    Encourages trust in God's guidance during challenging times, recognizing His work in our lives, and finding hope in His ability to create new beginnings.

    What Does The Bible Mean, To Be Born Again?

    Contributed by William D. Brown on Jan 1, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,531 views

    We might be surprised if we really knew how many people there are that really don’t understand, what being “born again” really means, and what being “saved” really consists of.

    John 1: 12-13 WHAT DOES THE BIBLE MEAN, TO BE BORN AGAIN? 1-3-09 I believe this is the appropriate message to start the New Year out with, becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus. Listen as I read today’s text found in JOHN 1:12-13 12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become ...read more

    Standing Up For What’s Right

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 3, 2017

     | 23,177 views

    Sometimes we have to stand up for what's right. We need to remember that God knows our plight, we need to fear God above people, and we need to humbly take a stand. The Hebrew midwives in Egypt stood up to Pharaoh, and God remembered them for it.

    Exodus 1:8-21 Standing Up for What’s Right Recently I watched the movie, “Hacksaw Ridge.” It documents the true story of Private First Class Desmond Doss, who enlisted as an Army medic during World War II, but refused for religious reasons to carry a weapon.

    Who do you call on for help? Ghostbusters? The cavalry? Call on the one who can really help. God!

    Who Ya Gonna Call? I know many of you like to travel and many of you travel by car. A trip by car takes longer than a trip by airplane so you have a lot more time to think, visit, sightsee, imagine, and sing. When you travel with children, you have to keep them from getting bored. ...read more

    The Prayer Of Sorrow Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 5, 2006

     | 56,272 views

    Why would Jesus pray to have the "cup" taken away, if He knew that wasn’t going to happen? Was His prayer simply an excercise in futility, or was there something more to it? I learned some surprising truths as I prepared this sermon.

    OPEN: A minister noticed a young boy kneeling off to the side of the room after youth group and praying very fervently. As the preacher came within earshot of the boy, he was surprised to hear the boy saying: "Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo." After the boy finished his praying the preacher approached him ...read more

    Like the Israelites in the wilderness, we complain too easily. Learn what a complaint to God is, and be surprised at what happens when we complain to God.

     | 14,700 views

    Ever felt like when you were going through a tough time, that God seemed silent or distant? It is at that time that God does His most beneficial work in us. Teach from the prophet Habakuk the lessons of trusting the Lord during tough times.

    When God is silent Habakkuk 1:1-1:10 Introduction- Turn with me to Habakkuk 1:1-1:10. Habakkuk is located in the Old Testament between Nahum and Zephaniah. Habakkuk is not easily found and not preached from often. Habakkuk was a minor prophet and little is known about him. We do know that he ...read more
