    I saw a post on Facebook that I thought would make a great title for a sermon. A friend was requesting prayer for a family member and someone wrote, “I’m praying with you. God’s got this!”

    "This sermon introduces God's Kingdom economy, contrasting worldly financial systems with Kingdom principles. It emphasizes financial victory through alignment with God’s Word and explores how Kingdom living leads to freedom and provision."

    In a world dominated by financial stress, economic uncertainty, and the unending pursuit of more, God's people are invited to embrace a different reality—God’s Kingdom economy, which operates on principles that are higher and more stable than the world's systems. Jesus makes this clear when ...read more

    When we operate from God’s overflow, there is no limit to what God can do in us and through us as we allow His Spirit to work in us. We can do ministry from God's Overflow!

    The moment we realize who Jesus really is, worship is in order. Hab 2:20 “But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.” When we come to him and recognize him, we worship him.

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Great Commission Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 “Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.

    Facing obstacles to sharing the gospel is common, but God will find listeners who learn to live for Jesus. When one door closes he opens another.

    Here in Acts 28:16-28 Paul explains himself, the gospel and their rejection of it. Why I’m wearing these chains. Why Jesus is the Christ. Why do your hearts reject him, and where will God go from here. Jenny and I were walking along in the neighborhood a few weeks ago when we came across ...read more

    In dispensing eternal life, God is just as gracious to the death-bed convert as he is one born and reared in the faith. Jesus’ parable of the Vineyard Workers shows us why.

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,816 views

    Trust in God is more than a concept, it’s an action and a faith-filled journey that brings us closer to God. It is a deep-seated belief in His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, and love, understanding that His plans for us surpass our very comprehension.

    “Trust God” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Today I want to deal with a simple topic but in its simplicity is truly complex. That is simply Trust God. So often people will try to encourage you when you are dealing with something by saying just Trust God. Although trusting God is ...read more

    God’s actions confirm His nature. God breaks in our world to give confirmation of His greatness. He does this in this passage and many times in the Old Testament – to confirm Himself as Lord.
