    What Makes Us Uncomfortable

    Contributed by Richard Stevens on Oct 18, 2023
     | 1,723 views

    There are people and situations that make us uncomfortable. Rather than avoiding those people or situations, what should be our response to them? How should we handle them? Fortunately, we have an example in the Gospel of Luke to guide us.

    INTRODUCTION In my opinion, I think we can boil those that make us uncomfortable down to, basically two kinds of people - CRAZY people and NAKED people. In Luke 8:26-39, we see that Jesus met a man who was both. CRAZY and NAKED. “ And they arrived at the country of the ...read more

    Survive Or Thrive

     | 1,594 views

    In light of all that is going on in this world and in our personal challenges, we have a choice, we can either just survive or thrive. You can try to handle life on your own or be like a tree planted by streams of living water.

    God had called Jeremiah to preach the truth and prophesy to Israel and Judah at a time when people were abandoning the Lord God, His Word & His precepts. God’s people had been engaged in pagan religions and practices, idol worship (which speaks of worshiping an image or fantasy) and this turned ...read more

    Sermon # 17 - The Power Of A Praying Church Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 8, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,831 views

    There is not telling as to the extraordinary outcomes when the church comes together to pray. The only way we can assure in a revival, and the powerful move of the Holy Spirit is through prayer.

    We read in Acts 4:31, “When they finished praying, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God's message with boldness.”(GNB) As the believers in the early church met together for prayer there was a mighty manifestation of ...read more

     | 22,098 views

    In this message, we will see that God gives people influence so we can come to know Him better. In knowing Him, we’ll be able to better handle both the well-being and the calamity that comes our way as people of influence.

    “Why did God make me? Why am I here? Why do I have the influence that I have?” I’m betting that you have wrestled with these questions. For most of you in this room, God has given you some measure of influence. You may be a teacher, a coach, a mom, a dad, a boss, an officer in a club, a ...read more

    Plum Of Patience Series

    Contributed by James Westervelt on Nov 21, 2001
    based on 107 ratings
     | 7,009 views

    It is our natural inclination to be impatient with people - to get angry at them for the things they do which displease us, to fly off the handle when they say or do something against us, to express great displeasure when they do things the wrong way.

    THE PLUM OF PATIENCE This morning we begin the OUTWARD FRUIT, those qualities we will exhibit in our relationships with other people: patience, kindness and goodness. Let’s look at the plum of patience: I’ve chosen a plum because patience is a plum of a virtue - it is one ...read more

    Caricature Or Reality (Pt 1) Series

    based on 85 ratings
     | 14,967 views

    In order to pray, worship and serve God effectively, we need to understand who he is. This begins with an understanding that he is first of all holy. Only when we get a handle on his holiness can everything else fall into place.

    Do you know what a caricature is? You see them all the time when you pick up a newspaper. You often have political cartoons where the details are not true life representations. Prominent features are often exaggerated and non-prominent features are diminished or eliminated altogether. If you go to ...read more

    Hanging In There Through Anxiety Series

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 10, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,444 views

    Anxiety is common to all people, even Christians. We can learn to handle our anxiety by understanding that God is our ever present help, His strength is adequate for anything you might face and His help stands on its own.

    We are living in anxious times. As I grew up we faced total annihilation by way of the bomb. My folks actually considered building a bomb shelter. Some of you may have done that. We wondered what would happen. Our anxieties are ever expanding. We have seen people poisoned by simply eating food that ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,718 views

    The principle of tithing shows our trust of God. It shows if He (in your mind) is big enough to handle your life. His promise is that He will not only take care of us but that He will fill the barns with blessing - if we trust Him!

    Breaking Down Barriers Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,885 views

    Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.

    This week I shared something positive on Facebook and got pulverized. The criticism came quickly and repeatedly. Normally I’m more careful about posting about controversial matters so I wasn’t prepared for all the venomous vitriol and overwhelming opposition. One person simply replied, “Oh ...read more
