     | 10,773 views

    Everyone life needs a turning point. Abraham found his when he chose to believe the promise of God. He just believed and was counted as set-right-with-God.

    Your Turning Point I want to share a very simple yet very powerful message for your life tonight. It does not matter where you find yourself in life. It does not matter where you have been or what you have done in life. It does not matter what mistakes that you have made in the past. It does ...read more

    After having learned who we are in christ in the first three chapters now we know right belief. Paul begins the last three chapters of Ephesians with right behavior. It begins with unity and leads to maturity.

    Maybe there was a time in your life when you were walking on water on a regular basis – a time when your heart was much like Peter’s: “command me. Tell me to come to you.” Or perhaps it’s been a while since you’ve got out of the boat – but the Lord is pa

    Opening illustration: You may have heard the story about a man who gets too close to the edge of the Grand Canyon, looses his balance, and slips over the edge. Just before falling 1000 feet, he grabs on to a root sticking out from the edge. "Help me!" He hollers. "Is there anyone up there? Help ...read more

    Faith, by definition, requires us to move beyond our senses and our reason into an area that cannot be proven.

    Prince Caspian: Confidence without evidence 1 Peter 1:8-9 The children are confronted with a choice. They don’t know which way to go to get across the gorge and meet Prince Caspian.

    In Mark 9 Jesus’ disciples could not cast a demon out of a young boy. What was Jesus explanation as to why? Pray!

    Take Action Today! When I read the Bible- like to personalize the Bible. What does God want me to take away from- verses. Often when I read- underline/circle action words. How do those words affect my life? Is there action I need to take in response? This morning-share-verses I read recently-Mk ...read more

    How minute is much in the hands of Christ

    Matthew 14:16-21 In the Hands of Christ what might seem as minute to us in actually much. When Christ asks us to do something he will make away for us to accomplish it. When we are in the will of Christ he will bless us and provide for us beyond what we can imagine. Here we see that the disciples ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,851 views

    Ture wisdom only comes from God. And as we gain more wisdom our faith becomes stronger. We want to serve God and we have a desire to know Him. And the more we know Him, the more we love Him.

    I read once of a man who was lost in the desert, just dying for a drink of water. He stumbled upon an old shack – a ramshackled, windowless, roofless, weather beaten old shack. He looked around and found a little shade from the heat of the desert sun. As he glanced around he saw a pump about ...read more

    Knowing Christ is where true faith begins. From there we grow through the essentials of discipleship: Bible study, prayer, preaching, worship and Christian friendship and fellowship.

    What is faith? A Sunday-School teacher asked her class one day, “What is faith?” the class sat there quietly - which was a surprise in itself, so the teacher asked again, “can anyone tell me what is faith?” You could see the little minds working and one boy stuck up his hand. The teacher said, ‘Ok ...read more

    Does God still perform miracles? Of course He does. But what why does He? Is it to cause people to believe in Him? The sad fact is that most people who witness the miracles of God still refuse to believe—just like the people in today’s passage.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ This morning, we come to a new section in the Gospel of John. We have noticed before that John didn’t set out to record every single miracle of Jesus. As a matter of fact, in the last verse of the book, he wrote, “And there are also many other things which ...read more

    Is Science in conflict with the claims of Christianity? How can someone hold to the truth of Science and the truth of Christianity at the same time?

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. How do you answer your friends or colleagues when they ask ...read more

    The Gospel message of salvation is simple. Believe and confess that Jesus is Lord and you will be saved. Why do we make it so complex?

    Believe and Confess – A Sermon on Romans 10:9 Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ in unity with the Holy Spirit. We human beings have a knack for making even simple things complex. Someone that we work with says “Good morning” to us and ...read more
