     | 4,099 views

    We seemed to be governed by appointments. Appointments are good tools, but do we forget we have divine appointments. There must be more to life than "I WANT TO BE HAPPY."

    DIVINE APPOINTMENTS By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com HEAR THE CRY OF THE PEOPLE: ALL I WANT IS TO BE HAPPY! THERE COMES A LEADER THAT WILL BRING HAPPINESS FOR 3 ½ YEARS… BEWARE.

    Realistic Reminders Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 17, 2020
     | 2,529 views

    We need reminders to keep us realistic about human social behavior, about our tendency to accommodate our own sin, and about the nature of government leaders.

    Realistic Reminders (Proverbs 28:11-16) 1. Everyone is forgetful at times. The difference is often this: some people remember they are absent-minded, others forget they are absent-minded. 2. One of my favorite original jokes is also true: I read a book about how to remember, but forgot what it ...read more

     | 4,083 views

    Joseph had been promoted politically to the highest position in the Egyptian government, but his father would promote him to a higher position spiritually – in God’s nation, Israel.

    Joseph’s Spiritual Promotion (46:1-50:26, esp. 48:1-20) 1. Sometimes promotions are not measurements of success. 2. The boss called one of his employees into the office. "Rob," he said, "you've been with the company for a year. You started off in the mail room, one week later ...read more

    Faith

     | 11,151 views

    The text seems to suggest that the bearers of “Bad News” will always come, but the author of “Good News” is always in control. Jesus hears and ignores what others are saying. He has the last word. He is the author and finisher of our faith.

    One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, “Jump! I’ll catch you.” He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As ...read more

    Staying In Your Lane

    based on 15 ratings
     | 17,988 views

    This is a sermon that reminds us that we should only operate in the authority that God has given us. When we begin to operate in the authority that God has not given us, we are no longer in our lane and that carries devastating consequences.

    Introduction Looking at how young people are performing in schools, in their communities, and even where they live, everybody wants to do their own thing.

    Trampling The Winepress

     | 3,490 views

    The authority God has given Jesus Christ to literally (and physically) judge and punish those who turn away from the Father now begins to show. Jesus is no longer the sacrificial lamb, but acts in righteousness with unmerciful authority.
