    The reason why we missed many growth opportunities to kingdom greatness is our failure to listen and obey God. James told us to be doers of God’s Word.

    Theme: Listening God Text: Jas.1: 22-25 Introduction: A. Last Sunday we learned that humility is one of the key principles to kingdom greatness. Humility has to do with knowing and doing God’s will. It is responding God’s call, obeying God’s Word, and giving attention to God’s promptings. So in ...read more

    We can have and need to be at peace with God.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • When you think of the word “peace”, what comes to mind? Do you think of tranquil settings, that relaxing day in the hammock in the back yard under the shade tree?

    Everyone wants to feel welcomed, but our society makes people feel unappreciated. Fortunately, the cross declares that this is not the way God deals with us. We are choosen by God.

    We live in a cutthroat society. Our schools and our culture are designed for competition. And we live our lives with an “I’m better than you” mentality. Many of us were taught to go to school, get good grades, and get a good job. And once you graduate, send out as many resumes as possible because ...read more

    The whole experience of PRAYER is not to wrestle with God over our demands, but to know the heart of the One who seek to bless us and call us to a higher purpose in life, and help us understand our utter dependence on Him for success.

    This picture of Jacob wrestling with a God-man can be considered as one of the most bizarre encounter in the Bible. • He was all alone, having sent his family and all his possessions across the stream. • It was in the night, and he wrestled with this God-man until daybreak. Many see him as a hero ...read more

    People today hear much on the love of God which is powerfull and changes lives. In these last day in which we live people need to understand that there is a wrath to face for living in sin. Without a Godly fear there will be no true lasting repentance.

    THE WRATH OF GOD Rom. 2:1-9 I. THE PURITY OF GOD’S WRATH A. The wrath of God is not like human wrath. 1. Humans get angry for different reasons. a. hurt pride, questioned authority, desires not met and so on. b. our sinful natures usually pollutes our anger. 2. This is why we shouldn’t ...read more

    This is on the parable of the workers in the vineyard that were all paid the same.

    I want to tell you a story… There is a small rural farming community not far from here. It is not a wealthy place. In fact, it’s a very poor place. There are a lot of immigrants—legal and illegal—there. Jobs are scarce. The only work most of these immigrants can get is backbreaking work in ...read more

    God has called upon us to walk before him in holiness, and has revealed that he is powerful enough to make his promises come to pass.
