    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 20, 2023
     | 5,301 views

    A storm could be a financial hardship, a personal loss, a sickness, or a troubled relationship. We can’t always predict them. We can’t outrun them. But we can navigate through them by the power and presence of God.

    Sermon – Navigating Life’s Storms Scripture-Acts 27:13-44 ‘When a light wind began blowing from the south, the sailors thought they could make it. So they pulled up anchor and sailed close to the shore of Crete. 14 But the weather changed abruptly, and a wind of typhoon strength (called a ...read more

     | 1,206 views

    There are not many modern "Davids" because there is another anointing that is missing: the Abishai anointing. Abishai was with David in the bad times, willing to try the impossible, he was teachable & loyal.

    THE ABISHAI ANOINTING: SUPPORT THE PASTOR 2 Sam. 23:18-19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Mary Brumbaugh told about her pilot husband; “My husband, an airline pilot, often has difficulty locating items around our house. One day he asked me where the salt was.

    When Your Dreams Fall Into The Pit Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 14, 2025
     | 258 views

    Like Israel sent Joseph to his brothers because of his love and concern for his rebellious children, God sent His son Jesus out of love for a world that is lost and distant from Him because of their sin. God is concerned for both your daily and eternal welfare.

    Today, we are in Genesis 37. If you remember, for 20 years Jacob went from running, to wrestling, to resolving issues with God and his brother Esau. On his journey back home to Hebron, he endured deep sorrow — the rape of his daughter, Dinah, the shame of his sons’ violent revenge, and the loss of ...read more

    Where Is God When It Hurts?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 22, 2025
     | 139 views

    When life hurts, God’s presence sustains, His sovereignty prevails, and His purpose transforms suffering into glory through the Cross of Christ.

    There are times when life just doesn’t make sense. You love God. You serve Him. You try to walk uprightly. Yet pain seems to find you like a heat-seeking missile. You look around, and the wicked are prospering, the proud are climbing, and the people who mock God seem to have the easiest lives of ...read more

    We had many 911 situations in this generation. Let this sermon show you how we can handle these situations to encourage this generation.

    We have just read in the above scripture a 911 situation. We found a boy vexed by a foul spirit and no one could deliver Him but Jesus.

     | 9,934 views

    Hell is a literal place that most preachers shy away from preaching in this current "seeker-sensitive" church culture of ours for fear of offending, and to ensure religious correctness and church growth. In our text we find a man preaching from Hell.

    A Sermon from Hell Luke 16:19-31 Introduction: On an airplane a pastor opened his Bible to the story of Jonah and began to study. The man sitting next to him glanced at this pastors reading selection and commented, “Surely you do not believe that a man was actually swallowed by a whale and ...read more

    Sermon National Day Of Prayer, When The Church Prays

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 10, 2024
     | 1,373 views

    No amount of preaching, teaching, singing, music, or activity will bring forth the genuine power and presence of the Holy Spirit like the fervent prayers of the righteous. Prayer changes things! When we work, we work; when we pray, God works!

    Subject - Effective Fervent Prayer Invites Divine Intervention Scripture - Acts 12:5-11 “So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries ...read more

    Jesus rides through life’s storms and history’s final tempest with self-giving love, ending evil and filling the universe with hallelujah.

    Part 1 – Storms A familiar sound of trouble In 1971 a strange new sound came over the radio: a low rumble of thunder, rain in the background, and Jim Morrison’s hushed voice sliding like mist through Riders on the Storm.

     | 8,358 views

    Heart problems abound in our culture. In a society so fast-paced as ours, heart problems are inevitable. But there is another kind of heart problem which is even bigger. You may call it blindness of the heart.

    Ephesians: Our Identity In Christ Part 4 Eyes of the Heart Ephesians 1:15-19 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you, and your love for all the saints, do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of ...read more
