    The importance of not being consumed by worldly desires and self-absorption, but instead focusing on the love of God and doing His will.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters. We're diving deep into the Word today with a passage from 1 John 2:15-17. You know, it's easy in our modern world to get sucked into a self-absorbed lifestyle where our focus is all about us, our wants, our needs, and our desires. But John warns us against this ...read more

    This sermon explores the importance of trusting in God's wisdom and guidance, rather than relying on our own understanding and desires.

    Good morning, friends. We gather here today, hearts open, minds eager. We're here to talk about trust. Trust in God. A simple phrase. A big idea. It's not always easy. Sometimes, it's the hardest thing we can do. But it's important. It's vital. G.K. Chesterton once said, "The riddles of God are ...read more

    During His first visit, the people of Decapolis desired Jesus to depart from them. When He returned, they were glad to see Him, and desired healing. They declared: He has done all things well. No doubt our Lord does all things well.

    Doing all Things Well Mark 7: 31-37 In our text today we find Jesus on a journey, making His way from the Gentile cities of Tyre and Sidon to the Sea of Galilee. He had taken a route that brought Him through the region of Decapolis on the east side of Galilee. This is the same region where Jesus ...read more

     | 6,980 views

    Christ, while facing His crucifixion, offered a prayer to the Father for His disciples as well as you and I that ends showing Christ' desire for us to be forever with Him in Glory someday. His prayer is a beautiful reminder of His love for us and a desire for us to do well.

    THE PRAYER OF OUR SAVIOR John 17 Text- John 17:9 INTRODUCTION Looking at our text, it is important that we understand what is occurring during this time in the life of Christ as well as what his disciples are about to encounter in their walk. It is important to understand that this is potentially ...read more

    Receiving Treasure In Heaven

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,169 views

    Our treasure on earth eclipses our desire for "treasure in heaven." Only God can give us a desire for "treasure in heaven." Therefore, we must forsake our treasure on earth and follow Jesus to receive "treasure in heaven."

    You will notice how this passage begins. We are told that Jesus ‘was setting out on his journey’ (v. 17). And we know where that journey will lead. It will take Jesus to Jerusalem, where a cross awaits Him. He has already foretold His death twice in recent days, and He will speak of it again—in ...read more

    Sometimes, the most detrimental thing God can do is to grant us our desires. The prodigal son's journey to a 'far country' symbolizes a place that first exists in our hearts. This journey and his eventual return home teaches us about the dangers of desire and the power of forgiveness.

    Today, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Sons, which is the third story in a series of parables told by Jesus. This parable, along with the stories of a lost coin and a missing sheep, teaches us important lessons about God's love and forgiveness. Let us dive into the story and uncover its ...read more

    How To Live By The Spirit's Leading: The Spirit Vs. The Flesh In Galatians 5-6 Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 5, 2024
     | 975 views

    If you do allow the Holy Spirit to lead your life, then you naturally won’t want to gratify the desires of the flesh. But, if you allow the flesh to lead your life, then you will naturally begin to gratify the desires of the flesh. Live by the Spirit's leading!

    I recall an episode of Star Trek Voyager that always hit me very hard. It was called Timeless. The Voyager was a spaceship that had ended up far, far from home, and it was slowly making it’s way back through unknown territory. It reminds me of us, as Christians, lost in the wilds of this fallen ...read more

    New Year 2023: Ask, And It Will Be Given To You!

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jan 8, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,571 views

    Some argue that we don't need to express our desires to God because He already knows what we want without us saying it. Some think that without asking, God will give us what we need. What does the Bible teach about expressing our wishes to God or asking God to provide us with our desires?

    What are your hopes and wishes for 2023? Some hope this year will be healthier or no new diseases will emerge. Some hope to meet God soon because of their old age and weaker body condition. Like Tante Christine, she expressed her desire to move on from life in this world during our visit. On Dec. ...read more

    “Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” Matt 20:26-28.

    Theme: Achieving greatness God’s way Text: Ex. 12:21-28; Matt. 20:20-28 The purpose for Christ’s coming to earth is contained in the statement, “The Son of man came to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many”.

    “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” Mat. 16:24-25.

    Theme: Take up your cross daily and follow Christ Text: Jer. 20:7-9; Rom. 12:1-2; Mat. 16:21-27 An important question we all need to ask ourselves is how a person becomes a Christian and what is expected of Christians?
