    Christians have the opportunity, just as they did during the plagues and epidemics of history, to distinguish themselves from the world. It is the Preacher’s responsibility to lead the flock during this pandemic for that very purpose.

    TITLE: TRUSTING GOD SCRIPTURE: EPHESIANS 3:14-21 There are several things I want to address in this morning’s message that don’t necessarily all flow together very smoothly. But I think that’s okay. If you find anything these days that’s flowing together smoothly, please let me know. In this ...read more

    A Brief Glimpse Of Heaven

     | 7,000 views

    In order for us to understand the resurrection, we have to expand our ideas about who and what God is and what we can do. We can’t limit God with our own limited human reasoning. God continually surprises us. The future he has planned for us is glorious.

    Have you ever wondered about what life will be like in heaven after we die? If so, you’ll be interested in what Jesus has to say about the subject in the passage from Luke 20:27-38. The Sadducees’ question about the resurrection was a ridiculous one because the Sadducees did not ...read more

    This verse accentuates God’s sovereign authority in granting ministry opportunity. When God determines what He wants, He consults with Himself as He did in Genesis 1:26.

    John 3:27 -“A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.” This verse accentuates God’s sovereign authority in granting ministry opportunity.

    Christmas Eve service, 2003. Herod wanted to be in control and lost the opportunity to know Jesus personally. Do we want to be in control so much that we can’t submit to Christ?

    Herod didn’t know who he was. The King of Judea, the Great Herod, had no clue as to who this little baby boy was. Herod thought this baby was a threat. Matthew’s Gospel says that when Herod heard about the Baby Jesus from the Wise Men, he was greatly distressed. Greatly distressed? That is ...read more

    Can you relate to Peter’s overconfidence that led to failure? Let’s find some red flags so we can eliminate some opportunities in our lives to fall.

    Tell your neighbor, “My God knows!” Look to you other neighbor and tell them, “My God knows all about my sins.” Tell the person behind you, “My God knows all about my sins, and He has forgiven me and loves me.” If you don’t hear anything else today, hear that!

    The parable of the Ten Minas is a wonderful lesson for Christians and how to take advantage of opportunities to serve the Master, the resources He has given us and how we will be judged by our management of these gifts.

    Use It or Lose It! Luke 19:11-27 By Dr. David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION One of my heroes is Billy Graham. Although he is in his mid 80s, and battling Parkinson’s disease, he is still preaching the gospel.

    You in me and I in you. Jesus offers us the intimate connection with God -- the connection the whole world craves. It is our joy and opportunity to introduce the hungry world to Jesus who satisfies.

    Jesus wants us to "do good" and "save lives", to show concern for the physical and spiritual needs of people. Let us pursue the good of others, and seize every opportunity to do so.

    Jesus pursued the good of other people. • He did it in his healings; he did it in his teachings. • In fact, Jesus lived his entire life for the good of other people. • We are all beneficiaries of that life - He died ultimately for our good. Today, we are called to live such a life. • As ...read more
