    DID GOD SEND THE HURRICANE TO NEW ORLEANS? IF WE EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES, WHAT WILL IT TELL US? ARE THERE SOME LESSONS WE CAN LEARN ABOUT GOD DURING THIS TRAGEDY?

    THE EYE OF THE STORM TEXT- Mark 4:35-41 INTRODUCTION I guess there are great emotions when a huge hurricane is bearing down on you. I’m sure this is how the people felt in Honduras in 1979 when Hurricane Fife was on its way to their coast. The storm toke its toll on the people and their ...read more

     | 16,566 views

    Wealth leads us to illusions wherein we lose sight of God; poverty leads us to spiritual disease. Pray for enough to satisfy real needs and to be able to give for others.

    You don’t have to raise your hands on this one. But I do wonder how many of you spent some time this week fantasizing about that Powerball lottery. What would you have done with $250,000,000? What dreams would you have indulged? What unthinkable thoughts did you think? Well, now, I, being a ...read more

    God does not expect His children to be in the valley or at the tail region. Rather, He wants them to be at the top.

    Beloved, our message this week focuses on the right position God wants His children to be. God does not expect His children to be in the valley or at the tail region. Rather, He wants them to be at the top. Deuteronomy chapter 32 verses 11-12 say, “As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth ...read more

    We all go through challenging or awkward times in our lives. It's not easy staying positive when we run into daily trials and tribulations. God allows this to happen to us, and others, to encourage faith, which allows for our spiritual growth.

    Sermon # 37 - The Father's Love Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 217 views

    The love that God the Father demonstrated when He sent His only begotten Son Jesus into this world is unfathomable. It’s this love of God that saved us, protects us, provides for our needs, trusts and accepts us in spite of all our faults and failings.

    For our meditation today let me highlight this verse from 1 John 3:1, “See how much the Father has loved us! His love is so great that we are called God's children—and so, in fact, we are.” (GNB) Can you imagine the amazing love God the Father has lavished on us, that we have the wonderful ...read more

    Beloved, the Bible talks about the sower who in his assignment had some of his seeds fall on good ground and yielded bountifully while some fell on barren land and therefore yielded nothing. God wants to profit with us hence His investing in our lives.

    Let us pray: Father, we pray that Your power will descend on us and empty us of everything known as self and drain out every unbrokenness out of our spirits, so that Your word can have root in our lives, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Beloved, the Bible talks about the sower who in his ...read more

    How will you honor Christ and be a part of your church in the New Year? If we won’t reach out, or if we won’t work together to do reach others, we've become an exclusive, limiting club filled with Pharisees … which is dangerous ground to be on!

    Looking ahead to 2017 Philippians 1:1-30 Introduction The New Year is always an opportunity to reflect, and to look ahead Today, we will forego looking back (can’t change that) and look forward for Christ We know the current condition of the church, of our lives (some good, some bad) Let’s ...read more

    “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matt. 10:29-31)

    The Disney movie "The Emperor's New Groove" sounds like its straight out of the Bible; a story where a king, along with his evil female advisor, desire a new plot of ground. This sermon addresses the slippery slope of envy and coveting.

    In Disney’s thirty-ninth animated film, “The Emperor’s New Groove,” self-proclaimed “King of the World” Kuzco (COOS-coh), who had an evil female advisor named Yzma (EEZ-muh), made plans to demolish an entire village to build a new water park. At the highest point of the village he planned on ...read more

    Sermon for Senior Adult Sunday; Joshua’s "retirement speech" identifies his sense of God’s promises kept and focuses on claiming the future for the next generation.

    Are you a little tired of all the pious platitudes about failure? You know, the folks who tell you that failure is a good thing because you will grow from failure and you will be a better person? I am a little tired of that. I do not want to grow from failure. I want to be a success. I do not ...read more
