    Faithfulness to God is blessed even in hard circumstances.

    1. The challenge to faithfulness even when things don’t go our way. 2.

Yet I will quietly wait for the day of trouble to come upon people who invade us. 17 ...read more

    This is a message that is hard to preach but ever so necessary. Hell is going to overtake those who have not been warned.

    THE GREATEST QUESTION OF LIFE TEXT: Mark 8:36-37 Mark 8:36-37 KJV For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

    When life gets hard, don’t grumble; grow!

    Several years ago (2009), Louis C.K. was on Conan O’Brien’s late-night talk show, where he described today’s entitlement culture. He said in our culture, “Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy.” Take a look (show Louis CK video). Louis talks about how he was on a plane that offered ...read more

    God Gives Reassurance Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 29, 2022
     | 3,396 views

    Abraham had some tremendous high points, but he had low points too. Knowing that will help us when you are not experiencing victory after victory. Sometimes you do not see everything you are trusting God for, and it is hard to have faith.

    God said it. I believe it. That settles it. That is a bold statement. You can order a bumper sticker that has this declaration of faith. However, are there times we need reassurance from God? Abraham might have ordered a bumper sticker for his camel that said: God, you said it. I heard it. ...read more

    The Double-Anointing

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 7, 2015

     | 15,380 views

    How did Elisha receive the double portion? He asked for it. He was totally focused, committed and sold out to it. And, he received it! How bad do you want it? Where are you in your spiritual journey today? Are you hard after God?

    Opening illustration: In 1937, missionaries were forced to leave southern Ethiopia because of World War II. They had reached the remote area of Wolayto only in 1928. Nine years later, there were only 48 converts, and they experienced brutal persecution because of their faith. Tears flowed on both ...read more

    God created us with responsibilities. We are responsible to work and earn the bread that we eat.

    I AM CREATED TO WORK We are told in the Scriptures that we cannot work to earn our salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV) 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. We cannot do enough works to ...read more

    Leave The Old Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 6, 2020
     | 3,366 views

    The worldly life is 1) Intellectually futile (Ephesians 4:17), 2) Ignorant of God’s truth (Ephesians 4:18), 3) Spiritually and morally callused (Ephesians 4:19a), and 4) Depraved in mind (Ephesians 4:19b).

    Ephesians 4:17-19 [17] Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. [18] They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. ...read more

    This sermon speaks hard about seeking first the things of God. If we are to do that.. we need to (1) let God be in charge (2) allow God to be in the decistion process (3) give back to others.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,942 views

    It’s hard to pinpoint being holy like God. But if we just look at it from the perspective of love, then maybe we can understand God’s holiness and reflect it better in our own lives!

    Reflecting God’s Holiness in Love! Every week my son Grant does something that I could probably use in a sermon in some way. I just love watching him and seeing the things he does and I try to remember as many of them as possible because they make such good illustrations. Parents, did you know ...read more

     | 23,953 views

    The biblical teaching of the absolute moral standards of God’s word has fallen on hard times. We continually in our day hear the idea espoused that because times have changed the Bible does not fit our day. The truth, of course is just the opposite.
