    Contributed by Gregory Lilly on Oct 19, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 23,335 views

    God's promises are wonderful and inspiring. Here are just 4 of the many promises from God we can count on.

    II Peter 1:4 Within the scriptures we are able to find more than 10,000 promises from God. In this message, I want to focus our attention on 4 of the promises of God. What is so wonderful about the promises of God is that they are attainable if you will trust fully in God. What ...read more

    Sacrifices To God Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 21, 2020
     | 3,587 views

    Offerings follow the character of the worshipper. God looks not into the hands of a man but the heart of a man. We can't satisfy God by our mere offerings but by the broken heart and humble spirit. God is after a man or woman who is living with love and devotion to God and fellow human.

    Better Sacrifice Genesis 4:1-10 Introduction: This year we are going to meditate under the Theme: “A cloud of Witnesses”(Hebrews 12:1). We will be thinking numerous personalities of the Bible from the perspectives of Faith journey. This Sunday we have two personalities before us to learn. They ...read more

    God Delivers Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 2, 2021
     | 3,529 views

    Tonight brings us the climax of this story that most of us already know. But even though it's a familiar story, I always look for some reason that this story is in God's Word. Why is it there and what it is trying to teach us?

    Tonight's study in the third chapter of Daniel is really very short. But even though it's short, it packs a powerful message for all of us. Last time our study in the Book of Daniel left us at the entrance to the fiery furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were bound, fully clothed, ...read more

    This sermon encourages believers to deepen their understanding of God beyond basic teachings, fostering spiritual growth and maturity through relentless pursuit of knowing God.

    Good morning, dear family of faith. The air in this sanctuary is thick with the sweet aroma of fellowship, the sacred bond that binds us together as we gather in the name of our Lord. Our hearts are eager, our souls are thirsty, and our spirits are ready to be filled with the Word of God. In the ...read more

    Shield And Buckler Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 3, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,342 views

    The shield and buckler are weapons that protect one from the attacks of the enemy. The adversary may attack us from afar or from close at hand. Whatever be the case, God’s children must realize that God’s protection is available to us nonetheless.

    Psalm 91 - Study 14 - Shield and Buckler We read in Psalm 91:4, “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” (KJV) The shield and buckler are weapons that protect one from the attacks of the enemy.

    Discovering God's Will Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jan 10, 2015

     | 9,930 views

    Paul shows us how to use biblical wisdom to discover the will of God through: 1) Understanding (Ephesians 5:15), 2) Occasion (Ephesians 5:16), 3) Action (Ephesians 5:17)

    Most of us acknowledge that God has a plan for the life of every believer, but often we have trouble in finding just which way this plan goes at a particular juncture, where the answers sometimes seem to elude even the most persistent searcher. Some apparently think that God’s will is lost. ...read more

    Living The A.d. Life Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,675 views

    God is calling us to leave the B.C. life and live the A.D. life. Life without God is no life at all! His plan for us is to come alive in Christ Jesus and get close to Him.

    Living the A.D. Life Ephesians 2:1-10 Intro: In Eph. 1 we talked about the benefits of being in Christ. Today we will see that this theme continues through chapter 2 as well. We weren’t always in Christ. In fact, the only way a person can be in Christ is to call on Him in faith, believing that ...read more

    Be More Concerned About

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Jan 30, 2012
     | 3,834 views

    Paul writes that one should be more concerned about love, being saved, trusting the True God, getting close to God, and helping the fallen ones than being concerned about food sacrificed to idols.

    I Corinthians 8: 1-13 “Be more concerned about” What was not so good at Corinth was some of the rascals there Corinthian Christians composed of converted idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, thieves, drunkards, and swindlers (6:9-11). The church made up of people from such ...read more

    Lesson 13 - The Manner Of Response (James 1.19-21) Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 26, 2021
     | 2,504 views

    The mention of the “word of truth” in verse 18 leads James to devote a lengthy section to a matter close to his heart -- the appropriate Christian response to God’s Word. James stresses that the Word’s purpose is to be obeyed.

    Tom Lowe 2/1/2021 LESSON 13 - THE MANNER OF RESPONSE (James 1.19-21) Text James 1:19-21, KJV 19. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20.

    What God Has Promised, God Will Do! Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 17, 2019
     | 15,355 views

    In Romans 4:13-25, Paul shows how Abraham believed that what God promised, God would do. Similarly, in order to be made right with God, we must believe that God will make good on His promise to save those who put their trust in Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.

    A. I like the old story about a man who fell off a cliff, but managed to grab a tree limb on the way down. 1. The man began to call out: “Help, help, is anyone up there?” 2. Then the man heard a voice saying, “I am here. I am the Lord. Do you believe me?” 3. The man replied, “Yes, Lord, I ...read more

    Who - or what - is the “god of this world?” (1 Cor 4:3-4) Is he a living character, or an evil force within ourselves? In what way is the “god of this world” a fitting description? Is God in control, or is Satan the ruler of the realm we live in? •Are we
