"i Am With You In The Silence" Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 2, 2020

Habakkuk’s praise was not dependent upon his circumstances and neither should our praise be dependent upon our circumstances. Even if our whole world is coming unglued, we will praise and worship Almighty God. Even if we lose everything, we will rejoice in the LORD and spin around in joy.

I don’t know exactly when … it was about four or five years ago … I came across an interesting documentary while I was surfing the web. I wish I had written the title down … I probably did and lost it. Anyways, I don’t remember the title but I do remember the documentary. It was a fascinating ...read more

Our Excelling Example Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

We look to Christ as our example, and He teaches us a positive type of humility that says I have ability and blessings which I will use, not for self-glorification, but for the edification of others.

You cannot imitate what you do not know. Any parrot who learns to swear does not reveal its own character, but rather that of its owner and example. To copy or imitate by definition implies an original to go by. It is the original that determines the nature of the copy. This concept is ...read more

"God, Send A Spiritual Tsunami!”

Wrestles With God

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 31, 2006

The whole experience of PRAYER is not to wrestle with God over our demands, but to know the heart of the One who seek to bless us and call us to a higher purpose in life, and help us understand our utter dependence on Him for success.

This picture of Jacob wrestling with a God-man can be considered as one of the most bizarre encounter in the Bible. • He was all alone, having sent his family and all his possessions across the stream. • It was in the night, and he wrestled with this God-man until daybreak. Many see him as a hero ...read more

Attribute One | A Man Submits To Authority Series

Contributed by Vince Miller on Apr 26, 2018

A man is someone who can submit to authority. Submission is an attitude that results from a mindset. The man who excels at this understands that he cannot self-govern and needs to be governed. Therefore, he gives up his will to a higher authority.

Well today, we are looking at the first of nine attributes. Today’s attribute is – Submits to Authority. I believe that Jesus Christ was teaching the attributes during his life, as he walked this earth. That he was trying to help, us to understand – as a man – what it means to be a true man of God. ...read more

A Head Table Mentality Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

A leader is not automatically the honored guest. He or she must take the lowest seat at the table and learn to serve others. Only then, will Jesus move that person higher. If someone grabs the best seat, he or she will be moved lower.

This evening’s message is entitled “A Head Table Mentality,” and it’s taken from a parable that discusses the valued position of the meek and lowly. This parable promotes Christ-like leadership over the worldly model of leadership in which power and control seems to be the normal style. Kenneth ...read more

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 11, 2025

When was the last time you truly asked God to search your heart? We live in a world that prizes self-examination, self-help, and self-awareness — but the Bible calls us to something higher and holier: God-examination.

Taking Control Of Your Thoughts (Pastor Jose Jr)

Contributed by Jose Gomez Sr. on Feb 21, 2007

The mind the seat of the soul. It is the place where flesh and spirit exchange ideas and come to conclusions about the world around you. It can either be a conductor for the Spirit of God, or a breeding ground for the corruption of the flesh.

Abraham was righteous before God. But what was the grounds of Abraham's righteousness, faith or works? The answer of Jewish tradition was works, but Scripture says Abraham's righteousness was by faith. Paul proves that the doctrine of justification by fai
