    The importance of Jesus' parable of the sheep and the goats

    FOR THE THINGS WE HAVE LEFT UNDONE In my life I suffer from the sin of procrastination and along with that the tendency to forget; whether it’s somewhere I was supposed to be, or something I said I would do.

    The major threat facing the church is False Teaching. So Paul encourages Timothy to concentrate on what matters most.

    Sermon by Rev George Hemmings I wonder what you think the greatest threat facing the church is? Secularism and the push to privatize religion? The rise of militant atheism that’s always ready to attack Christianity? Perhaps it’s young people with their lack of respect? Or old people ...read more

    I look around me and see a world full of the living dead. The sad part is they don’t know they are dead. Paul reminds the Christ follower that they too were once part of "The Walking Dead". And at the time, we didn't know we were dead either!

    “The Walking Dead” by Steve Keeler Ephesians 2:1-3 “1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we ...read more

    Who are we? In Christ, we are CHOSEN FOR GOD'S GLORY. That makes us glorious, and gives meaning and purpose in our lives.

    IN CHRIST, I AM…CHOSEN FOR GOD’S GLORY—Ephesians 1:1-14 (Series on Ephesians: In Christ, I Am…) Did you hear about the woman in Iceland who spent half the night trying to find herself—literally?

    There are all kinds of sermons preachers can bring from God’s Word, but some seem more important than others.

    I would certainly classify this as one of those that are REALLY IMPORTANT! Because it is one of those important sermons, I have asked the Lord all week to help me to preach it in a way that would be pleasing to him.

    Revilers & False Teachers Are Unreasoning Animals Destroying Themselves - Jude 1 V 10 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 13, 2022
     | 1,468 views

    Light accepted, is life obtained, but light rejected, is darkness accepted, and life forfeited. Jude writes of these blasphemers, unreasoning animals acting by instinct, who destroy themselves. Men's hearts follow evil to their own destruction. False teachers will be destroyed.

    REVILERS & FALSE TEACHERS ARE UNREASONING ANIMALS DESTROYING THEMSELVES - Jude 1 v 10 Jude 1:10 These men revile the things which they do not understand, and like unreasoning animals, they are destroyed by these things which they know by instinct.

    God's Purpose For Us

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 20, 2022
     | 2,839 views

    These verses show that God's purpose is to provide good for those who love Him and are the called. So what does it mean: "called according to His purpose"? I think the context of this statement provides the answer.

    Alba 2-20-2022 GOD'S PURPOSE FOR US Romans 8:26-30 Purpose, it is important in life isn't it. You find it everywhere. There is even a website called onpurpose.org. Its founder and CEO, Tom Tippin made the following statement: “We believe in putting purpose before profit. We're a ...read more

    In the words of Paul, we have two practical advice how we can serve in humility: (1) "Consider others better than yourselves" - DON’T OVERESTIMATE YOURSELF, and (2) "Look to the interests of others" - CARE FOR THE INTERESTS OF OTHERS.

    Introduction: Recapping last week’s sermon "We Are Saved to Serve", from the example of Jesus: (1) Choose Service over Self-Interest (2) Always Think Like A Servant Today, I want to talk about HUMILITY and how I achieved it! · Just joking - if I boast about how I achieved it, it wouldn’t be ...read more

    Do we shed tears for those who are lost? How do we sow the seed of God’s Word? With tears in our eyes or do we just go through the motions?

    The Tears of a Sould Winner Psalm 126:5-6 A farmer may weep due to the drudgery of his labour, but after the ground has been tilled, the seed planted and the harvest brought in, the same farmer returns from the same field rejoicing in the fruit he has received.

    Lord, Teach Us to Pray Luke 11:1-13 The Christian life is to be one of prayer. And as much as we know this, we seem to have so much trouble praying.

    God Is Not A God Of Confusion

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 7, 2023
     | 2,154 views

    We must not imagine that the confusion roiling western culture is because of God. Having rejected the Lord, civilization is confused, and without hope of being set right without God's merciful intervention.

    “God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” [1] We live in a world that is increasingly confused—confused about society, confused about the role of government, confused about the sexes, confused about God. And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more
