He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away” The scripture speaks of a God who welcomes the unwelcome. These words are so important that no only do our choirs ...read more

    Overcoming Prejudice With Love

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 27, 2017
     | 11,006 views

    James dealt with partiality and prejudice in the early church, revealing such attitudes were sinful. The divide in our nation continues to grow, and we must check our attitudes with Scripture. Prejudice will not exist with genuine love.

    Overcoming Prejudice with Love James 2: 1-10 There can be little doubt that our nation is facing the greatest division we have witnessed in decades. The level of turmoil we face today has not been experienced since the 1960’s. While the racial divide seems to be growing at an alarming rate, the ...read more

    ARE WE LISTENING TO ALL THE NEGATIVE GARBAGE AND LOSING SIGHT OF OUR GOAL? Will we focus on being a blindness candidate or will we enjoy today. You must never give up. Are we seeing a distorted vision? Get up, try again!

    Deliverance. We talk about it. We ask for it. We demand it. We know we need it. However, deliverance is often accompanied by dilemmas! Are we willing to hold on for freedom?

    Deliverance Dilemmas Pt. 3 - Diet I. Introduction The load had become too heavy. 430 years of harsh slavery. 430 years of no freedom. 430 years of being treated as less than. Finally, the people have had all they can take and their desire for rescue has culminated in the desperate cry for ...read more

    Who Do You Think You Are, Goliath? (1 Samuel 17: 1-54)

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,355 views

    One of the unfortunate realities about living in this world is the existence of bullies who intimidate and threaten others. The Bible describes one such bully named Goliath. His threats against Israel and God ceased when he encountered David and one smooth stone.

    Bullies have existed in this fallen world ever since Cain killed Abel at the beginning of civilization (Genesis 4:8). However, as the days get darker spiritually and the love of people grows cold (Matthew 24:12; Romans 1:18-32), the problem of bullying is only going to grow like a cancer across ...read more

    In the middle of the night, when we can’t figure out what to do, we need to remember that God works the night shift. He’s up all night anyway, why not cast our cares on Him?

    GOD WORKS THE NIGHT SHIFT Ps. 121:3-4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: MISSING THE POINT 1. A honeymooning couple was passing through Louisiana. 2. As they approached Lafayette, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town’s name. They argued back and forth until they reached town, where ...read more

    "Nicodemus Wears A White Hat”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 11, 2021
     | 3,587 views

    Good cowboys wear white hats. Nicodemus was depending on his "goodness", keeping Jewish rules and his connection to Abraham. Our new American theology is not different....we want to depend on our own goodness. Jesus is not "one" way, but the only way.

    In Jesus Holy Name Lent IV March 14, 2021 Text: John 3:17,18a “Nicodemus Wears a White Hat” Who wears white hats? In the old silent movie days you always knew who the good cowboys were. They wore white hats. The bad cowboys wore back hats. That way you always knew who the ...read more

     | 4,766 views

    As the Light of the World Jesus takes us out of darkness and worldliness. Darkness and worldliness does not come because we are the worst we can be; it comes because we are following the distraction of Satan who masquerades as an angel of light.

    Message John 8:12 I Am The Light of the World When Jesus describes Himself as The Light we can quickly understand the significance of the metaphor. Light gives direction. Light pierces the darkness. Light takes away fear, uncertainty, and hesitancy. Light reveals truth. We get the metaphor. Those ...read more

    In Part 1 of the Mustard Seed we introduce this parable looking at the plant and the birds of the air. This will be a revealing subject. The true meaning of this parable is not what is generally believed. We will see that more in the next three Parts.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE THIRD - THE MUSTARD SEED - PART 1 of 4 [1]. INTRODUCTION So far we have considered the Sower, and the Tares and the Wheat, but now we come to a new one.

     | 3,635 views

    Jesus challenged the Pharisees..... religion is useless and worthless, ineffective when it substitutes a human plan of salvation for God's plan of redemption; when it rests upon man's works. (Illus. Pharisee robes and rules.) (Illus. what people do to look better)

    In Jesus Holy Name Pentecost XIV August 29, 2021 Text: Mark 7:1-14 “Looking Good Is Not Enough” Recently “People” magazine selected the 50 most beautiful people in the world, I wasn't on the list. It was quite a blow. Years ago Cindy Crawford was a heartthrob for many men and ...read more

    John 6 - Calming the Storm. Jesus reveals the Father’s peace and power as He walks on the storm, showing that divine presence rules even human fear.

    (The Storm Whisperer) Part 1 – John’s El Niño The weather report on the way into the office said hot and dry— pack a lunch, stay hydrated, expect nothing out of the ordinary. That’s the forecast we like: predictable, manageable. But life doesn’t always read the forecast. Storms change our ...read more
