    God desires to work miracles today for His people and the lost. Like rain, if the conditions are right, God still answers believing prayers with miracles. He usually uses people as His agents. Will you let Him use you?

    IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING 2 Kings 7:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: “Brunette Joke” 1. One day, Hannah decided that she was sick and tired of all her husband Arnold’s brunette jokes and decided to show him how wrong he was and to prove that brunettes really are smart. 2. Hannah decided ...read more

    I Stand In Awe

     | 5,442 views

    Without a proper understanding of Jesus as King we miss one of the most exciting elements of who Jesus is. It's an understanding that can change your life.

    “I Stand in Awe” Malachi 4:1-6; 2 Thess. 1:5-12 Sometimes it is difficult for us to identify with biblical and theological concepts. For example, since we are unfamiliar with the nature and functions of a king, it is hard to get excited about Jesus as King. Yet without a proper ...read more

    I have heard it said that Baptists favorite book in the Bible is the Book of Numbers. We are always looking for nickels, numbers and noses. Or is it bodies, buildings and budgets…or people, properties and payola? Too often, we seek more! But Jesus lost

    God has already supernaturally provided for every situation that we will ever come up against, all ready been there, summed up the situation and made provisions, for you to be standing with your chest out and you’re head held high, when it’s over!

    "You can trust me" Go ahead and Jump! I don’t think that, there’s any parent that has not said those exact words to one of their children, be it by a pool side or something else that required them to jump, as the form of their only exit. All the while patiently standing there to catch them, with ...read more

    Jesus said his purpose was to give us "a rich and satisfying life." But sometimes it seems our life is a lot less than satisfying. Did we miss something in what He said?

    Last week we talked about our dependence on God as He is the One with our future in his hands. We made a Declaration of Dependence on him that read; “We hold this truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal in sin, that through grace, they have been endowed by ...read more

    What determines our relationship with Him is whether we become bitter or crave for Him more than ever knowing our entire life dependence is on Christ our Lord and King. This craving is just the advent of revival of our lives.

    Opening illustration: A shepherd, who had spent many years with flocks on the hills of Scotland, asked me if I had ever seen a sheep eat while lying down. When I confessed that I had not, he told me that no one had ever seen a sheep eat in that position. “If a sheep is lying down,” he ...read more
