    Does anyone care? Do you feel like the fifth sparrow?

    “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.” Isaiah 43:2.

     | 3,185 views

    When the crowd was massive, the disciples tired and confused, and the multitude was restless and hungry, Jesus uses a lad’s lunch to save the day. To surprise of everyone, Jesus said, “GIVE YE THEM TO EAT! The bewildered, tired disciples undervalued what they had available.

    Sermon. The Possibility of Undervaluing What You Possess John 6:1-15 “After this, Jesus crossed over to the far side of the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A huge crowd kept following him wherever he went, because they saw his miraculous signs as he healed the sick. 3 Then ...read more

    So let’s see what God has to say to us and for us from Sarah’s perspective in this story.

    Well I thank you for joining with us and being here today. We’re going to look at Genesis 21 and Galatians 4. I call this two-for-one Sunday because actually there’s going to be two sermons today. These two sermons are represented in the passage that we’re going to look at, both in the Old ...read more

    Unanswered Prayer (Part 3) Series

     | 2,292 views

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Matthew 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life and an excellent means of communication with our Heavenly Father. We can express our deepest longings, fears, joys, and hopes through prayer, seek God's guidance and help and intercede for others. However, sometimes it seems God is not answering ...read more

    Genesis Chapter Twenty-One Series

     | 1,810 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty-One. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Isaac the promised child is born which causes strife between Hagar and Sarah. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 21 Isaac is born, is circumcised and weaned. At Sarah's request Hagar is driven out; to whom, ...read more

    Stress is part of life. Without stress, there is no life. With burnout on the rise, it’s important now more than ever to manage stress in our personal and professional lives.

    What is Stress? Stress is how we react when we feel under pressure or threatened. Distress occurs when stress is severe, prolonged, or both. Distress is stress that negatively affects you and Eustress is stress that has a positive effect on you. Good Stress and Bad Stress Examples of negative ...read more

    The on-going contention between the son of Hagar, and the seed of Sarah

    ISHMAEL. Genesis 21:8-21. The history of Ishmael and Isaac is the history of the struggle between flesh and spirit, between the carnal seed and the spiritual seed, between the world's way and God's way. In the first place, Abraham had faith. The LORD pointed him towards the ...read more

    What God Can Do With A Little

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,074 views

    Here begins the beautiful story of “Feeding the Five Thousand,” which is told by all four of the evangelists and this is the only event from the earthly ministry of Jesus told in all four gospel. It shows what God can do with a little!

    The first outstanding event of Jesus feeding of the five thousand, occurs right after the report of the twelve apostles, who had just returned from their first missionary tour. This is a glowing account of their work and their teaching. Matthew says that Jesus withdrew to a desert place apart when ...read more

    Faith is the distinguishing mark of the Christian. Did you know that the Christians were called believers before they were ever called Christians? Believers – this is the distinguishing mark of a Christian, is he or she is a believer

    Abraham, Our Spiritual Father We continue to examine the story of Abraham, the father of the faithful. Our story today happens about 4,000 years from our day before Israel exits Egypt in Exodus – does that help you place our story? And even though Abraham lived so long ago, he remains vitally ...read more

    Roaming In The Wilderness

     | 2,713 views

    The wilderness is not a pleasant place to be, but when one is lost in the wilderness; death is almost certain. The wilderness of life can be cruel, but God is able to deliver all who trust in him.

    TEXT: Genesis 21:14 "So Abraham got up early the next morning, prepared food and a container of water, and strapped them on Hagar’s shoulders. Then he sent her away with their son, and she wandered aimlessly in the wilderness of Beersheba." THE WILDERNESD The desert or wilderness is not ...read more

    Sermon # 42 - Time To Rise Up Series

     | 855 views

    Jonah was seated in the wrong place waiting for God to pour out His wrath on the city of Nineveh. There were many others in the Bible who were in the wrong place like Jonah. If we are in such a place, God reminds us to rise up and go, to fulfill His purposes for our lives.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to the city of Nineveh with a message. When Jonah preached, the people of Nineveh received the ...read more

    Divine Timing: The Promise Comes To Pass!

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 7, 2024
     | 711 views

    Trusting God's promises not only gives you a blessing at the end, but it gives you a blessing while you are waiting.

    Today, we are in chapter 21 of the “From Dust to Life Series” in Genesis. What we will see in this passage is the end of the 25-year long wait for God’s covenant promise to Abraham and Sarah. As we have said earlier in this series: God is never too late and He’s never too early. Though sometimes ...read more

    Bad Decisions #1 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024
     | 837 views

    Waiting in times of struggle (either because of our own bad choices or God’s timing) is the ultimate action of faith.

    What to eat, what to wear, who to respond to first, what to prioritize at work — each of us makes hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions each day. Some of these choices have larger consequences than others. For starters, who we choose to surround ourselves with, where we live, who we worship, ...read more

     | 880 views

    Hagar’s story is a powerful reminder of God’s compassion for the rejected and the outcast. Her life teaches us to trust in God’s plans, even when circumstances seem unfair. No matter our situation, God sees, hears, and provides for His children.
