    When? We Cannot Quit!

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 27, 2017
     | 6,276 views

    Can we tell time? Can we recognize seasons? Can we tell when the winds of change are blowing? Our time is finite! When life knocks you down, get up with passion.

    WHEN? DO WE KNOW THE TIMES AND SEASONS?... WE CAN'T QUIT... By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of ...read more

    Some things need to be revved up.

    INTRO.- ILL.- One lady said, “I always do my exercises regularly every morning. Immediately after waking I always say sternly to myself, “Ready now. Up. Down. Up. Down!” And after two strenuous minutes I tell myself, “OKAY, NOW TRY THE OTHER EYELID.” ILL.- Mark Twain once said, “The only way ...read more

    If we will maintain a direction of love by stepping up, join up, pay up, give up, and God up we will never lose our bearings.

    Romans 13:8-14 “Don’t Lose Your Bearings?” Max Lucado visited Manhattan on 9/21/01, ten days after life was dramatically altered by planes tearing into the Pentagon and The World Trade Center Towers. While he was there a friend asked a taxi driver how he had been affected by the tragedy. He ...read more

    Saints Are Just Sinners Who Fall Down And Get Back Up

    Help believers understand that the Bible doesn’t teach sinless perfection; but rather endurance, perservering to the end and being an overcomer is what it’s all about.

    MICAH 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me. THE SAINTS ARE JUST THE SINNERS WHO FALL DOWN AND GET UP In our modern day vernacular we have made the term “SAINT” synonymous with perfection. If someone: Lives a ...read more

    As a body of believers we are encouraged to rise up, build up, and work up in the strength of the Lord.

    By: R. AuBuchon Jr. In the past two weeks we have been invited to get in the boat and work together as a team. Today we are challenged to rebuild the walls that will fortify family life, church life and community life. Much like in the days of Nehemiah the walls that once protected and gave us ...read more

    Built Up, Bound Up, Lifted Up

    We are so into upward mobility; but God's version is different. It involves building us up so that the powerless have power; binding up the wounded so that they can understand brokenness; and lifting us up so that we can use our power for others.

    I can remember when the word "furlough" was a happy word. It was a happy word because it meant that somebody in your family was coming home from military duty for a while. "Furlough" for me brings up a memory of standing, as a small boy, in Union Station in Louisville, waiting for the train to ...read more

    To avoid burnout and stay focused on our mission to share the good news we must be raised up revved up and prayed up according to Isaiah 40:21-31 1st Corinthians 9:16-23 and Mark 1:29-39

    Raised Up Revved Up Prayed Up Isaiah 40:21-31 I Corinthians 9:16-23 Mark 1:29-39 Most of us are very busy and we associate this with being productive. But I have found that everyone likes to declare a “snow day” once in a while and simply slow down and sit around and read a ...read more

    We are going to see 3 things about the early church; first they got fed-up with the world, then they got filled-up with the Spirit, and then they got fired-up to witness.

    FED-UP, FILLED-UP, FIRED UP Acts 4:7-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: TEA PARTY FOR DAD 1. A mother had gone shopping and left dad in charge of their 2½ year-old daughter. Someone had given her a little tea cup set as a gift. 2. Daddy was in the living room watching TV, when his little girl ...read more

    Picture an adult in diapers still drinking milk from a bottle – that’s not right! Are you in the same place spiritually that you were a year ago? 5 years ago? These things ought not to be! God wants us to grow up - spiritually speaking that is!

    EAT UP, GROW UP, AND GIVE IT UP!

    Praying to God as His sons and daughters is an honor. We should beat down the doors to heaven and seek God's will.

    Do you wonder what some of Jesus’ parables mean? Do you ever feel like Jesus’ message is obscure and obtuse? “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God have been given to you, but to them, I speak in parables” (Lk. 8:10). Well, there is not room for misunderstanding ...read more
