    One Plus God Equals Victory

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 27, 2016
     | 5,667 views

    Elijah is an amazing example of what happens when believers pray with authority, when they come to God and ask him to do something that glorifies him.

    Have you ever been in a spiritual battle where you thought that you were on the losing side? Well, you’re not alone. The Bible is full of stories of God’s people and their struggle with spiritual battles. Often they thought that God had abandoned them, when in reality he was always with ...read more

    Take Up Your Cross Series

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 7, 2016
     | 13,180 views

    What are we projecting to other people about our service to the Lord if we are complaining about it instead of having fun while we are doing it? We get hung up when people in the world try to trip us up and slow down our walk to a crawl.

    Take Up your cross Matthew 16:24-27 Years ago I remember hearing a radio broadcast of Dr. James Dobson from Focus on the Family. He was retelling a story about his son Ryan who was about three years old at the time. Little Ryan had gotten up early one morning before his Dad and Mom. He managed ...read more

    Love Does Not Envy

     | 7,425 views

    ENVY is called a “green-eyed-monster” and can be defined as a resentful emotion which "occurs when a person lacks another’s (perceived) superior quality, achievement or possession and wishes that the other lacked it." Oh, but God’s love overcomes all.

    Quotes: “Envy is the art of counting the other fellow’s blessings instead of your own."- Harold Coffin “Envy, after all, comes from wanting something that isn’t yours. But grief comes from losing something you’ve already had.” ― Jodi Picoult "Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the ...read more

    Just as Psalm 9, begins with praise, Psalm 10, begins in despair. Psalm 9, the psalmist was confident of the sure coming of Divine justice; Psalm 10 injustice is rampart and God seems disinterested; however, the psalmist’s walking more by sight than by fa

    The Lord and the Wicked Psalm 10:1-18NKJ Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide in times of trouble? 2 The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised. 3  For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire; He blesses the greedy and ...read more

    Has anybody received a compliment today? Everybody likes a compliment. But what is the greatest compliment that anybody could ever give you? For a Christian, it would be when another person tells you that they see Jesus in you.

    Seeing Jesus In The Good Samaritan Luke 10:30-36 Introduction: 1. Has anybody received a compliment today? Everybody likes a compliment.

    Infant Memorial Funeral

    I prepared this sermon for use in the case of a late term still birth. It can be modified slightly to fit any infant memorial service. These are difficult situations. Much prayer and compassion and humility are advised.

    Parker’s Memorial Message I wonder if perhaps… In fact, this thought has brought a great deal of comfort to me this week… I wonder if recently an angel in heaven opened the book of life and seeing Parker’s name printed within, said “This one is too beautiful to see ...read more

    This sermon is directed at the largest source of hardened hearts, not the outside world, but inside the church walls.

    I) Introduction: What I am about to say may shock you - but I believe it with all my heart: The hardest hearts in this world are not among the ungodly, but among God's people!

    The Great Catholic Et Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 17, 2016

    whenever Catholic theology gives an answer, it usually has the word “et” in it. There is always an add-on, an essential “and.”

    Tenth Sunday After Pentecost 2016 The parable usually called “the Pharisee and the Publican” could just as easily be called “Self-delusion and self-understanding.” But let’s understand that Jesus told this parable to Pharisees, who trusted in themselves that they ...read more

    Jeremiah is called the 'prophet of doom' but his contemporary Habakkuk is 'a prophet of grace'. God IS in control; persevere in the faith.

    Text: Habakkuk 3 verses 17-19 Sermon – The faith to persevere. Habakkuk, his name probably means ‘one who embraces or clings’ lived in Judah towards the end of Josiah’s reign (640-609BC) and his prophecies are generally dated a little before or after the battle of ...read more

    Sometimes people feel like giving up.

    JEREMIAH 20:7-9 “HAS QUITTING EVER CROSSED YOUR MIND?” A) Jeremiah, like many other men who have been tested by suffering, failed God, and then laid blame on the Almighty for his insults and bodily sufferings. * He was being persecuted and mocked by the multitudes.
