    Expect The Unexpected

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 27, 2022
     | 4,267 views

    Life is full of unexpected moments—it would be boring without them. But what happens when that unexpected moment is huge? It affects you personally, and it’s something that seems unbearable. It causes you to doubt. That’s what we find in Luke 7 with John the Baptist.

    Has something unexpected ever happened to you? —you find a 20 dollar bill in between the cushions on your couch —you bump into someone at the store that you haven’t seen in 5 years —the forecast says it’ll be sunny, but it pours —the dog decides to bring you a gift from the outside world, ...read more

    There are moments in history when God’s people cannot afford to be spiritually asleep. Moments when we must wake up, watch, and wisely walk. In David’s day, the men of Issachar were like this. They understood the signs of the times and knew what Israel should do.

    Go! And… Discern the Times — What is the Issachar Anointing? - 1 Chronicles 12:32 1 Chronicles 12:32 (NLT): “From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives. All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to ...read more

    This sermon shows how, according to Psalm 1:1, any believer can choose to be "the man" who walks in God’s blessing and favor from this moment on.

    We’ve been talking in this series of messages about the fact that God wants His people to prosper in life. Our foundational verse for this series is Psalms 35:27b, which tells us that God “has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” The word translated “prosperity” in this verse is the Hebrew ...read more

    Biblical Joy

    Contributed by Darin Gary on Jan 7, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,048 views

    Joy has often been defined as happiness; as a feeling; true, Biblical Joy has more to do with Faith than it has to do with feeling.

    Biblical Joy (James 1:2-4; NKJV) “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, [3] knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. [4] But, let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” ? A certain elderly lady was ...read more

    Trust God by living quietly, minding your own business, and working faithfully so His love, not gossip or control, defines your relationships.

    Opening Story – The Boat and the Drill A group of men were sailing out to sea. After a few hours one man calmly pulled out a drill and started boring a hole right under his seat.

    There can be no spiritual journey or rightful claim to Christianity without first having a personal encounter with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

    WE DETERMINE IF CHRISTIANITY BECOMES DEFINED AS EITHER RELGION OR RELATIONSHIP. THE DEFINING FACTOR OF WHAT CHRISTIANITY BECOMES IS BASED SOLELY ON WHERE WE DECIDE TO PUT JESUS IN OUR LIFE. SO, JUST HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN? WHAT CRITERIA WOULD YOU SAY NEEDS TO BE MET ...read more

    Death is not the final moment. For Christians, it is only a departing from this world and an arrival in God’s presence. The body then awaits the resurrection.

    An ordination service ... Day after day commitment, all the while realizing the Lord could come back at any moment...

    My father-in-law is a farmer. Over the years, I have come to learn and appreciate what that means.

    Struggles to understand the truth of the gospel are not new. The early church record reveals how they also faced and overcame crisis moments.

    Acts 15 tells about the Jerusalem council where the church leaders struggled to deal with an issue that was splitting the early church. If we study carefully this account we see several principles for facing and dealing with issues that can help us today. First let’s read some background, then we ...read more
