    A message thinking about life, death, resurrection & ghosts because that lie the devil has used about Jesus not being really alive but just a ghost must be dispatched back to hell.

    Ghosts Luke 24:36b-48 Perhaps because we hear this Easter story so often we loose some of the power. We loose something of the sense of how fantastic & ridiculous an idea this truly is - Jesus dead now alive. How can that be because dead people stay dead, we all know that to be true don’t ...read more

     | 1,820 views

    Understand that God is a God of peace and unity, not confusion, and we must stand firm in this truth against the enemy's tactics of confusion, knowing that Christ has already won the victory.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters! Today, we're going to dive into a profound truth found in the very heart of 1 Corinthians 14:33, which says, "For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints." This verse is a powerful reminder of God's plan for unity, ...read more

    If you could spend your entire life listening to and obeying your God-given conscience, you could live a perfect life. But the Bible says we have ALL sinned and we fall short of the glory of God. All of us end up with a messed-up conscience.

    INTRODUCTION This is the penultimate message in this series on spurious Bible verses. Next week, we’ll consider the final adage, “To Thine Own Self Be True.” I encourage you to investigate this week and see if you can find the true source of that saying.

    A message about the universal condition of human sinfulness and depravity and how we got to this point, taken from the first 3 chapters of Romans.

    A few moments ago I performed for you a very poor illusion. My attempt was to so distort your perception of reality that you would believe with your mind that I had actually caused the band to disappear. I, however, am not an illusionist. Neither my techniques or presentation were ...read more

    Trusting in His plans

    Susie is one of the most trustworthy people I know; I trust her with my life. Imagine she is in a long line at the bank. The individual behind her is holding $1,000 cash with a completed deposit ticket. This person is obviously anxious and in a hurry, so Susie politely offers to help; “if you are ...read more

    We look good on the outside, but are we pure on the inside?

    Cosmetic Christianity Hab 2:4 KJV We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results. - R. A.

    What Is Our Problem?

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,694 views

    This is our second study in this series. God describes our problem, how we got there and what it does to us. Once we begin to understand the problem and how devastating it is, perhaps we will begin to appreciate the solution.

    We came from God. We were made to be like God. (As we studied last week). So, what is the problem? Genesis, again, holds the answer. Chapter 3 tells the story. Everything God made was good, very good. But then things change. There was this tree and this serpent. God had put Adam and Eve in a ...read more

    Satan's Tactics

    based on 79 ratings
     | 12,409 views

    Satan is no different today than he has ever been; the nature of temptation and sin is really no different. Christians can better fight against evil by going back to Genesis and discovering how Satan operates.

    Satan’s Tactics Do you ever get the feeling that Satan has changed? When I look at how evil our world has become and consider the temptations that people are faced with, I am tempted to say that Satan has changed. I’m tempted to say that the nature of sin has changed. Sometimes it appears ...read more

    God's Purpose (Father's Day 2018)

     | 1,815 views

    The father and son (Tug McGraw and Tim McGraw—- withheld till the end like Paul Harvey’s style) that I speak of this morning are both famous. Though they were separated for many years, it is more than obvious that God’s “purpose” was at work in bringing them together.

    GOD’S PURPOSE Text: Romans 8:28 Our church secretary Paula (at Indian Field UMC) often shares insightful thoughts for the day that come from a daily calendar she has. The one that she shared from May 11, 2018 fits very well with the message for today. It reads… “God’s purpose is greater ...read more

    Are You Of The Truth?

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Nov 22, 2024
     | 695 views

    Truth is the very character and essence of God which makes him trustworthy. The word of God and the incarnate word of God (Jesus) is truth. Truth is absolute and timeless. We cannot bend or twist the truth. It does not change from time to time to fit the circumstances.

    When Jesus stood before Pilate, one of the questions Pilate asked was: ““Are you a king, then!” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” And then in the next verse, ...read more
