    The Bright And Dark Side Of Man Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jul 17, 2016
     | 11,643 views

    The Bible says that in the heart of every Christian, there is a nature that points to the bright side and another on the dark side of man. Our goal is that we will not just focus on our strength of character but also improve our weaknesses.

    That great Scottish author, Robert Louis Stevenson published an interesting novel in 1886 entitled, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

    Lost Our First Love

    Contributed by Mark Engler on Sep 28, 2017
     | 8,521 views

    The application to this is if we put Jesus first in our lives and if we continue to strive for Him, continue to draw ourselves close to Him, He will improve us and make us more like Him everyday.

    Lost Our First Love ME I love Jesus and I love being a minister of Christ. I honestly believe being a minister is the most important thing I could do on the face of the earth. I love to preach and teach God’s word and I’m glad He led me here to MVC. Honestly though, He chose a tremendously ...read more

    The Gates Must Be Opened Series

    Contributed by James Dina on Jan 11, 2022
     | 12,206 views

    If these gates remain shut, it will limit our service to God and hinder our destiny fulfilment; but when these gates are opened, we will have exponential church growth, improvement in our church finances and abundant blessings.

    THE GATES MUST BE OPENED “When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him” (Acts 12:10) We shall ...read more

    All believers are stewards of the Kingdom of God. As we meander through life, we need to face the realities about keeping the Kingdom a priority while doing what we can to improve its future impact.

    Keeping Kingdom Central Despite Life’s Winding Paths (Acts 20:22-36) 1, Life can be filled with amazing coincidences. 2.

    In The Silence Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,400 views

    One way we can improve our worship experience corporately, is to meet with God more fully and intimately each day of the week. The fullest encounter of God is found not just in His presence, but encountering His glory.

    Encountering God – Part 3: “In the Silence” Quote from Children’s Letters to God. "Dear God, Is Pastor Bill a friend of yours, or do you just know him through business? Donny" Why did we do testimonies? Testimonies are for praise. Praise is about what God has done. Worship is about who God ...read more

     | 7,035 views

    The heart of a believer has not been improved, but instead, he has been given a new heart by which he is brought by small steps to act upon new principles, by new rules, with new ends, and in new company.

    June 22, 2014 Tom Lowe The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Lesson II.B.6.b: Paul’s Message. (5:16-21) 2nd Corinthians 5:16-21 (NKJV) 16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we ...read more

    Serving Like Jesus Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 17,343 views

    In this first sermon, I establish that we must be conformed into the likeness of Jesus. Because He was a servant, we must also become servants. A resource I am basing the series on is Charles Swindoll's "Improving Your Serve."

    A. One day a woman was interviewing a prospective butler and asked him, “Are you trained to serve guests?” 1. The prospective butler replied “Yes, ma’am, I have been trained to serve guests both ways.” 2. The woman looked puzzled and asked, “What do you mean, ...read more

    God saved us to improve his team, the church. We live worthy of being drafted by God when we do such. Paul shows us how to preserve the unity God has already created in Christ.

    Stay One Ephesians 4:1-6 It happens every year in April. Team owners gather at Radio City Music Hall in New York City for the NFL Draft.

    Dead Man Walking

     | 5,580 views

    In this passage, Paul delivered a riveting message - man apart from Christ is dead in sin. A dead man is hopeless to do anything to improve his situation - he's dead! Our only hope is found in Christ.

    Dead Man Walking Ephesians 2: 1-3 Often as those condemned to death by execution are led from their cell toward the death chamber, the other prisoners will say, “Dead man walking.” For the condemned, and all who face a similar fate, the reality of the situation begins to take hold.

    Stages On The Journey

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,519 views

    On the journey of faith, our spiritual vision is often clouded. As we continue on the journey, Jesus corrects our spiritual vision. We are to remain on the journey of faith, looking to Jesus for improved vision. Luke gives us three reasons.

    I am looking at this passage as a portrayal of the Christian journey of faith. Like all journeys, the Christian pilgrimage through life has a point of departure, a destination, and a route through which we travel from one to the other. Verse 39 shows us a pilgrim who has just begun the journey. ...read more
