Get Out Series

Contributed by S. R. Manohar on May 28, 2021

The obedience that the Lord required from Abraham was nothing compared to the blessing that the Lord promised. Today also my dear young friend, God is asking you to Obey His voice and receive immeasurable blessings. The Bible says "Obedience is better than sacrifice".

"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless ...read more

Real men DO cry at times, but there are rules. Recently, GQ magazine shared those rules in a humorous article actually written by a woman. She said, “Male crying is not new.

Getting Tripped Up By The Flesh Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 19, 2007

The three things that trip up Christians after major victories for the Lord are arrogance, independence, and giving into the flesh. Learn how we can actually become our own worst enemy and how to stop it!

The two greatest enemies to living a victorious life in Jesus Christ are the world and the flesh. While the world presents itself as an impenetrable walled city, the flesh appears much more subtly: as just a few small baubles, a little temptation here and there that surely can’t hurt anything. Our ...read more

Getting Ready For The Last Supper

Contributed by James May on Mar 15, 2011

Elijah met the Widow of Zarephath just as she was preparing to eat her last supper. It's a wonderful story of God's provision if we would only learn to trust him.

Get Your Heart Right

Contributed by Don Baggett on Mar 5, 2010

The real problem that we face in this world today is a problem in the hearts of the people of God.

If I told you there are many problems in this world, I wouldn't be telling you anything that you don't already know. You can categorize the problems anyway you wish, but when it comes right down to the lowest common denominator, and if we are willing to accept the Bible, it is a problem of God's ...read more

I Can't Get No Satisfaction Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Aug 11, 2016

This sermon begins the series in which we want to encounter and honor God in our lives and church. The only real satisfaction we have in life is God. Everything else is a poor substitute.

1. If She Doesn't Hurry... When J. K. Rowling was having trouble finishing her fifth Harry Potter book, her fans grew impatient. One was quoted as saying, "If she doesn't hurry, we're going to move on to caring about something else." That reflects our age. Our attention spans are short, and we want ...read more

Getting Your Hands Around God’s Love Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 29, 2018

Maybe the reason we love our sin more than we love our God is that we don’t really understand how much our God loves us! Paul describes God's love as wide, long, high, and deep. Each of these words will help us grasp more of God's love for us.

Getting Your Hands Around God’s Love Ephesians 3:14-21 Ever wonder why it’s so hard to live the way you know God wants you to? You have that one little temptation that keeps getting you, no matter how hard you try? You feel like you could have written Romans 7, where Paul says, “I don’t do what I ...read more

Get Connected Bear Fruits Series

Contributed by Gabriel Adeyemo on Oct 5, 2019

We are created to be connected to our God. He demands a permanent relationship from us. It is only in Him we can flourish, be stable and fruitful

One major truth about this age is that if you are not connected you will be isolated. William James says, “We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.” The topic for today’s sermon is derived from a command given to us by Jesus Christ in the Gospel ...read more
