    When Faith Meets Anointing.

    Several folks were challenged, and changed by this Word! All believers are positionally overcomers but when we obey we are experiential overcomers and this is why His commands are not burdensome.

    When Faith Meets Anointing. I John 5:4 1 John 5:4KJV For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Always pause to ponder "What is the writer explaining?" John has just spoken of God's commandments as not ...read more

    This sermon explores the difference between testing and arguing with God, and trusting and obeying Him, based on the examples of the Israelites and Jesus.

    The Falling Away Comes First

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 18, 2024
     | 1,127 views

    The Thessalonians were looking forward to His coming. But something caused them to be “shaken in mind and troubled.” The assurance Paul gives to them gives assurance to us as well: the Lord has promised to return for His own, and we have not missed it. The falling away will come first.

    Alba 3-17-2024 THE FALLING AWAY COMES FIRST II Thessalonians 2:1-12 My wife, Janine, tells about a dream she had when she was very young, likely no more than four years old. At that time her family lived on a farm in North Dakota. There was a long driveway from the road to the house. In her ...read more

    Why do we come to church this Thursday night? What are we to remember?

    This Do in Remembrance of Me Luke 22:1–20 NKJV Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people. Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve. ...read more

    In the midst of being buried alive, we can have hope in the resurrection, as Job declares!

    3.31.24 Job 19:23–27 (EHV) 23 Oh how I wish that my words were written down.

    Because I Love Him

     | 1,465 views

    Love is a word that we begin to use at an early age.

    But what is amazing about love, is this: • A young boy at a certain age despises young girls • He frowns like he swallowed a dose of castor oil when the teacher makes him sit next to a girl • But at a certain age, something very mysterious begins to happen to him. That same boy that despised ...read more

    The Undivided Christ Series

     | 2,333 views

    To keep the divisiveness in the world from infecting the church, take your focus off the messenger and focus on the message.

    A young rabbi found a serious problem in his new congregation. During the Friday service, half the congregation stood for the prayers and half remained seated, and each side shouted at the other, insisting that theirs was the true tradition. Nothing the rabbi said or did helped to solve the ...read more

    Small In Stature, Not In Nature

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,933 views

    This message looks at the account of a very short man named Zacchaeus. Though he was small in stature, he was by no means small in nature, for he demonstrated a character that many of us need to have in our own lives.

    This morning we are going to look at the story of a very short man named Zacchaeus. Most of us have probably at least heard of Zacchaeus before because of a popular childhood song that we learned in church, either in Sunday school or Vacation Bible School. The lyrics of the song start something ...read more

    The Rumor Weed

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,721 views

    Rumors and gossip are things we should avoid at all cost, because the information we spread can be destructive to those individuals when shared with others. Our God is not in the business of tearing down lives, but restoring them.

    I’ve entitled our message for this morning “The Rumor Weed,” based on a Veggie Tale’s song. On one episode of Veggie Tales, Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learned just how easily rumors can get started when they accidentally launched a whopper of a tale about Larry-Boy’s butler, Alfred, being a ...read more

    God Is A God Of Wrath Attributes Of God (10 Od 10 Sermons)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 9, 2022
     | 1,289 views

    As we continue to learn what kind of God the God of the Bible is we will preach about one last attribute.

    So far, we have preached about God's being holy, immutable, love, jealous, orderly, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The Bible reveals all these attributes to us because God wants us to come to know Him. He knows we cannot WORSHIP and SERVE Him if we do not KNOW Him. Now, if I was a ...read more

    "Peter, Feed My Sheep” (11 Of 21)

    :We can become sluggish in our bodies and go to the doctor, and after a thorough examination he might conclude that our bodies are lacking in calcium, iron, potassium, or some other particular vitamin.

    In the passage of scripture under consideration, it seems as though Peter has examined us and has discovered we all have a deficiency when it comes to having the proper attitude toward certain things. One's attitude is how one thinks toward a certain thing. Our thinking can be correct or ...read more

    In this story, we see excuses, and an invitation that brought forth an alt[a]ration.

    1 Timothy 2:8-15 teaches us about the behavior of men and women in public worship.

    Scripture In 1 Timothy 2, Paul wrote on the subject of public worship. In verses 1-7, which we studied last week, Paul emphasized the need for a global concern in public worship. Today we are going to study verses 8-15, and see how Paul addressed the respective roles of men and women in public ...read more

     | 6,061 views

    If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

    “A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more
