    I don't know about you, but Most people like friends who are actually interested in them, and I can say with confidence...there is no one more interested in you than God! Far to many aren't used to hearing themselves saying...God loves me!

    John 13:22-25 MSG The disciples looked around at one another, wondering who on earth he was talking about. One of the disciples, the one Jesus loved dearly, was reclining against him, his head on his shoulder. Peter motioned to him to ask who Jesus might be talking about. So, being the closest, ...read more

    Be Careful Of Divisive Spirits

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023
     | 1,210 views

    The goal of a divisive person is to cause conflict. "I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching you received. Keep away from them" (Rom. 16:17, GNT)!

    People that participate in divisive arguments have an unhealthy interest in creating strife. However, a mature, faith-filled person recognizes that participating in contentious discussions will not end the matter. With the knowledge of God and the wisdom of the Lord, we understand that calmer ...read more

    Genesis 1:1 is simple, short, yet profound. (I will lean on Core 52 resources during this series; I also want to thank Dan Raymond, who is a friend of mine, for some of his resource help. James E Smith's book on the Pentateuch was helpful in this message)

    INTRODUCTION • Today, we begin our Core 52 journey together. • Before we dove in, here are some housekeeping items to cover. • Each Sunday (except on Faith Promise and for a couple of weeks in December), Jerry or I will cover a chapter in the Core 52 book. • We will follow the sequence in the book: ...read more

    We are living in a time when pews once filled with laughter, prayer, and praise now sit quieter than they used to. Where are the people? Where are the families we used to see every Sunday? The friends we used to hug? The children we watched grow up? Where is everyone?

    This sermon begins a short series of the main stories people know from the book of Daniel. This set up "young Daniel and his 3 friends." It teaches how Nebuchadnezzar changed the minds of children and how Daniel helps us to stand our spiritual ground instead of conform.

The kingdom fell because of sin and God allowed them to be taken into captivity. The southern Kingdom should have taken a great warning ...read more

     | 4,434 views

    Who can be an intercessor? Some believers have a mental picture when the word Intercessor or intercession is being spoken. They think that the intercessors are a special breed of Christian who are specially selected by God to conduct spiritual warfare. Is this really true?

    Why Jesus Taught Us To Fear God Rather Than People

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 39 ratings
     | 9,381 views

    Jesus taught His disciples, "I will tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell."

    It is easy to feel intimidated around powerful people. However, King David, who knew what it felt like to be afraid of powerful people who sought to destroy him once wrote, "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." (Psa. 34:4) Jesus taught His disciples, "I will ...read more
