    Approach The Throne With Confidence

    Contributed by Joel Pankow on Feb 19, 2025
     | 529 views

    Afraid of God? Sure that God can't help you or won't? Think again. This text encourages to approach the throne of grace with confidence.

    3.9.25 Hebrews 4:14–16 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest, who has gone through the heavens, namely, Jesus the Son of God, let us continue to hold on to our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been ...read more

    The Surprising Results Of Fear And Faith

     | 2,577 views

    We have gotten used to fear as a part of our daily lives. But it is a monster, ready and willing to destroy our effectiveness as believers, and steal our joy. Let’s see what Paul has to say about it in the context of this familiar passage about prayer.

    How many of you have memorized that passage, at some point maybe even have quoted it? Good. You know what they say about familiarity though, don’t you? Familiarity can breed a lot of contempt and this particular passage is a familiar one. You’ve heard it many times. And sometimes the ...read more

    The Many Moods Of Christmas

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 2, 2018
     | 4,280 views

    Everyone is so concerned about "Merry Christmas" verses "Happy Holidays". What about the context of either saying? Are you going through a good time in life? Then it is Merry but if you're going through a rough patch it can feel like salt in a wound.

    Please open your Bibles to Luke 2:8-20 which we will read in a few minutes. In this part of the narrative of the Christmas story we read of the encounter of the angels with the shepherds on the night of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. With that in mind lets go ahead and read Luke 2:8-20. In ...read more

    Sermon # 28 - Discerning Prophecies Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 22, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 507 views

    Jonah was a prophet of God sent with a prophetic word for the people of Nineveh. In today’s context, ‘How can we discern who is a true prophet of God and who are false?’ God’s word gives us clear instructions on how to test and treat prophecies.

    We read in Jonah 3:3-4, “So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be ...read more

    Five Keys To Answered Prayer

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 17, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,476 views

    Effectiveness in prayer is more than a matter of volume. We pray in the context of our relationship with God. We learn to align ourselves with the will of God so that we are partnering with him rather than trying to persuade him. This message teaches how to pray in faith for results.

    Intro In this message we will review five keys to answered prayer. When we make our requests to God, we are not just fulfilling a religious duty. We are interacting with our Heavenly Father concerning a perceived need. Our petition is not effective until we either get the answer or get counsel from ...read more

    Watch Them Dogs

    We Are Told To Beware Of Dogs. We are being warned about evil workers and false teachers. The Dogs in our text are men who are led by an evil spirit and not the Holy Spirit.

    This message did not originate with me. I heard an old black preacher deliver it many years ago. I think his name was Dr. S. M. Lockrage, but I'm not sure. We Are Told In Our Text To Beware Of Dogs. We are being warned about evil workers and false teachers. 2 Thessalonians 3:11-15 For we hear ...read more
