    The Pouting Prophet Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 3, 2019
     | 8,188 views

    It is sad when someone gets to a place in life where the misery of others brings satisfaction. Rather than desiring repentance and restoration, a desire to see judgment can outweigh compassion.

    The Pouting Prophet Jonah 4: 1-11 We have discovered an interesting journey while studying the book of Jonah. The prophet’s life was filled with several twists and turns after hearing the call to go to Nineveh. Initially making the decision to flee from God, Jonah soon discovered such an endeavor ...read more

    Against The Currents Series

     | 8,907 views

    This is not a PC sermon. There comes a point in the lives of believers when we must speak what God speaks regardless of the consequences. Micaiah did exactly that. He is a hero to us and an example to follow.

    1. People Pleasing The following is reported to be a true story regarding Berkley, CA: In 1990, the Berkeley City Council passed a law changing the name of Columbus Day to Native American Day because Columbus wasn't nice to the Indians.

     | 1,517 views

    Ever wonder exactly what the Holy Spirit does? He has way more tasks than we have ever imagine!

    Who is the Holy Spirit? I think back to my days in Sunday School learning about the Trinity. For me, it was easier to understand the Father and Christ, his Son. They were easy to imagine. Afterall, how many pictures from the Renaissance depicted them. Just look at the Sistine Chapple. But ...read more

    Perfect

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 26, 2024
     | 565 views

    In our quest to behave in a righteous manner in the assembly of God, we must reteach ourselves the true meanings of certain terms we believe we already know. Let us investigate the term PERFECT.

    In our quest to behave in a righteous manner in the assembly of God, we must reteach ourselves the true meanings of certain terms we believe we already know. As cultures change, so do the accepted meanings of terms. Scripture was written into the English language as early as 1611 AD. It was in the ...read more

    The way God made you and me physically, emotionally, and intellectually was His intentional design - I am not an accident or a mistake.

    Do you have a family member or a best friend who has walked with you through nearly every season of your life—your joys and disappointments, your successes and failures? Someone that knows you deeply, accepts you, and remains honest and trustworthy to you can bring a lot of comfort and strength to ...read more

    Jesus presents a clear description of what it is followers are to be like internally and how they are to live outwardly in the Sermon on the Mount

    There was a small town that had been “dry.” A local businessman decided to build a tavern. A group of Christians from a local church were concerned and planned an all-night prayer meeting to ask God to intervene. It was not long afterwards that lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground. ...read more

     | 6,224 views

    Many Christians continue day after day in a much-depleted spiritual condition for the simple reason, they don’t know how to pray.

    Donald Trump published a New York Times bestseller entitled, "The Art of the Deal." In that book, he outlines strategies he developed in mastering the art of negotiation. As a world-renowned dealmaker, Trump’s strategies are well worth investigating. His success in this area makes his book somewhat ...read more

    Judging Character

     | 15,695 views

    We put a lot of priority into the way we look, but God sees on the inside. God values character over appearance, and can rightly help us do the same as we trust him.

    1 Samuel 16:6-13 Judging Character In our western society, we truly value outward appearances. People in America spend thousands and thousands of dollars on face lifts, behind lifts, and everything in between.

    Christian worship is a thankful response to God’s mercy, giving our lives as living sacrifices. It means not following the world but being changed by filling our minds with Scripture to know God’s will.

    “A worshiper who draws near to the Bible” Therefore, brothers and sisters, because God’s mercy is so great, I urge you to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the ...read more
