    A Promise Made Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 13, 2018
     | 6,007 views

    A faith promise prioritizes our faith, it is a sign of our trust and faith in God, and it decreases our faith in money and increases our faith in God. When we make our commitments, God doesn’t want us to do so out of guilt, compulsion, or fear from our love for Him, for His people, for His church.

    The most powerful substance to touch the earth is the Blood of Jesus.

    This is my Christmas 2018 message. It's about having an intimate relationship with Jesus versus having a superficial relationship with Him.

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,926 views

    Does it matter what a church teaches or are all doctrines about God, the church and the Christian life equally true? If all doctrines are equally true, then why did the Apostle Paul write to churches and individuals warning them to beware of false teachers and false teaching?

    Today’s sermon begins a series of lessons that I plan to deliver in the first part of 2019. 1. I’ve titled the series “Blueprint: God’s Plan for the Church.” 2. As I mentioned two weeks ago, there is always a need to return to the basics and strengthen the foundation, and that is something we will ...read more

    Christians have the external world, the internal flesh, and the infernal Devil to deal with every day. If you have been a Christian for any length of time, then the Tempter is no stranger to you.
