    If you want to savor your life, choose to enjoy God’s delights, then learn to embrace God’s discipline.

    From his hospital bed on the eve of open-heart surgery, Pastor Bruce McIver asked his cardiologist, Dr. Dudley Johnson, “Can you fix my heart?” The physician, known for being short and to the point, said, “Sure.” Then he quickly turned and walked away.

    Second Samuel 22:1-51 teaches us to praise God for his deliverance.

    Scripture Chapters 21-24 of Second Samuel form an epilogue to “The Life of David.” The epilogue is in the form of what is known as a “chiasm.” That is, the first and last section are parallel to one another, the second and next-to-last section are parallel to one another, and so on. There are six ...read more

    The Fall And Rise Of Humanity

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 17, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,758 views

    Today's message looks at "The Fall of Humanity." But it moves beyond to look at humanity's rise once again. It also looks at the process of temptation, including questioning and denying God's word, and how that leads to misinterpreting God's motives in giving His word.

    The Fall and Rise of Humanity Genesis 3:1-11 ** Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_D8NkKbwGI At the end of last year, the Lord laid on my heart the word, “remnant” and the “remnant church,” and began to show me what the remnant church was going to look like. It was that message that I ...read more

    The Cost Of Abandoning Christ Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,350 views

    Life is often a matter of focus? As we follow Christ, we can focus on the struggles and persecution we might endure. Or we can focus on the benefits, eternal and glorious, of continuing to follow Christ. Hebrews 2 encourages us to do the latter.

    The Cost of Abandoning Christ Hebrews 2:5-14 A few years ago we had what we called a water bottle outreach at Lazy 5 Recreational Area. It was during one of the music festivals they used to have there, before Covid, on weekday summer evenings. We would hand out water bottles and invitations to ...read more

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 18, 2021
     | 1,747 views

    The Old Testament Antichrist predicts what the New Testament Antichrist will be like and what he will do. Learn about him from this amazing prophecy of Daniel 8--the predicted future history of Israel!

    Donald Campbell, a former president of Dallas Seminary while I was there, once met a retired colonel from the U.S. military who was a dedicated believer.

    If you want true success in life, don’t depend on your shrewd deals or your spent schemes. Instead, depend on the Lord.

    Ted Engstrom and Edward Dayton, in a Christian Leadership Letter some time ago, talked about a young man who was appointed president of a bank. Intimidated by his new responsibilities, he nervously sought the advice of his gray-haired predecessor: “Sir, what has been the secret of your success?” ...read more

    we need to have the propelling force to climb higher and higher until we get to this CRUISE ALTITUDE. How does one get to this cruise altitude spiritually?

    Higher dimension with God! TAKE OFF! Matthew 17:1 Six days later Jesus *took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

    Walk In Humility

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021
     | 3,210 views

    God wants us to cast aside all human pride, and to humbly trust that we need nothing except in him and in our Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Humility is of great importance in our Christian lives. Think of the well-known “summary of the law” in Micah, “He has showed you, O man, what is good and what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (6:8). Humility is so vital, yet there’s ...read more

    Forsaking Renegade Wisdom

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 11, 2021
     | 1,554 views

         One of the problems that often goes unrecognized is the depth of God’s wisdom. Is it possible that we claim to know God, while failing to give Him the thanks and glory? This sermon is about abortion and removing prayer from schools.

    FORSAKING RENEGADE WISDOM Text: Ecclesiastes 9:18   “Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroyeth much good” (KJV).       Have you ever noticed how we are sometimes lacking on common sense wisdom?       Conrad ...read more

    #37 The Greatest "Mountaintop Experience” Ever! Series

    Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Feb 14, 2021
     | 4,816 views

    The Transfiguration of Christ was the greatest “mountaintop experience” in history. Interestingly, Mark presents the story like a deeply moving movie: There’s a preview, the main attraction and after-movie conversation. This sermon examines the Transfiguration.

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Feb 24, 2021
     | 3,402 views

    A sermon about the power of confession and restitution to free us from toxic guilt. The concept for this sermon comes from Andy Stanley's book "Enemies of the Heart."

    It Came From Within: Guilt Introduction We often look for things external to ourselves as the causes of our problems. While sociologists and psychologists are correct to point to the ways in which things like our families, religious experiences, neighborhoods, and the like shape who we are there ...read more

    An Anchor For The Soul Series

     | 6,339 views

    Tossed to and fro by the difficulties of persevering in the faith? What or whom do we look to for assurance and reassurance? Hebrews 6:9-20 tells us where to find an anchor for our souls.

    I imagine as we come to the very middle of the Book of Hebrews it might be legitimate for any of you to ask if I’m ever tempted to quit, to just blow off the Christian life, to abandon Christ. And my answer is not so much that, though I must admit the thought has occurred to me, but always with ...read more
