The Wrath Of A Loving God Series

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 12, 2013

Many people do not think of God in the way that He reveals Himself, as a God who is not only loving, but also angry at sin. He hates the sinner and the sin.

The topic I would like to deal with this afternoon is one that is rarely preached on, and this is very surprising because this aspect of God’s character is mentioned hundreds of times in both the Old and New Testaments. This subject is so important to study so we can have a correct ...read more

God Never Forgets Your Prayers Series

Let’s begin with this question: What is the major enemy of hope in your life? What is the one thing that, more than any other, threatens to weaken your hope? Could it be: discouragement, suffering; weariness, exhaustion. Perhaps the main enemy of hope in your life is simply the passage ...read more

Imagine that at the end of Paul’s letter he shared some additional advice. - Let’s say that Romans 17 ...read more

When God Show Up Series

Contributed by Pastor Dr. Tim Awotide on Apr 5, 2023

The problem with information is that we all have information but what do you do with it. e.g. Sons of the prophet did not prosper with it ( Elisha when he crossed Jordan sea).The woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus' garment and God showed up for her.

Text: Ps 118: 5-11. “I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

A Shorter List; 30 Vs 2 Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Aug 30, 2017

In Romans 12:9-21, Paul gives us an overwhelming list of 30 encouragments. However, they can be slimmed down to just two overarching themes: self-sacrificial love and overcome evil with good. We also see how these things point us to Jesus.

Our text from Romans this morning is quite challenging. Paul writes to encourage God’s people to live in their in the calling, but his words are overwhelming to us. “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil. Hold fast to what is good. Love one another…be fervent in spirit…rejoice in hope, be ...read more

Israel Identified Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 28, 2019

The Jews make a case for failure on God’s part to fulfill His promises. This is the first step toward Paul's argument concerning the righteousness of God in calling the Gentiles into the blessing of salvation.

(31) Israel Identified Romans 9:6-13 6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8 That is, those who are the children of the ...read more

Imitating Our Father

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 2, 2025

When it comes to extending mercy, it seems the Church has lost its way. Too many are quick to condemn people they don't like. This message is about being more like our Heavenly Father when it comes to acting with mercy.

There is a characteristic of our Father that is a part of our DNA as His sons and daughters that we are seeing less evident in the Church today. God’s heart for people. Now, you may be thinking, “Bro. Barry, hold up. What do you mean the Church is showing less of God’s heart today? What about ...read more

A PEOPLE IN EXILE I want you to close your eyes for a moment. Now imagine with me that you are an Israelite during the Babylonian Exile around 2,500 years ago, standing on the bank of the Euphrates River. You look downstream as two priests and a small crowd gather to perform an “Opening of the ...read more
