    The depravity of mankind is displayed in every place throughout all of history; however, this time we find ourselves living is truly perilous times. God has no need to change for He is complete and perfect in Himself and has no need of anything.

    An Unchanging God By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - I like to play golf although I haven’t been able to play lately one thing about golf that is totally true is consistency is the name of the game. The problem is I wasn’t always consistent. If we are honest most people aren’t always ...read more

    The Strength to Comprehend God’s Love Text: Ephesians 3:14–21 Introduction: Trying to Measure the Immeasurable You know, we humans like to measure things. It’s in our nature.

    As we go through our Christian, let us guard against our loss of love for Jesus. In our walk we sometimes feel that we got it and there is nothing more to do for the Lord.

    Good morning my fellow believers in Christ Jesus. Today we are going to examine a passage in the book of Revelation that speaks of a church that was admonished by Jesus, letting them know that they have become lazy in their love for the Lord. They have gotten to the point where they feel that they ...read more

    David commited an evil sin. He deserved to die. But why did God forgive him of his sins... and why would He forgive us of our sins?

    The first verse of Psalm 51 says this: “A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.” Psalms 51:1 David had ...read more

    This is the third in the series of God’s awesome activity in our Death Experiences. It takes a look at the life and legacy of Miriam.

    For the past several Sundays, I have been pushing the premise that At Times, All of Us Project A Stubborn Opposition, even Resistance, to Authentic Authority and Leadership. That stubbornness is manifested in our Opting For Kadesh (Sacrilegious Sanctuary of Satan) rather than Canaan (Sacred ...read more

     | 3,116 views

    Jesus shared every bit of the future happenings with His disciples, because He was thrilled by the fact that His disciples have gained knowledge and they knew who He was. KNOWLEDGE OF OUR GOD IS MOST IMPORTANT!

    From that time…… Mathew 16:21 ‘From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.’ The above scripture starts with the words, ...read more

    Teaching God's people that our way is not God's way, but that we need to trust God in all that we do. I believe that God is saying "Trust Me" to all of us!

    “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV This is a great verse that I love to quote but have a much harder time living it out.

    Does God keeps His promises?

    Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. And since Jesus Christ is God, we can say that God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. What does this mean? Simply, God’s character and His ways never change! We have been learning about God in the ...read more

    This sermon outline presents most of the major arguments for the existence of God - I have tested it, and it can be done in 30min if written concisely.

    INTRODUCTION: about 100 words. 1. THE EXISTENCE OF THE UNIVERSE A. The universe had a beginning – If the universe existed forever than an infinite amount of time has gone by. Since it is impossible to reach infinity, the universe must have had a beginning. In contrast God does not need a ...read more

    In this message I brought all the children up close to the baptistery and allowed them to witness a baptism. Very effective.

    This morning I want to invite all of the children 6th grade and younger to come and stand right up here. Because I want to talk to you today about baptism. Most of you have seen someone get baptized before but you probably haven’t seen it this close up. And I think the best way for me to ...read more
