    A Hill To Die On Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 20, 2016

     | 35,818 views

    Why wasn't Moses allowed into the Promised Land? The short answer is: he sinned, but somehow that doesn't seem quite fair. He was one of the greatest and meekest men in Scripture. Is there something more about God's decision that we need to know?

    I love to read and a few weeks ago I ran across a word quiz from a non-Christian publication that – at first – angered me. I thought they were making fun of Christianity. But once I read the answer to the quiz I realized not only were they NOT doing that, but in fact someone had ...read more

    As James talks about the poor (9) and rich Christians (10), he has his mind set on more than current positions, wealth, and actions. He knows that God will be inspecting our lives not as they are now but as a completed work made up of millions of decisions.

    Tom Lowe 1/19/2021 Text – James 1:9 (KJV) Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: INTRODUCTION As James talks about the poor (9) and rich Christians (10), he has his mind set on more than current positions, wealth, and actions.

     | 202 views

    Bitterness can become a barrier to spiritual progress and future impact. However, when we accept God's decisions with the right heart, we play a critical role in setting others up for success and honouring God's eternal plans.

    Jesus told this parable so He might teach us to pray and not faint. That word faint means to lose courage, to lose heart or hope. It means that you won’t want to give up, which speaks of discouragement. The Lord’s only answer for discouragement in life wa

    Subject: “A Call to Prayer: The When, How and Why of Prayer” Text: Luke 18:1-8 Introduction: Jesus in Luke 17 concludes the chapter by making the disciples aware of the turbulent times ahead.

    Freedom

    The church must speak Gods truth even when the government of the day no longer wishes to hear it. Pray we find the courage our brave veterans posses so that we too can defend the faith from enemies both foreign and domestic and enjoy our freedom.

    Freedom There are many kinds of freedom and many kinds of slavery. We can be free in our spirit and souls yet be enslaved and held prisoner by a government that does not recognize our God or our beliefs. We think of ancient times when Christians were brought into the arenas as slaves for the ...read more

    This message strongly emphasizes how the enemy often uses fear and division to deceive and discourage the body of Christ. When we confidently embrace our challenges by overcoming fear with faith, we move forward with courage, trusting in God's unwavering strength and his everlasting word.

    If All Women Were Removed From The Average Local Church, It would grind to a halt. Women hold a vital place in the church. Most work while men stand & talk. They are more dependable & have greater commitment than men. Deborah stepped in when the men stepped out.

    EVERYTHING CAME TO A STANDSTILL UNTIL THERE AROSE A MOTHER 1. Judges 4 When Ehud was dead, the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord. 2 So the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor.

    Jonah was seated in the wrong place waiting for God to pour out His wrath on the city of Nineveh. There were many others in the Bible who were in the wrong place like Jonah. If we are in such a place, God reminds us to rise up and go, to fulfill His purposes for our lives.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to the city of Nineveh with a message. When Jonah preached, the people of Nineveh received the ...read more

    As we continue our series through Mark, I want us to see why it is important to allow Jesus to have authority over your decisions, your possessions and your life. For if we are going to be the “little Christ”; it will be because we recognize the authority

    based on 9 ratings
     | 45,699 views

    Satan on daily basis is seeking to trap and snare God’s children. Many relationships, business ventures and decisions taken end up being cleverly covered snares. Unfortunately, most people realise this too late and even when they do, they do not know how

    By Bode Ayodele The bible admonishes us not to be ignorant of the devices of the Devil: Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

    At the beginning of every year we make decisions to improve our life. We try to lose weight, kick that bad habit, or just be a better person. In this sermon we explore how to have true peace in our lives which only comes through God.
