    Sermon – A Proper Response To The Seasons Of Life

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,684 views

    The Bible does not explain why violence and tragedies are a part of our world. We are not told why there was a serpent in the garden of Eden. We never told why bad things happen to good people. Yet men often speculate about the subject and are often wrong in their conclusions.

    Sermon – A Proper Response to the Seasons of Life Luke 13:1-9 “About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple. “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. ...read more

    Abandon Yourself Entirely To God: Examining The Concept Of Surrendering To God's Will Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 24, 2024
     | 1,555 views

    It’s not enough to simply call Jesus Lord, we really have to abandon ourselves to Him, deny ourselves, deny our old pattern of life, and embrace the new pattern of carrying our cross with Jesus. Otherwise there’s no hope. We have to give it all over!

    Abandon yourself to God. What does it mean exactly? When we become a follower of Jesus, we are renouncing, or throwing off our old ways of life. And we’re choosing a new way of life. A life which is now fundamentally under the command and control of God Almighty. We abandon ourselves to God. We ...read more

    The Case For Daily Repentance: Examining Yourself Daily In Your Walk With Christ

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 26, 2022
     | 1,577 views

    One of the best things you can do is sit down with another Christian or your pastor and confess the sin. It loses a lot of power when you share it with someone else.

    Today I’d like to make the case to you for the concept of daily repentance. As Christians we know we must be born again of the Spirit to share in the inheritance of Christ. We must be truly born again. We must be a new person. And as a new person in Jesus Christ we have the holy spirit within us. ...read more

    If You Want To Grow, Examine What You Think You Know

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023
     | 2,080 views

    Give God the glory for all you are and all you will be. Let us look inside ourselves and find the person God created us to be. If you know yourself, more power to you, but we still need to examine ourselves, if for no other reason than that is what God told us to do. Examine Yourself!

    When you know who you are in Christ, you can easily follow the Lord’s Way and Truth. Some of you think, “That’s too hard.” However, I ask the Holy Spirit to bring to your remembrance that Jesus, Himself, said: “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:30, NIV). If things are hard for some ...read more
