    Grace, peace, blessing, keeping. God desires wonderful things for His faithful people! Blessing is a term that gets misused a lot - this sermon explores what it really means.

    Have you ever noticed how the apostle Paul opens every one of his letters by wishing his readers “grace and peace”? It is also present in both of Peter’s letters, one of John’s and Revelation. When they said, “grace and peace” these Biblical writers were not merely using a polite form of words to ...read more

    based on 35 ratings
     | 5,057 views

    The Apostle John paints a beautiful picture of God’s desire for mankind pertaining to their salvation through the LORD Jesus Christ standing at the door of the sinner’s heart and knocking.

    “WHO’S KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR?” Revelation 3:20 1. Christ’s Sobering POSITION/PATIENCE.

    When we look upon the goodness and wisdom that Christ offers we should desire to be like Him and not just give Him lip service like the Queen of Sheba.

    A passionate pursuit of righteousness (being right with God, right with other people, right in the pirnciples we live by) results in the fulfillment and lasting happiness we all desire.

    Spiritual Appetite Matthew 5:6 2-8-04 Intro Last week we found in Psalm 1 a picture of true happiness. We found it as we saw the contrast between two metaphors. A life without God was illustrated by chaff, which the wind blows away. A life rooted in God was portrayed as a tree planted by the ...read more

    The Real Issue

     | 4,282 views

    At times the church can be focused on too many "issues" and its desire to prove itself right. But what should we really be focused on? What is The Real Issue?

    John 5:37-39 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These ...read more

Then came the honeymoon, the couple went to their hotel room After they unpacked their bags the groom took his bride by the hand sat her on the bed and said, "Honey, I hope you won’t mind, but now that we’re married I tho’t I’d ...read more

    I want the church to grow because God desires that it grows but I may not want any of my family members who will take the spotlight away from me.

    I received this idea from my mentor Jerrie Barber. I Want the Church to Grow – But Do I Want Anymore People #7 Philippians 2:1-8 For the last six weeks we have been looking at Church growth and some of the things that we do to sabotage that growth.

A Lingayat is one who wears the Linga, a small spherical object that the Lingayat believes represents God. Lingayats are also ...read more

    It is God’s desire to be with man, not separated from him. From Genesis to Revelation, He sought to be with man. This is His most frequent promise in the Bible. Are you willing to be with Him?

    Matt 1:22-23 Immanuel – God With Us 28 Dec 2008 1796 There are many names given to Jesus in the Bible. • Each one gives us a clearer & fuller picture of who He is and what He means to us. • His name JESUS means “God saves!” He is God’s salvation for us. • He is the Messiah, the Christ, meaning ...read more

    Like father, like son. Yes it is true; however, we know that God supplies grace to break generational curses. Jesus desires us to be God’s children.

    Who’s Your Daddy? Three of every 10 births in the U. S. were to unwed mothers, according to a new report to Congress commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Services. Out-of-wedlock childbearing is on the rise for adults as well as teenagers, and for women of all races. One social ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,861 views

    It is easy to be faithful with little hoping to "graduate" to the big but God’s desire is that we would be faithful with little for the sake of the little, trusting and growing closer to Him with correct motives.

    Faithful with little Lk.16:10 - Faithful with little. 
 Ministry relevance - 1 Cor. 4:2 (minister must be found faithful) and 1 Tim.1:12 (We’ve been found faithful so He has put us in ministry), Pr.11:3 (Erin will read).

    Abiding In Perfect Love

     | 5,846 views

    It is the desire of the heavenly Father for His people always to experience the full inheritance of His covenant love and mercy. The Apostle John calls such a place of attainment in God “perfect love”.

    It is truly amazing to think of the mercy and forbearance that God bestows upon sinners. Undoubtedly, the Lord has the power to cut off our very existence. The Scripture affirms, “Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust” (Psalm ...read more
