Power To Succeed Series

Contributed by Barry L. Davis on May 2, 2013

The fact is, there is nothing in the Bible to suggest that God has quit working with power through His people – and I have come to the conclusion that the fault does not lie with God, but with those of us who claim to follow Him.

The book of Acts found in your Bibles records for us the history of the early church and how God used ordinary people to build His kingdom. While we call it the “Acts of the Apostles” it would be more accurate to call it the “Acts of the Holy Spirit” as it was the Holy Spirit moving through, in, ...read more

Return To God With All Your Heart Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 14, 2020

We see the longing of God's heart for His people to return to Him. They were not bringing in the tithes and offerings because their hearts have strayed from God. It is a problem of the heart.

Let’s recap last week message. God will judge. He is the righteous and just God. • Delayed judgement does not mean He is unjust. God is being patient and merciful, not wanting anyone to perish under His judgement (cf. 2 Pet 3:9). • He will come as a refiner’s fire, not to burn and destroy His ...read more

Daily yield control so the Spirit can animate every thought, word, and deed.

Introduction I know that it is rude and impolite, generally speaking, to ask personal questions. There are just certain questions that people should know better than to ask.

Justice is based on the idea that every human has been created by God, carries the image of God and is special to Him. Therefore the true worship of God should always lead to justice, righteousness and loving our neighbor.

Worship Wars

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Nov 7, 2006

Sermon to handle the increasing division over style of music in worship (contemporary vs. traditional). We sing for God’s benefit and not our own. Yet God continues to inspire us with a new song and styles of worship.

In the last month or so I have heard some interesting comments. I’ve heard, “we don’t sing enough of the old hymns,” or “I don’t like the new music,” and I have also heard “we are singing too many hymns,” or “we sing songs too slow.” Interesting isn’t it? Whenever people are involved there are ...read more
