    What Does God Know About You? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 4,245 views

    God’s knowledge of you is precise and full proof. He has exact intelligence on you; He’s better than the NSA or the KGB.

    We all want to know who we are. We seek and search and try to “find ourselves.” Many of us have taken personality tests and other assessments. We learn personality inventory lists that tell us we are a lion, a beaver, a competitor, a high “I,” high “D.” We all want to know who we are. But what if I ...read more

    God commanded Joshua to pile up a mound of stones from the bottom of the Jordan river, which God had miraculously dried up, to incite the curiosity of their children and give the parents a chance to witness.

    Today, we launch a new series, Seven Practices of a Healthy Christian. This series fits nicely after talking through Creed for the summer. First, we discussed our creed and now our deeds.

    Jesus Versus Satan Series

     | 3,528 views

    There was a great deal at stake in the desert. Had Jesus lost to Satan here, God’s whole plan to save humanity would have been destroyed.

    Today we conclude a series entitled, The Man Who Won’t Go Away. As we examine Luke 4, we see a telling snapshot of the temptation of Jesus. There is so much in this story that I want to get right to work. And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the ...read more

     | 4,072 views

    I want to change your thinking when it comes to God’s command for one day of rest. I want you to think more about what you are commanded to do rather than what you are not commanded to do.

    We are in a series featuring the Ten Commandments. We began with an overview of the scene when the Ten Commandments were first given in Exodus 19. And now we find ourselves examining the fourth commandment. Today’s Scripture “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, ...read more

     | 2,409 views

    Some pick and choose whom they feel is worthy of fellowship; basing their judgments on a person’s skin color, nationality, or gender. Jesus, however, was careful to give everyone a chance to believe in Him, no matter what their background.

    The apostle Paul once said that “there is no partiality with God” (Romans 2:11); and he also declared, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal 3:28).

    Be Caring To Other Cultures Series

     | 2,993 views

    Jesus had no social prejudice nor felt inconvenienced; therefore, He was able to meet the needs of a woman from another country and different culture. Being spiritually-minded allows us to lower our prejudices towards those who are different.

    Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, once said that “those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs” possess a state of mind that is not common, but essential for right ...read more

    The Mighty Name Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Nov 18, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,678 views

    The name of Jesus is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare; however, His name must not be taken lightly or used inappropriately. Also, Jesus promised to be present in power among His followers whenever they acted in His name.

    When we speak the precious and powerful name of Jesus, it’s not a magic word. We must be wholly submitted to Jesus to use it. - Dean Sherman(1) The name of Jesus is the most powerful weapon in spiritual warfare. Jesus is the Word (Jn 1:1, 14), and by the Word and through His holy name “the ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,212 views

    Satan realizes that the Word of God is a mighty weapon in the “war against demonic terror.” Therefore, he taints the Word by adding to it, subtracting from it, or substituting his own defective formula, in order to deceive believers.

    Satan is very sly. Sometimes he tries to get you to question what God has said and to twist God’s words to mean something that is not true. - Tammy Melton(1) The Word of God is a powerful weapon against the devil. Proverbs states, “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their ...read more

    Thanksgiving Grace

     | 3,333 views

    This Sunday we’ll be looking at how we are to “Say Grace.” While we look at the giving of blessings for the food that we eat, saying grace is so much more, which in turn should literally change the way we thank God for what He has so graciously given.

    Thanksgiving Grace Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RduI0CrSBJA As I approached today’s message, I really didn’t know what the Lord wanted me to talk about.
