     | 9,967 views

    This sermon addresses the effect of our "wakes" in our relationships, i.e. how our behavior and attitudes affect those around us in our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, friendships and extended families.

    I’m so excited about this series we’re starting today. We’ve entitled it No Wake Zone. We’ve done that for a real specific reason. This is a relationship series, but we want to do a visual of what healthy relationships are really like. I think if we could see it first, then we could begin to ...read more

    Father’s Day from Luke 24? There’s more here than meets the eye. The Father’s plan and power are given to the children who faithfully seek the kingdom.

    Happy Father’s day! Today let’s consider some things about the best Father of all. As we come to the last chapter of the gospel of Luke, we are reminded that God’s love wins. God’s love wins, always. Think about that, always! We have a Father in heaven who gave us His Son, Jesus Christ as a ...read more

    The Fight Within The Wall Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 21, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,306 views

    The greatest problem in ministry is often the fight within. Beware of the seeds of discontent, distrust and rivalry that the evil One can sow within the Body of Christ. Don't let selfishness gets the better of us.

    What we learn last week: There will be oppositions in ministry. • We cannot stop what people will say but we can choose not to allow their words or deeds to discourage us from doing what is good and right, what is the will of God. • We choose not to be distracted; we FOCUS on what God ...read more

    Sometimes we scoff at the idea of the miraculous things God desires to do in our lives! We shouldn't be shocked at God's favor and His doing the impossible! Doubting God is never a “laughing matter”! Doubt is a poison we should do our best to avoid!

    Why Are You Laughing? Continuing with the series, “Questions?” • First week, “Did God Really Say…?” • Second week, “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” • Both of these were questions asked in opposition to God’s plan and purpose This week, we are going to look a little closer at a question that was asked ...read more

     | 3,461 views

    How often we allow our circumstances or people around us to shape the opinion we have of ourselves. Instead let’s look up to the Lord, and study His word to understand who we really are from God’s point of view.

    The way God saw Gideon In Judges 6:11-12 we read, “Gideon was threshing some wheat secretly in a wine press, so that the Midianites would not see him. The LORD's angel appeared to him there and said, “The LORD is with you, brave and mighty man!” (GNT) The people of Israel were in an arduous ...read more
