminds us that we should only operate in the authority that God has given us. When we begin to operate in the authority that God has not given us, we are no longer in our lane and that carries devastating consequences.

    Introduction Looking at how young people are performing in schools, in their communities, and even where they live, everybody wants to do their own thing. Respect and following rules is something that has become obsolete! Society has accepted the profane way lyrics of music is sung and how ...read more

    Remember Your Leaders Series

    Contributed by John Newton on Nov 16, 2022
     | 2,061 views

    It seems to me that this concluding chapter is something of a catch-all. I can imagine that the author’s hand might be aching after all this writing. So now he is packing as much as he can into his concluding words.

    Wow! We’ve been reading and making our way through Hebrews for a long time. It was way back in January that we started. Now it seems almost as though that is shrouded in the mists of history. And I want to express my gratitude to Pastor Marvin, who has steadfastly and faithfully been leading us ...read more

    What does Jesus do when He goes to church? He changes things.

    Mark 1:21-28 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an ...read more
