    Who needs a word from God today? Jeremiah shows us how much we all do!

    I was in a preaching class last year and had an eye opening experience. We viewed two videos of preaching. One was a guy who told a moving story about he and his two year old son going on a walk in the woods together and it began to rain. The rain turned into a storm and the little boy was ...read more

    A sermon on how sharing our personal faith stories puts our faith in action and leads others to God.

    Dare to Share Romans 9: 20-33 (The Message) 20-33Who in the world do you think you are to second-guess God? Do you for one moment suppose any of us knows enough to call God into question?

    Hosea speaks of Gomer’s unfaithfulness as a reflection of the spiritual adultery of the people of God

    Hosea 2.2-13 Unfaithfulness – Fresh Start? ‘Hello’ magazine I believe is a very popular magazine with some women. It is bought primarily for the photographs and not its intellectual content I believe. Usually it is full of photo shoots of the rich and famous and their ‘loving’ relationships with ...read more

     | 94,416 views

    Understanding the gates of Life points out the significance of openings. Just as you have to be careful of those who come into you home, you must guard against what you watch, read or listen to if you do not want to introduce spirits of sin into your life

    By Bode Ayodele Gates and doors are very significant in the life of human beings. A city without a gate is open to various unwanted things and personalities. Just as in the physical, there are also spiritual gates and doors. Throughout the bible, roles played by gates, provide an important ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 5, 2007
    based on 21 ratings
     | 15,001 views

    The Christian life is about changing and growing. A process of the "before" becoming the "after."

    A. Today, I want to spend a few minutes thinking about the difference that God has made in our lives. 1. We’ve all seen “before and after” pictures used in advertising. 2. For instance, here’s a typical picture of a guy who needed a little help with his hair loss. 3. Here’s a picture of a lady ...read more

    Most people believe that the leadership of a congregation are the people with the strong faith. This is not always the case. Here is a lesson for the faithful to stay faithful.

    FAITH FOR THE FAITHFUL THEME: THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL MUST ADMIT A FAITH WEAKNESS. TEXT: MARK 9:14-29 It seems that in the church those in a leadership position are strong in the faith. The elders, deacons, preachers, and teachers are those who are solid with the faith. This seems to be the ...read more

    Look at famous failures (like Mike Tyson and Michael Vick) and Judas to see how we can avoid failure in our life.

    WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN Luke 22:1-6, Mark 14: 17-21 He was a big man on campus, a quarterback with the speed of a gazelle, his moves left would-be tacklers holding a handful of air, an arm like a rocket launcher, and the looks of a model.

    Good Works - When We Don't Need God Anymore Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,824 views

    Ironic isn’t it? We can do so well in our Christian walk, we depend upon our Christian competencies rather than the Holy Spirit.

    Was Jesus kidding? “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Come on, what does that mean? Certainly Jesus is speaking in metaphors, certainly Jesus is exaggerating, certainly Jesus means something else….. In the city of Jerusalem ...read more

    Consider traits God uses in impacting the world around us.

    Is it possible that you can be used of God to impact your world? I want to look at a woman who impacted two countries. Her name was Jochebed. She was the mother of Moses. Through Jochebed God impacted Egypt as well as Israel. Her son, Moses, left a spiritual influence on both of these countries. ...read more
