    God Uses Our Personality Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 14, 2018
     | 4,722 views

    Many of our conflicts arise because we have different personalities, and thus different perspectives. When an issue comes up — especially one that is neither black or white — we tend to latch onto the response dictated by our personality.

    God Uses Our Personality! (Acts 15:36-41) 1. Happy Mother’s Day to our moms! We appreciate you. 2. Moms have a variety of personalities. Here is a true account: My mother is always trying to understand what motivates people, especially those in her family. One day she and my sister were ...read more

    Before It’s Too Late

     | 6,743 views

    As a spiritual people it is important for us to realize the spiritual signs of the times that we are living in. By the time that Jesus arrived the Jews fell into a kind of spiritual numbness that led to complacency. For them it was just another day.

    Before it’s too Late Luke 12:54-59 54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the ...read more

    Too often we are concerned about the ministry of others, Jesus reminds us that we need to be concerned about the ministry He had called us into.

    What About John? John 21:17-21 In 1991 Bill Murray starred in a movie about a manipulative, obsessive-compulsive patient who tracks down his psychotherapist, who is on vacation. The patient ends up completely taking over the doctor’s vacation. The movie was called, “What About ...read more

    From Small Beginnings Series

    A sermon showing how a church can start small and grow from there.

    Introduction: Look at this picture of these two kids. See the difference in their sizes. It is hard to believe that just two years ago the one on the left was the size of the one on the right. Little by little they grow, so little that it is hardly noticeable from day to day. The day after Hannah ...read more

    Something Greater Than The Temple

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 6, 2017
     | 4,777 views

    The disciples marveled at the architecture of the Temple and Jesus prophesied that it would be destroyed. What do we know about the Temple and it's predecessor, the Tabernacle. As they marveled at the Temple they neglected the One who was greater!

    Matthew 23:37-24:2 (please open your Bibles as we read this passage) Here Jesus is prophesying the destruction of the second temple. (Temple timeline) First temple built 960 BC – destroyed by Babylonians 856 BC - Materials gathered by King David - Constructed by King Solomon - Idolatry enters ...read more

    The Emerging New Stewardship Role In The Church Is Key To Effective Leadership.

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on May 26, 2020
     | 5,059 views

    The church has stayed too long in the wilderness of failed leadership. Now is the time to use the stewardship calling to accomplish the role of leading the church into the new dispensation after the crisis of the pandemic has run her course.

    The present pandemic crisis has revealed the inevitable need for good leadership and governance not only in the world, but in the church as well. Daily we are experiencing and witnessing the failure of leadership in many high places. In fact those who are supposed to lead are failing the calling. ...read more

    Jesus commissioned His disciples to "Make Disciples of All Nations!" The work of the Five-Fold Ministry is to achieve this objective.

     | 2,692 views

    The Christian faith is not mere ideas, not a series of facts or depictions of reality, no, it's more. It's alive, and burning brightly like a fire. It's not mere emotions either, there's daily practice to it, a true walking and living of it.

    Strengthening Leadership In The Church

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jun 27, 2020
     | 4,220 views

    Thus, believers limit leadership to the secular world and the places where citizens socialize, political establishments, corporate business, sporting activities, and professional gatherings in society. The price is the low and unworkable leadership structure in the body of Chris

    Therefore, there is a need for the restructuring of the present church model if she desires to project Christ's government and leadership to the world. There must be an all-inclusive, team spirit, true unity, and a three-but a single-level model built upon the membership, stewardship, and ...read more

    Knowledge of God’s Word and doctrine is an important part of Christian growth and maturity; it is not enough, but it is foundational. We vary, one from another, in our relationship to it.

    Missing Pieces (Acts 18:24-28; 19:1-10) 1. A not-so- bright gal calls her boyfriend and says, “Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get it started.” He asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?” The girl says, “According to the ...read more

    Our evil is infinite. There is no length, width, size, quantity, or any dimension that can give parameters or boundaries to our evil.

     | 2,037 views

    All believers are stewards of the Kingdom of God. As we meander through life, we need to face the realities about keeping the Kingdom a priority while doing what we can to improve its future impact.

    Keeping Kingdom Central Despite Life’s Winding Paths (Acts 20:22-36) 1, Life can be filled with amazing coincidences. 2.

    Ripple Effect Of Our Decisions

     | 5,939 views

    Often times, we can make a decision and it will have a ripple effect. Vashti made a decision and it set in motion an incredible ripple effect.

    I have often read about Queen Vashti and have felt that she does not get mentioned as much as she should. We often read the Book of Esther and focus on many important people, good and evil, in the book but we rarely talk about Vashti. It is her one decision to reject the earthly king's request ...read more
