    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 19, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,096 views

    Though we live on this earth, it is important that we have an eternal perspective. We are all heading to one of two destinations, and may God help us to make the right decision so we can be with Him for eternity.

    We read in Luke 23:43, Jesus said to him, "I can guarantee this truth: Today you will be with me in paradise." (GW) These are the words of Lord Jesus as he hung on the cross to the thief who was also hanging on a cross adjacent to Him. In his last dying moments, the man called out to ...read more

    Sermon – The Cost Of Having Your Way - Do You Really Want A King?

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 4, 2025
     | 949 views

    But they wanted a king “the same as all the other nations” (1 Samuel 8:5). So they rejected their true King, the God of heaven and earth. God granted their request and gave them over to their desires, but not without a warning.

    Sermon – Do You Really Want A King? Scripture Lesson - 1Samuel 8:1-21 “As Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel.

    Why Are We Praying For God’s Will If It Always Happens Anyway? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 29, 2025
     | 726 views

    Many presume that everything that happens is God's will. That's not true. What does it look like to pray that God's will would start to be done here on earth as it is done in heaven?

    WHY PRAY THIS? This is a prayer because it isn’t happening much now. - Matthew 6:10. - So in this fourth part of the sermon, Jesus calls us to pray for God’s will to be done. - But, wait, isn’t that already happening all the time? We hear people constantly speak that whatever happened was God’s ...read more

    Pray Boldly!

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 28, 2025
     | 240 views

    "Your will be done on earth as in heaven." We may not say the exact words but many of our prayers could be summarized with the words, “please let my will be done.” What's the answer to this paradox of prayer?

    “Your will be done on earth as in heaven.” In the prayer we affectionately call the Lord’s Prayer we refer to that phrase as the Third Petition. Remember that a petition is specific request. There are seven petitions in the Lord’s Prayer as we pray it. After addressing God as our Father in ...read more

    The Kingdom of God is not just about going to heaven when we die, but about experiencing a transformed life here on earth. We can live as subjects of King Jesus and bring heaven into our lives right now.

    Today, we're talking about the Kingdom of God. It's not just about getting a ticket to heaven, but it's about living a transformed life right here, right now. The Kingdom of God is like a hidden treasure in the Bible stories, and it's a kingdom that's going to last forever. Now, let's get creative. ...read more

    We’ll be looking at this subject of living victoriously from the standpoint of how a group of people lived their life victoriously in the midst of great trials and tribulation and now are in the presence of God in heaven because of how they lived their lives on earth.

    When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we have the capacity to love in the very same way God loves. But so many Christians don't understand what it means to love like God loves.

    John 3:16 is a verse we learn very, very early in life, even before we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. My Mom and Dad, and I’m sure your Mom and Dad too, repeated this verse to us as children. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him ...read more

     | 11,067 views

    Expanding the Kingdom of God during this Church Age is a mandate that is still incumbent upon all churches. If the doors to continued expansion are closing, it may be because we are disobedient, or it may presage the closing of this present age.

    “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. “‘I know your works.

    We are all members of the body of Christ. All of us have different gifts, but together we can carry on the ministry of Jesus while He walked on earth. God knew we could not do it on our own strength, so He gave us the Holy Spirit.
