    Mother’s Day Message for the busy mom.

    CHOOSING THE BEST Luke 10:38-42 I realize that today’s woman has no easy task. I know that more appliances and conveniences are placed within the home with the goal of making the household chores easier. Things have certainly changed from the time that I was a child. There were no micro-wave ...read more

    Painting a picture of a passionate God who pursues us.

    Have you ever really wanted something? I mean wanted it to the point that you were convinced that you couldn’t be happy without it. Maybe someone else had it and they looked happy and you were convinced that this thing was the key. You had to have it. I can remember a few times in my life where ...read more

     | 30,996 views

    It seems to me that God is doing 4 things. Now, I'm sure He is doing much more than that. But in regards to the church it seems there are 4 things God is doing that have great impact on the church today.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK I think that there is nothing more exciting than discovering what God is doing in our world today. But I don't want just to hear about what God is doing, or to read about it in some ...read more

     | 6,119 views

    Sermon 3 in series. At a banquet with His disciples, Jesus tells of another banquet. One of the diners blurts forth, "Blessed is he that will eat bread in the kingdom." His assumption is that he will be present in the kingdom. Jesus takes the opportunity

    The provocation of Hannah by her rival Peninnah was designed by God, to press her towards her victory

    If not for Peninnah 1 Sam 1: 1-10 Introduction First Samuel opens with the story of Elkanah and his family. The Bible says he was from the hill country of Ephraim, he was son of Jeroham and perhaps more importantly, that he had two wives. One was Peninnah, the other was Hannah.

    The different soils in the Parable of the Sower reveal four different "soul" types.

    Sowing the Seed Matthew 13:1-23 Rev. Brian Bill 7/12/09 An 80-year-old grandfather went to his daughter’s house for Sunday dinner.

    Elisha Seeks The Blessing

    Contributed by Colin Coombs on Jun 10, 2007
    based on 31 ratings
     | 13,024 views

    For Elisha to have the ’double-portion’ he desired there was a clear path to follow. There was a preparation to be made, a pryaer to be offered, a promise to be claimed, and the possession of the answer. What a challenge for us today!

    ELISHA SEEKS THE BLESSING THE PATH TO THE DOUBLE-PORTION II Kings 2:1-15 Elisha had travelled with Elijah for a relatively short time, and had seen how the Lord had miraculously worked through Elijah. This must have inspired him to want the same anointing himself, but before Elisha could ...read more

    Pre Marriage Relationships

    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,547 views

    A painfully honest sermon, about developing a Godly pre-marriage relationship, from two people who failed God and had to fall upon His mercy. This was preached by my wife and I.

    Relationships – How to develop a godly relationship We are going to talk about relationships before marriage today. The first thing that I want to say is that we didn’t do everything right. In fact we made a lot of mistakes and had some failures along the way. We want to share some of those ...read more

    Promises To Keep Before I Sleep

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 8, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,032 views

    We find it difficult to keep promises because we are focused on dealing with today’s issues. We back off our commitments to God because they are hard, but we can receive help from accountability partners, and can know joy and fulfillment.

    To be a saint is not to be perfect; to be a saint is to be someone who makes promises and keeps them. Sainthood is not some magic status, conferred by the church for merit or miracles; sainthood is ordinary people living in extraordinary faithfulness, making promises and keeping them. Did you ...read more

    Why Does God Allow Evil? Series

     | 8,701 views

    Why God chooses to allow the existence of evil even though He is good enough and powerful enough to end it.

    Since today is Palm Sunday we’re reminded of the day that the crowds waved palm branches to honor Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem. Waving palm branches was the Jewish custom of honoring a king and for a brief period of time it seemed the people wanted to recognize Christ’s right to reign. ...read more

    Jesus does some cleaning out of the temple to clear out the things that restricted worship of God.

    Spring Cleaning… John 2:13-19 It seems a little strange to me but, it appears to be something that many people have built into their DNA. Mostly women… When the first flowers start to bud out many households enter into spring cleaning mode. Personally, I and many, if not most, men don’t ...read more

    The Garden Of Gethsemane – The Vitality Of Intercession (2/12) Series

    Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Jun 17, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,622 views

    Many don’t know how to pray. Prayer involves more than petition. When times get tough believers must fall to their knees before the throne of mercy with nobody else around. In the most terrifying week of His life Jesus retreated to pray. It was in Gethsemane where He won the victory, not on Calvary!

    Introduction Slide 1 (title of series) For those who missed it, last week we began a 12 week adventure in the life of Jesus as we study what are called “The 12 stations of the cross.” In the last few weeks of the life of Jesus on earth we will study significant places He stopped at and what we can ...read more

    if you will let Grace do what it was designed to do for you... "IT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR WORLD!" If you share it with someone else, it will change theirs as well!

    To trust or not to trust? That's like saying to be or not to be? Or to breathe or not to breathe! If God is involved in the equation, the answer is always the same answer...By all means "TRUST!"
