    Wise Guys Finish First

    In this message I will define the difference between real and false wisdom. There is definitely a shortage of wisdom in our world right now.

    "Real Wisdom VS False Wisdom¡¨ James 4:13-18 If you had the chance to ask for whatever you wanted, what would it be? The OT gives us the story of a man named Solomon. We find the record that Solomon showed his love for God by walking according to God¡¦s law. God rewarded him by coming to him in ...read more

    Today we get to the topic of wisdom. And of all the topics he has discussed, wisdom could be the most important stimulus for spiritual growth. In other words if you plan to grow in the faith it will not happen if you do not first get wisdom.

    A Violent Man Entices And Leads

    To show that GOD shows that we don't need to adapt to the leadership of bad men but continue to serve and be a slave of JESUS not men.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you a leader? No, I'm not. I'm a servant and slave of JESUS, JESUS is my Leader. Where He leads I will follow. Matthew 16:24 (Amplified Bible) Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to be My disciple, let him deny himself [disregard, lose sight of, and ...read more

    Here is a message by Pastor Dre encouraging us to Stir Up the gifts that God has given us.

    Stir It Up - John 6:1-9 John 6:1 Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), Jhn 6:2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick.

    Urgency

    Contributed by David Spiegel on Mar 6, 2015

    The signs of the times are evident. Where is the sense of Urgency that the church should have? Jesus said He is not willing that any should perish, so why are we so comfortable with the idea? Shouldn't we be about the family business of making disciples?

    Make no mistake, we have an “urgency emergency”! I wish I could stand here this morning and say, “Everything is alright”. You can just coast through this life and enjoy it as you live to a ripe old age and be gently laid to rest among family and friends as angels carry you ...read more

    In what ways does God use suffering in the life of a Christian? Maybe this lesson can help you think about how God may work when you are suffering.

    I would like to follow up on the last sermon that I preached on the problem of evil and where I attempted to show why the unbeliever should not be using the idea of evil as an excuse to reject God. In spite of what the unbeliever may think about God or try to accuse Him of, God has a morally ...read more

    I'm not the way I used to be, since the Lord has changed me.

    The change that Jesus brought into Paul’s life is one of the most dramatic narratives and radical transformations of a person that has ever been recorded. The record is that Saul whose name would be changed to Paul was born to a prominent Jewish family in Tarsus – the capital of the Roman ...read more

    This sermon was preached the Sunday morning after the 9/11 attack.

    These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

    The real fountain of youth is the living Word and water, which comes from our Savior Jesus Christ. And through its waters, we reap the benefits of our sufferings and sacrifices for the Lord. We will be free of all pains, age, and corruption when we enter into the kingdom of God.

    Our Everlasting Fountain of Youth Romans 8:18-25 The fountain of youth has been told in stories since medieval times. The Fountain of Youth is a mythical spring that restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. Many have gone on conquests to find this mythical spring of water, ...read more
