    A lot of folks think the Christian life is like the game children play, called “Hide and Seek”.

    Even older teens sometimes enjoy playing this game. However sometimes older teens they cheat when they play this game. Let me explain… Illus: For example, did you hear about the teenage girl that said to her boy friend, “Let’s play Hide and Seek.” • He said, “How do you play it?” • She ...read more

    Joseph was thrown into a pit on two separate occasions. However, as a result of his faithfulness during those circumstances, he was delivered from the pain and drudgery of his pit experiences to go on and live in a palace!

    He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. - King David(1) Do you ever feel like you’re in a deep, dark pit with no way out?

    For Israel, “the exile had become not only their physical but national burial site. Their hopes, dreams, glories, and nationalism had been entombed in an alien land.” The question for a dying nation: “Can These Bones Live?”

    I want to begin our message with one woman’s testimony of her visit to a chilling archaeological site in Peru. Erin Lyyc says of her approach to the location, “Against the parched Andean earth [are] flecks of brilliant white. Drawing closer, there are hundreds – [no] thousands – of what look from ...read more

    God has made us with the ability to feel the emotions of jealousy and envy to enrich our lives, but those emotions can easily lead us into sin. We can counteract jealousy and envy by cultivating gratitude.

     | 3,573 views

    Can you imagine what a wonderful world this would be if every Christian lived like the Lord Jesus?

    I love that song that we sing sometimes called, “TO BE LIKE JESUS”. This world is filled with people who only think of themselves but if everyone was like Christ this would be a world of LOVE AND COMPASSION!

     | 5,553 views

    A period of trial or testing will sort out the spiritual fibre of a man. That which confronts on the outside determines what truly resides on the inside. The weakling caves in. The coward hides away in his room pretending.. The unstable person panics, BUT Jehoshaphat prayed!

    This message is about living as one with Christ. When we accept Christ we are joined with Him and that means something. This message illustrates how we become one with Him.

    When One + One Doesn’t Equal Two Scripture: Genesis 2:24; First Corinthians 1:10; 12:12-13; Ephesians 4:1-6 In my previous two messages discussing what it means to be independent together with God and God’s plumb line, I talked about what happens when we come into agreement with God and begin ...read more

    Be Not Afraid Of Their Faces

     | 4,825 views

    Has God ever told you to deliver a message to someone but when you saw their face you became nervous about what you were supposed to say? This message is about how God directed Jeremiah to move beyond his fear of those he would be prophesying to.

    Be Not Afraid Of Their Faces Scripture: Jeremiah 1:4-8; 17-19; John 5:19, 30; 7:16 When I reflect on the messages that the Spirit has given me over the last few weeks, I can’t help but wonder what is He preparing us for?

    In this section of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus clarifies what the most important command is. It is to love God and to love others. Wholeheartedly loving God means that we love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. That kind of love is illustrated in the widow's gift.

    When the volunteer workload is placed on just a handful of people, these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. It is biblical to appoint deacons and train ministry volunteers to assist.

    NOTE: This submission includes in this order: 1. Deacon Ordination Sermon, 2. Deacon Ordination Service, 3. Sermon Footnotes.
