    This sermon kicks off a new series on Building God's House within each believer. Today we're looking at building God's house by faith.

    Building God’s House “Building a Life of Faith” Hebrews 11 The other week, one person suggested I do a series on the three pillars we adhere to at Living Waters Fellowship. One of our pillars is that of discipleship, which we call, “Building Up The House of God Within Each Person.” This got me ...read more

    Full lives. Full social calendars. Full houses. But if we are honest, most of us are also full of famine! Why?

    Famine Pt. 3 - Refusing Rations I. Introduction I have challenged you to examine your own level of passion, pursuit and hunger for God. I told you that I believe we as a movement - Christianity - we are in the midst of a famine. However, I want to tell you that I believe the famine has come to ...read more

    Elijah met the Widow of Zarephath just as she was preparing to eat her last supper. It's a wonderful story of God's provision if we would only learn to trust him.

    Getting Ready for the Last Supper Sunday, March 13, 2011 PM By Pastor James May If there’s one prophet of the Old Testament that I love reading about it has to be Elijah. Here was a real man of faith and of power; at least most of the time. Like all the rest of us, Elijah had a few ups ...read more

    What Brings A Smile To God's Face?

    A sermon in the character of an observer who was seeing the events that unfolded in Mark 12:38-44, where he see the difference between the religious rulers and the widow, and we explore not only what this means for us but what this story reveals about God.

    I will never forget that day. I was sitting near the back waiting to worship and out of the corner of my eye I could the one everyone was talking about. This is the one who was challenging some of the religious authorities, not with violence but with love and something called grace. And there ...read more

    Practical implications of our new birth.

    DOERS, NOT HEARERS ONLY. James 1:22-27. We must be careful that we are “doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving our own selves” (James 1:22). Having heard and received, we must then put the word into action in our lives. Good works do not make us Christians, but Christians will do good ...read more

    The Jesus Of The Word Of God Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 17, 2025
     | 674 views

    Try as we might, we can't make Jesus into just anything we want Him to be. If we would meet, follow and worship the real Jesus, we must understand that He is the Jesus of the Bible, the Living Word of God, for to believe anything else will result in wasted worship.

    “You don’t get your own personal Jesus!” In spite of what a recent “He gets us” television ad says, that’s the emphatic title of a little booklet written by popular east-coast Baptist Pastor J. D. Grear. He confesses that he first said it, actually yelled it in the middle of a television ...read more

    Elimelech takes a spiritual short-cut that ultimately leads to Naomi becoming a widow in a foreign land. Short cuts never work out.

    Message Ruth 1:1-5 “A Dead-End Short Cut”. We have all done it haven’t we. You’re driving to a specific destination and someone says, “I know a shortcut!” Do you really? Often your first instinct is to stick with what you know, stay on the regular path. But sometimes you think, “Why not?” Why ...read more

    Why Does The Government Do More Than The Church To Help The Poor? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2015
     | 5,483 views

    This passage on the care of widows opens up a larger question: what's the place the church should have in the care of the poor (versus the place the government should have)?

    THE POINT OF THE PASSAGE: Taking care of the needy widows was a big deal in the early church. - There was a different societal structure and a lack of social safety net back then. The church stepped in to help. - Unpack some of the passage. - The passage raises a more general question: why ...read more

    While Israel and world awaits the building of the Third Temple we must realize that the true temple is a spiritual house that each of those who are born again are living stones that make up the House of God.

    THE THIRD TEMPLE By Pastor Jim May 1 Peter 2:5-10 We are living in a time when all of those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord are watching the events of this world and wondering just how close we are to that day when we shall all be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. ...read more

    Who's In Control?

     | 26,103 views

    The text concerns David’s desire to build a temple "house" for God, and God’s response that God will build David’s house. We often try to control God, but God is in control, not us.

    Who’s in control? David has come a long way from being a shepherd boy in Bethlehem and the youngest of 8 sons to being the king of Israel, who reunited the northern and southern Kingdoms, established the capital at Jerusalem, and moved the ark of the covenant into the city. He ...read more
