    Why Me Lord?

    based on 14 ratings
     | 27,321 views

    Where are you, Lord? Why can’t I find you when I need you? I’ve looked for you in my past, in my future, in my present; I’ve looked into the sky, in the bright lights, in the darkness; I can’t find you anywhere, God.

    Job 1:1(Read) 1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God, and turning away from evil. (NAS) There is not a soul here today who has not at some point asked, Why? Why, Lord? Why me, Lord? Why did I lose my job? Why did I lose my loved ...read more

    In light of Jesus’s judgement on those who claimed to have been rightoues and Jesus Mission statement for His life, Matthew gives us conclusion that no matter how hard you may try, you can’t be righteous. The only way you can be saved is through Jesus who

    What Is Hell?

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
     | 3,685 views

    Scripture describes God as both an all-consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29) and an illuminating light (Psalm 119:105; 1 John 1:5). Both the rich man and Lazarus saw the same reality: God in all His blazing glory. One expereinced heaven; one expereinced hell.

    Intro Many people believe that Christianity is one, big, fat lie. It must be, they assume, because they see so much injustice in this world. They say, “How can there be a God if He allows so much evil to exist?” Even in the Bible we find complaints about injustice in this world. ...read more

    We must honestly consider the question: DO I REALLY TRUST GOD? More than words, will our 5 senses lead us away from the plan of God. Often our emotions and words disagree with THE WALK OF FAITH. We must bring our words and emotions tothe light.

     | 9,269 views

    Our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. So, let us push aside the deeds of dark, behave as the children of light, and clothe ourselves in the image of God. Let not this pandemic situation push you away from God, but let it bring you closer to Him and His salvation.

    Now, Our Salvation is nearer “And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; For now, our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.” Romans 13:11 We are entering into a testable moment of time in our lives.

    So what part of “Go” do you think we do not understand as the Body of Christ today? Jesus told us to “Go” to be His witnesses to the world around us which means our neighbors and those across the seas. Jesus gave us the green light to be His witness to th

    Genesis 1.14, tells us that God created the Moon & heavenly lights to be for signs and for seasons and for days and years. It’s like God wants to signal us about His appearing/coming. If so, what is the signal? What “signs” should we be aware of?

    The Message I Would Like To Have Delivered At The Presidential Inauguration Prayer Service On 21 January 2025 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 28, 2025
     | 72 views

    I was horrified at what was said at President Trump’s Church Prayer Service on 21 January 2025. It was godless. I sat down and wrote out what I would have said for that event. Please understand this message in the light of that, not an intrusion or anything; just before the Lord and His word.

    MY MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH SERVICE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP At the outset, I need to say, I am not being precocious here, so please do not judge me as that. Please understand. As an outsider and not residing in the United States, it does give me one advantage of being more impartial. I was so ...read more

    How Many Roads Can A Man Walk Up?

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 22, 2024
     | 564 views

    Hinduism, Sikh, Islam and Christianity. Are these all just different ways to get to God? How do we get to God? This morning, we look at what God's Word has to say on the topic, and what Jesus means when He says, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light.

    . I rarely go off our lessons and get distracted by Current Events when it comes to my preaching. However, something happened this week which I thought really gives us the opportunity to discuss something very basic but essential about our Christian faith.

    We must... 1. Let God's light shine in our hearts (vs. 16-21). 2. Put the Creator above His creation (vs. 22-25). 3. Let God's Word set our standards (vs. 25). 4. Run away from what God rejects (vs. 24-31). 5. Receive God’s grace for our guilt (vs. 32, 16-17).

    Simeon and Anna don’t get much press. They’re never in any of the nativity scenes; they’re not mentioned in any carols and I’ve never seen a Christmas card with them in it. It’s like … they weren’t all that important! But God thought they were. Find out why.

    "I Quit! Part 1 Series

     | 10,272 views

    To be new in Christ means to "Quit" being "of the world." What are you "quitting" today? Those who take this message to heart and begin enacting some of these principles, will begin see the breakthrough they’ve been needing, wanting, and desiring.

    While I was preparing to write the message for today, the Holy Spirit asked me, “Where are my people getting their milk from?” As I began writing the first words, the Holy Spirit asked me again, “Where are my people getting their milk from?” With each word I wrote, the question became more ...read more

    Are Birth Defects Of God? Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,681 views

    This message challenges the doctrine, the belief, that God is responsible for birth defects. It also examines the question "Do children come from God?"

    I have three children. At each of their births, my wife did what mothers tend to do – she held their hands and feet and gently rubbed them. I now know what she was doing. She was counting fingers and toes. And we always thanked God that He blessed us with healthy, normal children. A few years ago ...read more

    An Altered Gospel Is Creeping Into The Church

     | 13,921 views

    There are far too many people standing in the pulpit who are teaching false doctrine. What we’re seeing in the Church today was prophesied more than 50 years ago. This message looks at a portion of that prophecy.

    In February, I saw a short videoclip of a young, charismatic pastor preaching to members of his congregation. I want you to listen to what he said. “I don’t beat nobody up for smoking, drinking and having sex and doing all that, not because I did it, but because I can relate. I can relate.

    A Vision Of World Peace Series

     | 4,441 views

    Isaiah has a vision of peace. This vision came from God. What Isaiah gives us here is totally different from "visualizing peace". We need to see what Isaiah saw. The vision of peace the prophet saw and foretold.

    The subject of peace has universal interest. There are international conferences in process working toward world peace. Why is there such an interest in world peace? It is because of the atrocity of war and the devastation it brings. You may have seen the bumper sticker, “Visualize World Peace.” ...read more
