    Contributed by Jason Jones on Jun 4, 2025
     | 45 views

    This morning we are going to see some truths that get to the heart of the religious establishment’s problem with Jesus: his authority.

    Background to passage, Matthew 21:23-27: Last week of Jesus’s life. Follows Sunday’s prophetical and demonstrative entrance into Jerusalem, Monday/Tuesday’s indictment of the temple practices, the living parable of the cursing of the fig tree, and now he is teaching in the temple on Tuesday ...read more

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jun 10, 2025
     | 240 views

    Many ask God: WHY? WHY? Often we cannot understand what is happening. Our emotions and feelings can play mind games. Many blessings come as obstacles and hindrances We must forget the things behind us and reach forward. .

    BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE? OBSTACLE VS OPPORTUNITY? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) Philippians 3:14 (MSG) I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back. 15 So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. ...read more

    Beyond Grit: The God Who Brings Walls Down

     | 159 views

    Move beyond human grit and trust in God’s power, showing through the fall of Jericho that walls of fear, hardship, and sin collapse not by strength or strategy, but through patient obedience and unwavering faith in the God.

    Beyond Grit: The God Who Brings Walls Down Joshua 6:1-20 "Sheer grit can only take you as far as your strength allows. But many walls only crumble through faith in the One who is able." Even though Abram was given the astonishing promise, “I will make you into a great nation, and I ...read more

    Belonging To God In A Broken World

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jun 21, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 79 views

    In a world of isolation and shallow connection, true belonging is found not through status, performance, or digital affirmation, but through surrendering to Jesus Christ, being born again by the Spirit, and embraced as a beloved child of God, forever known, loved, and secured by the Father.

    Belonging to God in a Broken World Matthew 19:16-26; John 3:1-18, 17:1-11 "In an age of constant connection, we’ve never been more relationally malnourished—because our hearts were made for more than clicks; they were made for communion" There was a time when a person’s identity, ...read more

    Jesus Questioned About Paying Taxes Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Sep 25, 2023
     | 1,049 views

    So knowing that the U.S. government apparently is somewhat reckless in how it spends money, should we still pay our taxes faithfully? Or should we try to get around our taxes?

    In the year 2022, according to the CBO, the United States government raised 4.9 trillion dollars in tax income. About half came from individual income taxes. It’s a massive amount of money that we’re talking about, but despite that, the U.S. government is currently 33.1 trillion dollars in debt, ...read more

    We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 7 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 6, 2023
     | 1,287 views

    We live in a corrupt world. Truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. Satan permeates right through society especially in the judiciary. There is little justice any more. We look at ways Christians are penalised by Satan’s system, but evil is promoted.

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 7 We continue this study of the schemes Satan uses to infiltrate all aspects of humanity. His influence is everywhere. We need wisdom and reliance on the Lord for the battle we are engaged in. We will examine two more of these schemes. ...read more

    The Sacrifices We Make Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,258 views

    Joseph sacrificed a lot because Jesus was in his life, and he never complained. Are we called to make sacrifices when we follow Jesus, and what kind of sacrifices could we make?

    There was a Christmas play where a little boy desperately wanted to be Joseph. But when the parts were handed out, his biggest rival was given that part, and he was assigned to be the inn keeper instead. He was really bitter about this. So, during all the rehearsals he kept plotting in his mind ...read more

    Help Me God, I'm Confused Series

    Really..., I'm supposed to: pray for the King and all those in authority? That is what it says. That is God's inspired Word. That is not given as a suggestion, it is a command.

    8-26-13 (Revised 10-9-2022) Help Me God, I'm Confused I Timothy 2:1-4 “It ain’t over till its over.” You know who said that? Yogi Berra. That line makes sense.

    Help Me God, I'm Discouraged Series

     | 3,767 views

    The Devil has done his work of discouragement for a long time. If you feel discouraged, you are not alone. God's children do get discouraged. But what did Jesus mean when he said that we can have “life more abundantly,” “life to the full?”

    Alba 8-18-13 (Revised 10-23-2022) HELP ME GOD, I'M DISCOURAGED John 10:10 I don’t know if this story about Abraham Lincoln is true or not, but the story is told that Lincoln was surprised one day when a rough looking man drew a revolver and pushed it in his face. "Abe" figured ...read more

     | 1,495 views

    Words have power. And whether that power accomplishes good or evil depends on where it comes from, and what it is intended to do.

    “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” You’ve all heard that saying, haven’t you? We’ve probably all used it, in fact - usually when a child comes home from school upset because someone called her a bad name. We do distinguish between words and actions. That is what ...read more

    Have you ever been asked to do something that you just did not feel prepared to do at all? God asks BIG things of us, and we feel like we could never measure up...BUT, He will ALWAYS equip us for the things He asks of us, even if we don't think we are ready for it yet!

    As we continue to talk about our Mis-Quoted series…I wanted to focus a little bit on the different things God called His people to do in the Scriptures…WE are going to talk about a guy who, in all honesty, was not equipped to do what God was asking Him to do…but we as His people are called to ...read more
