    Obey God, Or Accept The Consequences

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 10, 2015
     | 3,580 views

    We can’t let fear or ignorance keep us from giving the lost people a message that can change their eternal destiny. The apostle Paul was not ashamed of the Gospel because through it God’s power is released to save humanity.

    Have you ever had a difficult time accepting God’s word? That’s only natural. Sometimes it’s hard for us to accept God’s word because of our self-centered nature. Man has always believed that everything revolves around him, and to be told that this is not true causes ...read more

    31B In our First Reading and Gospel text today, Moses and Jesus are both effectively asked for their respective elevator pitches: “Tell me everything I need to know what you believe and teach in two minutes or less.” Jesus was asked what was the number 1 commandment and he names it as one-in-three ...read more

    Cold Christianity

     | 7,844 views

    I believe that today there are so many people who claim the name of Christianity who are so accustomed to the coldness of their faith, they have become relaxed in it. This morning, I want us to examine the effects of staying too long in “Cold Christianity.”

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 7, 2021
     | 3,759 views

    Children of the church can be viewed as those who are new to the church. Why will the church leaders not listen to these people? Time to leave power behind and lead!

    Mark 10:13 And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 ...read more

     | 282 views

    The fact of the matter is “Life is unfair” and we have to learn to accept that it is! We need to quit spending valuable energy trying to change something that will not change in this sin filled world. We must learn to expect it and be willing to push through unfair situations with God’s assistance.

    Theme: Time Management Introduction to Theme: Benjamin Franklin said, “Do you love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff that life is made of.” The world we live in knows the importance of Time Management but where they miss the mark is on what they prioritize - which usually is ...read more

    We should be progressively striving to penetrate enemy held territory. Where is the territory? Everywhere! The world, this country, this state, your town or city, your own home, your family and your own body and mind - no one is exempt from these encounters!

    Insights into the fall of Simon Peter through his threefold denial of Christ. How God used the crowing of a rooster, the look of Christ and the prayer of Christ to bring Peter back with tears of heartfelt repentance.

    Three Strikes But Not Out. In our Scripture readings we have seen this truth illustrated in the life of Peter, one of Jesus disciples. At the Last Supper, Jesus said to his disciples. “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: I will strike the ...read more
