    Worship The King

    based on 48 ratings
     | 11,489 views

    We must remember that worship is our highest priority and it dwarfs every other offering we can make for Jesus. He treasures worship more than all our service. It is love behind the service that makes the fragrance. Do not get discouraged if others misund

    Tithing

    Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 2, 2004
    based on 19 ratings
     | 20,223 views

    I don’t believe for one minute that tithing buys God’s blessing. But I do believe that it opens a door – or better, a “window” – of release for God to bless continually and mightily.

    TEXT: Malachi 3:6-12 TITLE: TITHING Let me begin by making three statements about tithing: 1. Tithe means “a tenth” – Genesis 28:22 – “And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will surely give a tenth to You.” The word tithe in the Hebrew ...read more

    We can survive loss by allowing ourselves to grieve, by receiving God’s comfort and strength, and by trusting in God’s sovereign purposes.

    As your pastor, I try to be as open and transparent as possible. I want you to know me well enough to see that the faith I talk about every week is real. And one of the ways you get to know someone is by asking what they like. Favorite food, favorite hobby. Favorite movie. So, in case any of you ...read more

What had he meant when he said this? Did he really mean it when he said that? And Jesus just smiled ...read more

    From this text, let’s get some ideas about setting sail in life in order to accomplish God’s will. 1- We must set sail for our mission 2- We must set sail in regard to the Lord’s will

    INTRO.- Luke said, "We put out to sea." ILL.- Recently, we heard that Edward Ted Kennedy has a brain tumor, a cancer, but he’s not giving up. You have to give him credit for this.

    The pastors in our community take turns preaching at the local hospital. This is the message I preached there recently. It examines the brokenness of our lives and points us to the One from whom our help comes.

    When I Called Upon the Lord - Psalm 30 - May 17, 2011 (A Sermon Preached at the Dauphin Hospital) I’ve got a watch here with me this afternoon. [Hold up watch]. I got it a couple of years ago. It’s got a lot of fancy bells and whistles on it. It’ll tell you the normal ...read more

    This country is in a civil war. It’s not the north and south like the conflict that was fought 160 years ago. This civil war is for the hearts, minds, and for the very soul of America.
