    What Leaders Are Called To Do

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jan 11, 2014
     | 9,927 views

    Leaders are equippers. It requires hard work. It renders our work to become more effective. It rests on teaching the word of God.

    One of the most thought-­‐provoking articles I’ve read lately is “8 Reasons Most Churches Never Break the 200 Attendance Mark.”1 Now the author Carey Nieuwhof is not saying that it is a sin to be a small church. He just analyzed why it stays small. Nieuwhof clarifies that ...read more

    We can’t find our worth in our work, but we can worship God by how we work.

    You Can’t Take it With You Ecclesiastes 2:18-26 Rev. Brian Bill July 27-28, 2024 Billy Graham was fond of saying, “You’ll never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul.” That is, until now, because I came across a picture of one this week. As we continue to journey with Solomon in his search for ...read more

    Can you relate to Peter’s overconfidence that led to failure? Let’s find some red flags so we can eliminate some opportunities in our lives to fall.

    Tell your neighbor, “My God knows!” Look to you other neighbor and tell them, “My God knows all about my sins.” Tell the person behind you, “My God knows all about my sins, and He has forgiven me and loves me.” If you don’t hear anything else today, hear that!

    Faithful Saying-Paul is going to be giving his young preacher boys some topics that they should preach on, these topics had been and should be preached on time and time again, so much they had become sayings, just like we have sayings. 1 Tim 3:1-7-This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the ...read more

    Go Tell It On Mt. Carmel Series

    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,183 views

    We turn our successes into failures because we see only the negatives, and we need approval. But in the Incarnation God accepts our incompleteness and offers us His unconditional love.

    All of us want success. All of us need success. If you don’t care about doing something well, you are in sad shape. You are in trouble if you don’t want to succeed at something. And yet the problem is that we are our own worst enemies. We defeat ourselves time and time again. We take ...read more

    We can be complacent or strive toward quality work, for excellence.

    Sloths are mammals who move only when necessary and even then very slowly. They’re known to dig their curved claws into a tree branch and hang without effort for hours-on-end; they are as unmotivated as they look! Sloth Sloth is something we make jokes about, but few think of it as sin. ...read more

    Even There: The Invisible Hand Of God In Unlikely Places

    Contributed by Randy Bataanon on Dec 18, 2025
     | 70 views

    Life sometimes takes us into unexpected places — the mountaintop of success or the valley of failure, the dawn of change or the loneliness of distance. In those moments we often ask, “Lord, are You still here?”

    EVEN THERE: The Invisible Hand of God in Unlikely Places Text: Psalm 139:7–10 (NIV) “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the ...read more

    Faith generates action - faith empowers the work of the church.

    Don't just sit there James 2:14-2:18 Just a couple of weeks ago we finished up on a series of messages that I had hoped offered encouragement for the members of this church to be ready to receive God vision …perhaps even to spark a yearning to look for what God wants to do with us. ...read more

    What Easter Meant To Peter

    Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Apr 8, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,488 views

    Easter was intensely personal to Peter because of his massive failure in denying the Lord. His post-resurrection encounter with the risen Lord on the Sea of Galilee shows the incredible love of Jesus.

    What Easter Meant to Peter Chuck Sligh April 8, 2012 TEXT: Mark 16:1-8 – “And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, ...read more

    It’s interesting that the first time wine is mentioned in the Bible, it is connected with drunken behaviour. BUT IT IS HAM’S DISRESPECT, NOT NOAH’S FAILURES THAT FEATURE IN THIS STORY.

    Genesis 9 – Part 3 – IF I CALL MY DAD AN IDIOT, AM I CURSED? Here’s the story – Noah gets drunk and gets naked in his tent. He behaves badly. He fails in terms of his witness to his family. He fails God in that he’s way out of control. It’s interesting that ...read more

    David’s life was a mixture of great victories and serious failures, but his devotion to God remained constant. He was not perfect, but he was quick to repent and seek God’s mercy.
