    based on 1 rating
     | 15,380 views

    It appears that Jabez came from a dysfunctional family, with a mother who tried to lay a guilt-trip upon her son, and a father who is not even mentioned in Israel's genealogy list.

    Married For The Glory Of God

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 28, 2024
     | 857 views

    Marriage belongs to God because God created it and has defined it. God's purpose for the marriage of a man and woman is to bless them and their family and to illustrate the relationship between Christ and the church.

    Introduction: A. Today, I am going to talk about being married for the glory of God. 1. Two weeks ago, I shared a sermon called “Single for the Glory of God” in which I talked about the importance of serving God as singles, whether that singleness is short-term or long-term. 2. Last week, we were ...read more

    Standing In The Gap As An Intercessor Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 18, 2025
     | 1,000 views

    Standing in the gap as an intercessor is a powerful and vital role in the body of Christ. God desires individuals who are willing to stand before Him, interceding on behalf of others—be it individuals, families, communities, or nations.

    STANDING IN THE GAP AS AN INTERCESSOR By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Ezekiel 22:30 "And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none."

    So often we go from the mountaintop to the valley of despair, how does God get us through to the other side? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    Begin with clip from Hee Haw TV show. Gloom, despair, and agony on me. I remember many a Saturday night gathered around the TV as a child with my family. We enjoyed a lot of laughs as we watched sketches like the one we just viewed. This was the first thing that came to mind when I knew I was ...read more

    Dis functional family, lack of self control, anger, vengeance and ambition caused the downfall and death this young man named Absalom. The life of Absalom teaches many lessons to parents and young adults.

    II Samuel 14:25-27 & II Samuel 18:33 Absalom, the 3rd son of King David was a handsome young man. He was exquisitely good looking in the entire land of Israel (II Samuel 14:25).

    Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord, which allowed him and his family to rise above the flood. This story serves as a reminder that God's grace can lift us up in times of hardship.

    In the book of Genesis, we read about Noah, a man who found favor in the eyes of the Lord. In a time when wickedness was rampant and every thought of man's heart was evil, Noah stood out as a righteous man. God saw this and decided to spare Noah and his family from the impending flood that would ...read more

    Sermon # 20 - A Seared Conscience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,464 views

    If we do not listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we will allow our consciences to grow weak and get seared. The life of Lot and David will help us understand this better.

    In 1 Timothy 4:1-2, we read, “The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons. Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.” (GNT) Our ...read more

     | 2,133 views

    John uses familial, language (e.g., children, young men, and fathers) to talk about the fellowship/koinonia, the church. These are terms to describe Christian maturity. The church is energized by a flow of those in each stage of maturity.

    Has Christianity been rejected by many based on a caricature which has been mistaken for the real thing? Perhaps! Yet, John calls us back home, to our foundation, to the fundamental matters of our faith. God uses John to help the church repair that which is broken, to correct the twisted ...read more

    In today's world, a well told story will be heard regardless of the content. Luke tells Paul's conversion story, giving us a framework in which to share ours. Consider these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.

    Read Acts 9:1-31. Pray. What is the most memorable sermon illustration you’ve ever heard? I’m pretty confident that the first thing that came to mind was a story. I’ll take it one step further- I’ll bet it was a personal story the preacher told on himself. If I’m wrong, you can collect an extra ...read more
