    The Curse Of The Law Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 6, 2018
     | 4,113 views

    Only perfect performance could win divine approval under the Law, but since that was not achievable the Law could only condemn a person (James 2.10) and cause him to cast himself on God in faith.

    Why Are You Laughing? Series

    Contributed by David Spiegel on Oct 23, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,912 views

    Sometimes we scoff at the idea of the miraculous things God desires to do in our lives! We shouldn't be shocked at God's favor and His doing the impossible! Doubting God is never a “laughing matter”! Doubt is a poison we should do our best to avoid!

    Why Are You Laughing? Continuing with the series, “Questions?” • First week, “Did God Really Say…?” • Second week, “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” • Both of these were questions asked in opposition to God’s plan and purpose This week, we are going to look a little closer at a question that was asked ...read more

    Broken But Recyclable

    Contributed by Les Buttolph on Aug 24, 2022
     | 3,737 views

    Lent is a time we confess we are broken. But Jesus can take what's broken and recycle us to have meaning and purpose for His kingdom

    Lent officially began with the observation of Ash Wednesday, a day for Christians to confess their sins and receive ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross. Ashes were a reminder of death, so when people were in mourning or received tragic news, they would put ashes over themselves. ...read more

     | 2,793 views

    "I am the Bread of Life." The Bread of Life, the True Bread from heaven, passed through the oven of God's wrath, so now He both saves and sustains all those who have trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. The Grain of Wheat dying has produced a glorious harvest.

    I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE – ALL YOU EVER NEED IN THIS WORLD AND THE NEXT - PART 1 Our studies in these powerful sayings of the Lord Jesus continue with the next one, and one so necessary – I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE.

    Why have we descended into this spiritual mess? Why? It is because we have lost our appetite for the Bread of Life and prefer rather, the onions, cucumbers, leeks and garlic of Egypt. We have dishonoured the Lord of the churches, and despised the Bread of Life.

    I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE – ALL YOU EVER NEED IN THIS WORLD AND THE NEXT - PART 2 This is PART 2 of the Message “I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE” one of the magnificent truths spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ when on earth.

    Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omnipotent Series

    Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 12, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,408 views

    Job 1-2 reveals Satan’s limitations. Satan is not God’s equal opposite. Unlike God, Satan isn’t omnipresent (everywhere), omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing). This session’s focus: Satan is not omnipotent; he can only do what God allows. So why does God allow suffering?

    ************* Satan Is Not OMNIPOTENT (All-Powerful) The Lord asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job; there is none like him in the earth. He is a perfect and upright man, who fears God and avoids evil?” Satan asked, “Haven't you made a hedge on every side about him and his house ...read more

    Kirk Franklin several years ago wrote “The Reason Why We Sing”. Some of the words are Someone asked the question Why do we sing? When we lift our hands to Jesus What do we really mean? Someone may be wondering When we sing our song At times we're even crying And nothings even wrong.

    Semper Fi

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,388 views

    Semper Fi is a phrase that has been adopted by the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi means “always faithful”, or “always loyal.” We are called to serve Him and continue serving Him until He calls us home. Semper Fi, fellow Christians. Always be faithful to the end.

    I don't use a lot of sports illustrations, but I came across this one that leads right into the message today.

    1 Kings 17:2-16 We left Elijah last Sunday having given a weather report and then promptly disappearing. You could be left thinking is that it?

    A Study Of "The Day Of The Lord” In The Scriptures – All References Part 3 - Joel Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 26, 2022
     | 1,551 views

    The term "The Day of the LORD" is used often in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. It is the time God intervenes openly in this world after the Rapture, in the Tribulation. A dreadful time. We look at all the references for that in a series. Joel is a key book.

    A STUDY OF “THE DAY OF THE LORD” IN THE SCRIPTURES – ALL REFERENCES PART 3 - JOEL The DAY OF THE LORD is “The Day of Jehovah” and its usage is always associated with something dire, with judgement, and with events outside the implementation of man. In other words, it is the intervention of God ...read more
