    Give Me Patience ... Now! Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 31, 2019
     | 5,382 views

    It is always a bad idea to try to accomplish God’s plan in your own way and by your own timing. God’s plans come complete with His methods and His timing, and when we get impatient and try to tinker with that … well, everything gets all messed up.

    “Don’t pray for patience.” Who hasn’t heard that before, amen? It’s almost become an axiom when it comes to prayer, hasn’t it? Some of you, I suspect, believe it and have even advised someone in your family or one of your friends not to pray for patience. I disagree. I pray for patience all ...read more

    Explore the profound depths of God's transformative love. God’s love has the power to change hearts, renew minds, and restore lives. As we delve into the Bible and consider God's Word, may His transformative love grip our hearts and lead us to a deeper understanding of His grace.

    Jesus Anti-Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 16, 2024
     | 734 views

    In John's Gospel, Jesus does something many people find surprising, that of frequently driving away people who claim to be believers in Him. Today we look in depth at those He drove away in John 8, why He did it, and especially how He did it by claiming to be the Great I AM!

    Our move now through the Lenten Season, and to the cross has a purpose: to confront people to make a decision about what they think about Jesus. The TRUE Jesus. This week, we focus on the foolishness of the cross to those who want to accept Him on their own terms. In 1 Cor 1: 18 The word of the ...read more

    "Faith Of Real Life Problems - The Story Of Hannah"

    Every Christian faces real life problems. Just because you accepted Jesus doesn't mean you will be immune to suffering, pain, and trouble in life. In this message we study how Hannah overcame her real life problem.

    “Faith for Real Life Problems” (1 Sam 1:1-2 NIV) "There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. {2} He had two wives; one was called Hannah ...read more

    Part 2: The Refiner's Fire (Divine Refinement And Trust) Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026
     | 48 views

    In the last sermon, we explored the mystery of God's hiddenness. We acknowledged that God is often silent and our hearts cry out for Him to speak. But silence, we learned, does not mean absence. God is hidden from our perception, but not withdrawn from His work.

    Today, we turn to perhaps the most difficult question of all. If God is silent and yet still working, what exactly is He doing? What is the purpose of the silence? Why does God allow us to walk through seasons where prayer seems unanswered, where Scripture feels distant, where we cannot sense His ...read more

    Rejoicing In Our Inheritance, Despite A Horrible Job Market

    As unemployment is still rampant, some of us struggle to make ends meet, needless to say provide an inheritance for our next generation. However, through any frustration and hold-up in life, we are called to REJOICE in our promised inheritance in Heaven.

    Rejoicing in our Inheritance, Despite a Horrible Job Market Sterling C. Franklin Glorious King Jesus Christian Church June 5, 2011 (Sunday) Man, this job market is HORRIBLE!

    Waiting For Glory Series

     | 6,196 views

    As we wait in hope, in the midst of a suffering world, God is at work, bringing us through to the last day when that hope will at last be seen, when hope will no longer be necessary because its fulfillment has come.

    There’s no doubt that being a Christian can be a dangerous thing in our world today. I read recently that there have been around 40 million people who have been put to death for being Christians in the past 2000 years and of those something like 60% have died in the last 100 years. Now that ...read more

    Suffering from an inferiority complex? The same God who is a work in the lives of others desires to make your impossibilities possible. Let’s learn from the early church how to prayerfully encounter the living God!

    Two cows were standing in a field saw a milk truck pass by.

    One of the reasons why God allows the godly to suffer is to answer the blasphemous accusations of Satan and prove throughout the seen but also, the unseen world that man will honor and worship God simply because of who He is.

    All of you parents out there this morning can probably remember many of the enjoyable phases your children went through or are going through. But there is 1 phase which is not always enjoyable. It is the “why” phase. Remember that phase – where they ask “why” after almost every sentence they ...read more

    Overcoming Divisive Attitudes

     | 16,329 views

    Many great congregations have suffered from people with divisive attitudes. The Lord has placed each of us in His body to be lovingly united in spirit, intent on one purpose, striving together for the faith of the gospel.

    Overcoming Divisive Attitudes Illustration:A monk joined a monastery and took a vow of silence. After the first 10 years his superior called him in and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" The monk replied, "Food bad." After another 10 years the monk again had opportunity to voice his thoughts. ...read more

    Forgetting What's Behind. Straining For What's Ahead.

    Contributed by Quintin Marrow on Apr 3, 2001
    based on 37 ratings
     | 9,818 views

    Forsaking all past achievements and human advantages, St. Paul strains ahead to be found in Christ; this striving is by faith, and results in an imputed righteousness from God, a sharing in the sufferings of Christ, Christlikeness and participation in the resurrection of the dead.

    “Forgetting what’s behind. Straining for what’s ahead.” April 1, 2001 The Rev’d Quintin Marrow St. Anne’s Episcopal Church Oceanside, California The Text: Phil. 3:8-14 In sixteenth-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April first. It was celebrated ...read more

    Not neccesarily just an Easter message. Even with all of the wondrous signs that the close followers of Jesus had observed, they were still without understanding of what Jesus had come to do. We suffer much the same.

    For millennia the Jews have suffered oppression, slavery, genocide and many, many more hardships to numerous to list. Yet the Bible records them as being the chosen people. Just what they have been chosen for?
