    Finding A Place Of Safety

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 18, 2018
     | 3,508 views

    Jesus didn’t promise us a life without pain and suffering. In fact, it was just the opposite. He told his followers that they shouldn’t expect to get along in this world any better than He did.

    4-27-04 Title: Finding a Place of Safety Text: “And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape. But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to ...read more

    Hope. It’s absolutely essential to life.The hope the world offers is based on our wants, desires and conjectures, but the hope Scripture talks about is different. This hope is as an expectation based on the truth and promises of God.

One day, a teacher who was assigned to the program received a call asking her to visit a child. She took the child's ...read more

    In this present pandemic crisis, many are pondering on these questions. I prayed to God for healing, restoration, for growth... but my prayers were not answered at least not as expected. Does God decide not to hear my prayers? Is he despising me?

    Beloved in Christ, God has given us the authority (John1:12) to become his child, whereby, to exercise the authority: to pray and to live in the fulfillment of his plan. A child of God releases healing and other deliverances from his life by the authority given by God. That same God exercises his ...read more

    The Lowly King Of Kings Series

    When people came looking for the Messiah they expected to see “a reed shaken in the wind,” or a wealthy and mighty king. Instead of finding a wealthy king, they found the Christ who was meek and humble; born in a place of low esteem.

    Our message for today is a reflection on the lowly and humble estate of our King of Kings. To begin this morning, turn in your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 9, and we will look at verses 1-2, and 6-7. What I am about to read are the words of the prophet Isaiah concerning the entrance of our Savior ...read more

    You are saved to serve and not to be served. Your occupation is to win souls to God's kingdom. God expects to make 'profit' from your salvation. You are a fruit bearing tree planted by God.

    TEXT: Luke 19:13 "And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come." SAVED TO SERVE God has deposited his grace upon your life for a purpose.

    The pivotal truth on which our faith, life and beliefs rest, is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! We can rest with assurance, live in hope and work in expectation because Jesus Christ is risen from the dead!

    Prayer must be foundational to action. When you have prayed, expect God to give you an answer. When He does, get to work on the things you can do and watch God work through you.

    In Paul's "to live is Christ, to die is gain," we learn a new boldness, a singlemindedness, and a fearless approach to death when God brings it. We can serve God fully with yearning expectation for the life to come.

    Philippians 1:21-26 Living with One Foot in Eternity Over the next four weeks, we’ll look at the tiny New Testament book of Philippians. It’s actually a letter the Apostle Paul wrote around 61 AD to the church in Philippi. Paul wrote from prison in Rome, probably during his first imprisonment, ...read more

    In this sermon I do not expect to hear a lot of Amen but it is my prayer that God might receive a lot of good results from the preaching of HIS Word. Today I will be preaching on WHY EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD TITHE.

    I preach on tithing at least once a year for several reasons. (1) Because I am a Bible preacher. This is what God has called me to do…PREACH HIS WORD. But I preach on tithing for another reason because I want (2) I want the blessings of God on your life not God’s curse. Many of us if not all ...read more
