    The Matrix

     | 4,042 views

    My question for you today is… are you dis-satisfied with YOUR current level of spirituality, are YOU ready to move forward and have a deeper spirituality, a closer relationship to God?

    The Matrix Two weeks ago we discussed how these Israelites had praised God and that praise led to a bigger awareness of God and His Holiness, purity and worthiness That led to a greater awareness of their own sinfulness and unworthiness That led them to confess their sins And that led them to ...read more

    Understanding truth

    We have such a religious country/society, people all over the world in and out of our communities, people that we work with, those that we go to school with, politicians, officers, government officials and so on all have a religious back ground, and this is a very dangerous place to be in our day ...read more

    If you want to lead people effectively under fire, develop a strong relationship with Christ over time, shepherd the people you lead, and exercise oversight as a willing, eager example for others to follow.

    245 years ago today, 56 of our country’s leaders signed our Declaration of Independence. It marked the birthday of the United States of America on July 4, 1776. Many people have paid tribute to that day over the years, but no one said it better than Paul Harvey on July 4, 1974, two years before our ...read more

    Let’s face it. We all get into conflict—sometimes. Even with those close to us. How are we supposed to handle it? Is it okay to hate people? Can we disagree without being disagreeable? Unity chooses to believe that there is good in every person who is a C

    God is calling you to a new level of intimacy. If you dare to answer His call, the Lord will reveal a Fresh part of His Character to you. He will pull you so close that you will be breathing the rarefied air of Heaven. The place David Call “SECRET PLACE”.

    DISMANTLE YOUR GLORY The Burial of a man’s glory is the birth of God’s Glory: We have lost the art of adoring the Lord. Our worship gets so cluttered with endless strings of shallow and insincere words that we do most of the time to take up space or put in prayer time with passionless ...read more

    "it's Not Fair!" (Part Four)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 10, 2019
     | 10,713 views

    The scenarios we've been looking at over the past few weeks seem unfair on the surface but when we examined them we realized that God was not being unfair. As we close out the series, we'll look at Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard.

    "IT'S NOT FAIR!" (part four) We looked at Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden for one act of disobedience. We looked at the story of Job losing everything despite being upright and blameless. We saw how the prophet suffered death even though he was tricked by a lying ...read more

    Any Old Bush Will Do

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 29, 2025
     | 674 views

    The bush God chose on Horeb was a worthless, fruitless bush that only stuck you with a thorn if you got close, yet God used it (by His holy presence) to deliver Israel and reveal His power to the world! If He can use that, He can use us!

    ANY OLD BUSH WILL DO Ex. 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look ...read more

    Some Thoughts On Depopulation

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 23, 2024
     | 418 views

    The world's current population is somewhere between 7 and 8 billion. Some think that's too many and have openly advocated for depopulation measures. All they need to do is wait for the Great Tribulation and they'll come close to getting their wish!

    Introduction: A number of people, mostly elites, and increasingly calling out for more people to die! The justification, if I understand it correctly, is that there are too many people on this planet to be kept (the “sustainability” argument) and/or there isn’t enough of the right _kind_ of people. ...read more

    The Greatest Love

    Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 15, 2023
     | 1,427 views

    Human love comes in many forms. Human love is also flawed because with it comes conditions and limitations. God's love though is divine, selfless, unconditional and flawless. There's no other love that even remotely comes close to the love that God has for us.

    The Bible says in 1 John 4:7-16 NIV Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the ...read more
