    By examining Davids prayer we might just see where me miss it from time to time.

    Pleading With God By Kenny McKinley Psalm 43 Turn in your Bibles to Psalm 43 (read). When David wrote this he was in some trouble. Things weren’t going so well for him. Most Biblical scholars agree that this psalm was written when David was in hiding, while King Saul was trying to kill him. ...read more

    My times are in your Hand.

    God’s Timing (Ps.31:15) One of the most comforting and reassuring statements in the Bible for the believer is Psalm 31:15, our text for the morning: My times are in your hand. Every now and then from some of the most unlikely sources, you will ...read more

    Father’s day message.

    READ: Matthew 4:1-11 Today is “FATHER’S DAY”. One day of the year that we set apart to remember and honour our “dads”. For so many of us this is a joyous day, for we have such fond relationships with, or memories of, our fathers. I thank God when I think of my own dad. He’s a godly man who ...read more

    God Is In Control

     | 59,093 views

    During that time, I discovered that when a person is able to face terrifying obstacles with the assurance that God is truly in control, an awesome sense of power, strength, assurance, and confidence begins to well up inside your heart.

    God is in Control Psalm 103:19-22 I remember a particular time in my life when I was struggling a bit with discouragement, doubt, fear, and loneliness. I spent many evenings having long conversations with a close friend, to whom I poured out my heart for hours. Many times during these talks, my ...read more

    God’s love is complete when it is reproduced in us. God’s love generates our love. When we love, we show that we are living in the Light.

    Sermon Series on First John, “Collecting Evidence of Faith”...“God is Love” I John 4:7-21 -Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts C.S.

    We, the saints of God, are reliant on our Heavenly Father for His righteousness and His life for us. If it were not for God, each of us would be lost in the Valley of Despair.

    THE BREATH OF GOD Let us remember that God is still on the throne. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father ever interceding on our behalf. We, the saints of God, are reliant on our Heavenly Father for His righteousness and His life for ...read more

    If we really understood the holiness of God, we would never stop praising Him for His grace.

    “Who among the gods is like you, O LORD? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” (Exodus 15:11). “I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy” (Leviticus 11:44). “‘To whom will you compare me?

    Four reasons we can be on mission with God

    Acts 1:1-14 On Mission with God Introduction Perhaps one of the most dynamic stories in all of history is that of the followers of Jesus, those who constituted His first church turning the world upside down.

    How wonderful it would be if Christians today would live in such a way that God Himself would “show off” His approval of us by manifesting His Divine Power in our lives as He did in the life of Jesus Christ! I believe that it is His will to do so in thes

    God's Limitations

    based on 25 ratings
     | 11,793 views

    There are some things that God limits Himself to.

    God’s Limitations To most of you this title may seem a little improper. How could an Almighty God have limitations? Do we not teach that God can do anything? After all, God is omnipresent (everywhere at once), omnipotent (all-powerful), and omniscient (all-knowing). So if God is all of that, ...read more

    EPH 5:1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, ...read more

    We are embarrassed and uncomfortable about the concept of the "wrath of God." However, Revelation is good news for those victims who long for an end to evil’s reign and pray, "Come quickly, Lord."

    I love this passage of Revelation -- I can’t read it without laughing outloud at one of the best memories of my ministry. Let us now hear the word of God from Revelation 16, beginning with verse 1. (Read Revelation 16:1-21) I suppose I should explain why I find this so uplifting. It all started ...read more
