    Submit to all human authority, because of Christ, because of your critics, and because you are free!

    At the spring 2000 opening of the Florida Senate, Donald L. Roberts, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries, offered a prayer. I think you’ll appreciate the candor of it. In part, this is what he prayed: Holy and Eternal God, it must be great to be God, to get what you want—when you want it—how ...read more

    Do Not Give Place To The Devil Through Anger

    Contributed by Glynda Lomax on Feb 1, 2022
     | 2,327 views

    The wages of sin is always death. Whenever you sin, look at your life and realize that death is coming to something in it. Anger sins often bring death to relationships. They can bring death to trust, to jobs, to friendships, you name it.

    So today I want to talk to you about anger, specifically the kind of anger that causes outbursts, especially if those outbursts are way out of proportion to the situation at hand. The reason we are talking about this NOW is a lot of folks have been struggling with this and I think it could be an ...read more

    As you face a terminal diagnosis, rest in God’s perfect plan for you, find hope in this life and the next, and enjoy the time you have left.

    Living Life On Purpose

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jan 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,362 views

    This New Year's message teaches the importance of a God-given vision. When our hearts are filled with divine purpose, we are strengthened to resist temptation and live meaningful, productive lives.

    Intro Our primary text is Proverbs 29:18: “Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction (NIV)”i The KJV says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Both versions are instructive.

    When There Is No One To Stand In The Gap Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 18, 2024
     | 1,111 views

    God makes a stunning statement here: there is no one left to stand in the gap on behalf of Israel. What does this passage tell us about the specific shortcomings of the people of God and the prophets of God in that day? And can this text encourage us today to stand strong amid a dark hour?

    OFF-TRACK: The American church is far from what we should be. - I think this is largely beyond dispute, so I won’t belabor the point. - Let me simply share one proof that I think is instructive. - When you look at the early chapters of Acts, there are many people who are coming to know Jesus.

    Be Not Afraid Of Their Faces

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 30, 2023
     | 4,533 views

    Has God ever told you to deliver a message to someone but when you saw their face you became nervous about what you were supposed to say? This message is about how God directed Jeremiah to move beyond his fear of those he would be prophesying to.

    Be Not Afraid Of Their Faces Scripture: Jeremiah 1:4-8; 17-19; John 5:19, 30; 7:16 When I reflect on the messages that the Spirit has given me over the last few weeks, I can’t help but wonder what is He preparing us for? We have been told that we are watchmen – meaning that we are supposed to ...read more

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Jul 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,417 views

    Jesus explains more fully about submitting to Him and we are challenged to “deny [ourselves] and take up [our] cross and follow [Him].” This is not easy, but does speak to our soul and the judgment to come.

    M16: DENY SELF MATTHEW 16:24-28 #m16sermons INTRODUCTION For the past few weeks, we have been digging into Matthew 16: In 16:1-4, we saw that the proof of Who Jesus is comes by His death, burial, and resurrection. In 16:5-12, Jesus taught us to check our heart to make sure we don’t have ...read more

    The apostle Paul recognized that there are two kinds of Christians within the church:

    • SPIRITUAL • UN-SPIRITUAL Every Christian fall into one of these two categories. HOW DO WE KNOW THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF CHRISTIANS IN THE CHURCH? Paul makes that distinction when he writes to the church in Galatia. Look at Galatians 6:1, we read, “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 92 views

    The sermon urges us to approach God with reverence, listen before speaking, and honor our promises, trusting that God shapes the world through prayerful hearts.

    There’s a hush that falls on the heart when we remember who God is. The ancient preacher of Ecclesiastes takes us by the hand and leads us into that hush. He knows about rushed mornings and restless nights. He knows about hurried hands and harried hearts. And he whispers a needed word to weary ...read more

    Three ways knowing God has a plan can help us in our lives.

    On of the TV shows that was popular back in the 1980s was "The A-Team."  The A Team was about a commando unit that was wrongfully accused of a crime they didn’t commit, so it was constantly on the run.

    This message challenges the faithful to take seriously faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone but looking past certain Hills that are in view.

    King David, more than any other person in the Biblical record, illustrates the moral range of human nature. Look at these snapshots of his life to see the grace of God at work in one messed up fella.

    Message - A Study of King David Snapshots of King David’s character and Scenes from his life I’ve always found King David to be one of the most fascinating guys in the Bible.
