    Sodom was guilty of six sins and the first on the list was "pride". What is it about pride that makes God so angry and how can we avoid that sin?

    OPEN: A man told of driving West Texas highway. There were no cars in sight and he was going about 70 mph when suddenly, as he went over a crest in the road, he could see up ahead a huge hawk feeding on a rabbit who’d been killed by a passing vehicle.

    A Hiding Place For The Repentant

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 8, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,374 views

    Before we can enter into the blessings which follow forgiveness, we must first admit our sin, and acknowledge our responsibility before God.

    A HIDING PLACE FOR THE REPENTANT. Psalm 32:1-11. The beatitudes of Psalm 32:1-2 remind us of Psalm 1:1-2, which describes the righteous man and proclaims him blessed. Yet, since the fall of Adam, no mere man has been born with original righteousness. The second Psalm leads us to the place where ...read more

    Skeletons in God’s Closet, intro They are lurking in of our closets, things that we wished we had never done, words we wished we had never spoken.

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 17, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,949 views

    This message deals with the difference between “praying” verses just “saying prayers.” Faith is first and foremost a heart issue; but it is not complete until it is express in our actions.

    Mark 11:22-24 01.03.16 Intro We have been talking about prayer. To be a real New Testament church, prayer is essential and foundational. Jesus said, “My house shall be called a house of prayer….”i This is the missing element in today’s church. People interact with people; but are they genuinely ...read more

    The first part shows Peter as a prominent person, and in the second part, Paul was a prominent figure. Above all, the Holy Spirit was important than these two apostles...

    INTRODUCTION TO ACTS Title: In fact, the book had no title until the middle of the second century AD. Acts 1:13 served as the base to title it as ACTS of the Apostles.
