    Heaven need not be an obsession, yet our relationship with God should be. It is this relationship which drives everything good in our lives. It is motivation for love for each other, gives us strength for today, and fills with hope for an eternity with Gd

    • The Bible is NOT obsessed with heaven. When Jesus speaks of the Kingdom of Heaven or the Kingdom of God, in general, He is not talking about a future housing for God and His people-He is talking about a way of living here and now. The greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven must be the servant of ...read more

    Loving One Another

    Contributed by Shawn Miller on Aug 9, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,555 views

    This sermon shows how loving one another is the mark of a true Christian and once we surrender our lives to Christ everyone will notice.

    Love One Another I've finished another book called “stop asking Jesus into your heart” by J.D. Grier. The title makes it seem as if you shouldn't be a Christian. But it really deals with those who doubt their salvation so much that they feel like they have to constantly ask Jesus ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 14, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,826 views

    What significance does the Transfiguration of Jesus have for me? Why did it all take place? Matthew 17 speaks about this spectacular event in the life of Jesus, but what does it all mean? What is the transfiguration all about?

    Matthew 17:1 – ASCENDING THE GREATEST MOUNTAIN OF ALL I was so intrigued by the fact that he had named himself. His father neglected to name him and so in his early teenage years he chose his own name; the name of a mountain. Mt Taraksh means Great One, and in keeping with his name, Taraksh ...read more

    Breakthrough Prayer For My Church

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014
     | 6,108 views

    As people of faith we need to be people of prayer but even more than that, people of breakthrough prayer, asking God to break through in situations where there is nothing else we can do. We need breakthrough prayer in our churches.

    It was July of 2012 and was a sad day for me. In my first sermon here I told you about Elwood, my first appointment. Elwood was a nice, quiet, quaint little church in Madison County. A pretty stereotypical white framed country church on a quiet Farm to Market road. In the spring the pastures ...read more

    The Smell Will Be Awful!

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014
     | 6,473 views

    When we have faith we aren’t afraid of what is on the other side. Sure, some might say, “the smell will be awful.” But what we know has nothing to do with a smell. We know, what waits on the other side of the stone is the power of Almighty God.

    Our sense of smell can be one of the most powerful of all our senses. The sense of smell can the most powerful of all our senses. It can generate good feelings like chocolate chip cookies or fresh bread baking. When we were living in Tyler I loved to walk in the mall at Christmas time. There was a ...read more

    To Love Is To Obey

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 16, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,100 views

    We must slow down at God’s “yellow lights,” stop at His “red lights,” and proceed at His “green lights” for the highest reason - love. The absence of obedience just shows our rebellion and UN-love for God.

    Opening illustration: One morning as I left Maureena for work, I began to wonder, why should I obey God’s laws? The answer played out as I approached a traffic light that had just turned yellow. A driver at the intersection waited to make sure I had fully stopped. Why did I stop? I asked ...read more
