    In this sermon, we learn how to have a connected heart like Jesus. We can do so through listening to God through His word, practicing God's presence in prayer, and seeking God's face in worship.

    God has opened the way to having a close, personal and intimate relationship with Him. Are we seeking after that type of relationship?

    LONG AGO, EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST RECORDED WORDS OF GENESIS 1:1 SAID, "IN THE BEGINNING," GOD LOVED US AND CHOSE US IN CHRIST JESUS TO BE HOLY AND WITHOUT FAULT IN HIS EYES.

    The Heart Of A Servant

    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 9, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,792 views

    Good morning church! I want to explore the valuable lessons on having a servant's heart that we can learn from 1 Timothy 6:11-12. As we look into this passage, let us be inspired by the example of the apostle Paul and reflect on how we can cultivate the heart of a true servant in our own lives.

    Point 1: Pursue Righteousness (1 Timothy 6:11a) A servant's heart is rooted in a deep desire to pursue righteousness. It involves a deliberate choice to walk in obedience to God's commands and live a life that aligns with His will. Proverbs 21:21 - "He that followeth after ...read more

    The Wife As The Heart

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 24, 2023
     | 711 views

    Do you have any idea why God would create women in the fashion He did? Why the rib? Not the ankle, foot, hand, head, neck, but the rib. That which is the closest to the heart.

    Tonight, we will apply the functions of the physical heart. To this of the wife or the mom in the home. 1. The Bible teaches the man is the head, the leader, the provider, the decision maker. 2. The Bible teaches the man is to love his wife, “as his own body” Ephesians 5:28-29. 3. I don’t feel ...read more

    This the second sermon in a series based on The Book of Proverbs. Based on the TV game show "Let's Make a Deal," in which contestants struggle with the desire of their hearts -- to win "big" prizes or money, the choices we reveal the desires of our heart.

    I’m going to assume that you all are familiar with a popular little game show called “Let’s Make a Deal.” It’s been on for, like, ever it seems. The “contestants” are offered various “mystery prizes” to choose from. Some of the prizes are really amazing and some of the prizes … well, they’re ...read more

    Unless and until you believe in your heart that Jesus rose from the dead you will not be changed from a sinner to a Saint. For many people is it the 18 inches between the head and the heart that is the obstacle to their faith in Christ.

    A Matter of the Heart Romans 10:8-9 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised ...read more
