    It is our willingness to give God a preview that shows God that we will not forget what He will do because we refuse to overlook what He has already done! It is our preview that shows God that we won't take the miracle we are asking for for granted becaus

    What do Christians believe about God?

    “Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.” - Deuteronomy 4:39 (NIV) I felt this verse goes well with our church’s statement of faith regarding God: “There is only one true God, revealed to us as the Father, the Son, and ...read more

     | 12,667 views

    The role of a pastor/teacher is much more than that of a carer. Psalm 23 illustrates to us from the Good Shepherd what is involved in this ministry that is intended to lead others to maturity in Christ.

    3.7.11 PASTORS AND TEACHERS -- Psalm 23 INTRO Have you ever thought of entering the ministry? Maybe you have. Or maybe you haven't and you wonder how a church pastor spends their time during the week. What is involved: There is a well-worn joke that pastor's work only one day a week. It's about ...read more

    To get the church to understand that if we are to share in His glory, then we should be willing to share in His suffering

    HOLD ON JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER Romans 8:18-24 My brothers and sisters as we go through life, we discover that it is full of ups and downs. It appears that for every step we take forward, we would take three backwards. And the more we try the more we ...read more

    The story of Noah is another example of God’s holy character which must punish sin and his overwhelming grace that permits humanity to survive. I begin with a TV commerical from years past about peanut butter cups with Noah and the flood as background.

    Truth is both objective and personal; it stands alone, but when embraced becomes transformational in a person’s life.

    Guarded by Truth Ephesians 6:10-14 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against ...read more

    Focused On The Faith Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,695 views

    Paul exhorted the church to rejoice in the Lord, even though they faced adversity, and avoid false teaching. He also emphasized that works were not enough to secure salvation. If they remained focused on the faith, they could overcome in Christ.

    Focused on the Faith Philippians 3: 1-6 As we begin to discuss the third chapter of Philippians, it appears that Paul is seeking to begin concluding his thoughts to the church. While this may have been the beginning of his conclusion, he has quite a bit more to share with them. Following the ...read more

    No one pays that much attention to the wrapping. It’s what is inside that counts . . . right? Maybe this Christmas we should stop and consider how the gift was wrapped.

    Wrapped Pt. 2 - In Humility I. Introduction There is usually very little attention paid to the wrappings. Even if great time and effort is made to make sure each corner is tucked and folded perfectly. Even if the bow is picked to match exactly. Even if every seam is exact.

    John's Gospel makes it clear that sinner's are responsible for their own unbelief which inevitably leads to condemnation.

    Condemned or Not (Read John 3:16-21) The glorious truth of God’s unfathomable love and His plan of salvation for humanity is stated in John 3:16-17: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 "For ...read more
