    Simon, Simon

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,707 views

    The very first thing that I noticed about our text is the doubling of Simon’s name in Jesus’ statement, “Simon, Simon”.

    The doubling of words almost sounds like people when they stutter. Often people who stutter repeat their words. I love to hear people who stutter. I do not mean that in a derogatory way, I REALLY ENJOY HEARING PEOPLE TALK WHO STUTTER. Illus: A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes ...read more

    People have many natures. Some are "sweet". Others are "mean". Some are passive. Some are "intense". Whatever your nature, it was given by God but shaped by the world. Is yours under God's control?

    GENESIS 1:26-27 - THEN GOD SAID, "LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, ACCORDING TO OUR LIKENESS; AND LET THEM RULE OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA AND OVER THE BIRDS OF THE SKY AND OVER THE CATTLE AND OVER ALL THE EARTH, AND OVER EVERY CREEPING THING THAT CREEPS ON THE EARTH."

    Marriage And The Church

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 11, 2015
     | 3,742 views

    The traditional vows between a man and a woman at the time of marriage are beautiful and full of self abandonment and commitment. We who are in the Church, are there because of a mutual commitment between Christ and ourselves, like marriage.

    Marriage - what a wonderful creation of God! Just yesterday Pastor Karenlee and I were privileged to perform a marriage ceremony for two of our friends who live in Rochester! May the Lord bless their union and their lives. Jesus Himself believed in marriage. Listen to what He told the Pharisees ...read more

    God Delights In Bad Odds

    The more unlikely the situation (if we pray), the better God likes it. God likes to show His hand, but He won’t do it unless we step out and depend on Him to come through in order for us have success. God likes the “come-from-behind” position.

    GOD DELIGHTS IN BAD ODDS 1 Sam. 14:6-15,23 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BOUDREAUX DUMPING TRASH 1. Boudreaux pulled over on the side of the highway and was dumping his trash beside the road.

     | 184 views

    Faith is a lifelong journey shaped by grace, renewed through truth, and lifted daily by seeing God more clearly in Christ.

    Matthew 16 : 24-27 (ESV) “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

    Palm Sunday is named after the Palm Tree leaves that the Israelites laid across Jesus' path as He came into Jerusalem as the Messianic King. Palm trees have amazing qualities that are compared to believers and can inspire your people.

    Consumed With God: The Pursuit Of God Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 23, 2024
     | 965 views

    We are consumed by God completely… while our obsession used to be selfishness and self destruction and we were very excited about that, we now pursue knowing God with abandon.

    My wife tells me that I sometimes become nearly obsessed with certain things. I get so focused on something it consumes me. I fall into the pool after staring into it too long. Are you like that? I have a bit of an obsessive, addictive personality. I want it and I want more. I want to learn more. ...read more

    What it means to be born again John 3:1-7 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

    Trials and temptations will come. One tempts you to sin against God while the other tests you to trust in God. Which will you follow?

    12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But ...read more
