    The Power Of Choice - Learning To Make The Right Choices

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 14, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,993 views

    The psalmist faced the same kind of choices we face. He may not have been living through a pandemic, deciding for or against mask, for or against vaccines or deciding which political party is right or wrong, yet he offers some great advice.

    The Psalmist poses a thought-provoking question in Psalms 25:12. “What man is he that feareth the Lord?” Ponder his question for a moment…Then allow that question to provoke a self-examination. This psalm and the three preceding it reveals all the postures of worship: David presented in all the ...read more

    Humility

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 24, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,399 views

    Ministers are reluctant to preach on humility. How do we promote humility without sounding like we think we’ve attained it? Needless to say, my sermon title isn’t “Humility and how I found it.” We are all "works-in-progress".

    Winston Churchill was reviling a political opponent at a press conference. A reporter interrupted him asking, “But surely, Mr. Churchill, you must admit that he is a humble, modest man?” To which Churchill replied: “He is a humble man, but then he has much to be humble about!” Ministers are ...read more

    Proclaiming The Gospel Today

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 27, 2023
     | 541 views

    Why are Christians afraid to talk about their blessings from Jesus Christ? Peter did in this narrative. BUT when he received the Holy Spirit he went out and proclaimed the Gospel. We have the Holy Spirit and should do the same as he did.

    Proclaiming the Gospel Today John 18:13-27 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 13 and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people. 15 Simon ...read more

    Unanswered Prayer (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,653 views

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    We have learned that God invites us to ask Him what we need (Matthew 7:7) because, number one, God wants us to be close to Him; number two, God wants us to always depend on Him; and number three, God wants to show His love to us. When we ask something from Him, we must be ready to get His ...read more

    Have you ever reached a point where you said to yourself: “Lord, I’ve done all I know how to do—at home, in the marriage, in the ministry, and in my life—and it still seems like nobody cares?”

    “And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.” Have you ever reached a point where you said to yourself: “Lord, I’ve done all I know how to do—at home, in the marriage, in the ministry, and in my life—and it still seems like nobody ...read more

    A story of betrayal, wickedness and great faith. How Herodias used her daughter, Salome, to trick her husband, Herod, into beheading John the Baptist.

    INTRODUCTION You might recall a few years ago when the U.S. was part of a coalition to invade Iraq and depose Saddam Hussein.
