    The Blessed Benefits Of God's Love Series

     | 35,470 views

    The secret to living the Christian life is not trying to imitate Jesus. The secret to the Christian life is allowing Jesus simply to control every part of your life so his character is just displayed.

    INTRODUCTION If you are going to interview for a new job, you want to know what the salary is, but you also want to know what the “fringe benefits” are. The benefits I’m going to talk about today are not “fringe” by any stretch of the imagination. Instead, they are ...read more

    Jesus makes average, everyday believers a priority, and through His suffering, He demonstrates His love for us, opening our hearts and minds to the Scriptures.

    Hey everyone! Today, we're going to dive into an awesome story from the Bible that happened on the same day Jesus came back to life. It's about two regular people, just like you and me, who had an encounter with Jesus that changed their lives. The main idea is that Jesus cares about each one of us, ...read more

    That's No Excuse!

    based on 24 ratings
     | 9,880 views

    The divine call never comes out of recognition of a special talent or particular piety or readiness to serve. It comes because God has decided you’re it!

    That’s No Excuse – Jeremiah 1: 4 - 10 Intro: As a high school teacher I think you hear every excuse that was ever given. Things like: “My little brother tore up my homework.” “I had to work late and didn’t get to it.” “I didn’t understand it.” --- And when we leave school we do not leave ...read more

    Our tongue can get us into a lot of trouble. Taken from the 7 sin that are an abomination, this sermon deals with the three that del with the tongue.

    Soul Food

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 17, 2015
     | 5,462 views

    In order to live with Christ, we have to die to our worldly way of life and take up his life-a life of forgiveness, goodness, trust and service. If we are grounded in Christ’s unconditional love, we are free to lead like Jesus and love and serve others.

    The passage we have just heard from John’s Gospel is part of the lengthy “bread of life” discourse in which Jesus shows that he is the only way we can satisfy the hunger we have in our souls. Hunger is a powerful motivator. When we are physically hungry, we get something to eat. ...read more

    Man's Fickleness And God's Faithfulness Series

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Nov 23, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,469 views

    In Isaiah 65 and 66, Isaiah presents the contrast between man’s fickleness and God’s faithfulness.

    So far, we’ve spent five weeks in the Book of Isaiah, focusing on how Isaiah describes the “Day of the Lord”. As I’ve pointed out during that time, much of what Isaiah writes deals with various aspects of the “Day of the Lord”, so all we’ve really been able to do is to look at a few brief snapshots ...read more

    This two part series focuses on the differences between Christian beliefs and how the label Christian does not fully describes those following Jesus as it did when the term was originally given to His followers.

    Christian Part 1 Scriptures: Act 11:26; 1 Peter 4:16; Matthew 7:13-14; 28:19 Introduction The title of my message this morning is “Christian” and I really want you to understand how this term describes someone who follows Christ today versus when it was first used some 2000 years ...read more

    Creation Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jan 6, 2012
     | 13,758 views

    Through Genesis 1:1-5, we see the answers to: 1) Who Created What? (Genesis 1:1), 2) Where did God Create? (Genesis 1:2), 3) How did God Create? (Genesis 1:3), 4) Why did God Create? (Genesis 1:4), 5) When did God Create? (Genesis 1:5)

    The beginning of a meal, date, year, job or a life in general can be daunting, yet exciting time.

    Did You Receive The Holy Spirit When You Believed?

    Contributed by Greg Tabor on Apr 7, 2005
    based on 37 ratings
     | 8,997 views

    All Christians have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them. Paul’s question here is not referring to that. His question concerns whether or not the believers had been baptized in the Holy Spirit. This experience is subsequent to salvation.
