Living A Life Of Integrity Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 10, 2008

As our merciful God is working His goodness into our hearts and lives, He requires sincerity and integrity from us.

Living a Life of Integrity Acts 5:1-11 Intro: This is almost an unbelievable story to most people today. Can you imagine something like this happening today? I think it is safe to conclude that God does not always choose to work in this way. We do have some examples from the OT where God actually ...read more

Contributed by Greg Lindsey on Mar 8, 2020

Jesus came to rescue you, not just forgive you but heal, redeem, and restore you too. It's not just about what you've done, it's also about what's been done to, said to, and said about you.

Wasn’t that awesome! Let’s give it up for Wade…giving us a little Valentines Day serenade. So we have a lot to celebrate today, but first things first. How about last Sunday…Denver Broncos World Champions? That’s what I’m talking about. Thank you Lord Jesus for great defense amen. Feels good ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 6, 2025

There are 5 more separate laments here. The survivors are desolate and can find none to help or comfort. The nation admits its guilt and isolation as Judah was forsaken. The heart of the people was overturned as was God who had to do this. (Don't dismiss because it is Lamentations).

How To Treat Spiritual Leaders Series

Contributed by Ed Taylor on Jun 19, 2008

As the family of God, our hearts and lives must support and love and help and hold up our spiritual leaders.

1. The Bible has a lot to say about what it takes to be that spiritual man, that spiritual woman that will be used of God to be leaders in the Church of Jesus Christ. a. As a church, we’ve studied many of these passages like Exodus 18 & the books of 1-2 Timothy & Titus. b. The ingredients are ...read more

Now Is Not The End

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 26, 2021

This teaching looks at the life of Joseph and how circumstances did not prevent God from being with him and working through him.

We’re going to look at Joseph, who was Jacob’s second youngest son. Remember how his father had given him the coat of many colors? It was a coat that set him apart from his brothers in terms of authority and rank in the family. Remember how his brothers were none too happy with him having that ...read more

God Restores Elijah / Preparation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 3, 2020

In this first-of-two talks we look at some of the initial things that helped Elijah recover from depression. They are things we can also do. They paved the way for God to address the root cause of the problem: Elijah's sense of failure.

INTRODUCTION We’re now onto the second talk in our series called ‘Bible Stories for Grown-Ups.’ In these talks we’re going back to some of the famous stories in the Old Testament which we may have heard as children, perhaps at home or at Sunday School. The idea is to take a fresh look at them as ...read more

Rest For The Restless

Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 7, 2026

God invites weary hearts to leave the world’s restless search for the new and return to Christ, the old path of rest.

We live in an age enamored by the new. New technology. New methods. New philosophies. New spiritual voices. New versions of truth. Everything must be updated, rebranded, optimized, improved. If something is old, we tend to assume it must be outdated. If something is new, we assume it must be ...read more

A Prayer Of Dependence

Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008

I believe that this desire for independence is something that should not carry over into our spiritual lives. I think we all have experienced the failures and disappointments that come when we try to walk this way on our own. I believe that scripture t

On July 4th of the year 1776 a group of men known as the Second Continental Congress adopted a document which declared our nations independence from Great Britain.

Seeing And Hearing Again

Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on May 16, 2013

The Bible says our hearts, like that of the Pharisees, can get calloused against God. It is not intentional, but our hearts get dull. We have to recondition them and reopen our eyes to see Him afresh.

Eyes to See The Pharisees were trained and schooled to recognize God, to hear His voice and to know what God was saying. They looked for something that was so obviously close, but never saw Him. When He actually came on that Christmas, they did not even recognize Him. In fact, even when He spoke, ...read more

Treasures In Heaven

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 6, 2016

Our hearts will be where our treasure is. Those who are greedy and anxious about stuff put their emphasis on worldly goods. Those who trust in God’s provision invest their hearts in heaven.

All of us are stewards. Does that seem strange to you? Well, it shouldn’t. All of us have responsibilities over one corner or another of God’s household. Just as we have to look after our own households, we also have to look after the part of God’s household that he has given us ...read more

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Feb 11, 2022

So, At the Heart of The Transfiguration is three things One Companionship, two Revelation/our Moring-time, three Glorification. I would also like to suggest at the heart of Black History Month are the same three things.
