    Live By God’s Promise! Series

     | 2,641 views

    The story of Hagar and the birth of Ishmael teaches us about what happens when we stop waiting on God. Our man-made plans will go astray. We need to seek God in all that we do.

    Time flies when you are having fun. Time does not fly when you are waiting on God’s promise. When you are waiting on God weeks can seem like years. Waiting on God can be one of the most challenging times. The temptation to step in and take control of the circumstances is great. It also causes ...read more

    God’s Dwelling Place

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 15, 2025
     | 281 views

    In a world constantly seeking a place to belong, to feel safe, and to be loved, the scriptures come as a refreshing reminder that God has chosen us to be His dwelling place. His desire has been consistently clear: to dwell among His people, not in buildings made by human hands.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Story of John Wesley’s dream of first going to hell and then heaven and realizing only Christians were in heaven and not the denominations. Only when God dwells in us, we have eternity with Him. INTRODUCTION: In a world constantly seeking a place to belong, to feel safe, and ...read more

    God’s presence gives us courage and strength to face new challenges, assuring us that we are never alone as we step forward in faith.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile for others and a storm inside. You’ve been staring at a calendar date that scares you. There’s a chair at the table that sits empty. There’s a decision lurking in your inbox with your name on it. Life does that. It brings us to riverbanks we’ve never crossed, ...read more

    Doubting God’s Provision

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 19, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,324 views

    Like the Israelites of old, we are quick to complain and grumble and quarrel, and our fight really is with God, doubting his provision, forgetting what he has done for us in the past. But God is present and at work if we will only trust him.

    Exodus 17:1-7 Doubting God’s Provision Do you wake up grumpy in the morning? No, just let him sleep! (That’s an old joke.) I went to the dentist this week, and I heard a patient in the cubicle next to me grumbling about the fee. She said, “Two hundred bucks for one tooth extraction! And it’s only ...read more

     | 427 views

    If you’re not following God, then who are you following? For example, if you are following the enemy of God, then why would your ending be different than what is awaiting him in eternity?

    Isaiah, Part 9 God’s Promise for the Rebellious Isaiah 14:3-23 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons! We are so glad that you’ve chosen to worship with us - Last time, we unpacked Ch 11 and 12 … we saw one great focus: -- God’s promise for His people: Given a hymn of praise (reason to ...read more

    Psalm 104 was sung at the Day of Atonement. What was so important about this Psalm that it had that particular honor?

    OPEN: How many of you send out Christmas cards? There was a woman who had waited until the last minute to send Christmas cards. She knew she had 49 folks on her list.

     | 2,131 views

    Today's message is about an attribute that we generally do not associate as being an attribute of God. That is, the attribute of jealousy.

    God is a jealous God. The attribute of jealousy is very closely related to the attribute of love. Illus: A lady went to her pastor for some counseling. She had some serious problems in her marriage. When the pastor asked her what was the problem, she said that her husband did not love her. The ...read more

     | 7,990 views

    God’s plan for our lives is not always going to be exactly what we think. But God’s Plan will always be Perfect for us! God’s plan for our lives is not always an easy one. But it is a plan that will become a blessing to many if we will obey that call.

    God’s Perfect Plan? Scripture: John 1:6-8, 19-28 Scripture Reading: Matthew 1:18-25 There’s something special about Christmas pageants, even those in which everything seems to go wrong.

    Paul always looked for the hidden blessing in every trial. Have you been complaining about your situation? Grumbling short-circuits faith, but joy revives it.

    Are you trapped in a prison of despair, doubt or anxiety? Learn to release the power of praise. The apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians is one of the Bible’s most unique books. Some scholars call it "the epistle of joy" because the word "joy" or "rejoice" appear in it 16 times. Yet what is ...read more

    The Bible teaches that we are saved by God’s grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. However, we must beware the spirit of the Pharisee, because they will try to keep you from experiencing God’s grace.
