    Gen Y are getting married. A wedding talk from a worldview perspective.

    Who Is Better?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 29, 2011
     | 6,203 views

    It is human nature to compare ourselves to one another. We do it all of the time very naturally and almost without noticing it. That's what was happening in Corinth and it was giving the Corinthians a false impression about who to trust.

    There is an old saying “appearances can be deceiving.” Or: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” In the case of the Corinthians, those sayings apply very well. They fell into a trap that many of us fall prey to, using human senses to judge spiritual realities. In this ...read more

    "Knocking On Heaven's Door"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Oct 26, 2018
     | 9,745 views

    There’s nothing that reveals more about a believer than his/her prayer life. How we approach God of what we’re willing to ask for shows how we view God. It is very similar to how a child will make a request of their father.

    PRAYER THAT OPENS DOORS "Knocking on Heaven’s Door" Matthew 7:7-11 Let me start with a question this morning. What is the single biggest prayer request you have ever made? What is the biggest answer you have ever asked God for? • Perhaps it was for healing for yourself or for another family ...read more

     | 10,407 views

    Deliverance. We talk about it. We ask for it. We demand it. We know we need it. However, deliverance is often accompanied by dilemmas! Are we willing to hold on for freedom?

    Deliverance Dilemmas Pt. 2 - Deliverers I. Introduction The load had become too heavy. 430 years of harsh slavery has culminated in the desperate cry for deliverance. An old-time preacher by the name of Vance Havner may have said it best when he said, “The tragedy of our time is that the situation ...read more

    Joseph's Story

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Dec 18, 2016

     | 9,080 views

    The Christmas story from Joseph's perspective. What was it like to sacrifice all that he had known in his pursuit of righteousness to take on scandal, scorn, and shame? Perhaps we are called like Joseph to follow God no matter what the cost.

    Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph’s Story My mother and father raised me to be a good man, a just man, a righteous man. I loved God and followed his law to the utmost. I memorized scripture. I studied Torah at synagogue. I sought to treat people honorably. As I grew up, my dad taught me how to be a ...read more

    An outcast came with faith unto Jesus. Initially she did not receive the response she desired, but she remained persistent in faith. Jesus granted her request. We too must be persistent in faith as we walk with the Lord.

    Crumbs from His Table Mark 7: 24-30 As we continue our study in Mark’s gospel, we come to a passage that reveals a mother with a desperate need. As much as she would have liked to handle this situation, she was unable to bring about a resolution. While little information is given regarding the ...read more

    How do you handle hurt feelings? Where is your line? Do you have any offense defense?

    I. Introduction In 1990, I graduated and moved to SC. Applied to receive license. Election year. If we let you get your license with long hair it will cost us votes. The Bishop at that time stepped in and made it possible to get my license. But then he taught me a very valuable lesson. He pulled me ...read more

    The Sign Of Fear Series

    based on 11 ratings
     | 25,524 views

    The disciples weren't afraid of the storm. And they weren't really afraid of Jesus. What was it that they were afraid of that day? And what did Jesus do to deal with their fear?

    I once read the story of a man who was hitch hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a storm. It was late at night and no cars were passing. The storm was fierce and the winds strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead. Suddenly, he saw a car coming towards him and stop. Without further ...read more
