     | 184 views

    Theme: How does the triumphal entry of Jesus going into Jerusalem show the dynamics between the humble and the haughty and how salvation is affected? ... Jesus empties himself to serve others.

    Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Proverbs 18:12 (ESV) P: Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, C: but humility comes before honor. Have you heard that word haughty? What does haughty mean to you? When I first heard its definition it made me think of ...read more

     | 2,754 views

    The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is either fact or fiction. If it is fiction we are all lost in our sin. If it is fact then our eternal destiny pivots on whether we believe it or not.

    The Resurrection – A Wall or A Gate Please open your Bibles to Matthew 28:1-7 which Pastor Karenlee will be reading and teaching from in a few minutes. We hope many of you were able to join us for our Good Friday service. It was good to remember all that happened between the Passover Meal, which ...read more

     | 12,732 views

    Pastor TB Young shares an encouraging message on how a poverty-stricken window cries out and leaves having NOT ENOUGH and enters into a new destiny of having MORE THAN ENOUGH. God wants to do the same thing for you and your family.

    GREETINGS PRAYER TEXT: 2 Kings 4:1-7 2Kings 4:1 ¶ A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his ...read more

    The Resurrection Of The Lord Jesus Christ: What Do The Scriptures Say?

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 28, 2022
     | 1,767 views

    The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the faith and the greatest event in the story of civilization. The proofs from Scripture and the lives changed by it cannot be ignored or denied.

    Note: These verses and the order of events are adapted from THE OPEN BIBLE (KJV) (c) 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville, TN. When the Lord Jesus told Martha at the tomb of Lazarus, "I am the Resurrection and the Life" (John 11:25), He proved it by bringing HIs friend and her ...read more

    A Holiday For Fools

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 31, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,862 views

    Who is a fool? The one who worships a living Saviour? Or the one who says he needs no god? The message is a presentation of the reasonable position of worshipping Christ who conquered death.

    “Fools say to themselves, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt and commit evil deeds; not one of them practices what is good. “The LORD looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God. All have turned away, together they have become corrupt; ...read more

    Worship: Drawing Close To The Heart Of God Series

    based on 118 ratings
     | 26,975 views

    What we do in one hour of corporate worship each week is to be a reflection of what we as individuals are doing the other 167 hours a week. In fact, God despises corporate worship if the worshipers have hearts that are not right with Him.

    Intro: Back in 1992 when the Dallas Cowboys were preparing to play the San Francisco 49rs for the NFC Championship in San Francisco the Cowboys had a pep-rally at Texas Stadium. The audience cheered wildly for each player when he was introduced. The fans carried banners. They painted their fans and ...read more

    WHO LET THE DOGS IN? Matthew 15:21 – 28 In the text before us we find a woman who has a problem. The Bible tells us that her daughter was vexed by a devil. Now it does not tell us why it happened. It does not say whose fault it was, whether the mother had done something wrong or whether the ...read more

    Text: “The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16). Prayer is communication or communion with God.

    Let’s Bless God! Series

     | 8,705 views

    Psalm 103 is a pure song of praise. There’s not one petition in it. Instead, it crescendos with the command that everything in life must bless God! To excite and inspire Godliness in others, we must first stir it up in ourselves.

    Let’s Bless God! Psalm 103 Third in the series: "Glorify God!" (My thanks to Wm. Darryl Scott Sr. for some of this material) Introduction: Some people habitually talk to themselves. Listen as King David did it: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name.” Psalm 103 ...read more
