    God Is Bigger

    Contributed by Michael Monica on May 21, 2015
     | 13,209 views

    An introduction to reveal that God is bigger than the issues around us.

    God Is Bigger Isaiah 41:10 “Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” I really hate to admit this but I am really one of those people who happen to be more ...read more

    Obey God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 26, 2015
     | 5,508 views

    When we obey God by doing things such as loving an enemy, people will be amazed because it is not the logical thing to do. Obeying God is the Christian thing to do. When we obey God, we don't know what the result will be, but God will bless our obedience

    Acts 5:27-42 is a story about obeying God regardless of the consequences imposed by mankind. Like Peter, we as Christians are to obey the Lord rather than man in situations where the two are in conflict. For example, when obeying our political leaders would cause us to do something that goes ...read more

    GOD PROVIDED A WAY TO CONNECT TO HIM.

    CONNECTION WITH GOD OBSERVATION: GENESIS IS THE BOOK OF BEGINNINGS. ADAM AND EVE FAILED TO OBEY GOD IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND GOD CAST THEM OUT. THE REST OF THE BIBLE SPEAKS TO GOD’S DESIRE TO REACH OUT AND RESTORE THAT WHICH WAS LOST IN EDEN. THIS WAS DONE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. THIS ...read more

    We as believers need to walk in love, it should be at the core of who we are in our heart.

    The sermons that I have listed are 30 to 40 minute sermons. I have only listed the points and a couple of comments under each point of each sermon to give the preacher a remembrance which the Holy Spirit can lead on and speak through the man of God. John 15: 11-13 "These things I have spoken to ...read more

    As disciples of Jesus Christ, we can live confidently and boldly knowing that God holds us in the palm of God's hand.

    Psalm 27:1-6 “In God’s Hands” INTRODUCTION Today is one of two Sundays when we celebrate parenthood and family, as a nation. I have to agree with the thoughts expressed on the short video that we viewed that parenting is the greatest privilege one could have. I realize ...read more

    WE have testimony from which one can base their faith.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • Our faith should change our life. Our faith should change who we are, what we do, what we think, and how we think. • Faith is no small issue. Biblical faith is LIFE changing! • When we look at verse 5 we see how special faith ...read more

    Almighty God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 24, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 22,663 views

    It is not God's nature to be limited or weak. In removing all limitations of power, we arrive at the omnipotence of God, and we have access to that power to live effectively in an unholy world.

    In Handel’s Messiah, the famous “Hallelujah Chorus” quotes the Book of Revelation, proclaiming: “For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!” (19:6). Omnipotence means “able to do all.” God is all-powerful; He is unlimited. He can do all that He wills to do. ...read more

    A Jealous God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 1, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,311 views

    God is “jealous” in the sense that He expects complete, exclusive devotion; not merely a partial, lukewarm, half-hearted religious observance. Worship belongs to God. He is worthy of worship and has a right to be “jealous” of it.

    The Bible clearly teaches that God is a jealous God. That doesn’t sit well with us; the very notion of the jealousy of God sounds offensive. We think of jealousy as an entirely negative quality--a sin. Yet God declares that He is jealous. God restricts allegiance to Himself alone: ...read more

    The God Of Peace

     | 8,731 views

    These words carried the weight of the world and brought the savior of mankind. You cannot love the baby Jesus and not accept the risen savior. You cannot have one without the other. You cannot have peace, true peace without Jesus.

    The God of Peace Isaiah 9:6-9:7 Introduction- Isaiah 9:6-9:7 As you are turning there, I want you to know the story of Christmas never gets old. In fact we should be spreading the message of Christmas all year long. Each year I try to look at Christmas with fresh eyes, but I should not have ...read more

    What does it mean to please God? How can we please God?

    Pleasing God . . . IT’S A PLEASURE Dr. Lewis Gregory 1. Parent-child Illustration: One of the unique features of the parent-child relationship is that children have a natural desire to please their parents. In the same way, we as children of God desire to please our Heavenly Father. ...read more

    The Sovereignty Of God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 8, 2015
     | 9,415 views

    God’s the infinite Ruler of all; He is “running the show.” Nothing can prevent His predetermined plan. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Those who see God’s hand in everything can best leave everything in God’s hand.

    It’s been said, “How do you make God laugh? Tell Him your plans” (G.K. Chesterton). Our plans aren’t always in line with God’s. We may try to fight God’s will, but someone pointed out, “Your arms are too short to box with God” (J. W. Johnson). The ...read more
