    Many of us start out well but tend to lose our focus. Goals are simply abandoned, and dreams are forgotten. They seem to spend all their time responding to crisis rather than preparing for the future. Come and dine!

    Subject: Meeting Jesus at His Table - Come and Dine Text: John 21:1-23 Introduction: What do expect to accomplish in your ministry assignment? What will capture your attention?

     | 3,594 views

    Have you ever felt hopeless — helpless — at the end of your proverbial rope? Have you ever cried out, “God help me”? That’s a loaded question, because I think we’ve all been there. In one way, or many ways, we’ve been there. When we’re there, we have options, even when we don’t think so

    Really..., I'm supposed to: pray for the King and all those in authority? That is what it says. That is God's inspired Word. That is not given as a suggestion, it is a command.

    8-26-13 (Revised 10-9-2022) Help Me God, I'm Confused I Timothy 2:1-4 “It ain’t over till its over.” You know who said that? Yogi Berra. That line makes sense.

    The Day Of Death Series

     | 4,025 views

    Would you baptize someone on Halloween? One preacher refused to do that because he saw Halloween as a focus on death... and he didn't want the young girl he was baptizing to become confused by the aura of death in the season, and having that connection ruin her walk with Christ.

    Ordinarily I read a Scripture before each sermon because anything the Bible says is more important than what I have to say. But today I'm not going to do that. The text will still be there in the body of the sermon, but I'm not reading first because I don't want to spoil the surprise. ...read more

    Most of us don't want to admit it, but more often than not God's instructions don't make sense. That's because God is not a sense God, he is a faith God. The question is... What do you do when God doesn't make sense?

    Joshua 6:1-5 TLB - The gates of Jericho were kept tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelis; no one was allowed to go in or out. ² But the Lord said to Joshua, “Jericho and its king and all its mighty warriors are already defeated, for I have given them to you! ³?4 Your ...read more

     | 14,210 views

    "I did it my way" is the battle cry that sums up what so many people feel about their lives. They think this is a great idea... but it isn't. Why not?

    Back in 2010 there’s the true story of a British man named Shawn Murtagh who decided to wear a Halloween costume. To complete the costume he had a sequined top hat he wanted to wear at an angle on his head. But it wouldn’t quite stay on, so instead of attaching the hat to his head with a string, ...read more

    It's one of the most stunning truths of Scripture: We can and will face the consequences of our sin, but we will never face the punishment for our sin. Christ already has.

    Good morning! Please turn to Romans, Chapter 8. I am so excited to be turning to Romans, Chapter 8, and not Romans Chapter 7. We’ve been in the book of Romans since January.
