    based on 20 ratings
     | 57,302 views

    A message that tells us to be alert to what Satan is doing to oppress us.

    Facing the Roaring Lion I Peter 5:8-10 "Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom" -- a familiar saying in our country. We remember from Pearl Harbor what it's like to get caught off guard. The enemy can be so deceptive: Japan's peace envoys were seated at the negotiating table at the very moment ...read more

    Growing A Contented Spirit Series

    based on 10 ratings
     | 13,765 views

    In an age of commercialism that breeds discontent we are challenged by Scripture to live a contented life. Paul explains how we can be content in any and every situation.

    GROWING A CONTENTED SPIRIT On a scale of one to ten (one being discontent and ten being very content) how content are you overall with your life? Think about that for a moment. Contentment is an illusive quality today. Much of the business world works hard to breed discontent so that we will buy ...read more

    Climbing Higher

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 9, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,721 views

    Satan wants to keep us from making progress in our spiritual life. With the Lord’s help, though, we can keep on climbing. To avoid sin’s tragedy, learn Satan’s strategy.

    Opening illustration: Pastor Dale Kurtz laughed so hard that his sides ached. He was watching a frustrated squirrel trying to climb the metal pole supporting a bird feeder. The squirrel repeatedly got part way up, then slowly slid down the pole in a heap. In describing this incident, Kurtz wrote, ...read more

    People of this world are shrewd in their secular dealings, and Christians can likewise be shrewd in their spiritual development, not at the expense of virtue but in pursuit of it.

    Yesterday morning, I went outside to cut the grass. I put on my jeans and a ratty old aloha shirt. I put on my yard work shoes, my hat and sunglasses, and my big yellow ear muffs. I climbed up on the tractor, pulled out of the garage. BOY, it was a beautiful day. I ride down to the end of the ...read more

    Real Church Philippians 2:1-4 The Preacher’s Outline and Sermon Bible says this, “The Philippian church was a strong church—a very strong church. When a church is strong, it is always full of vision and planning, and it is always working out a strategy to carry forth the gospel. ...read more

    Urgency

    Contributed by David Spiegel on Mar 6, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,166 views

    The signs of the times are evident. Where is the sense of Urgency that the church should have? Jesus said He is not willing that any should perish, so why are we so comfortable with the idea? Shouldn't we be about the family business of making disciples?

    Make no mistake, we have an “urgency emergency”! I wish I could stand here this morning and say, “Everything is alright”. You can just coast through this life and enjoy it as you live to a ripe old age and be gently laid to rest among family and friends as angels carry you ...read more

     | 56,489 views

    Stagnant means sluggish, motionless and inactive. This might be an accurate description of some people’s Christian walk. They’re not living; they’re simply existing. They’re not doing anything with the new life that God gave them. If that describes any of

    ARE YOU STAGNANT? INTRODUCTION: Stagnant means sluggish, motionless and inactive. This might be an accurate description of some people’s Christian walk. Line in a movie: “I just want to live mindlessly from day to day.” Some people are doing just that. They’re not living; ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 22,325 views

    Fervency in prayer is like the tension a string puts on a bow, it transfers its energy to the arrow to make it fly straight and true. An effective prayer is one that is successful in producing a desired or intended result.

    Effectual Fervent Prayer PPT 1 Series title We are in our study of the book of James entitled: Getting the right angle on things. Today we are going to talk about, why and when prayer doesn't work, and why and when prayer does work. By getting the right angle on this we can see more prayers ...read more

    What Did Paul Mean When He Said To "Abound In Love"? Series

    Contributed by James Lee on Nov 21, 2013
     | 15,658 views

    If we could measure love the chart would tell us so much, because in reality, love is the key to building the kingdom. Paul is telling the Philippian believers to abound in Christian love. (Philippians 1:9)

    We have a board that we post the different reports on in front of the Sanctuary, such as attendance last week and last week's offereing. Wouldn't it be cool if we had a way to post abounding love?We have increased by seventy percent in love over last week. If we could measure love the chart would ...read more
