    Rest For The Weary

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 7, 2015
     | 7,272 views

    If we accept the rest Jesus offers, all we have to do is accept his teachings as well as the obligations he will lay upon us. He invites us to treat each other as brothers and sisters in Christ.

    “Nothing I do is ever enough!!!” Have you ever heard someone say that? Have you ever said that or thought that yourself? Well I certainly have, especially when my father was alive. Sometimes no matter how much we do, how much we say, how much we pay, how much we save, how much we ...read more

    We as God's people today must acknowledge what Israel did so many years before: "...we have not passed this way heretofore". A new year brings with it new challenges and the great unknown. But with God we can find the strength needed to launch out in a new direction.

    A NEW YEAR – A NEW DIRECTION Text: Joshua 3:1-5 INTRODUCTION I have titled this message today: “A New Year – A New Direction”. Please turn with me to Joshua, Chapter 3. Let’s begin our reading together in verse 1: 1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,219 views

    Evil is an interesting concept because it’s a direct result and product of sin. Evil only exists and abounds in this world because of Satan. Through the example of The Lord's Prayer - Jesus taught His disciples to pray that they would be delivered from evil.

    23) – “Deliver Us From Evil” Today, our search continues through the Bible for: “...those things most surely believed among us”. I ask that you all join me once again in Matthew Chapter 6, As we look once more to see what we believe about Prayer. In fact, today we are going to be looking once ...read more

     | 10,220 views

    The Bible tells us that patience is cheerful endurance. It is all about waiting on what God will do to your life and enjoying the wait like a child with anticipation.

    In any competition, the most important factor is not how many begin with the contest, but who finishes and completes the course. Paul declared in Hebrews 12:1-3. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so ...read more

    Joy In The Midst Of Heaviness Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 14, 2025
     | 216 views

    This sermon explains the Christian paradox of experiencing profound joy—rooted in our eternal salvation—while simultaneously enduring temporary and purposeful seasons of sorrow and trials.

    Introduction: A Heavenly Paradox To the world, joy and sorrow are opposites. They are like oil and water; they cannot mix. You are either happy, or you are sad. The presence of one means the absence of the other. The goal of modern life, it seems, is to construct a life so comfortable, so ...read more
