    The Gifting Of Grace

     | 3,457 views

    Communion message the second Sunday of Advent. Gifting doesn’t come from stores but from our Lord in the incarnation of the Eternal Son, Jesus Christ

    Gift-wrap has either been tossed out or neatly put away and saved for another time. Boxes may have been recycled and hopefully the toys aren’t all broken yet. CD’s have been played, DVD’s watched and those new clothes worn. Christmas is officially over. So what’s the good news? It is a mixed bag. ...read more

    It Is Time

    Today we see the ’Body of Christ’ showing disinterest in every matter that is important to God, being discouraged with everything that is going on around them and being dissatisfied with life as a whole. It is now time for certain things to happen in the

    Opening illustration: Pressures, demands, expectations and tasks push in from all sides and assault our schedules. Do this! Be there! Finish that! Call them! It seems as though everyone wants something from us ~ family, friends, employer, school, church, clubs etc. Soon there is little left to ...read more

    Why are your prayers not getting answered? Scripture is very clear why...

    Unanswered Prayers Psalm 66:18 Have you ever had something on your mind, you pray and pray over it and nothing ever comes from it? That can get frustrating… We say we pray and sometimes we even pray in earnest but for the life of us we can’t understand why God id NOT answering our prayers. I ...read more

    U Can Build God A House Like Solomon Did

    Draw a line in the sand, and know this you can build God a house with anything if you’re not ashame

    2 Chronicles 2 1 - 6 Solomon was determined to build a house for the name of the Lord; he made a choice and it was hot like that tornado fire the world witnessed during the month of August 2010. Man has chosen to work the same way twice but not with his eyes. It’s time to get over - ourselves; ...read more

    Can Heaven really Wait for the upcoming event ’The Banquet for Jesus.’ Are we all ready to be partakers in it and how we could be ready for this big event? What garment is mandatory for this event?

    Opening illustration: My experience of attending a wedding uninvited while a college student and then being shunted out … Let us turn to Matthew 22 and check out the wedding Jesus was talking about and what garment was necessary to be worn while attending this wedding. Introduction: This parable ...read more

    It’s time for the fathers to become real fathers, and really great fathers!

    I looked for a MAN among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so that I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. Ezekiel 22 : 30 Did you ever wonder why we celebrate Father’s Day after Mother’s Day? I opt not to answer that question, for I ...read more

    The Humility Of Christ

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,854 views

    Paul listed all of the things the church was doing wrong. How embarrassing that must have been for anyone else who read this letter from the Apostle Paul. But this is what happens when someone gets to read the mail of our church.

    THE HUMILITY OF CHRIST Question: In the life of the believer, what does humility look like? Text: Philippians 2:1 thru 11 (NIV) We found this morning the importance of our having the JOY of the Holy Spirit. In that Jesus died for our sins, and has since sent to us the Holy Spirit, we know ...read more

    Freedom

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,381 views

    We have freedom in Christ as God’s people. Use that freedom, not for license to live selfishly, but to worship God completely… and love the people in your life unselfishly. Be free… be free to love.

    Freedom, Galatians 5:1, 13-25 Introduction Atop the hill in Washington, D.C. stands the Capitol Building of the United States of America. The cornerstone was laid in 1793, but the crowning touch, is the statue on top of the rotunda known as the “Freedom Lady” that was placed there in 1863. The ...read more

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 11, 2015
     | 11,428 views

    God is separate from all that is sinful; He is the perfect measure of goodness. He is holiness itself--the source and standard of moral absolutes. Do we have a sense of God's holiness?

    Everything begins with God. He is at the center of our faith. Yet we don’t get out of bed each morning and mindlessly repeat “I believe” three times. We need to ask ourselves: “In whom do I believe?” We were made to know God. Do we? I’m not talking about ...read more

    Worship Essentials

    What is needed to truly worship

    A. Worship is a word that is often used today but little understood. It is not hootin’ and holleren’ during a church service. It is not a warm fuzzy feeling during a song. It is not any of the things that most modern Christians do. B. Jesus said to the devil that God alone is to be ...read more

    World Record Catch

     | 5,488 views

    This morning we will see the results of a boat-sinking catch on personal lives

    A. Opening illustration: You know you have a big fish when you use a forklift to hold in up for a picture. That’s what Carl Sawyer had to do in 2006 when he caught the 83 lb. state record Flathead catfish in the Altamaha River. Not to have it long, Jim Dieveney tied him in 2010 but held up his ...read more

    Are The Ministry Gifts And Calling Of God Without Repentance?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,126 views

    There is a belief in the church today that a person called to minister can still be effectual in reaching others for the sake of the Gospel because “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Rom 11:29 KJV).

    In other words, a person can be in active and open unholy living and in rebellion to God’s law and still retain their position to be used to bless others without changing their sinful ways through repentance. It is true that God can use anything to promote His kingdom. He even used a donkey to get ...read more

    The Prodigal Son

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,528 views

    Jesus gives us an inside look at the heart of God the Father and at the same time showing the Jews that their special place and status is secure. Jesus did not come to remove them from their place but instead wanted to see them willingly take their place

    The Prodigal Son Luke 15:11-32 Today we look at a parable that many of us know well or at least we think we know it well. However as always the Holy Spirit of God desires to lead us into all truth or deeper truth about God’s word. It is important to remember that all of God’s word is meant to ...read more

    What makes you happy? Studies show that people who are healthy and have money are happier than those who are less happy and do not have as much money. What is the source of real happiness?
