    When You’ve Lost You’re Grip

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 13, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,605 views

    Each of us has a withered hand and can't get a grip on something in life. It could be a past hurt, moral failure, financial difficulty, fear of the future, physical problem, or feeling of inferiority. We need to let Jesus expose it and heal us mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

    WHEN YOU’VE LOST YOU’RE GRIP Mark 3:1-5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Mom discussed peer pressure and cigarettes with her 12-year-old daughter. Having struggled for years to quit, she described how she had started smoking to "be cool." As she outlined the arguments kids might make to ...read more

    Fear is something that each of us faces at different times in our lives. Sometimes, it’s fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of danger, or fear of losing control. But God, in His love and wisdom, has given us promises that provide comfort, peace, and strength when fear strikes.

    Trusting God When Fear Strikes Introduction: Today, we will consider two powerful verses of Scripture that speak to the core of our human experience—fear and trust. Fear is something that each of us faces at different times in our lives. Sometimes, it’s fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear ...read more

    Advent Iii "Surprises From God, Remove The Impossible”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Dec 17, 2024
     | 663 views

    Mary and Elizabeth had a surprise from God. Both became expectant mothers. It was part of God's ultimate plan to reclaim His creation from the grasp of Satan, after the failure in Eden. At Bethlehem God launched a mighty counteroffensive that started with a tiny baby boy named Jesus.

    In Jesus Holy Name December 22, 2024 Text: Luke 1:35-37 Redeemer “Surprises From God, Remove the Impossible” Luke chapter 1 tells us the story of two expectant mothers, Elizabeth and Mary. Both of their pregnancies were a surprise. Both are ...read more

    Simon Peter felt like a failure. On the last night of Jesus’ life on earth, Peter made an impossible commitment: “I will never run away and leave you.” But only hours later, Peter shouted, “I told you, I don’t even know him. Leave me alone!” Now, Christ h

    With Us - Peace Series

     | 3,098 views

    If we’re honest, we’re all looking for something. It seems to me that most people today, now more than ever simply want inner peace. Less stress, a sense of wellbeing and moments of time where their mind is not occupied with thoughts of, “I must”, “what if” or “I wonder why”?

    Sermon: Encouragement To Press On

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 9, 2025
     | 501 views

    Paul’s inspiring testimony of commitment forces us to look at our own lives—do we have the strategy we need to overcome our challenges? Or do we let our failures derail our dreams? And what could we accomplish if we were committed enough and had the strength not to give up?

    Subject: Encouragement to Press On Text: Philippians 3:7-14 “But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count ...read more

    Journey From Death To Life (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 28, 2023
     | 1,096 views

    Peter’s brokenness taught him a great lesson about the Lord’s love, faithfulness, forgiveness, and acceptance. Peter had his own journey from death to life. He realized he could not follow Jesus in his own strength. This realization kept him humble and dependent on Jesus.

    Last Sunday we spoke about Jesus in the Valley of Kidron, then in the Garden of Gethsemane, and how the whole time He was in God’s will in His journey from death to life. We are coming to the end of Jesus’ earthly journey in the book of John and can see that these last few hours would be the most ...read more

    This eulogy is for a man who drifted from the Lord to alcholism but found his way back through AA and the witness of his wife. He had cancer the final year of his life, but it made him more determined to follow God.

    The Sanctity Of Marriage

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jul 17, 2004
    based on 74 ratings
     | 14,231 views

    How does the Bible define marriage? Why did God institute marriage in the first place? It must be clear from the outset that our final authoritative standard for our lives is the Word of God. God’s standards do not change.

    THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE MATTHEW 19:4-6 INTRODUCTION: This coming week Congress is slated to vote on a Federal Amendment defining marriage. There are those who want to establish a traditional definition of marriage. Others oppose any traditional definition and are seeking to redefine marriage. The ...read more

    Have you realized that when you search the scriptures that God does not commend mankind in the final hour for what they have achieved in this life. God is not impressed with our status – degrees – employment history - titles. Those who found favor

     | 3,687 views

    Today, we continue our study of the word revolution and we concentrate on its final meaning: “The overthrow or renunciation of one government or ruler and the substitution of another by the governed.” Throughout history, we’ve seen many situations in wh

    For the past two weeks we have learned that a revolution is the action by a celestial body of going around in an orbit. It also has the connotation of a sudden, radical and complete change.

    The Unalterable Evidence Series

    based on 35 ratings
     | 20,616 views

    Could anything be a stronger encouragement to faith than the unalterable evidence of what God has already done for the salvation of His people of faith? God who gave so amazingly to provide salvation will certainly give continued & final salvation.

    ROMANS 8:31-34 THE UNALTERABLE EVIDENCE [Genesis 22:2-14] Paul has been making a triumphant presentation of the reasons for the certain sanctification of the Children of God. He has just reached the c1imax of sanctification which is glorification. But as Paul commonly does he lets the ...read more

     | 10,375 views

    There is a progression of how we see and know God. He is A God (creator, etc.); then he becomes THE God (of others, Abraham, etc.); then he is MY God (personal relationship); finally he is OUR God (a community of believers).
