     | 3,028 views

    We have been studying CHANGE...There are many traps that try to keep us in habitual ruts. I think the Lord is calling His people to change, to grow and to develop. Death lies ahead at 1440 minutes a day. Come hear the call to change.

    THE TRAP OF WAITING… DENIAL, HIDDEN SNARES By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I have a large rat trap. (I release the spring, so it does not go off.)

    As Christians, we fully understand that it is important to Play Nice With Others. Can I tell you that’s a concept that is much harder from some than it is for others!

    TITLE: PLACE NICE WITH OTHERS SCRIPTURE: ACTS 15:36-41 I am not sure what has been going on with me the past few weeks, but it seems like I have been getting irritated rather easily. Lately, things seem to bother me all the time. Usually that is an indicator for me to spend more time in the ...read more

    Explores the importance of doing good for the right reasons, persevering in our efforts, and the impact of unwearied goodness on our lives and community.

    Good morning, everyone. It's such a joy to see you all here today, ready to delve into God's word together. We're going to be focusing on a passage from Galatians today, specifically Galatians 6:9-10. But before we get to that, I want to share a quote with you. It's from A.W.

    "I Am The Good Shepherd” – He Laid Down His Life - John 10 – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022
     | 3,538 views

    Part 2 of "I am the Good Shepherd" looks at what the good shepherd does and then Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Then we examine Jesus as The Sacrificial Shepherd who gave His life to save the sheep. To close, Jesus is the Chief Shepherd.

    “I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD” – HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE - John 10 – PART 2 The study of the great “I AMs” of John’s Gospel is so lovely as we look at the Person and Ministry of our Lord Jesus. In all His offices He is serving His Church and all the individuals in the Church. Those are termed sheep, and ...read more

    "So Close And Yet So Far!"

    Contributed by Lee Miller on Aug 22, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,529 views

    I believe there are hundreds of thousands and maybe even millions in the church of America and around the world who are close to, in other words, “not far from the Kingdom of God.”

    “So Close and Yet So Far!” It was one of the best football games ever. Remember Super Bowl XXXIV between the Rams and Titans? In the final seconds Tennessee was driving for the game-tying touchdown and on the final play Kevin Dyson caught a pass over the middle and lunged ...read more

     | 683 views

    The God who opens closed doors is not limited by time, space, systems, or enemies. His authority supersedes that of men and principalities. When He opens a door, it stays open.

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Nov 21, 2025
     | 381 views

    Every closed door has a divine purpose behind it. God never shuts one door without preparing a better one. His “No” today may be leading you into a greater “Yes” tomorrow.

    It's A Wonder-Filled Life

    Contributed by Mark Otero on Dec 21, 2010
     | 3,806 views

    A Christmas message. Most people have no problem getting up for Christmas but what about the day after? This message is based on Luke 2:20 from what I see as the shepherds return to "normal" after God has broken into their lives.

    "It's A Wonder-filled Life" Luke 2:20 "Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them." Intro: Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" is, by far, my all time favorite Christmas movie. George Bailey finds out that even ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,541 views

    Jesus the "Good Shepherd"; is a very under estimated phrase. What does this truly mean, and where is the power in this expression? Does the enemy have a similar policy? You will be surprised.

    Welcome Grace and peace to you from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen Today we look at that passage again where Jesus tells us that he is the Good Shepherd, and there are a lot of references to sheep, so I warn you before hand, ... it has a powerful ending though. The 23rd Psalm is ...read more

    My hope is to challenge each of you towards leadership. But I warn you that my definition of church leadership that I am challenging you with today is a little different from what you might be thinking leadership within the church is all about.

    Let’s pray. Father, Open my eyes so I can see Your truth. Open my ears so I can hear Your voice. Open my mind so I can understand Your Word. And open my heart so I may receive all that You want me to receive. AMEN Today and next Sunday we are going to look at the challenge Jesus issued ...read more
