    The Lord Who Heals You Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 19, 2022
     | 3,645 views

    God heals. He is Jehovah-Rapha. That is the name that God revealed in this passage, the Lord our healer. We see the miracle in the desert where bitter water becomes sweet. Our need is to be healed from spiritual sickness of sin.

    Have you ever heard someone say something like this? I faced a situation in my life where all seemed hopeless from a medical standpoint. But God, in response to prayers of His people, worked a miracle in my life. God healed me! You have likely heard something like that multiple times. What do we ...read more

    Joseph & Mary believed God’s Word and trusted Him. God’s plan for their lives was not an easy one. Though things were difficult, God blessed them. Through their obedience, the world has been blessed.

    A miracle happened on Christmas Day. God stepped into this world. • Jesus Christ, who is God, was born. He was born with a purpose - to save you and me from our sin and give us the hope of eternal life. • This great plan of God was fulfilled because two persons were willing to trust and obey God. ...read more

    Preparing Our Heart And Mind (Part 1) Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,739 views

    The struggles we face as we journey with the Lord are varied and many. None are more difficult that the battles that rage within our minds. If we are to overcome spiritually, we must learn to win this battle from a biblical approach.

    Preparing our Heart and Mind (Part 1) Philippians 4: 4-9 As we walk this Christian journey, we face many challenges that we must overcome in order to obtain spiritual victory. While these challenges are many, coming from a variety of sources, none are greater than the battles we fight within our ...read more

    Love Lifted Me Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 24, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 30,226 views

    Love is an essential character trait for the believer. The Lord loved us, so we are expected to love one another. This is easy preaching, but often a difficult practice. John reveals great truth regarding the love we should possess.

    Love Lifted Me 1 John 4: 11-16 John 13:34-35 – A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. [35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. There can be no doubt that Jesus loved ...read more

    Jesus The Rock Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 24, 2024
     | 1,527 views

    The Old Testament knows God as the Rock. But Jesus is also The rock. He is the only firm foundation to build our lives on. But we need to learn from the ancient Israelites. They were unfaithful and most were destroyed. We must not make the same mistake.

    INTRODUCTION We’re in a series looking at descriptions of Jesus. The Bible is full of descriptions of God the Father, of Jesus, and of the Holy Spirit. Last week, we looked at one of Jesus’ descriptions of himself. He said, ‘I am the good shepherd’ [John 10:11]. We looked at what shepherds were ...read more

    How Does Legalism Get Us Off-Track Spiritually?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 6, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,114 views

    This message uses Saul’s poorly-conceived rule as an example of how our rules can create major problems.

    - This was a difficult passage to find the “interpretive key” for. How Legalism Starts: He made up a rule that made him feel better. - 1 Samuel 14:24. How Those Around Him Responded: They feared the rule, so they tried to live by it. - 1 Samuel 14:26-28. - v. 26 - There was honey that they ...read more

    The Obedience Of Faith Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 5, 2008
     | 3,888 views

    Faith, obedience and patient acceptance of suffering can attract others to the Gospel.

    “If it is you calling, Lord, bid me come to you.” We have all been called by Jesus–usually in a tiny, whispering sound, barely audible above the roar and clamor of our lives. That is why we must take time every day to pray, to listen in silence to the Walker on the waters. But we can’t ever ...read more

    Do you have an eternal perspective like Jesus does? Or are you focused solely on temporal needs like health, prosperity, healing, personal comfort and relationships? That’s where the disciples’ perspective was in our passage. That

    The Gray Areas Of Faith

    Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Apr 19, 2017
     | 8,904 views

    It's not difficult at times living in a world of absolutes, that something is either right or wrong. The challenge comes in the so-called Gray areas, or the subjective areas of our faith. How do we decide what is right or wrong in these areas?

    THE GRAY AREAS OF FAITH ROMANS 14:1 – 14:23 THE PASSAGE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT TODAY, IS ONE THAT MANY PEOPLE FIND CONFUSING. IT’S EASY TO LIVE IN A WORLD OF ABSOLUTES, TO BE ABLE TO SAY THIE IS RIGHT AND THAT IS WRONG. WHY, BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS SO. BUT HERE PAUL MAKES US ASK THE QUESTION IS ...read more

    We are on a journey that began the day we received Jesus into our hearts and that will continue until the day we arrive in Heaven. This pilgrimage is, at times, a wonderful thing. At other times, it is difficult. Yet all the time, it is a pilgrimage that

    Theme: The Commitment to a Life of Faith Text: Genesis 12: 4-9 Introduction A. Last week we have learned that out of Abram’s miserable spiritual condition God called him to live his life in faith. This gives us the truth that indeed, no one is beyond the touch of God. He is able to come where we ...read more

     | 28,556 views

    This short powerful passage provides insight into Jesus' motivation for advancing the training of His disciples to the next level or on to ministering to people in teams. The reason is Jesus' compassion for the masses. Jesus saw beyond the physical broken

    MATTHEW 9: 35-38 COMPASSION MOVES TO ACTION [Ezekiel 34:1-6] Jesus saw beyond the physical brokenness to the deeper tragedy of lives lived without spiritual purpose or direction.This short powerful passage provides insight into Jesus' motivation for advancing the training of His disciples to the ...read more

    Contributed by John Bishop on Mar 25, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,651 views

    Staying on fire for God can be one of the most difficult things we do. Pastor John Bishop talks to us about the Church at Laodicea and how we can maintain the joy of our salvation and share it with the rest of the world.

    PRAYER: Father, I pray that You’d bring our faith back to life. That the parts of our faith that have kind of become ’flat-lined’, this apathetic sort of indifference, that’s so affected us and it’s affected the people around us. And I pray in the name of Jesus, by the power and blood of Jesus, ...read more

    Strength For All Occasions Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 9, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,787 views

    In difficult times followers of Christ are assured of Strength and Resources as needed. Believers can live in peace and contentment when they know the two assurances in Philippians 4:13 and 19. Those verses provide foundation for biblical OPTIMISIM.

    Our text today provides a sure foundation for optimism. Christians should be the most optimistic people on the face of the earth. I’m not talking about a Polly Anna avoidance of the challenges. I’m talking about a deep confidence that nothing can happen that is beyond God’s all-sufficiency. I’m ...read more

    The Blessing Of Work Series

     | 9,826 views

    Labor Day: Work was ordained by God in the beginning and was intended to give us a level of satisfaction and purpose. This topical message looks at some prominent Bible passages on work to see how work is a blessing.

    I wish to begin with an illustration: “On one occasion, Thomas Edison came home very exhausted from an extended season of work. His wife insisted that he needed some rest, so she suggested a vacation. Edison mulled it over but wasn’t sure where he should go. His wife said, ‘Just decide where you ...read more
