     | 1,762 views

    In light of all that is going on in this world and in our personal challenges, we have a choice, we can either just survive or thrive. You can try to handle life on your own or be like a tree planted by streams of living water.

    God had called Jeremiah to preach the truth and prophesy to Israel and Judah at a time when people were abandoning the Lord God, His Word & His precepts. God’s people had been engaged in pagan religions and practices, idol worship (which speaks of worshiping an image or fantasy) and this turned ...read more

     | 1,597 views

    On this third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday), we change from penitence to rejoicing for what is to come.

    John 1:6-8, 19-28 The shortest and darkest day and longest night of the year – the Winter Solstice – occurs this week. It is the onset of the winter season when the sun is the furthest from Earth and is often a time of darkness, doubt, and fear. And yet, Sunday is Gaudete Sunday - a beloved day ...read more

    Sometimes what looks bad is actually working for our good. Would Hannah have ever prayed thru to receive Samuel if there had not been a Peninnah provoking her?

    IF NOT FOR PENINNAH 1 Sam. 1:1-28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: CREATION DIALOG 1. During the Creation, God visited with one of his angels. He said, “Do you know what I’ve just done? I’ve just created 24 hours of alternating light and darkness on Earth. Isn’t that good?” 2. The angel said, “Yes, ...read more

     | 1,924 views

    1 of 1. The prophet Isaiah noted an 'environment' in Israel, where an absence of God’s righteous people went unnoticed. The absence of God’s righteous people can go unnoticed by secular society. When/Why/How does an absence of God’s righteous go unnoticed?

    “AND NO MAN TAKES IT TO HEART”—Isaiah 57:1-2 Attention: Have you ever bought something from the grocery store, only to discover later, that there is something missing from your purchase?

     | 1,986 views

    Today we will spend time with the prophet Jeremiah - the weeping prophet - as he reminds us that God is not through - even when the times appear to be dark. He writes in a bleak time for God’s people.

    A Season of Promises The Promise of His Coming Jeremiah 33:6-18 Introduction This month we will be focused on the season - season of promises. Many faith families regard this time of year as Advent - a time to slow down and experience the season of expectation as we wait. Advent calls us to ...read more

    What Is Our Purpose. Series

    Contributed by Louis Mare on Jan 6, 2023
     | 2,905 views

    Like God called John to a specific purpose—before birth and before he could qualify himself for the task—He calls us to spread His story of salvation to the world—even when we don’t feel capable of doing the job.

    You know, I do think we all have a purpose on this earth. The reason we have skills and talents, and passions are so that we can serve the greater community, earn a living, and also live life. I have seen in my own life that sometimes we hit this mid-life crisis scenario where we question our ...read more

    Jesus chose twelve ordinary men to proclaim His Gospel message. It was not the Pharisees, rabbis, priest or scribes that He chose but ordinary men. If Jesus chose the weak of this world to shame the strong don't be surprised when He comes calling you!

    Twelve Ordinary Men Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Even before the beginning of time the sovereign plan was for Jesus to be born, live amongst us and die for our sins (1 Peter 1:20). This had to be done for without atonement, God’s righteous wrath (Romans 6:23) would ...read more

    In order to have true transformation, we are called to speak truth with boldness to guide our flock to an effective walk, where He is expecting believers to accept their calling and wear the requirement at all times vs. when it suits them.

    I thank God for all that He is doing in my life, and in the lives of His people. I am thankful for all of God’s messengers here in service today. It is truly an honor to have you here today. As I labored on the Word for today, God communicated that He is calling for true transformation--a ...read more

    In Paul's "to live is Christ, to die is gain," we learn a new boldness, a singlemindedness, and a fearless approach to death when God brings it. We can serve God fully with yearning expectation for the life to come.

    Philippians 1:21-26 Living with One Foot in Eternity Over the next four weeks, we’ll look at the tiny New Testament book of Philippians. It’s actually a letter the Apostle Paul wrote around 61 AD to the church in Philippi. Paul wrote from prison in Rome, probably during his first imprisonment, ...read more

    The first call of prophet Zechariah was a call not to repeat the mistake of their forefathers and return to God while they still can. Now that they have returned to their homeland, they are to stay faithful to God.

    Zechariah is not an easy book to read and understand, but we will try and learn together over these few months. God has important words for His people. • It’s difficult because God speaks not only to the present situation in Judah (with the people now engaging in rebuilding the Temple) but also ...read more
