    No Publicity Stunt: Missing God In Plain Sight Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 16, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,077 views

    How do you explain that when people want to curse, they don’t say, “Muhammed,” but they swear by saying the words “Jesus Christ”? Why do Muslims, Sikhs, Mormons, Unitarians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Deists all find a way to incorporate Jesus into their religion?

    Have you heard someone say, “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if I were you?” There are a lot you cannot of people you cannot count on. But there’s one you can bet the farm on, and His name is Jesus. Find John 7 with me, if you will. Jesus finds Himself poked and prodded by the public in every ...read more

    Preventing A Spiritual Tragedy Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 30, 2024
     | 580 views

    Ever wished you could have prevented a great tragedy? Just as there are great physical tragedies with lasting consequence, so there are great spiritual tragedies with eternal consequence. The Apostle Paul seeks to prevent a great spiritual tragedy in the fledgling church at Corinth, Greece.

    How many of you here have been associated with a preventable tragedy? What I'm talking about here are bad things that happened to people you knew or know which could have been prevented. These bad things would not have happened if someone hadn't been ignorant or naïve, or ...read more

    Intro: One of the favorite songs for many Christians is the song MANSION OVER THE HILLTOP

    There was a time when Christians sung this song over and over again in their churches because they were excited about heaven. But some churches can not remember the last time when they sung this song about heaven. WHAT HAS CAUSED THIS CHANGE? The reason many no longer preach, teach and sing ...read more

    Witness Protection Program Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 2, 2024
     | 1,195 views

    Jesus offers us 3 witnesses: 1) human testimony, 2) the very things Jesus is doing, and lastly, 3) the Scriptures themselves. If you’re wondering if it’s crazy to believe Jesus is God, the same kinds of evidence they had is the same kind of evidence you have.

    When your world is in chaos, do you think life is random? When your world is a snow globe shaken in every direction, do you feel as if there is no one who is in control? In the midst of chaos, Jesus steps forward to say, “I’ve got this.” We begin a series entitled “This Is Your Captain Speaking.” ...read more

    Ownership Vs. Possession Series

    Contributed by David Shipman on Nov 20, 2001
    based on 20 ratings
     | 7,815 views

    Ownership & Possession are not the same thing? It is said that possession is 9/10ths of the law. You may have a legal right, but if you don’t possess it you aren’t enjoying it! Do you possess what you have a legal right to in the Word?

    Ownership & Possession Mark 11:24 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive (to take) them, and ye shall have them. (KJV) Just because God gives you something is no sign that you will enjoy it! This morning: Ownership & Possession How ...read more

    My Sheep

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,901 views

    Men do not want a Messiah unless he is tame; men want what they want. Becoming a sheep with a powerful shepherd is humiliating, because someone else is in control.

    At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." Jesus answered, ...read more
