    Our sin is that we do not know who or where we are, or where we need to be. We can discover that by setting no boundaries, taking risks, and finding that in God we are already where we need to be. Luther Rice Memorial Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD

    “Watch where you plant your feet!” That’s the command I hear every time I work in the garden. “Watch where you plant your feet!” My job is to clear out dead leaves and old twigs. I open up the flowerbeds for spring. But to do that I have to step into the flowerbeds; I cannot reach all the ...read more

    Because of who Christ is and who he has called us to be in His church, we must walk worthy of His calling.

    1. The first step to walking Jesus’ call is a worthy walk. 2. The second step to walking Jesus’ call is a well-disciplined walk (4:2-3) 3.

    By looking at the results of Adam and Eve’s sin, we can see a pattern for what sin does in our own lives.

    1. There is always a cover-up (7) 2. There is always conviction (8-11) 3. There is always culpability (12-13) 4. There is always a curse (14-19) 5.

    Sometimes things do not look as they really are. Christ did not look like a King when He stood before Pilate and that was Pilate’s downfall.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,671 views

    This prayer serves as a model for us in prayer, both in praying for ourselves and praying for others in the family of God. This three phase prayer builds, each phase upon the previous, culminating in a request that God’s ultimate goal be reached in us.

    A Prayer For The Church Family Ephesians 3:14-19 One of the best ways to discover a Christian’s chief anxieties and ambitions is to study the content of their prayers and the intensity with which they pray them. We all pray about what concerns us and we are evidently not concerned about matters we ...read more

    As Christians are we expected to exercise dominion over the winds? .When Jesus rebuked the winds they obeyed. How come a boisterous wind blew when Peter step out of the boat and why is the bible specific about the names of each wind? Is there something

    By Bode Ayodele There are various winds in the earth. Each wind serves a specific purpose. Going through the bible you will notice that each type of wind is called by its specific name. We also discover from the scriptures that different winds play different roles. The bible mentions four major ...read more

    Third in the "Back to the Basics" series, exploring the foundational beliefs of Christians. This sermon addresses the question, "What do Christians believe about Jesus Christ?"

    You all remember Peter, don’t you? One of the very first people to jump on the Jesus bandwagon, THE first to declare that Jesus was the Messiah. He travelled with Jesus and listened to him teach, witnessed his miracles… Peter may have been on the right track in following Jesus, but he’s also a ...read more

    Pressing Into His Presence Series

    based on 17 ratings
     | 31,418 views

    Worship is not merely a response to God, but it is also the pursuit of God. God pursues us, and yet for some odd reason, He seems to be just beyond our grasp when we seek Him. The pressing into His Presence is the choice of our will to worship Him.

    Encountering God - Part 2 – Pressing Into His Presence Overview Last week, I laid a foundation for what I believe to be the biblical nature of worship, starting with the fact that God has created mankind to worship Him. That worship arises from a relationship with Him. The bible says in the ...read more

    To really be able to understand and immitate Jesus we have to understand His Jewishness and the Jewish time and culture into which He was born.

    Introduction: A. As you know, most religious groups have identifying characteristics. 1. A kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment of bringing something to represent their religion. 2.

    This message followed up one on the Biblical Bridal Paradigm, and reflected on the motivation of living and participating in ministry out of love.

    (Opened with a homemade "YouTube" video to the Toby Mac hit, "Made to Love") Last week we explored our love relationship with God. This idea of a “holy romance” through such long standing hymns of the faith as “And Can It Be” and “My Saviour’s Love” and “My Jesus I Love Thee.” This week, it is a ...read more
