    When the message sounds great, and the proposition sounds as something fantastic, look it all up in God’s Word. The world is anxiously seeking in something to believe; the world is desperately seeking in someone to believe, but we can’t believe everythin

    God's Word will always test you, especially in your darkest hour. Your darkest hour is conquered by your dream. A dream written down is a goal. A goal broken down into steps is a plan. A plan backed by divine action will conquer your darkest hour.

    Turn to Psalm 105:17, as we talk today about when the Word of God tests you. God's Word will always test you, especially in your darkest hour. Listen closely. Your darkest hour is conquered by your dream about your future. A dream written down is a goal. A goal broken down into steps is a plan. ...read more

    Life is full of victories. Sometimes God loves us nearly to death. You don't have to win every fight to be victorious sometimes you just have to survive. The battles you do win are from God.

    “When God Lets You Win” “The Lord answered me with wide-open spaces.” Psalms 118:5 CEB Intro: A priest decides to paint his church one day. He goes out and buys some paint, comes back to the church, and then he realizes that he did not buy enough paint to do the job. ...read more

    It Never Crossed His Mind Again

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,193 views

    Although Jesus was and is fully God, He was and is fully man. He can feel what we feel because, as the Word says, He was “…in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). We are going to look at how His faith was tested, but He did not sin – not even one time.

    IT NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND AGAIN TEXT: HEBREWS 12:1-3 INTRODUCTION: We are told to “consider” Jesus, Who “endured the cross” and despised “the shame.” He endured the shame because of, “the joy that was set before Him.” He is the beginner and finisher of our faith. He walked the way of faith first ...read more

    When God Asks For Your Isaac Series

    God asked Abraham to lay down his Isaac. His story is an incredible picture of the Cross and how God loved us enough to surrender His Son, Jesus, for our sin. Do we love Him enough to surrender our Isaac today?

    It has been said that Christians are like tea bags……they always do best when they get in hot water. In Genesis chapter 22, we find Abraham in the hottest water of his life as God tries his faith. The Bible teaches three key truths about trials in the life of a believer: 1) Trials come to ...read more

    God tested the Israelites in the desert to know what was in their hearts, and tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. God allows external hardships or difficult situations produce good qualities in us.
