    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,011 views

    Why am I here? Where am I going? What is my purpose? We focus on verses 1-7 as we consider our attitude in worshiping our Savior.

    Ecclesiastes 5:1-20 The Attitude of Worship! (Because of time constraint and emphasis, I only used the first seven verses. I completed the rest and had them in the notes for the church members to do further study.) Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather ...read more

    When we come to the place of spiritual maturity that we can say... "Not my will but Yours be done" victory will be a lifestyle.

    We are two Sundays away from celebrating Easter, the most important day in the history of mankind, past, present and future. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation on which we base everything that we believe concerning God. Without the resurrection we have nothing to stand on as ...read more

     | 6,530 views

    Everyone has a divine vocation, Jesus said -“Many are called but few are chosen.” Those who are rejected are so not because they do not have a call from God but because they refuse to accept it. The goal of my sermon today is to help you understand and

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019
     | 5,285 views

    God's name stands for him. When we pray for his name to be hallowed, 1) We are saying that he is the foundation of our lives, and 2) We are committing ourselves to show his holiness by our worship and actions in the world.

    PRAYING LIKE JESUS: Hallowed Be Your Name In Luke 11:1-2, we read, “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’ … He said to them, ‘When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name.”’ Jesus wants us to pray that ...read more

     | 7,801 views

    The whole creation--including us--is designed to worship the one true God. If we don't cry out, the stones will worship God. We need to become 24/7 worshipers, constantly aware of God's presence and guidance.

    Luke 19:28-40 Mandatory Worship What do these sayings have in common? He’s telling it like it is. She’s speaking for America. He’s calling for a political revolution. She’s going to restore the American dream for hardworking families. He’s going to make America great ...read more

    When we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, we were never the same. We became men and women with a mission. For one, we became a bearer of the light to the perishing, to this dark and dying world.

    Knowing The God Who Knows You

    based on 4 ratings
     | 21,586 views

    If God knows me so well, how could he possibly love me? Yet, scripture says he loves us completely, even though he knows our every thought, motive, and word before we do. Not only does he know and love us, he protects and guides us. We have a great God!

    Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18 Knowing the God Who Knows You Sometimes we doubt God’s love for us. Sure he loves the whole world, but does he love me? If God is a perfect God (and he is), and if I’m not perfect (and I’m not), how is it that an all-perfect God would even want to know me? ...read more

    Our world wants so deperately to be happy. Here, in the first, psalm, God gives us the recipe: choose your friends carefully, devote yourself to his word, and allow him to plant you into spiritual maturity so that all you do will bring about kingdom success.

    It is important for all of us to know exactly where our gifts come from and who has given them to us.

At one point in Boca, we pulled up to a red-light and saw an older gentleman standing there with a “Please Help” sign. Feeling moved by The Holy Spirit, I reached into my ...read more
