    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,430 views

    In an age when so many things and forces threaten to control our lives, we need the reassurance that Jesus' power is available to us.

    “He’s Amazing! The Greatest Ministry Ever!” Mark 2:1-12 Mark wrote his Gospel to Christians, mostly Gentiles, living in Rome. Since being Christian in Rome was very difficult due to opposition and persecution, his main concern was to share with them the power available through ...read more

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Nov 7, 2013
     | 10,271 views

    Face your fears with faith. Trust God who knows the future, because He controls the future to refine and purify His own.

    In 1973, Producers hired a young director to make a movie based on Peter Benchley's novel about shark attacks called Jaws. That movie launched Steven Spielberg’s career at the age of 26 with its scary special effects. In fact, the movie was so scary that even to this day millions of ...read more

    Getting Even Somehow Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 3, 2017
     | 4,583 views

    The emotion that wells up within us to “get even” is about control, consequences, and vindication. Relational issues are never JUST relational issues!

    Getting Even Somehow (Proverbs 25:21-24) 1. Nobody likes a power outage. You may light oil lamps or use LED lanterns. 2. You enter a room, try to turn on a light switch. There is a lot of psychology there. 3. This is even true of an internet our computer outage. We have become so dependent ...read more

    We Must Grow And Mature In Christ Jesus

    Contributed by Richard Papafio on May 20, 2019
     | 4,688 views

    Until the church matures, jealousy, envy, chasing after miracles and prophecies will not be under control and led by the Spirit of God but led by human desires

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: *WE MUST GROW AND MATURE IN CHRIST JESUS* 1 Corinthians 3:1-5 King James Version (KJV) 3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and ...read more

     | 1,198 views

    To execute the vision and to complete the mission, we need to have three life values as checklists, namely submission, humility and self-control or disciple.

    1 Peter 5:1-11 “Our Daily Life Values” (THREE SECRETS TO THE SUCCESS)   Greetings: The Lord is good and his love endures forever.  Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    God Is On The Throne

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 7, 2024
     | 1,415 views

    As Christians, our kingdom citizenship is primary and should impact our earthly citizenship. Ultimately, God is in control and Jesus is our only hope.

    A. Brooks Hayes was a Congressman from Arkansas in the 1940s and 50s. 1. One day he sought the advice of a clergyman who suggested that he go out in the rain and lift his head toward heaven. 2. The clergyman said, “It will bring a revelation to you.” 3. The next day Congressman Hayes reported to ...read more

    Keeping It Together

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 333 views

    In a divided world, Christ—not agreement or control—holds the church together as peace, creating unity without uniformity through grace, love.

    Two old men were sitting outside a seniors’ home enjoying the sunshine. One turned to the other and said, “Slim, I’m 83 years old and I’m just full of aches and pains. You’re about my age. How do you feel?” Slim said, “I feel just like a newborn baby.” “Really? Like a newborn baby?” “Yep. No ...read more

    Two Kings, Two Paths

    Contributed by Martin Spoelstra on Oct 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 432 views

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

    No Repentance, No Revival Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 12, 2025
     | 280 views

    Without repentance, revival becomes theater—faith without surrender. True awakening begins when hearts trade control for the cross of Christ.

    The Rubberneck Revival We’ve all done it—slowed down to stare at someone else’s wreck. Traffic crawls, brake lights flare, and curiosity pulls at us. We glance, we speculate, we shake our heads—and then we move on. That’s the spirit of this cultural moment. The world is rubbernecking religion. ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,020 views

    People of faith place their hope for the future in the promises of God. The things hoped for, though not yet seen, control the life of a person of faith.

    HEBREWS 11: 13-16 FAITH’S PERSECTIVE / SEEKING A BETTER HOMELAND [Revelations 21: 1-7] There is a story about an extremely RICH MAN who was determined to take it all with him when he died. He prayed and prayed until finally the Lord gave in to his prayer request. The only condition was that ...read more

    Does God Ordain/Allow Evil And Suffering?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 12, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,913 views

    Within the church, there is a belief that everything is under the direct sovereign control of God, therefore He ordains what satan and his minions do.

    It is also believed that when people get sick or suffer horrible tragedies, it is the will of God because He "allowed/ordained" it. God is the Holy and transcendent one. He is sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. He knows all things past, present, and ...read more

    Encourage believers to trust and obey Jesus' call to go deeper in their faith, surrendering their own control and allowing God's transformative work in their lives.

    Good morning, Church family! Our message today is going to dive deep – literally and figuratively. We’re going to take a look at Luke 5:1-14 where Jesus calls His first disciples and challenges them to go deeper in their faith. It’s a powerful story of obedience, trust, and transformation that ...read more

    It's All About People

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 25, 2025
     | 222 views

    God calls us to release control, embrace peace, magnify good, and trust Him to change people while transforming our hearts.

    Introduction One interesting thing about people — they are everywhere. You can’t get away from them. Think about your day today: the barista handing you your usual beet root kale smoothie. That driver who cut you off on the freeway. The e-mail you got earlier from a coworker. The text you sent to ...read more

    When Friendship Costs You

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 23, 2026
     | 129 views

    Covenant friendship shifts the center from me to thee, revealing a Christlike love that releases control, bears cost, and carries the atmosphere of heaven.

    There are friendships that come easily. They form around shared interests, shared seasons, shared benefits. They feel natural. They feel mutual. And most of the time, they ask very little of us. But Scripture shows us another kind of friendship— one that does not reveal itself when everything is ...read more

     | 10,695 views

    Division has been Satan’s primary means to obtain his loyal followers. It is a time-honored emblem of his control over mankind in the place of God or his Son.

    Our culture is very confused, very distracted and very divided in determining what is right and what is wrong. Satan is dividing our nation and deceiving the population making it very hard to speak out and teach our neighbor what is truth. The words of Abraham Lincoln, in his House Divided speech ...read more
