    Worship Is Feasting On God PRO Sermon

     | 124 views

    True satisfaction and joyful obedience are found only in knowing God and delighting in His presence, rather than seeking fulfillment in the world’s empty offerings.

    If we could sit together around a kitchen table, you’d notice the warmth of the oven and the smell of fresh bread. Plates set, cups full, chairs pulled close. That’s the picture in my mind when I think of what God offers His people: a table where the hungry are welcomed, where the thirsty are ...read more

    This sermon urges believers to move beyond empty words to genuine, costly obedience, allowing God to rekindle authentic faith and wholehearted devotion in their lives.

    Welcome, dear friends. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of us walked in this morning with hearts blazing hot; others with barely a flicker. If faith were a fireplace, some of us are warming our hands, and others are cupping the last little coal, begging it to glow again. Life can be like that. A long ...read more

    Don’t Worry, Be Happy

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 4, 2015
     | 3,915 views

    It is not in satisfying our craving to have more and more that we have abundant life. No, it is in serving God and loving others as we love ourselves that abundant life is gained and lived. When we give, we show that Christ is our treasure.

    What do we really need? Our society is based on acquisition of things, especially wealth. We are concerned about what we do not have, especially people who are considered to be “have not”. Jesus is saying that it doesn’t matter how hard we try to get things, we can’t ...read more

    The most important thing you can do in serving the Lord is not serving the Lord. Living for Jesus is more about “being” than “doing.”

    Christian Hospitality Luke 10:38-42 James 2:1-4 The most important thing you can do in serving the Lord is not serving the Lord. Living for Jesus is more about “being” than “doing.” When I was a student at Central College I had a classmate who was an outstanding student. After he graduated ...read more

    The teaching of Jesus calls us to serve Him until He returns. We are to get out of the box and serve others with love and compassion.

    Jesus Calls Us To Put Our Love into Action Matthew 25:31-46 In Matthew 25 we have some of the final teachings of Jesus. The Harmony of the Gospels lists 31 parables Jesus taught.

    As Christians, we are called to a life of humility and service, not seeking worldly power or glory, but following the example of Jesus who came not to be served, but to serve.

    Good morning, Church family! Today, we're diving into a passage that might just step on our toes a little, but it's an important one. It's about our desire for security, the danger of pride, and the call to serve. You see, we live in a world where security is equated with success and power. But as ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord Series

     | 3,628 views

    Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.

    Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more

    The reason why God brought us to this earth is because He has a special assignment for us. To fulfill your purpose; to carry out the assignment or the role God has for you, He has put certain treasures in you.

    Introduction GOD WANTS TO USE YOU The Bible in Ephesians 2:10 tells us that God has prepared in advance good works He wants us to do. What this means is that even before we were born, God had in mind a work, an assignment, a role for every one of us which He brought us to this earth to fulfill. ...read more
