     | 20,632 views

    God knows our tendency to struggle in the area of anger. His Word gives us some instruction in this matter. Let’s pay close attention so that we might honor God in all things – even in our anger.

    Series: There’s an App for That “Anger” Matthew 5:21-26, 39, 43-48 Open In Lille, France, a woman became fed up with neighbors parking outside of her home blocking her gate. For weeks, she asked and pleaded with them to not do it. She woke up before dawn one morning to ...read more

    To be used of God is my desire. Is that your desire today? Paul speaking to Timothy about the issue of Christians who were caught up in false teaching and Christians caught up in worldliness, instructs us as believers as to how we can be used of God.

    Usable 2 Timothy 2:19-26 Audrey Mieir wrote in her song, "To Be Used of God": "I've a yearning in my heart that cannot be denied, It's a longing that has never yet been satisfied. I want the world to know the One who loves them so. Like a flame it's burning deep inside. To be used of God, to sing, ...read more

    Who Do You Trust?

     | 9,999 views

    In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus gave clear instructions to His followers to not worry about things God had already promised. Our worry betrays a lack of trust in God and distracts us from doing the work of the kingdom. Four times in the Gospel of Matth

    WHO DO YOU TRUST? Matthew 6:25-30 25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor ...read more

     | 7,008 views

    There are 3 requirements for the person who sits near the exit door on a plane. (1) you must understand the instructions. (2) you must be able to pint people to the door. (3) you must be able to guide them through the door. Same for a disciple.

    “Let me Show you the Door” 2 Corinthians 6:3-10 If you have ever flown in an airplane and I am sure most of us have, then you know that one of the things they do is have the flight attendants give a few basic instructions. I don’t really fly that often but I will admit that when ...read more

    Loaded - Pt. 1 - Benefit 1 Series

    Contributed by Steve Ely on Nov 22, 2014
     | 8,036 views

    We are instructed to give thanks. Some of us struggle to do that because we aren't sure that God has blessed us lately. Situations and circumstances cause us to wonder if God even deserves our thanks! The truth is that we are loaded!

    Loaded Pt. 1- Benefit 1 I. Introduction One day a year we are reminded to be thankful. This reminder should not be needed since we are commanded to be thankful. Psalm 95, 97, 107, and then in Psalm 118, 1 Chronicles 16, and finally in one of the most interesting instances in Psalm 136. This is an ...read more

    Loaded Pt. 1- Benefit 2 I. Introduction We have been commanded repeatedly to be thankful. Over and over again gratitude is commanded because God is worthy and because the writers understand that He responds to grateful people. With that said there are times when we must make the conscious choice ...read more

     | 32,961 views

    Ministry and hearing God's voice are important aspects of our service to God. The more we learn how to hear from God, the more we receive godly instructions. In this message we will learn how Samuel heard from God and shared this to Eli.

    Through constant prayer and worship, we can hear God's voice. The more we hear Him, the more we receive fresh instructions from God for daily living. We need to hear Him speak to us on how we should act and what we should say to people. We need to hear Him how we should budget our finances well. We ...read more

    The Lord’s Supper

     | 8,670 views

    WE KNOW THAT JESUS INSTITUTED THE LORD’S SUPPER, OR WHAT WE CALL COMMUNION, AS PART OF THE LAST SUPPER. IT WAS AN OBJECT LESSON OF WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO HIM. HE GAVE US THE INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTINUE TO OBSERVE THIS SERVICE UNTIL HE COMES AGAIN.

    THE LORD’S SUPPER 1 CORINTHIANS 11:`17-34 THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS WE CAN CONSIDER THE SERVICE OF THE LORD’S SUPPER, MUCH MORE THAN WE CAN COVER IN ONE MESSAGE. TODAY, I WANT TO FOCUS ON THE CORPORATE ASPECT OF THE LORD’S SUPPER THAT PAUL TEACHES IN THIS PASSAGE. I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT ...read more

    Obedience is an important factor that should be taken serious when walking with God. Partial obedience is as good as disobedience . When God gives an instruction, He wants us to follow it as it is given even when you think it doesn't make sense to you.

    AUTHOR: BOLA FOLAKEMI PRAISE TOPIC: DON’T LOOK BACK TEXT: GEN 19:12-17, 23-26. The determination to turn from the character that annoys God is a big sign of spiritual growth. This highlights that you care about how God feels about you. Obedience is an important factor that should be taken ...read more

    The Marks Of A Generation That Knows Not God

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Mar 8, 2021
     | 23,015 views

    We must understand that the Old Testament is not written just to fill up space in the Bible but is written to instruct and inform us of what to do and not do. Romans 15:4 “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning.”

    The Marks of a Generations that knows not God. By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - A few years ago I had an incident happen that saddened my heart but also made me think just where we as a people are going and how each generation is failing the next generation.

    The All-Caring Compassionate Lord – John 14 V 15 To 21 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022
     | 1,615 views

    The night before the cross was a long night and Jesus instructed His disciples for hours. He promised the Holy Spirit and explained the closeness of the Spirit's ministry in the lives of the disciples (and us). A most touching passage of John's Gospel.

    THE ALL-CARING COMPASSIONATE LORD – John 14 v 15 to 21 [A]. INTRODUCTION: It is important today we place our passage in context. We can go right back to {{John 13 v 34 “A new commandment I give to you that you love one another, that you also love one another even as I have loved you.”}} This ...read more

    The Spirit Is Our Teacher Series

     | 1,086 views

    The Holy Spirit first came into the apostles to help them remember and write about the teachings and life of Jesus and the instructions for the church. The Holy Spirit now lives in the child of God in order to help them learn, understand and obey God's Word.

    A. Once there was a teacher who saw one of her students sitting there without a pencil doing nothing while the rest of the class was working on their assignment. 1. The teacher asked, “Where’s your pencil?” 2. The student answered, “I ain’t got no pencil.” 3. To which the teacher explained, “How ...read more

    A Look At Joseph, Husband Of Mary Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 18, 2024
     | 470 views

    Joseph, the husband-to-be of Mary of Nazareth, was looking forward to his wedding day! But he received some news that almost made him change his mind. After a word from the Lord, he followed the Lord's instructions.

    (Based on a sermon preached December 15, 2024 at New Hope Baptist Church, Fulton, MO. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Two Sundays ago we looked at Zacharias and Elisabeth as two important people in the first Christmas story. Last week we studied the message of the angel Gabriel ...read more

    Free To Abide Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,209 views

    Many of us know we should “ABIDE in Christ” as we are instructed in John 15:4-5. But somehow we don’t seem to be able to ABIDE, and we don’t have the evidence of the fruits of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22.

    Jesus said, “ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:4-5. The ...read more

     | 3,754 views

    Military strategists would have laughed out loud if they had heard God's strategy for defeating the enemies of Israel during Gideon's day. Gideon,though, followed these instructions to the letter and God gave Israel a great victory!

    Introduction: Some of the military’s greatest strategists mentioned never going into action against the enemy unless you have two or three times more of everything than they do. Gideon had blown the trumpet, basically the same thing as declaring war against Israel’s enemies, and many of the local ...read more
