     | 3,849 views

    While there are many decisions that occupy our mind, many of these are decisions with temporary results. There are other decisions that are too often given lesser attention that have permanent, eternal results.

    Those who play chess know that decisions made early in the game may very well have an irreversible effect on the outcome of the game. Decisions have lasting results. Too often those who make a decision to sample some drugs at the urging of another over time become addicted to drugs. Decisions have ...read more

    God sent Christ to fulfill the law, and he now allows us to satisfy it through our identification with him.

    Romans 7:1-13 Introduction: A. Do you ever wish they had consulted you before making a particular law? B. For example, the area you are driving through is posted 45 mph because it is a residential zone, but there are only three houses throughout the entire area? C.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,966 views

    When the sermon is hot it talks about one’s sin, it makes known one’s need, and it builds up one’s hope.

    Title: “When the Sermon is Hot” Text: Psalms 39:3 Focus: “…then spake I with my tongue…” When the sermon is hot it talks about one’s sin, it makes known one’s need, and it builds up one’s hope. No one is exempt from having to deal with issues in life. I really don’t have a definition for issues, ...read more

    The Search For A Queen (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 17, 2021
     | 2,886 views

    As chapter two of Esther continues, we see more of the sovereignty of God revealed. Although it appeared His people had been forsaken, God had a plan and would use Esther to help bring about its fulfillment. Sovereignty is an attribute that brings peace and comfort to believers.

    The Search for a Queen (Part 2) Esther 2: 10-18 We have learned that due to her refusal to accommodate the king’s ridiculous demands, Vashti had been removed from her position as queen. After some time had passed, the king’s advisors developed a plan to locate and crown a new queen. The plan ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 24, 2016
     | 6,300 views

    Life is often difficult, even for the strongest believer. It is easy to focus on the trials we endure instead of the Lord. While we are unable to fully comprehend all our Lord is, our faith is increased as we look at Him by faith.

    A Compelling Conclusion (Part 2) 1 John 5: 13-21 As we continue to consider the closing words of John in his first epistle, we are mindful of the many difficulties and obstacles the early church faced. John has dealt with false doctrine, the spirit of antichrist, personal sin, and the great need ...read more

    Challenged In The Temple Series

     | 7,168 views

    As Jesus entered the Temple for the second time during Passion Week, He immediately met opposition. The chief priests, scribes, and elders had conspired against Him. As we strive to serve the Lord, the enemy will bring opposition against us too.

    Challenged at the Temple Mark 11: 27-33 Our text today continues to follow Jesus through what is commonly referred to as Passion Week. He had triumphantly entered Jerusalem and returned the next day to cleanse the temple. Again, for the third day in a row, Jesus had returned to Jerusalem and ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 21, 2016
     | 6,193 views

    Paul was passionate about the church. He had developed a personal relationship with them and knew their needs and concerns. Pastors, and those within the church, can glean much from the Apostle in this passage. We need the commitment and passion he had.

    Passionate about the Church Philippians 4: 1-3 In order to effectively lead a congregation of believers, the pastor must have a burden for the people within the congregation, while developing personal relationships with them. Paul understood this principle of leadership and provided a great ...read more

    A Godly Perspective On Wisdom And Strength

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,295 views

    The true definition of wisdom and strength does not come from the world, but from God, whose foolishness is wiser than mans, and whose weakness is stronger than the strength of men.

    Paul spends time defending his ministry. Evidently there were eminent "super-apostles (2 Cor 12:11), who were sharp in every way. Paul was unimpressive and even contemptible in comparison. These other leaders apparently had letters of commendation (2 Cor 3) which was impressive, they ...read more

    When I Feel Alone Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 30, 2020
     | 7,815 views

    Social isolation is not the only cause of loneliness, there are many situations which cause us to feel alone. Jesus identifies with our loneliness and his sovereign grace gives us the ability to move beyond feelings of loneliness to a place of identity and purpose.

    Jesus Is Still Sovereign Psalm 68:5-6 When I Feel Alone In these past 5 weeks have you said one of these phrases more regularly. “I feel isolated.” “I want to connect.” “I need other people.” “I feel alone.” There is no doubt that the situation we are faced with at the moment has caused a greater ...read more

    There are so many things about me that I do not understand, but behind everything in me is God, the master artist, at work. The great joy of my life is discovering what it means to be a part of the Bride of Christ. Celebrating that truth every day.

    The Attributes Of Christ’s Bride - 3 Proverbs 31:10-31 To really understand a great piece of art you need to know the artist.
