     | 11,294 views

    Peter, the greatest of the 12, a man of faith & power, took 7 backward steps that nearly ruined his ministry. But God's love & grace was greater than his sin. He was restored and again became God's prime mover. Look for these 7 steps in your life.

    THE 7 BACKWARD STEPS OF PETER Mk. 14:30-72 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A college student went into a large pet supply store and approached the pet food counter, “Hi! I would like to order 30,000 cockroaches to be picked up tomorrow, please.” 2. The astonished clerk said, “What in the world would ...read more

    Created In The Image Of God Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 8, 2022
     | 14,165 views

    This message looks at the concept of being created in the image of God, what that means and how the image becomes distorted.

    In the Beginning. That’s where it all started and where God created all things. Now, I have no interest in dating when that creation may or may not have happened. Everybody has a theory. For me, it’s enough to believe that God created everything. That this world as we know it was not an ...read more

    What do you picture when you picture God: A heavenly tyrant and scrupulous bookkeeper? "Every idea and assumption, says Trevor Hudson, must be measured against the person of Jesus."

    Last Sunday I asked you to mentally or physically draw a picture of what you think God looks like. It may have sounded silly or trite, but I was very, very serious. As preacher, author, and lecturer Trevor Hudson so powerfully and succinctly put it: “In each of our hearts and minds there is ...read more

    Body language has become a very important thing these days.

    Body language is used in nearly every aspect of daily life, and observing someone can sometimes tell you a lot about how a person is feeling and what is on their mind. For example, in poker, people try to limit their body language to prevent others from guessing their hand or what they might ...read more

    Exceeding Expectations Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,911 views

    Jesus said that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. This means that He wants us to exceed the spiritual expectations prescribed by the Law; as we are to strive for excellence in our walk with God.

    I have entitled our message, “Exceeding Expectations,” and I want to begin by sharing a true story. A contractor in Mexico was hired to build a Catholic Church, but he used cheap materials in order to make more money. He reasoned that the quality of the materials did not matter, so long as the ...read more

    Don’t be ignorant about your spiritual gift(s). Rather, appreciate the sure manifestations of the Spirit, the single source and purpose of your spiritual gifts, and the assortment of spiritual gifts God gives to the church.

    Having instructed Timothy on relationships with widows and elders, now Paul addressed relationships between slaves and masters. Paul emphasized the importance of submission and obedience so that God's Word will be held in high esteem.

    Introduction: A. The relationship between bosses and employees can be fodder for many jokes and most of them are not too funny! (Especially if you are the boss) 1. I heard about a boss who put a sign on the company bulletin board that announced: “To err is human, to forgive is not a company ...read more

     | 1,449 views

    A new culture always means new experiences. Here are some thoughts developed from some places I saw in England, with Christian applications. The Church age hastens to an end. Be real for the Lord, because the Lord is real with us. God hates shams.

    ABISHAI ABISHAI was the eldest son of David's sister Zeruiah. He was the brother of Joab and Asahel. According to Josephus (Antiquities, VII, 1, 3), his father was called Suri. The meaning of his name is "Father of a gift." Abishai was the only one who accompanied David when he ...read more

    We take 22 aspects of Liberal Theology and look at why each is wrong. Some Liberals may hold to only one of these; others, many of them, but their adherence system will incorporate most of them. It is difficult to generalise because liberal thinking expands and changes.
