    David stands up to Goliath and changes the whole course of the war. Jesus stands up to Satan as our substitute. All it takes is One.

    3.5.22 1 Samuel 17:4–49 (EHV) The Philistine would say, “I defy the ranks of Israel today! Give me a man, and we will fight each other!” 11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they lost their courage and were terrified. 32 David said to Saul, “Do not let anyone lose ...read more

    A paradigm for its own struggle in an alien environment.

    THE DEVIL IN THE DESERT “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test,” Jesus replied to Satan from Deuteronomy 6:16: but the rest of the verse says, “as you tested [God] at Massah.” Massah means testing and Meribah means contention. Psalm 95:8 says, “Do not harden your hearts as you did ...read more

    What Are You Doing In Sodom? Series

    Sodom represents the allurment of the world. It proved deadly for Lot, and it will just as surely destroy our lives if we venture close to the world.

    Our passage gives us a powerful lesson concerning worldliness. The key question from Genesis 14, “how close can you get to sin before it corrupts you?” The key verse, is Genesis 14:12. There we learn that while Lot first “pitched his tents near Sodom, now we read that Lot was ...read more

    God created you for a calling, but you’re going to have to fight for it.

    When I read this Paul’s final teaching in the book of Ephesians. It reminds me of George C. Scott in that classic movie “Patton.” He’s standing in front of an enormous American flag rallying the men to fight the battle before them during WW II. In he utters one of the best lines I’ve ever heard ...read more

    IT IS EASY TO FOCUS ON OUR PROBLEMS AND STRUGGLES, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE SEEKING TO FOLLOW CHRIST. THE DEVIL HAS A WAY OF BRING THEM UP AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES, OR WE GIVE THEM MORE SIGNIFICANCE THAN THEY ARE DUE BY ATTRIBUTING EVERY ISSUE AS A SP

    THE MIGHT OF GOD IN OUR TIMES OF TROUBLE. Isaiah 40:27-31 (NIV) 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"? 28 Do you not know? Have you not heard?

     | 5,877 views

    This is the second message in a series from the book of Ecclesiastes that examines Solomon's wisdom in regard to the mistakes that he had made in his life. This message examines the pursuit of success how it is always elusive and leaves one feeling empty.

    Dear Diary, “I want to be a success but the harder I pursue success the more empty I feel.” As we begin I really feel that we must answer three extremely difficult questions. What drives you? What causes you to work the way you do? What happens to all you have worked for when you exit ...read more

     | 3,345 views

    The life and death of Maria Goretti teaches us something about resisting evil.

    July 6, 2012 St. Maria Goretti Mt 5: 38-41 The commandment to not resist the evildoer is one of the most stark and, admittedly, controversial ones in the NT. A few Christian pacifists have interpreted it to mean that we can neither resist evil persons or evil actions in any way. But that is ...read more

    What Goals We Have Helps In Knowing What Obstacles We Might Face.

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Dec 29, 2011

    Apostle Paul often spoke of his Christian life as if running in the Olympic Games. I believe Paul watched those games many times and running was probably the most competitive. What prize was Paul running for? Salvation is not the prize
