    Walking With God

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Mar 12, 2021
     | 5,304 views

    I love reading of the heroes of faith that walked with God and He did amazing things through them. Enoch walked with God and we can learn to walk with him also.

    Walking with God Prayer- Good morning I have to tell you I am ready to hear from the Lord! Amen? I come to every service with this attitude… what do you want to say to me today Lord. I come with an expectation that He will speak to us. I believe it is His desire to speak and is not unusual for ...read more

    "The Craftsman At God's Side"

    Contributed by Don Schultz on Jun 2, 2004
    based on 63 ratings
     | 13,574 views

    Christ as a craftsman, makes our world, and our salvation.

    Proverbs 8:22-31: THE CRAFTSMAN AT GOD’S SIDE Have you ever watched a craftsman working hard at his craft? Maybe you’ve watched a construction crew build a house. While we were remodeling this building, I watched all kinds of craftsman - a carpenter, a plumber, an electrician – each one worked ...read more

    If God is a consuming Fire and you have been baptized with Fire and the Holy Ghost, are you on Fire for God?

    On Fire for God John 5: 32-35. As I was studying God’s word and Praying to the Lord, the Holy Spirit stirred my heart about the ministry of Maple Grove. I reflected back on past Sunday numbers, past services where the Holy Spirit moved in miraculous ...read more

    Letting God Be God In Death #1 Series

    Contributed by Norris Harris I on Jan 1, 2003
    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,095 views

    This is the first in a series of message dealing with Letting God Be God in all areas of our lives. This offering is an attempt to show how we can allow God be God God when we experience the pain and perplexity of Death.

    “In the first month the whole Israelite community arrived at the Desert of Zin, and they stayed at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.” On Saturday a week ago, I went to King’s Convenience Store across the way to procure some nutriment for my body, because I had become famished. And while I ...read more

    God’s Finished Work Of Creation Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 6, 2023
     | 836 views

    35 verses give us a complete insight into the mind of God as author, creator, sovereign, all-powerful, and later even as redeemer. In these verses we can see Him and all that He is, and choose to worship Him in His glory!

    Alpha and Omega, Part 6 God’s finished work of Creation Genesis 1:26 – 2:4 Introduction - We’ve begun the year with “one purpose”: Knowing there is a God! -- Just as a building requires a builder, a creation must have a Creator - Continuing our series, “Alpha and Omega”; looking at ...read more

    Finding God

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Apr 26, 2011
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,339 views

    Where is God? This was my first sermon at a new church, and it showed several priorities: worship, ministry, and outreach.

    Acts 17:16-28 – Not Far From Each One of Us Today I would like to share with you a fairly simple thought. It’s been debated and dissected over the years. A person may not know what to do with it, but one thing is for sure: you can’t escape it. That truth... is that God is near. ...read more

    Friendship With God

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 6, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,047 views

    Prayer is more than just asking God. It is communion between two friends. God seeks friendship with man, for He is an intensely personal God.

    The passage we’ve just read today is prayer – when a man meets God and talks to Him. It is, the Bible says, “as a man speaks with his friend” (v.11). We will not fully understand prayer if we think about it only as something to do with asking something from God. Prayer is not just about ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,322 views

    Because of the work on the Temple had ceased, God sent a preacher with a message. God message was that their concerns for their own houses was inappropriate which resulted in undesirable consequences. Haggai closed the message with a challenge for them

    They Came and Did Work Haggai 1:12-15Text Verse: Haggai 1:14 Haggai 1:14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and ...read more

    The Tragedy Of Trash Talk Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 3, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,197 views

    The real tragedy of talking trash is that it hurts people and damages our relationship with God. How we treat (speak of) others not only affects them, but it affects our own closeness with God.

    The Tragedy of Trash Talk James 4:11-12 11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the ...read more

    Prostitute Wages

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 11, 2024
     | 288 views

    It may not be physical idols but when you forego prayer, Bible and close walk with God and give more importance to 'salary, promotion and making money' then God calls it prostitute wages.

    Hosea 9:1 "Do not rejoice, Israel; do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to your God; you love the wages of a prostitute at every threshing floor." " You love the wages of a prostitute" are very strong words against believers who live a double ...read more

    This sermon has one main point... "YOu are as intimate with God as YOU choose to be."

    Intimacy With God Psalm 27 Let me ask you to help me this morning. SLIDE #2 I want you to fill in the blank. “For me, the most important thing in life is ___________.” Now, let me tell you this, If your answer was anything but YOUR relationship with God… you are not as intimate with Him as you ...read more

    Near To God Series

    Contributed by Tim White on Mar 1, 2015
     | 5,055 views

    Christ has made us near, and that work is the most power factor in our lives today.

    (This sermon was preached with a pair of sunglasses sitting on the top of my head, reasons to be seen later in the sermon.) Every Church longs to see revival. I am not talking about a series of revival services. Those can bring about spiritual awakening, but seldom do. I’m talking about the ...read more

    God's Presence - Seeking God For Himself.

    Contributed by Hannah Pinkstone on Dec 13, 2002
    based on 38 ratings
     | 17,110 views

    God wants us to spend time with him. But do we want to spend time with him? How can we? why should we? Do we come to God on his terms or ours?

    I once told a friend that all I wanted was to be happy in God’s presence. And I guess what I’m saying this morning is as a result of the reply I received. Because I was reminded, that I shouldn’t seek God for my own happiness, I should seek him for himself. Seeking God for himself. (But what ...read more

    The Good And Beautiful God: God Is Generous Series

    Contributed by Scott Walker on Sep 12, 2011
     | 6,746 views

    Although we all must live under the principle that we reap what we sow, God is a God who reaps where He does not sow and gathers where He did not spread seed. He will generously offer us mercy and grace.

    “The Good & Beautiful God: God Is Generous” 1 Peter 2:9-10 February 6th, 2011 "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were ...read more
