    Unwavering trust and obedience to God, even in difficult circumstances, leads to blessings and serves as an inspiring example for our own walk with the Lord.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're going to dive into a story from the life of Abraham – a story that teaches us about obedience to God. As A.W. Tozer once wrote, "The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence." In order to ...read more

    THERE IS NO ROOM FOR BOASTING BECAUSE GOD'S GREAT PLAN OF SALVATION UNFOLDED THROUGHOUT THE AGES DISPLAYS HIS SOVEREIGN GRACE AND JUDGEMENT TO BOTH JEWS AND GENTILES.

    A defense for the integrity of the Bible

    Introduction How many time have you heard questions like these: How can a book over 2000 years old have anything to do with life in the 21st century? How can you believe stories about a sea parting and the sun standing still, and a man being eaten by a fish and surviving for three day? How can ...read more

    Jesus Never Tapped Out

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Nov 19, 2012
    based on 24 ratings
     | 44,503 views

    Jesus never tapped. When someone taps out, they are surrendering to their opponent. They are throwing in the towel, they are giving up, they are quitting the fight. They are saying you win, its over, I’m done, it’s finished.

    Jesus Never Tapped Out (Note to Pastor’s I started this message with a video made in house of a 5 year old doing mixed martial arts type fighting with his father, it ended with the child putting his father in an arm bar, and the dad tapping out. I used this to explain what tap out means in the ...read more

     | 5,129 views

    There was a common belief at the time of Jesus that the Messiah's kingdom would be a physical kingdom, and that it would include all of Israel (and no Gentiles). Is this belief true that was believed then and today?

    There was a common belief at the time of Jesus that the Messiah's kingdom would be a physical kingdom, and that it would include all of Israel (and no Gentiles). The disciples asked Jesus in Acts 1:6, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?" The disciples are showing in ...read more

    Jesus' Chilling Warning, Part Ii Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Sep 17, 2018
     | 4,653 views

    How can we explain that some who even prophesy, cast out demons and do miracles in Jesus name will find out on Judgment Day that they have not done the will of God and are headed to hell?

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus Jesus' Chilling Warning, Part II Matthew 7:13-28 As we attended Dallas Seminary in the 1980s, my brother-in-law was attending dental school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at Oral Roberts University and lived in the student dorms there.

    Proof That God Exists Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013
     | 11,669 views

    The technical name for this proof is the 'Transcendental Proof for the Existence of God.' It shows that it is impossible for God not to exist because you cannot have objective truth, morality, knowledge, reason, or science w/o God.

    What would you say to me if I told you that I do not believe in “words.” More than likely you are thinking, “Are you kidding me? That is foolish. You don’t believe in words? Come on! That is ridiculous!” Everyone believes that words exist. It would be foolish to pull ...read more

    A Funeral For A Dead Faith

     | 38,232 views

    No corpse can work his way into life. He just can’t do it. He is dead. He has got to receive the life before he works.

    The Christian life is just summed up in Grace but the devil doesn’t want you to know that. The devil doesn’t want you to believe that. What the devil wants to do is to try to mix together grace and works. And when we try to mix together grace and works, then grace is not grace at all. ...read more

    Is Our Faith Blind ? Part I Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 20, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,316 views

    This sermon is basically a defense of God's holy word. Our faith is not blind because we have a love letter from God explaining in great detail who He is and what kind of relationship we are to have with our Creator.

    IS OUR FAITH BLIND – PART I Atheists Question: Isn’t faith in God blind? After all, what evidence is there that a God you cannot touch or see actually exists? You might begin speaking to atheists by mentioning the fact that the Bible is a personal love letter from God in which our ...read more

    What if there was no God - what would life be like? It would be meaningless - Meaningless.... The book of Ecclesiastes looks at life from the view that there in no God. This is a verse by verse look into chapter three of Ecclesiastes.
