    Jesus Is The Prince Of Peace

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jan 12, 2022
     | 7,307 views

    Isaiah 59:8 states, The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. (NIV) These words could be said about Bethlehem in the time of Jesus. And about our world today. Yet into this world has come the One described in Isaiah 9:6, the Prince of Peace.

    Alba 1-2-2022 PRINCE OF PEACE Isaiah 9:6 We live in a world that is unable to stay at peace. We hope for it every new year. But every year disappoints, fulfilling our Lord's words that there will always be wars and rumors of war. Yet, there was in history a moment when the promise of peace ...read more

    Faithful Until Death

     | 1,835 views

    Notice the condition on which this promise is made.

    The Lord said, if we are faithful unto death, He would give us a CROWN OF LIFE. He did NOT say, “If you are faithful a few short years I will give thee a Crown of Life”. There are times the devil tells us that as Christians, we are wasting our lives serving the Lord. But I can assure you, based ...read more

    The Age In Which We Live….perilous Times

     | 4,837 views

    Many Bible preachers are somewhat reluctant to preach on these verses of scripture.

    Why? Because when they preach on these verses of scripture, they may be branded as one of those “Doom and Gloom” preachers. Nevertheless, if a Minister of the Gospel loves the Lord, he is compelled by his love for the Lord to preach on these verses of scripture. Why? Because these verses of ...read more

    This is how the devil drags us into sin.

    In this life I have discovered that everything that seems good to you, isn’t necessarily good for you. There are some things in this life that you may find yourself drawn to that which are not meant for your good. Even though they may seem enjoyable to you at the time, but in the end it could cause ...read more

    Now I know they didn't have church buildings then, but as you read this chapter you can almost visualize yourself walking in through the open door of the church at Rome, wandering down the aisle and meeting the various members.

    What’s In Your Clay? (September 4, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 1, 2022
     | 3,343 views

    How many times have you seen a Capitol One commercial where you always hear the question, “What’s in your wallet?” As we hear today’s text a better question to ask is “What’s in your clay?” What’s in our clay that makes us resistant to how God is trying to mold us and shape us?

    WHAT’S IN YOUR CLAY? Text: Jeremiah 18:1 -11 Jeremiah 18:1-11 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: (2) "Come, go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words." (3) So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his ...read more

    The first organization God ordained, even before the church, was that of marriage and the family. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    Just what is it that we believe? Could you tell someone what it is you believe? In past messages we have discussed our believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We have talked about how we need salvation and cannot save ourselves and that Jesus is the only way. We believe ...read more

    I was praying for a diabetic's foot, "Let the blood flow," when the Spirit said to me, "That’s the problem of the Body of Christ – why they’re not getting healing & not walking in newness of life; they need the blood of Jesus to flow in them!

    LET THE BLOOD FLOW! Lev. 17:11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. We’ve all talked to people who claimed to be SELF-PROCLAIMED EXPERTS. Usually it’s “practicing without a license!” (Not worth too much). 2.

    As we approach the Holiday Season, the “Season of Regifting!” Regifting is: “the act of receiving a gift and giving it to another friend or family as if you had actually purchased it for them." Regifting forgiveness is a Biblical concept!

    Preach The Word

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 1, 2021
     | 4,621 views

    Paul gives Timothy one of the most solemn injunctions in scripture: 'preach the word'. He is talking about preaching God's word to God's people rather than sharing the gospel with people outside the church. It's a solemn message to us too, to hold fast to God's word.

    INTRODUCTION (EARLIER IN THE SERVICE) Today is our last week on 2 Timothy. Over the past three weeks we’ve looked at chapters 1 to 3. Today, we move on to chapter 4 – the last chapter in 2 Timothy. I’m going to do a short recap on what we’ve looked at so far before we turn to chapter 4 later in ...read more

As Peter has noted, we have a living faith which is more than mere mental assent to the truth of the Gospel and the doctrines of the church. When we see words like “joy unspeakable and full of glory”, we ...read more
