     | 5,244 views

    If there’s one thing that plagues Americans it’s anxiety. We worry about so many things. We worry about things that the rest of the world aren’t even aware of. Have you heard the term, “first world problems”?

    OUTLINE The Way of Joy Philippians Chapter 1 Steele Creek Church, Eastfield – Dr. Tom Bartlett March 1, 2020 Biblical joy: a deep sense of satisfaction, given by the Holy Spirit that settles the heart and mind because of what God has promised.

     | 20,500 views

    Have you ever sought fulfillment in life from the things God has given rather than from God? Solomon had a great start, but then lost his first love and turned to things to find fulfillment, but found nothing but emptiness.

    Solomon – Wealth, Wisdom & a Worthless Life 1 Kings 9:1-9; 11:1-6 Slide Intro Good Evening/Morning. We are glad you are here and I am happy to once again be back up here preaching.

    The Bible makes us to understand that the spiritual existed first before the physical. Once you understand this principle, many things become clear. The Bible also makes us to understand that things like bondage, freedom, power, anointing, etc. are spirit

    Fruit Of Our Lives

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 4, 2015

     | 5,012 views

    The Jews consecrated their first-fruits to God as His in a special sense. All Christians are meant to be the first-fruits, the promise and earnest of better work (Romans 8:23). What are the fruits being manifested from your lives?

    Opening illustration: In the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Kerri Strug faced the trial of her life. She had injured her ankle on the vault and was in great pain as she approached her final attempt to determine whether the U.S. gymnastics team would win the gold medal. She moved the crowd with an ...read more

    How Do I Make Room For The Tide?

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Mar 12, 2022
     | 2,343 views

    The idea for the points sermon came from a picture of a sermon slide I saw on Facebook shared by a fellow preacher. It was about how giving God our firsts leads to success. If you give God your best, He will pour His Best into your life!

    TITLE: How Do I Make Room For The Tide? I. OPENING ILLUSTRATION: "Years ago, a wealthy businessman from London chartered a bus to carry a busload of urban children to the coast. There, the children spent a wonderful day at the ocean. Many of the children had never left the city. Most had ...read more

    To overcome worry: Ramp up worship. Re-align ambitions. Trust God, one day at a time.

    Healthy Disciples: A LIFE WITHOUT WORRY—Matthew 6:25-34 (Read the text first.) “Do not worry…” What would it take for you to stop worrying? Would 10 million dollars be enough money? Would a cure for cancer set your mind at ease? Worry is a common human thing. People worry about their kids or ...read more

    The Problem Of Spiritual Chill

    Contributed by David Dewitt on Sep 2, 2009

     | 3,530 views

    Christians have the ability of losing their passion and desire for serving Christ

    The Problem of a Spiritual Chill I love living in Ohio. I am a Buckeye through and through but there is one thing that I don’t like about Ohio, cold winter days. We either have it relatively mild and not overly cold or there have been times when Alaska is warmer than we are. This by the way is no ...read more

    Lesson From Adam And Eve

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 652 views

    Adam could have repented and come back to God. God gave him a chance to repent. But instead of admitting the fault he blamed his wife (Genes 3:12). If Adam had admitted the fault of disobedience to God, God would have forgiven him.

    God could have stopped Eve from sinning. Do you think God did not know when satan was entering the garden of Eden? Was God unaware of satan tempting His precious child Eve? The closing of Genesis 3 speaks about God keeping Cheru-bims to watch over the garden with a flaming sword (Genesis 3:24). ...read more

    This message explains the true meaning of Redemption and describes the steps that God has taken to secure our eternal Salvation.

    Heaven Exists

    Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 22, 2021
     | 1,962 views

    Yes, heaven exists but the description of the three (or more) levels of heaven are illusive. Also, do we have bodies there? Are we conscious? Do we have tactile feelings similar to what we experience now?

    Heaven Exists Before we get into the existence of heaven, let's consider exactly when do we go? As with numerous Biblical topics, many churches, under Christianity's umbrella, have different beliefs on these topics. The following are my thoughts as reinforced by the specified verses from ...read more

     | 3,230 views

    By rising from the dead, Jesus proved His authority and power to break the bonds of sin and to assure forgiveness and eternal life to all who accept His gift of salvation. Securing our victory over death raised up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

    Benefits of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Today we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, the day Jesus Christ raised from the dead, not Easter, which has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, the Resurrection, or anything Holy no matter how people try to spin ...read more
