    If we want to see God’s will done in our lives, then we must commit ourselves to doing things His way.

    Doing It God’s Way Acts 21:27-40 Intro: As we have followed Paul through the past few chapters of Acts, we have witnessed someone who was willing to give up his own way in order to do what God had called him to do. That is not always easy to do because we are too easily convinced that our way is ...read more

    Passion For God’s House

     | 8,153 views

    This message looks at four reasons to have a passion for God’s house. First, it is a place to satisfy our passion; secondly, it is a place for all to take refuge; thirdly, it is a place of blessing; and last of all, it is a place we would rather be.

    I want you to think about how you feel whenever you decide to attend church. Do you dread going to church; do you feel complacent about it; or do you anticipate going to church with a fervent passion and desire? In our message this morning, we’ll view a passage from Psalm that’s said to be ...read more

    Approaching this Mother’s Day message, two distinct things came to mind. The first was the lovingkindness of God, and the second was the story of Hagar. Therefore, what we will be looking at is then Hagar and the lovingkindness of God.

    God’s Loving Kindness Psalm 63:3 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b38ttun-apc As I was approaching what to say for this Mother’s Day message, two distinct things came as I was in prayer.

    God’s Great Love

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,492 views

    Let me ask you TWO questions:

    (1) WHY DOES GOD LOVE MANKIND? Why? Because the Bible says GOD IS LOVE! He can’t help Himself - GOD IS LOVE! (2) WHY DIDN’T GOD MAKE US AS ROBOTS AND CREATE US WHERE WE ALL WOULD HAVE TO LOVE HIM? Illus: Most of us, have seen some of these little doll babies that the toy companies make. As ...read more

    People expect only the ceremonial from the church. But God wants to give us a rich, varied, and outward-reaching life.

    Last week you seemed to get a big charge out of my little story about going to a wedding rehearsal and wasting time waiting for a key person to arrive. When I said that I didn’t know what we’d do on Sunday afternoon if he didn’t show up, you let out a belly laugh. You assumed I was talking about ...read more

     | 20,892 views

    The Surrendered Life is what God requires. Anything else falls short. If we expect victory we must surrender.

    THE SURRENDERED LIFE Text: Galatians 2 : 20 The word surrender conjures up many pictures. We think of Japan’s surrender at the end of WW II. Maybe we picture the celebrations in Times Square. To some it may be the image of Saddam Hussein and his spider-hole. And to others just a simple wrestling ...read more

    As followers of Jesus, we should expect to face opposition, but we can trust that God has "cut the cords of the wicked."

    Introduction Pastor Eugene Peterson tells a story from his childhood—a story about having to deal with enemies. For him it came in the form a school bully who beat him up every day after school. It seemed no matter how young Eugene tried to avoid him—in the forms of alternate routes and ...read more

    If we deliberately keep on sinning ... then there are no sacrifices left, only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

    If We Deliberately Keep On Sinning Scripture: Hebrews 10: 19-39 Story: Michael De Rosa tells this story: Two elderly, excited Southern women were sitting together in the front pew of church listening to a fiery preacher.

    Expect oppositions in life and ministry, but stay focused. Listen to what God has to say, not man. Repay with grace, not justice.

    How do you handle oppositions - people who do not like you, make fun of you, and always coming at you, with or without good reasons. • And worst still, you can’t run away from them; you are called to serve them. That’s Moses’ experience. And that can be our experience ...read more

    God not only deserve our praise He expects our praise before, during and after He blesses us.

    Introduction: I have discovered that every noise is not a holy noise. Praise to God should not be forced by a worship leader or anyone else during worship.
