     | 1,286 views

    As we study the life of Joseph and compare it with the life of the church we will learn many important lessons. The Lord expects us as His children to grow in our knowledge of Him and to experience the riches of His glory through

    Let us look into 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) As we continue our series of meditations based on the above mentioned verse, we realize that God alone ...read more

     | 1,984 views

    There are many who follow Jesus, but only a few who genuinely seek to live as His disciples. Let’s understand who a true disciple is, and what Jesus expects of those who are His disciples.

    We read in Matthew 4:25, “Large crowds followed him. They came from Galilee, the Ten Cities, Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan River.” (GW) Great multitudes of people followed after Jesus while He was here on earth, and there were several reasons why they did so. As we study the ...read more

    Defining The Relationship (Romans 8:12-17) Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Aug 13, 2022
     | 2,711 views

    When we trust Jesus as our Savior, everything changes in our relationship with God. Our motivation, our status, and our expectations. In Romans 8:12-17, God defines our relationship status.

    Defining the Relationship Romans 8:12-18 This week, I asked several people around me if they knew t what a DTR was. My suspicion was that if you were a college student or young adult, you knew exactly what a DTR was, but that if you were older, you didn’t. And as it turned out, I was right. When I ...read more

     | 2,822 views

    Memories of good times are fading, while the expectation of experiencing new ones is gradually disappearing. However, when persons are introduced to Jesus, when they have an opportunity to meet Jesus hope springs alive once more.

    Good morning brothers and sisters. Good morning, everyone. Don’t touch. Don’t hug Stand 6 ft apart or at least 3ft apart. Many are losing hope and the joy of life is ebbing away, as they seek to battle the many challenges which they face. Memories of good times are fading, while the expectation ...read more

     | 6,326 views

    The Jews in Jerusalem were thinking too small in their expectations of God's goodness. God's future for his people is so abundant that man-made walls could not contain the blessings. Jerusalem will be a "city without walls."

    We are becoming familiar with the book of Zechariah. For most Christians, it is a closed book. But God is opening this word to us because it is so relevant to world events today and to our personal journey in God. Today we enter Zechariah’s third vision recorded in chapter 2. The vision, as a ...read more

    What do we do when we have prayed and prayed for something with seemingly no results? Do we just keep repeating the prayer? Or is there a better way? In this message, we examine Jesus's teaching about prayer to discover answers to those questions.

    Intro Unanswered prayer is an issue we all face at one time or another. What do we do when we have prayed and prayed about something, and seemingly there are no results?

    Maybe all my life I’ve been expecting too much out of Christmas and not enough from Jesus Christ. Christmas itself cannot deliver all our heart’s desires, but Jesus can.

     | 7,721 views

    This was done as a dramatic monologue, as if I were Mark; and costumed according to Mark 14:51-52! It makes use of one of Mark’s favorite words, "immediately", and argues that Jesus expects immediate response to His call.

    What’s happening? What’s going on here? I came as quickly as I could. If you linger, you will miss Him. He waits for no one. He acts immediately. He is the most urgent person I’ve ever known. He just does not wait for anything. He acts immediately. So, again, what’s happening here? What ...read more

    In our country, we are encouraged by some to put our trust in politicians who we expect to bring about great change and increased godliness. But this passage gives us fair warning about doing just that.

    Passage: Acts 12:19b-25 Intro: It’s interesting that God has providentially brought us to this passage on our 4th of July weekend. 1. there is always a danger lurking for every human being. 2. it is the danger to worship things of this world instead of God.
