    With the economic recession are we worrying or trusting in God? A sermon to remind people to trust in God by faith that he will provide if we put him first.

    You don’t have to read the Wall Street Journal to realize our economy is in crisis mode right now.

    In the light of the Lord’s impending return, we’re to pray that our faith will grow and that our love will increase. Since those who don’t know God will be punished when Christ appears, we must avoid mediocre spirituality and apathetic prayers.

    Praying for the Right Things One of my favorite commercials is for a cell phone company in which cellular static has caused some confusion between a married couple. The wife had just asked her husband to bring home “a movie, something old.” The husband however, thought she said, “Bring home a ...read more

    It’s my hope and prayer that as we see the meaning of these numbers that it will cause our faith to increase as we realize that no man or any group of men could have possible worked these great truths out, only God could do this.

    # 7~ FIVE pt.2 THE MEANING OF BIBLE NUMBERS 11-19-11 Today we’ll continue on with our study of the meaning of Bible numbers, as I told you last time the number five has a two fold meaning , (grace or we could say Gods goodness—and the other meaning is death) It’s ...read more

    I took S.M. Lockridge’s message, probably preached 70 years ago, and adapted it by making it into rhyming verse which increases it's power. You can add this at the end of your next Easter message for a powerful ending.

    A. IT’S FRIDAY, BUT SUNDAY’S COMING 1. It’s Friday! Jesus is praying, Peter’s straying, Judas is betraying -- But Sunday’s comin.’ 2. It’s Friday. Pilate is judging, the council is fudging, the crowd’s are shouting, the disciples are pouting. Mary is crying & Peter’s denying. But they don’t ...read more

     | 13,079 views

    Does your giving really cost you? How much is left behind? Are you giving out from the heart? Are you demonstrating a trust in God? Are you giving generously as the widow who gave just two lepta?

    A Pattern For Giving Mark 12:41-44 The roof of the church hall of a little Swiss church, at the turn of the 20th century, was falling down. So the members of the church held regular prayer meetings in the hall after the service to pray for funds to repair the roof. There was an old man, known to ...read more

     | 8,774 views

    God blesses when we get behind the vision He ordains. Division threatens to side track the church from His vision. This sermon looks at the importance of seeking unity, but not at the cost of the vision God calls us to follow.

    Blessing, Division, and Vision Genesis 13: 1 Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had ...read more

    When a running horse gets to the edge of a cliff, it’s way too late to say "Whoa." Sin is that way too. One flirting moment will cost a life time of heartache. Let’s examine the subject together!

    Introduction One of our young teenagers told me as I was getting ready to enter the pulpit one week. "Pastor, I had a dream about Heaven and you were in it!" And of course I was curious and ask her to share it with me. She said, "I dreamed I was in Heaven and I saw this huge chalk board. God said ...read more

    Sin will take you farther than you planned on going. Sin will cost you more than you intended on paying. Sin will keep you longer than you planed on staying. Sin leaves terrible scars.

    WHY SODOM? WHY US? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com TEXT: Ezekiel 16:49 and Genesis 18 and 19 Sin is a lot like the icing Mom used to make.

    In this message we discover that Jesus is not against us having money; but when money has us it's a whole different issue. Greed costs us more than we'll ever get from being greedy.

    Intro: The African hunters have an interesting strategy when it comes to catching monkeys. The hunter will take a hollow gourd, cut a hole in it just large enough for the monkey to fit its hand through, but too small for the monkey to pull its closed fist out, bait the trap with peanuts, rice, or ...read more

    You can determine to pay the price no matter how high the cost seems to be. Far too often we cry out to the Lord to deliver us out of the test that He intends to walk us through it.

     | 4,955 views

    Queen Vashti was expected to behave in a way contrary to conscience and she refused the king's command. Her refusal was the right decision to make, but it cost her dearly. Living upright will not always gain one the favor of the world.

    The Defiance of the Queen Esther 1: 10-22 As we consider our text today, we must do so in light of the preceding verses. King Ahasuerus had thrown a six month long party, culminating with a seven day finale. He had provided an elaborate escapade for all the princes and servants within the ...read more
