    What God Wants

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Sep 24, 2023
     | 5,391 views

    Living the Christian life is so much more than what you do, it literally has nothing to do with the amount of money you sow, how many religious books you buy, which ministries you support it’s more than reading the bible, praying, and going to church.

    “What God Wants” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - I am sure you have seen TBN and the Word Network all the popular televangelists who preach to millions of people around the world.

    Sermon # 37 - Financial Accountability In Marriage Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,191 views

    Rev. F. Andrew Dixon If married couples can learn to handle their finances on certain principles based on God’s word, they can avoid conflict because of finances and also stay out of debt. Learn how your finances can be blessed so you can be a blessing to others.

    We read in Matthew 22:2, “The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son..”(Webster) We considered this verse in one of the previous messages, to understand that the kingdom of heaven is likened to a certain king who organized marriage for his son, which implies ...read more

    Be Not Afraid Of Their Faces

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 30, 2023
     | 4,529 views

    Has God ever told you to deliver a message to someone but when you saw their face you became nervous about what you were supposed to say? This message is about how God directed Jeremiah to move beyond his fear of those he would be prophesying to.

    Be Not Afraid Of Their Faces Scripture: Jeremiah 1:4-8; 17-19; John 5:19, 30; 7:16 When I reflect on the messages that the Spirit has given me over the last few weeks, I can’t help but wonder what is He preparing us for? We have been told that we are watchmen – meaning that we are supposed to ...read more

     | 2,007 views

    Have you gone through rejection and are feeling unworthy or unloved? This message will help us understand how much God loves us, and how He can bring healing to all of our hurts from the past.

    We read in Isaiah 60:15, “You were hated and deserted, rejected by everyone. But I will make you beautiful, a city to be proud of for all time to come.”(CEV) There are two states that are mentioned in the above verse, the first is one is that of hatred, desertion and rejection, while the second ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,093 views

    This message is about our response to temptations and how the grace of God empowers us to overcome and not yield to them. It's a follow-up to my message "The Truth About Grace."

    Don’t Take The Bait! Scripture: Matthew 22:15-22; First Corinthians 10:13; James 1:13-16 In my message last week I told you that grace does not cover sin, that in fact what it does is empower us to walk away and reject sin. Grace empowers us to reject sin, not cover it up after we do it. In ...read more

    You’re not alone when you’re in the groan zone

    Over the past couple years, I’ve gotten to know a guy I see when I’m out in the community working on my sermons. We’ve had some gospel conversations in the past and he knows I’m a pastor. On Wednesday, he came up to me and said he had a question he wanted to ask me: “What percent of your people ...read more

    The Final Message In Jude – The Glorious But Challenging Doxology – Jude 1:24-25 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022
     | 3,716 views

    The closing doxology of Jude's letter is not only glorious, but when analysed, it is specifically challenging to our Christian lives. How do we stand? What about stumbling? How are we blameless? To Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority for ever and ever!

    THE FINAL MESSAGE IN JUDE – THE GLORIOUS BUT CHALLENGING DOXOLOGY – Jude 1:24-25 INTRODUCTION: We have proceeded through Jude slowly, bit by bit, to understand it. Jude began his letter wanting to write to encourage the believers in their common salvation, but then the urgency of contending for ...read more

    What do you think of when "gifts" are mentioned? Usually, when Christians think of "gifts," we think of giving 10%, or less, to the Church. How backward is that?

    Gifts What do you think of when I mention the word "gifts?" Usually, when Christians think of "gifts," we think of giving a small portion of money to the Church. Are you kidding me? Since everything is God's to begin with, how backward is that? Oh, how the sin of pride ...read more

    This sermon is an introduction to the series titled "Do Not Conform, Be Transformed" and provides a broad overview of the book of Romans along with the negative patterns in the world.

    Good morning. Since today is the first Sunday in June I thought it would be a good Sunday to begin a summer sermon series. A summer series simply entitled ‘Do Not Conform. Be Transformed.’ This series is based on the passages found in Romans 12:1 and 2. But before diving into the series I ...read more

     | 2,847 views

    Psalm 23 is one of the greats and it reveals the true care of our true Shepherd. David knew the Lord's guidance and feeding, just as he himself cared for his own sheep. The message looks at Jesus as the Shepherd of the sheep.

    Are we still waiting for the gospel, eager to hear the preaching? Do we come to church hungry for the food of the Word? To you and me it will be good news only if we realize how much we need it—how much we need the Lord every day, and every hour.

    We’re about to do something very old-fashioned. It’s not often anymore that people will sit down for thirty or forty minutes, and listen to another person talking: without interruption, without visual aids, or any active engagement of the audience. But that’s what a sermon is. And so a sermon is an ...read more
