    Jesus is anointed to preach good news to the poor, heal broken hearts, comfort those who mourn, set the captives free, give beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

    VISITATION #4: JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE ANOINTED ONE WHAT IS THE VISITATION? “Through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us.” (Luke 1:78). • Visit: “to look upon or after, to inspect, examine with the eyes in order to see how he is; to visit; to look ...read more

    How To Handle Temptation

    Contributed by Chad Bolfa on Oct 1, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,326 views

    Temptation comes in many forms; we are tempted not to tell the truth, to take something that does not belong to us, to take advantage of someone, to gossip, to over eat, to hold a grudge, or to withhold from the Lord that which rightfully belongs to him.

    How to Handle Temptation James 1:13-18 Introduction Do you struggle with temptation? I heard of someone who said, “I don’t struggle with temptation, I just give in to it!” That is not the answer! But the fact is, there isn’t a day that goes by that we are not tempted in ...read more

    Arrogant Branches? Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Oct 4, 2010
     | 5,662 views

    If we believe in Jesus Christ and His church, then we are to continue to depend and be spiritually nourished by Jesus Christ and nothing else.

    Let me start with a question. Can a person become a citizen of the United States then ignore, even hate, the founding fathers of this country?? It’s happening now isn’t it? Because of secular humanism, which started with Darwin in the early 1900s, and because the word “God” can not be found in ...read more

    The Peace That Overcomes Worry

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,319 views

    The peace that makes our hearts kind and gentle, the peace that overcomes worry, and the peace that protects us from our own fleshly failings and the devil’s lies.

    Intro What an experience it must have been to be in the Old Testament Church. There you are in the Temple. Gold sparkles in the sun. Finely polished wood enamors the eye. Rich tapestries, exquisite engravings, and flawlessly hewn stone make up the Temple of God. And just as memorable must ...read more

    Remembering Back To The Apostles

     | 4,313 views

    We remember for a reason. If we lose apostolic doctrine, we lose Jesus Christ.

    Intro Alzheimer’s is a memory-destroying disease. Yet, this disease isn’t merely content to take away a victim’s memory; it tries to take down an entire family with it. When one person in the family has lost his memory, the others have to pick up the slack. The family has to do ...read more

    A Virgin Will Conceive

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,226 views

    Like Ahaz before us, we don’t want a sign from God--at least a sign that leaves God running the show. What Ahaz did on the outside, we do on the inside. We like things just the way they are, if it leaves us in charge.

    Intro Isaiah’s prophecy of the Virgin giving birth was a sign against King Ahaz. It’s also a sign against us, all fallen humanity. Ahaz was a young Israelite man gone bad. He was of David’s line, but not of David’s faith. And he had become king of the Southern kingdom of Israel, Judah. Ahaz ...read more

    Because our God is generous we never have to worry about the things we need for this life of the next.

    Thanksgiving is traditionally a time to make a list of things that we are thankful for. I want to make another list this morning – a list of things that you are afraid of. What would be on that list? Are you afraid of the dark? Sickness? Being alone? Rejection? Math tests? Public speaking? Spiders? ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 21,495 views

    In the Parable of the Persistent Widow, Jesus was training and preparing His disciples to “watch and pray.” Jesus was teaching His faithful about faith in Him, and the life of prayer, which flows from such faith.

    Intro Jesus told His disciples a parable that they should always pray and not lose heart. Jesus was training and preparing them for when they would no longer see Him walk the earth but would, instead, have to “watch and pray.” Jesus was teaching His faithful about faith in Him, and ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,424 views

    One of the greatest blessings is when God works through you. One of the greatest dangers is when God works through you. Learn how to avoid the penetrating gaze of the Lord and simply rejoice in His work through you.

    What’s the hottest thing you’ve ever been close to? I remember once being near a log deck fire that was so hot that it was melting the asphalt under my feet. I’ve seen the effects of intense heat and fire reduce a full house to a pile of ashes and a chimney, with things melted in ...read more

    Lesson 9: Sin In The Church Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 8, 2010
     | 3,868 views

    Handling sin in the church has become very difficult from both angles - in our PC world much bad behavior is actually celebrated, but Christians are also wounding each other over weakness instead of supporting and helping. We'll try to walk the fine line

    In Chapter 5 we move from pride of surface appearance over internal substance to pride over major sin in the body. It's issue two on Paul's mind as he writes to the Corinthians. It's a tough subject—sin in the church. This chapter can easily be misconstrued in several ways and I want to try ...read more

     | 5,805 views

    Genesis 9 is an important “FIRST” in the Bible. In this chapter, God ordains the second sphere of oversight for controlling human behavior. The first sphere that God ordained was in Genesis 1. It is the Family. The second sphere is found here in Genes

    Sermon Notes November 6, 2011 Human Government - God’s Restraint for a Sinful World Genesis 9:4-11 There is a great debate in the U.S. concerning the role of Government. It is seen in slogans being promoted such as, “Everyone must pay their fair share...” “Universal ...read more

    Deuteronomy 15:4, 7-8,10-11 Luke 4:14-21 Recently I read an article about a church in California that has adopted its local high school, the roughest in a rough city. Now what do I mean by “adopted”? You see, 40 percent of the students at Centennial High School in Compton, ...read more
