    Who Is Afraid Of New Beginnings?

    When changes come, we will not fear but put our faith to work and trust in the Lord. I preached this sermon on Reformation Sunday, a week after the Senior Pastor left to take another assignment.

    Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, this Sunday is different. God has given Pastor Steve a new assignment. We have said our farewells, we have shed our tears. Today we came to worship knowing that it won’t be the same. Yet we came because we love the Lord, because we are part of our Grace ...read more

    Do you worship a "wannabe" god?

    A Yugo and a BB Gun A man teed up his ball to begin his round of golf. He took a mighty swing and missed the ball, but hit a large ant hill; ants, parts of ants, and dirt went everywhere. He swung again, missed the ball again, making thousands more ant widows and widowers. After ...read more

    Jesus is watching over me, and the circle will not be broken. It is time to give our lives all the way over to the things of God and know that there is nothing that the enemy can do to us because we are covered by the Blood of Jesus.

    The Circle Will Not Be Broken Psalm 57:1-11 1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. 2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. 3 He ...read more

    Characteristics which describe Christian behavior.

    Identity by Conduct Philippians 1:27-30 I used to work for a Japanese company. I started there before they began production so I saw a lot of Japs coming in and out to set up the equipment. They were not hard to tell from the American workers. They were all probably 5’6 or under. They all had ...read more

    The purpose of this sermon is to encourage believers to affirm to others to TRUST GOD.

    U.S. Army Chaplain (MAJ) Ken Harris, Jr. Fort Ord Chapel Seaside, CA 18 May 2008 Big Idea: Believers are sometimes guilty of having a “defective faith” – a faith that believes, but can not bring itself to “always TRUST GOD”.

    Trick Questions - Probing Answers Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,880 views

    Jesus’ opponents try to trip him up, but his answers back reveal much about the human character and how many of us "play" church.

    In a way this chapter is a direct attack against Jesus’ authority as the King and Messiah He has just claimed to be. They were not engaging in a verbal dialogue to discern the truth, they were engaged in verbal warfare in a public relations game to discredit Jesus and eventually kill him. Verses ...read more

    If our religion is going to be more than just performing of obligations we have to ask some hard questions.

    "There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves.

    When we stay focused on Jesus Christ at Christmas time, there cannot be such a thing as a "Blue Christmas"

    There’s No Such Thing as a "Blue Christmas" Now how many of you here tonight think that you pretty much know all the classic Christmas hymns and secular songs that were ever sang? I think it would be safe to say that probably all of us here, along with everyone else across America, know every ...read more

    Samson's Achilles' Heel

    Contributed by Raymond Lu on Aug 9, 2010
     | 10,144 views

    The truth is, we have our own “Achilles’ heel.” These are areas of the enemy’s favorite target points. We may fall like Samson (only He knows) except when we lean on God’s grace in the spiritual battle. When God gives special abilities, the more we shall

    Those who are familiar with Greek mythology sure read about Achilles. Achilles was the bravest, and the most handsome warrior in the army of Argamemnon. It was said that when Achilles was still a child, he was held by the heel, and upside down was dipped in the river call Styx. From then on, ...read more

    The Battle Of The Flesh Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 15, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,737 views

    One of the most underrated struggles we have as Christians is that between the Spirit of God in us and the flesh trying to pull us back into ways that are not like God. If you experience that dissonance between what you want to be like and what you are li

    We are conceived in bondage to a liar who wants only to steal kill and destroy us. He wants us to stay as far away from God as possible. We do what is not like God by default, it is our programming to do so. You would think that laws telling us how to behave would lessen the chances that we would ...read more
