    As we walk with God in our daily lives “doubt” seems to rise up consistently. When we talk about our faith, our assurance, or having confidence it can be easily recognized that the opposite of these is DOUBT.

    Without A Doubt Scripture: John 20: 24 - 29 Key Verse: “Then Jesus said to him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’” Ill: One day John Wesley was walking with a troubled man who expressed his doubt as to the goodness ...read more

    All that God wants for us is right there in front of us, but if we are not careful, we will forge ahead without the guidance of the Lord and miss out on much of what He has for us.

    Scouting out the first step of your vision Joshua 2 Sent our secretly by Joshua the spies were led to Rahab’s house.

    This sermon is about two aviators on opposites sides of World War II and their conversion to Christianity. (Mitsuo Fuchida who led the attack on Pearl Harbor and Jacob Deshazer who participated in the Doolittle raid).

    Correct Connection In Christ

     | 3,928 views

    If taught correctly these verses will encourage our security in Christ! The Believer in Christ ought to be the most secure person with their relationship with God. Sadly, it seems just the opposite. So it’s time that changes!

    Every person has been put on this planet for two reasons, first, to know God and secondly, to show that God in their life! So basically, everything less is just a waist of time! The average Christian doesn’t know the difference between union with Christ and communion with Christ: (verse 5 is ...read more

    Immediately after Abram gets "back to basics," a controversy develops. Did you know that "blessing" can lead to dissension? Did you know that walking in faith almost inevitably leads to opposition?

    The Head-On Collision Text: Genesis 13:1-18 When a corporation has some bad financial reverses, you are likely to read a press release that says something about getting back to the company’s core business. When a sports team gets outplayed, the coach’s press conference will usually have a statement ...read more

    Message expounds Zechariah's first vision (1:7-17) and applies the encouragement to New Testament believers who encounter opposition and discouragement. An Outline of the book of Zechariah is also discussed.

    The Magi were an example of people who have little light who make the most of the opportunity. The Jews and Herod were the opposite--they were clueless as to when their King and Messiah had come.

    Back in November, Jeanie and I received a newsletter from an organization called SAT-7. SAT, I assume stands for satellite, because that is the means by which they broadcast the Gospel via television programs into Muslim dominated countries in the Middle East. SAT-7 is the largest provider of ...read more

    Danger in itself is not wrong. But there are temnptations we face to deal with our anger unhelpfully.

    I want to talk today about the danger of anger; or more accurately about the temptation to let our anger consume us. Now let’s face it, every one of us will experience anger from time to time, some more than others. Some of us are probably more prone to anger due to our emotional makeup, but all of ...read more

    Christians should learn from and follow Jesus’ example when faced with temptation.

    While waiting in a fast food restaurant to order my lunch one day last week, I noticed that the manager had keys hanging from a stretch band with WWJD imprinted on it. I wanted to ask him if he knew what WWJD means? Last year, while renting a car at an airport, I noticed that most of the ...read more
