    Are you satisfied by an ordinary life or hungry for God?

    An appetite for godliness “What does God expect of me?” “How should a Christian act under pressure?” “Am I pleasing the Lord and honoring Him?” Answers to these questions can be found throughout the Bible, but there is one section of the Word, where Jesus Himself answers these questions and ...read more

    When God is in the house, things are different. Inspired by a message at the 2011 Evangelism Conference by my friend, Dr. Kevin Hamm.

    A Word to the Church God in the House Luke 7:36-50 * (READ TEXT) A few weeks ago, I heard a preacher say these words (with which I concur); “As believers, we are told to tell other people about what Christ has done for us, in us, and through us. After we tell them and win them we bring them back ...read more

    Be Imitators Of God

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 5, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,415 views

    To call for Christians to imitate, or live like, their God is just as needed now as it was 2,000 years ago.

    Ephesians 5:1 is rather plain, “Be imitators of God.” As God’s children, we have no higher calling or purpose in life than to be like of heavenly Father. The Way of Christ is designed to reproduce godliness in our lives and therefore mold us and shape us into the image of God. ...read more

    based on 3 ratings

    Missions didn’t begin with the Great Commission. Missions began with God. It beat first in His heart before it was ever breathed into His church. God now identifies the local church as the center for world evangelism thru loving service & giving.

    The Mission of God -Usually, when we think of missions we think of the Great Commission. But missions didn’t begin with the Great Commission. Missions began with God. It beat first in His heart before it was ever breathed into His church. Darrell Guder writes, “We have come to see that ...read more

    The Unrelenting God Series

     | 7,286 views

    God did not give up on Ahaz, despite his idolatry and unbelief. God came to him through prophet Isaiah, assuring him and urging him to trust Him.

    We are going to look at our unrelenting God, the One who never give up on us. We looked at the five kings of Israel in chapter 15. It ends with an account on King Jotham of Judah. • Jotham did what was right in the eyes of the Lord but not perfectly because he did not remove the high places of ...read more

    Cultivating a personal relationship with God is a deeply meaningful journey—one that blends intentionality, vulnerability, and spiritual practice. Eventually, this relationship impacts all our other relationships. What is your relationship with Jesus?

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “The Story.” INTRODUCTION: God desires to build a personal relationship with each of us, cultivating our hearts, character, and purpose to reflect His love and grace in the world.

     | 1,841 views

    Peter's prejudicial sentiments lingering like a foul odor in his mind collided with God's grace. Only a fresh breath of God's grace, could clear the air, and open up the door to a world of Gentiles who were waiting to follow Christ.

    Sermon - God’s Grace On a Collision Course Scripture: Acts 10:1-23 “In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment. 2 He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household.

     | 1,058 views

    Unless you happen to be like the man who said: "I am not prejudiced, I hate everyone!" All of us if we are honest are prejudiced. When prejudice is in operation, it will always collide with God's grace.

    We learn from this sermon what it means to be a bold witness, what bold witnesses can expect to encounter, and what God does through bold witnesses.

    BOLD WITNESSES Acts 4:8-20 We recently had an encounter in our church’s regular weekly outreach program where one of the families we visited accused us of harassment. We weren’t guilty, of course. But I still had to spend some very anxious moments at the local police station trying to sort ...read more

    The Resurrection Series

    Contributed by Gary Moore on Feb 4, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,819 views

    Matthew’s account of the resurrection. Matthew’s narrative of e Galilean encounter with the disciples is a culmination to the gospel which accentuates the Trinitarian nature of God and the mission of the believer.

    He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. The gospels each relate the account of the resurrection according to their own purpose, consequently there are considerable differences between the Gospels (refer to the recent bulletin insert for a harmonization of those events), but with all the ...read more
