    No other word for GRACE but amazing

    THE GRACE OF GOD 1 Peter 1:7/10 “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, you love; in whom though now ye see him ...read more

    Loving God

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jan 28, 2014
     | 8,178 views

    True love for God demonstrates itself when we exalt the savior (not ourselves) and give everything we have.

    In the Broadway play My Fair Lady, Eliza is courted by a man named Freddy, who writes her love letters every day. But that’s not enough for Eliza. Take a look (show video clip from My Fair Lady, “Show Me” song). Eliza's cries out in frustration: “Words! Words! I'm so sick ...read more

    A Christmas sermon that considers the wonder of the incarnation and the implications for the way we live for God

    Welcome and opening prayer – I John 1:1-3 read offstage What's the Big Deal? Why an angelic announcement? Why shepherds worshiping? Why Magi traveling from the East? Why all of Jerusalem stirred by the news of Him, and then a plot to kill Him? The subject we look at this morning is the ...read more

    The Apostle Paul knew the 1) Priority of (Romans 15:25–28) & 2) Prosperity of (Romans 15:29 ) Living in God's Will.

    Open Doors International released its World Watch List earlier this month, ranking the top 50 most dangerous and difficult countries for Christians to live in. “We have seen the sharpest jump in violent attacks against Christians in the modern era,” says Curry, estimating that upwards ...read more

    Glory Of God!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Feb 11, 2015
     | 9,182 views

    Glory of God is difficult to define or explain, one has to experience it! I pray this devotion would take you into the glorious presence of God and you feel His tangible presence!

    Glory! 2 Chronicles 7:1”As soon as Solomon finished his prayer, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.” “I repeat the glory of the LORD filled the temple!” Glory! This word is so often ...read more

     | 8,440 views

    The One True Living God is a God of love, indeed, but He is also a fearsome God of Wrath to those who would rebuff Him, and a respect-worthy Father who chastens those whom He calls sons.

    The Fear of God February 15, 2015 Morning Service Immanuel Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK Rick Boyne Message Point: The One True Living God is a God of love, indeed, but He is also a fearsome God of Wrath to those who would rebuff Him, and a respect-worthy Father who chastens those whom He calls ...read more

    Almighty God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 24, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 22,666 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
     | 21,320 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

    All of our problems would be solved, if we knew who God is, and who we are.

    In years past, I have often made this statement, “all of our problems would be solved, if we knew who God is, and who we are.” Although, I have made the statement many times, and I believe it to be a true biblical principle, I have never taught or preached on this subject, “knowing God.” 1. Is ...read more

     | 12,191 views

    The shadow of God is much more safer than the reality of this world. The world struggles against an unseen virus because it fails to put its trust in the unseen God.

    Shadow of the Almighty We read in Psalm 91:1, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. (WEB) As we continue this study on Psalm 91, we will explore the word ‘shadow’ as mentioned in Psalm 91:1. Those who live in hot places will understand the ...read more

    God has called us, but who are we called to be? We look at that question this week.

    Called by God Ephesians 4:1 August 9, 2020 For the past weeks I’ve been talking about the fact that you have been called by God. I think we would all agree with that. I think I’m on pretty solid ground when I say most of us believe we were created by God to do something significant, something ...read more

    When you read prophecy we may be trying to stop what God has planned for our time thus all of our angst may be in vain.

    Acts 5:38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: 39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

    Do we have the zeal of God? Does it look like we’re saved, or does it look like we’re on a treadmill? We’re moving a lot, but we’re not going anywhere.

    Sermon - The Zeal of God - For me, as a Pastor, I want more than anything to be, as the world says, relevant. - I try to keep in tune with what’s happening in the world, & in the church. - But there’s a very false narrative going on, & has been going for a long time. The ...read more
