    CLOSE ENCOUNTERS SERIES 3 – JOSEPH This morning, we’re continuing our sermon series on “CLOSE ENCOUNTERS” and we’ve been talking about the great heroes of the Bible who’ve had close encounters with God, and how that no matter… --who you are --what ...read more

    A Good Plan That Went Awry – Or Did It? Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 24, 2021
     | 2,492 views

    A unanimous apostolic plan that went awry, Jewish rumors, gentile riots, and an apostle getting a ride on Roman soldiers. The purpose of the Christian life is not to avoid problems; indeed, God can sometimes use our problems to further His plans.

    A Good Plan That Went Awry – Or Did It? (Acts 21:17-40) 1. The invention of Post-it notes is interesting. What seemed like a failure was turned to a great success: In 1968, scientist Spencer Silver at the 3M company created a very weak adhesive that would peel off when removed from any surface. ...read more

     | 2,807 views

    Backsliding is a serious danger that every believer must guard against. It often starts subtly, but if not addressed, it leads to spiritual destruction.

    THE DANGER OF BACKSLIDING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Proverbs 14:14 "The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself." Supporting Texts: Hebrews 10:38-39, 2 Peter 2:20-22, Revelation 2:4-5, Jeremiah 3:22, Luke ...read more

    Sermon from Matthew 2 dealing with the four prophecies Matthew cites as being fulfilled in that chapter and through seeing God’s hand at work then, we can know He is at work in our lives today.

    Sermon-1/7/07-Out of Egypt-Matt. 2:13-23 Read Matt. 2:13-23 OT over 330 prophecies concerning the coming Messiah. Chapter 2 matt.

     | 7,114 views

    Anytime there is a new initiative in the kingdom of God, resistance will arise. Where God is at work, the enemy is also at work. Rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem was certainly no exception to this. When people take kingdom priorities seriously, people res

    Scripture speaks of two diametrically opposed principles for living, and for approaching God. The one is faith, and the other is works. It is all too easy to assume that we are walking by faith, when in fact, we are living by works (legalism). In this tex

    Lego My Church Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 4, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,799 views

    This message deals with the fact that the church belongs to God not us. The church must work together and work in unity and not allow divisiveness to enter in. My powerpoint slides used a background from a model that was built from legos.

    “Lego My Church” 1st Corinthians 3:9-16 You may have heard of the Crystal Palace Exhibition. It opened in London in 1851 and the purpose of it was to display some of the inventions of the day.

    Jesus’s Reality, My Reality

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 16, 2020
     | 6,035 views

    Jesus says we can do the works that He did. So why aren’t more Christians doing them? This message identifies nine reasons why the body of Christ, in general, is not doing the works of Jesus.

    Jesus’ Reality, My Reality For the most part, the Church, the body of Christ, doesn’t understand who it is as it relates to being part of God’s family. Please turn to 1 John 3. (1) Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God [that we ...read more

    Pray With Expectancy Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Jan 6, 2020
     | 15,749 views

    Prayer that Works takes work, along with persistence, risk, and righteousness before God. In this sermon, we're going to try to close the gap between what we say about prayer and what we practice.

    Good morning. I invite you to turn in your copy of God’s Word to James chapter 5, but also to put a bookmark in 1 Kings chapter 18, because we are going to spend some time there as well. The story is told of the western town that had experienced a hard drought. One of the local churches announced ...read more

    It’s About Heaven

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018
     | 3,413 views

    The idea of Heaven works its way into every culture like the way that yeast works its way through the whole dough. Even in Communist China the Gospel of Jesus is being told and shared and people are coming to faith.

    It’s About Heaven Matthew 13:31-32 Matthew 13:33 Luke 18:1-8 Back to the Parables of Jesus Today we will quickly look at 3 of them. Did you know that the parables are about the Kingdom of Heaven?

    Graced Into Giving Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Oct 28, 2019
     | 7,221 views

    Guilt is a terrible motivator, because it works from the outside in. But grace works from the inside out. If you want to increase giving in your church, don't preach about tithing. Preach the gospel.

    We are in the second week of a series we’re calling “Overflow: Living the Generous life.” As I told you last week, I want to be transparent with why we are doing this series at this time.

    The first disciples preached the resurrection of Jesus and Mark 16:20 says Jesus worked with them confirming their message with signs. What would happen if we testified to the resurrection with expectancy, giving Jesus opportunity to work with us?

    All saved people will be judged and rewarded according to what they did or did not do for Jesus after they were saved, if their works were good they will be rewarded, if their works were bad they shall suffer loss, yet they themselves are saved.
