    A study of the pitiful account of Saul's disobedience of the will of God and what came of him.

    “So, Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the LORD in that he did not keep the command of the LORD, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance. He did not seek guidance from the LORD. Therefore, the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David the son of ...read more

    Jesus is our much needed intercessor to bring us near to the Father

    Introduction: My family often enjoyed visits to the boyhood home of George Washington Carver, just 15 minutes outside of Joplin in Diamond, MO.

     | 1,633 views

    What are we passing on? Are we just remembering history, or are we continuing the legacy? Are we walking in the faith and strength of those who came before us? Because whether it’s a hat, a prayer, or a testimony—we are here today because someone before us refused to quit!

    Sermon Title: “From Bondage to Breakthrough: God’s Hand in the Story of His People” Main Scripture: Exodus 3:7-8 – “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to ...read more

    The light should be near blinding casting a shadow over all the others.

    1 Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

    This sermon came after I had resigned from my church. It was helpful for the congregation and myself to realized that God is faithful and would bless all as we went our separate ways as long as those ways were HIS!

    GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS Lam. 3 Intro: Of course this book of 5 laments takes place just after the Fall of Jerusalem [587] and the destruction of the temple. Surely there was something to cry about. More so than anything else was not just what had happened rather why it happened. These ...read more

    Scripture tells us that not one word that Samuel spoke fell to the ground. Every word came to pass! What was Samuels secret? This sermon tells his secret.

    SAMUELS SECRET In this day and age of broken political promises, deception and lies most people feel betrayed by their leaders and institutions, and may I say somewhat embarrassingly the Church. However the Bible tells us about a man “whose words never dropped to the ground” a ...read more

    Jesus identifies the gods in this Psalm as those to whom the word of God came.

    THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF DELEGATES. Psalm 82:1-8. Like the book of Job, Psalm 82 opens in the counsels of heaven (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7). There the ‘sons of God’ came to present themselves before ‘Yahweh’ (the LORD), ‘and Satan came also.’ Here it is “God” (‘Elohim,’ the majestic plural) ...read more

    Their white garments, and golden crowns seem to indicate that these 24 represent the redeemed. The question is which redeemed? Not Israel because they aren’t saved until near the end. Not the unsaved because that happens after the 7 year tribulation.

    Call it Anything but Boring Revelation 4:1-11NKJ After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” 2 ...read more
