    God's Care For His People

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Dec 6, 2014
     | 10,985 views

    Giving is central to God's character and if we would be like Him we must learn to be givers too.

    God’s Care for His People I don’t remember how old I was, but I remember being in Bible class as a child and hearing about how the Israelite's clothes and shoes didn’t wear out during the 40 years in the wilderness. This comes from three passages in the Old Testament, only one ...read more

    The reason some have little desire for God’s House on Sunday is because they have had little desire for God throughout the week.

    Doorkeepers or Tent-dwellers? 05/28/2000 (Psalm 84:1-12) RPBC a.m. ILL: This is an alleged New Year’s letter written from a church member to the pastor.

    The Jesus Who Seeks And Saves Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 17, 2025
     | 559 views

    How does Jesus respond when someone really seeks Him? He follows through--He makes sure the seeker finds Him!

    Over nearly 40 years as a pastor, one of the things I've learned is that when you sign up to be a pastor, you also sign up to be a point man in some very challenging situations. One of the challenging situations I've often been asked to take over has been when a beloved or in some cases, ...read more

    Focus! Series

     | 8,300 views

    Many congregations, as they worship, experience union but not unity. They lack a spirit of oneness. What does it take to experience unity in worship?

    “More Words on Worship: Focus!” John 4:1-24 Six people were marooned on a desert island. Two were Jewish, two were Catholic, and two were of Reformed background. The two Jews founded “Temple Immanuel.” The two Catholics organized “The Church of the Holy Name.” ...read more

    More Power

    based on 39 ratings
     | 10,727 views

    It is the heart cry of the need and desire for more power in the believer’s life. Without God’s power the church will have little if any impact on others. Why is it that some people don’t experience more power in their lives?

    More Power Mark 9:14-29 Introduction: Many get caught up in the desire for more money, more power, more influence, more prestige. Many who follow this pursuit profess to be dedicated Christians. What they fail to realize is that what they need and should desire most is more of the power of God in ...read more

    Using the interests of our kids as teaching opportunities, we repeat Bible stories so they become recognizable, while modeling a godly life before them. The fear of God in the heart will be the most powerful principle of obedience. It is highly desirable

    Opening illustration: My nephew in Delhi Aashan began to recognize cars by make and year very early for his age. This all started when he and his grandpa began spending time together playing with his old collection of toy cars. His grandpa would say, “Aashan, get the 1957 Chevy,” and he would pick ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,812 views

    The desire of God’s heart is that in everything Jesus Christ might have the preeminence. Paul declares that everything finds its meaning and significance in Christ. Christ must be at the center of all things both in our individual lives and in the church.

    THE CENTRALITY OF CHRIST COLOSSIANS 1:15-18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence Introduction: The desire of God’s heart is that in everything Jesus Christ might have the preeminence.

    Sin Kills

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 20, 2021
     | 1,882 views

    Temptation is common to all human beings. It is a result of the desires that lingers in our hearts. It draws us away from God's principles and fall into sin. This leads to spiritual death as we become separated from God.

    TEXT: James 1:14-15 NLT "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death." TEMPTATIONS WILL COME You will be tempted over and over again. These temptations arise ...read more

    COVID-19 has kept church building doors closed. Are you feeling spiritually isolated? Let God’s words speak to your heart and mind. You are loved, missed and desired. The church is still strong and united.

    Spiritual Isolation (2 Kings 5:15-17) Intro: A. I absolutely love the story of Philip and the Ethiopian in Acts 8. I love how God connected this Ethiopian to a Christian to help him in his spiritual journey. Just walk back through that story for a moment. This Secretary of the ...read more

    The Aspects Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 12, 2022
     | 3,046 views

    In this text, Jesus spoke of nine different aspects of prayer that we are encouraged to embrace as we pray. His focus deals with the attitude of the heart. This is not a sample, replacement prayer we are to use instead of seeking the Lord for our needs and desires.

    The Aspects of Prayer Matthew 6: 9-13 We have come to one of the most recognized portions in all of Scripture. I think it would be safe to say, this passage is among the top three most quoted passages, along with Psalm 23 and John 3:16. Most of the time, it is referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. I ...read more
