     | 9,714 views

    We all suffer from seasons of sadness, but that does not mean joy is out of reach. In times of depravity, anxiety, pain and suffering, Jesus Christ awaits us to lay it at his feet so that we may be filled with joy.

    Season of Sadness (Headline) Have you ever noticed just how different people act during this time of year? There are some who are typically unappealing the entire year who turn into the most wonderful people to be around. And then there are people who are usually very delightful who start becoming ...read more

    Hope in Christ

    One of the most difficult truths to have people believe is that God truly does love them, sometimes there are people that in their minds they have been used and violated and many times the question is God why? Why God if you love me could you allow these things to happen to me? If you are real, why ...read more

    Wait Upon The Lord

     | 10,100 views

    Life is full of highs and lows, from the mountain top to the valley; and God’s people were in a low spot. If Judah would learn to "wait on the Lord," then God would enable them to fly, run and walk across the finish line to victory!

    Wait Upon the Lord Isaiah 40:27-31 I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Wait Upon the Lord,” but I could have easily justified calling it “Fly, Run and Walk,” and you’ll see why as we continue along. But since much of the message is focused on flying, I want to open with an illustration that ...read more

    The sad result of our sin as seen by God.

    Introduction: When you think of a loaded wagon in scripture, what text do you think of? Personally, I can not help but to think of the David in Psalms 68:19 (Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.) Without a doubt we have a ...read more

    Too many times, we as believers are backing up when God has said......"Go Forward"

    Backing Up Or Going Forward ? Exodus 14:8-13, Phil 3:13-14 Illust. The Joke was on me. Are we backing up or going forward as a church ? How about in your own spiritual life ? Do you ever feel like you take 2 steps forward, and 3 steps back ? This morning I ...read more

    God’s Word outlines for us how we can live in peace. We don’t have to allow circumstances to dictate how we live.

    Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all ...read more
