    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Feb 14, 2014
     | 4,952 views

    What occurs when we do what Jesus says, when we put his words into practise? Kingdom stuff, dynamic live changing things occur as we respond and are empowered by the Spirit of God!

    Fruit and Foundations: Luke 6:43-49 The Lord’s Prayer ‘“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our sins,, as we also have forgiven those who ...read more

    How To Get Out Of Babylon

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 29, 2010
    based on 17 ratings
     | 37,189 views

    Babylon is more than a ancient land mentioned in the Bible. Babylon is anywhere we as believers don't belong. It is being held captive by the devil.

    INTRODUCTION: The sentiment of the Israelites during this difficult time in their history is summed up there in the fourth verse. "How shall we sing the Lord's song in this strange land?" In other words, we really don't belong here in Babylon. We are aliens here. We are refugees here. We are ...read more

    Unable To Be Silenced Series

     | 7,905 views

    The disciples were bold in their witness to what Jesus Christ had done. Attempts by the authorities to silence them failed. God had called them to be his witnesses and they could not keep silent.

    Acts 5:27-32 “Unable to be Silenced” INTRODUCTION There are times that the courage of others amazes us. Recently I viewed the movie, “The Hurt Locker.” It is a story about the war in Iraq. I was amazed and humbled by the courage of the soldiers who were portrayed in ...read more

    The Consequences Of Obeying Or Disobeying God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 19, 2015
     | 10,525 views

    God always plans things so that we will have the chance to witness about Jesus. We have to be open to these chances. We must always be ready to witness about Jesus. To do so, we must be familiar with God's Word.

    The readings from 1 Samuel 13:5-18 and Acts 8:26-40 are interesting studies of contrasts. The contrast is the consequences of disobeying God verses the consequences of obeying God. The reading from 1 Samuel 13:5-18 shows what happens when we disobey God. King Saul was told to wait and let the ...read more

    Turn And Live

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 30, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,910 views

    Today, by turning from sin to God through faith in Jesus Christ, anyone can have a new heart. Salvation is not turning over a new leaf, but receiving a new life.

    Opening illustration: During the past year, cars, trucks, tires, window blinds, and toy xylophones have been recalled by their manufacturers. In every case, the message was similar: “This product is defective or dangerous and could cause serious injury or even death. Return it to us and we ...read more

    A Generation Of Spoiled Children

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018
     | 6,257 views

    As a church body of believers separated to God we have rejected God’s call to repentance collectively just as Israel as a nation has rejected Jesus as Messiah. We have gotten comfortable with our sin. So much so we don’t even call it sin anymore.

    A Generation of Spoiled Children Matthew 11:16-30 Have you ever tried to please a group of children by suggesting they all pick out just one game or one activity to do together? Some of you may be dealing with this as part of your daily life and others may have to go back to your babysitting ...read more

    Where’s The Bench?

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 1, 2022
     | 1,321 views

    One of God’s biggest problems with the church is complacency. It has been a problem in every age. One of biggest the problems of complacency is wanting someone else to do it.

    WHERE’S THE BENCH? Texts: Matthew 7:26 & James 1:22 Matthew 7:26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand (NRSV). James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves (NRSV). ...read more

    We need to be led by the Spirit and not resist his leading.

    STEPHEN THE MARTYR Text: Acts 7:51-60 Introduction 1. Illustration: The author, Antonio Socci, claims the untold story of the 20th century is the murder of 45 million Christians, mostly at the hands of communist and Islamic regimes, and that massacres continue to this day.

    An Exposition Of 1 Peter, Part 10: The Perils Of Unbelief

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Dec 10, 2021
     | 1,294 views

    The perils of unbelief apply to those in the church as well as those without.

    An Exposition of 1 Peter, part 10: The Perils of Unbelief 1 Peter 2:7-8 Introduction We continue today in our study on 1 Peter. As a way of reminder, we remember that Peter addresses the topic of persecution of the believers. But to use the word “topic” we are greatly understating things. It is a ...read more

    We Must Obey God Rather Than Men

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 16, 2022
     | 2,290 views

    Where does obedience to the command of men stop and obedience to God begin?

    We must obey God rather than Men Acts 5:26-33 Sometimes, the Scripture seems to put us in quite a dilemma. Peter’s response in the passage we just read shows that Peter’s response to the High Priest’s charge that the Apostles had disobeyed the strict prohibition of the Sanhedrin that they should ...read more

    "your Spiritual Nineveh Awaits You."

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Sep 28, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 657 views

    Just as the biblical figure Jonah was summoned to the city of Nineveh to deliver a message of repentance, today's spiritual Nineveh represents a population that may lack understanding or awareness of moral and ethical principles.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Jonah 1:1-4) (1) “Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,” (2) “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.” (3) “But ...read more

    Faith + Obedience Moves God

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 21, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,713 views

    This message is about how our obedience to God impacts (grows) our faith without which it is impossible to please God.

    Faith + Obedience Moves God Scripture: Matthew 17:20-21; First Samuel 15:1-9; 19-22; Luke 5:1-11 I started out in life as a child. I started off as a small baby and grew into what I am today. I came into this world with some things already within me, things that may have given my parents many ...read more

    Getting On God's Agenda

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 16, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,749 views

    God’s agenda is to give freedom to the oppressed, and He will not be stopped. But our disobedience can frustrate Him. The church needs to get on God’s agenda quickly.

    A little book called “Kids’ Letters to Pastors” provides some fertile ground this morning for us to begin thinking about getting on God’s agenda. You see, you and I know the words we are supposed to say, whether we mean them or not. But kids say what they think, without editing. And so I suspect ...read more

    Enemy Is Left As A Test Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 30, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,659 views

    Because Israel persisted in disobedience, God decided to allow the nations to remain in the land as the means to chastise His people, and to test Israel and to train succeeding generations for war.

    Chapter 11 Enemy Is Left as a Test [Judges 2.20–3.4] Scripture 20 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; 21 I also will not henceforth ...read more

    God's blessings are trying to overtake his people. Are we allowing those blessings to come into our lives or are we turning those blessings into curses through disobedience?

    Chased By God’s Blessings Sunday, November 14, 2010 – AM By Pastor James May Our God has many characteristics. He is so great, in so many ways, that he is truly greater than our ability to fully discover just how great he really is. Only when we receive that glorified body, with ...read more
