    The Source Of Self-Worth

     | 17,669 views

    Jesus teaches three ways NOT to go after self-worth, and then concludes with the only truly lasting and meaningful way to find one's worth. Not only that, but he models that true way for us.

    Matthew 23:1-12 The Source of Self-worth Do you ever wonder why some people are such jerks? Sometimes people can be so cruel to others! And yet, behind the facade of the bully lies a deep insecurity, a fear of rejection. Our bookstores are full of books about self-worth. I did a quick search on ...read more

     | 12,881 views

    Taming the tongue and keeping your temper are characters of the Spirit of God working in our lives. We cannot do these things without the Lord's help.

    The power of your words James chapter 3:1-12 Introduction- Did you know that there is power in your words? We have all been hurt by other people’s words. Words are used to lift us up and to tear us down. Making eye contact with someone- Good morning or What! How are you? Or eyes and words ...read more

    What Is This Thing Called Love?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 8, 2023
     | 1,056 views

    Love for God must always come before love for any earthly object of our affection.

    Everybody knows what love is, right? Love is what makes you sit up all night assembling the bicycle for your daughter’s birthday, or leave the board meeting early to make it to your son’s soccer game. Is that the same thing as the love that makes your mouth go dry and your heart beat fast when ...read more

    Better Is One Day In Your Courts

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 24, 2023
     | 3,976 views

    One day in God’s courts is better than a thousand elsewhere because it’s where we meet with God, because of the pleasures and benefits it gives, and because it's a symbol of better things to come.

    BETTER IS ONE DAY IN YOUR COURTS Ps. 84:10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Neil Marten, a member of the British Parliament, was once giving a group of his constituents a guided tour of the Houses of Parliament.

    Construction Zone Or War Zone?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 7, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,088 views

    Many Christians don’t think it matters much if they allow a few sinful activities in their lives. The truth is, the failure to surrender ALL changes the entire fabric of what your life looks like in the spiritual realm.

    CONSTRUCTION ZONE OR WAR ZONE? Lk. 14:33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR You need 3 things to succeed in life: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone. Tonight we’re going to be talking about having a backbone! B. TEXT “So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say ...read more

    When we look at this text, we realize that this is the conclusion of Jude's short letter. Notice that this is a benediction, a approval and a blessing upon the believers. It is one of the most well-known benedictions by Christians all over the world.

    Folded By Jesus

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023
     | 1,091 views

    What it means to be folded is, to beat someone up, or the newer past tense version of that, to receive a beat-down. Now Jesus does not physically beat any one up, but He sure delivers a spiritual pounding.

    Folded by Jesus Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the ...read more

    Scripture is a blessing that many of us take for granted, a tool that will establish us well for spiritual battles and develop us as individuals in life and in character.

    We are blessed to live in part of the world where we are able to still share scripture openly. There are countries in where the sharing of God’s word is illegal, where people would love to have access to read the Bible openly but do not. There are other places where the Bible is held in very high ...read more

    The Rich Young Ruler Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 3, 2023
     | 3,728 views

    When the rich young ruler comes to Jesus, we have a living example before the eyes of the disciples of the contrast. Here is someone willing to pay the price of spiritual discipline, yet someone who could not with childlike faith give his all to Christ.

    What are some of the qualities that our present-day culture put’s value on? Our society values youth. The beauty industry capitalizes on the quest for the eternal youthfulness. They sell skin creams, facial packs, hair color and offer cosmetic surgery. It is all because people value ...read more

    Jesus Addresses The Topic Of Marriage, Divorce, And Remarriage Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 14, 2023
     | 1,051 views

    Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

    Have you heard the dreaded stat that 50% of marriages today end in divorce? Yeah, that isn’t actually true. It was a myth. It came from a projection that if the divorce rate continued to raise by 2% each year, that it could reach that level. But it never actually did. It’s probably closer to 30 to ...read more

    Greater Is He

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Sep 18, 2023
     | 6,978 views

    It can feel like defending the Unadulterated Word of God, fighting against false teachers, false doctrines, and heretics is a losing battle in a world. However, we can be encouraged knowing that we are victorious because verse 4 says, “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

    “Greater is He” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Often when we look around at the condition of the world and especially the condition of the church in the world today, we can be discouraged after trying to defend the Word of God and hold up a standard of Holiness causing us to feel as ...read more
