    Zechariah was a faithful servant for the Lord, but doubted God when an angel appeared to Him with great news. When God's promise was fulfilled, his first response was to PRAISE because of who God is. Will we do the same during this Christmas season?

    2014 Christmas Series (December 7, 2014) Sermon 2 – Zechariah’s Praise Luke 1:5-25; 57-66; 67-80 Introduction - Obvious question: “What is Advent?” -- The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival." -- The focus of the entire season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus ...read more

    HE IS OFTEN CONCEALED AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. HE COMES DISGUISED AS A FRIEND OR MESSENGER, BUT IN REALITY IS A DECEPTIVE DEMON WHO WANTS TO RUIN AND CONTROL YOUR LIFE, AND DISRUPT THE WORK OF GOD.

    On Being Hospitable Series

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Jun 19, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,302 views

    Part II of the Four-Part Vision: God instructs his people to practice hospitality. What does this mean as we receive guests in our congregations? Are we ill-prepared to welcome our guests? Or do we receive them as the blessing and gift that God intended?

    Congregations are families. The longer that they are together, usually the harder it is to let other people become part of the inner circle of the church. And yet, we know that – just as we are to be hospitable as families – we are also called to be hospitable as groups of believers. The writer ...read more

    How strange that He who was rejected by those He came to save gladly accepts and welcomes those same sinners who desire to come to Him.

    There Was No Room At The Inn For The King, But There Is Room At The Cross For You!” Luke 1:1-7 / 1 John 2 1-2 David P. Nolte There are many contrasts in life: light and dark; good and bad; new and old; young and elderly; in and out. Let’s contrast these two songs: “No room in the ...read more

    Being Renewed (Graduation Sunday) Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Jun 5, 2021
     | 2,305 views

    We think home is a place of renewal. We think we can go home and rest. And we can, but only if our focus is right. Home won’t renew us, won’t build us up, unless the focus of our home is on the One who raises us into a new kingdom, a new reality.

    Main: If you’re looking for snapshots of well-adjusted and happy parent-child relationships from the ancient world, the Bible probably shouldn’t be on your short list of sources. Consider even Jesus’ family, for example. The New Testament preserves evidence suggesting that Jesus’ relationship with ...read more

    In the book of Galatians Paul does everything he can to establish that any other Gospel other than faith in Christ is no gospel at all. In so many areas of life we have many good options. When it comes to the gospel there is only one way.
