    God Has Got Your Back

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 4, 2022
     | 2,439 views

    When situation gets beyond control, when the enemy comes like a flood against you, your health, your children and your finances, all you have to do is ‘lift up your hands from where your help comes.’

    God has got your back Daniel 3:22”For this reason, because the king's command was urgent and the furnace had been made extremely hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego.” A prophetic word is coming towards you this morning that no weapon ...read more

    Benefits Of Persecution Series

     | 3,775 views

    In this exposition of Jesus's 8th Beatitude ("Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake"), we explore biblical revelation as to why persecution is a blessing, more specifically, what are the benefits of persecution for God's people.

    Intro We are considering the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is a major theme in Scripture. We see it in the first family; it runs all through the Old and New Testaments; and in the ...read more

    King Saul was blinded by his anger towards David and it led him to lose his temper in ways that destroyed his family and his dynasty. What can we do to avoid the same blindness that hurt Saul?

    On July 4th, 1826 two of our nation’s Founding Fathers died (that same day) within hours of each other. John Adams & Thomas Jefferson (the 2nd and 3rd Presidents of the U. States) both died on July 4th. What makes this interesting is that Adams and Jefferson were close friends. In 1775 ...read more

     | 1,756 views

    If we want our marriages to be vibrant and happy, we must work towards getting back to the love we had for each other when we first got married. Here are some practical counsel from God’s word on how we can make love grow in our marriages.

    We read in Ecclesiastes 4:9, “Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively.” (GNB) The counsel that we receive from the word of God as mentioned in the above verse, is that two are far better than one, as together they can work far more efficiently on any given ...read more

    What motivates you to be truly thankful to God? Even our normal thanks to God becomes academic and anemic at times. We need to keep our praise to Him fresh and alive so our passion for Him remains fresh and alive. Psalm 100 gives us that boost to help

    Psalms 58 And 109 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 5, 2020
     | 5,838 views

    The outrage expressed in passages in these psalms are examples of times David seemed to be "fed up" with his enemies. He pours out his fury to God, not intending for his Father to act on the ills he calls for, but for God to see the passion poisoning his heart and send relief.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Psalm 51 Title: "Prayer For Pardon And Purity” Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,121 views

    Psalm 51 was composed after David was confronted about his adultery with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12:1-25). The psalmist is ill (v. 8), perhaps near death (v. 14), and longs to be healed. Yet far weightier than that physical longing is his passionate desire for forgiveness.

    Sermon # 8 - Time To Wake Up Series

     | 1,252 views

    In the midst of a serious storm, Jonah was blissfully asleep unaware of the predicament of his fellow passengers caused by his disobedience. Is it possible that the church too is asleep at a time when we have to wake up to fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus gave us?

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.” (Darby) This is the ...read more

    There are two major groups of prophecy regaring the life of the Messiah on earth as the Lamb of God and the return of the Messiah to earth as King and Judge.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. “But ...read more
