    Rehoboam inherited the promises of both his father and grandfather. As we look at how he entered those promises we can learn from his mistakes to ensure that we don’t make the same.

    Losers Never Win

     | 2,838 views

    You don't have to be a loser. Unfortunately, many choose this route as a way of life. They never really become overcomers. Make the right choices, as hard and sacrificial as they may be. Remember Lot and Lots' wife.

    Central Text---Gen. 13:7-14 Lu 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; Lu 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

    This message is to give encouragement to not lose sight of the dreams that God has given us. The main points are: 1. There will be SUFERING. 2. There will be QUITTING POINTS to BREAK THROUGH. 3. Don’t stop DREAMING!

    Dare to Dream Again! Imagine with me for a moment. A cool crisp night. The sky is clear and a myriad of stars are twinkling back at you. There you stand. Just you and God. You think back for a moment to some times you had with God in your devotions. You remember when God promised you that ...read more

    The Mystery Of Pain And Suffering

    Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 20, 2012
     | 7,652 views

    Christians have a problem with suffering that non-Christians don’t have. Christianity proclaims that God is love and that He loves the whole world. But, if this is true, why does He permit undeserved suffering?

    May 1, 2003 Title: The Mystery of Pain and Suffering Text: “And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things?” Scripture Reading: Luke 13:1-5 Some people see no ...read more

    based on 94 ratings
     | 24,253 views

    The "holy kiss" was a common way to show love and acceptance in the early church. What was that "kiss" intended to accomplish for God and how can we (who often don’t do that) accomplish the same goals?

    OPEN: For the next 4 weeks, we’re going to be looking at what the Bible says about kissing (pause). You know, the Bible is just FULL of kissing. There are stories where sons kiss their fathers. Friends kissing friends/ brothers kissing brothers. People kissing false idols. Kissing between a woman ...read more

    The Focus Of Our Faith

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Aug 22, 2013
     | 2,867 views

    The truth about life is that even when we get it unfolded, we don't necessarily know where we should go. What is the focus of life? Where are the real answers to life's questions to be found?

    Don’t let anything stop you from pursuing your God-given dreams, not rejection nor reversals, because in God’s sovereignty, our setbacks are but stepping stones to success.

    Before I get into my message today, I want you to pick a number, any number. Did you pick a number larger than a million? If not, then why didn't you?

    The good news about the parable of the weeds is we don’t have to speculate about the meaning, the Lord gives us a full interpretation. Four personal lessons we can apply to our lives.

    INTRODUCTION In Matthew 13 Jesus tells seven classic parables about the Kingdom of heaven. Last week we studied the parable of the Sower, which also is recorded in Mark and Luke. Today we’re going to examine the parable of the “Wheat and Weeds,” which appears only in Matthew. ...read more

    Invitation To A Table For Two In The Wilderness

    Contributed by Ian Johnson on Feb 19, 2013
     | 5,244 views

    The call to come inward to the table is often ignored because many don’t see the value of such fellowship; their aim is to be doing where as the aim of the table for two is simply “Being” in His presence.

    The Christian faith is about relationship it’s not about religion or outward displays of Church life that are just mere forms of religious expression. Jesus spoke very firmly to the religious of the day, who felt they were doing the right thing in preserving religious tradition but ignoring ...read more
