    Betrayal

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 2,841 views

    Betrayal takes a while from which to recover. Trust must be rebuilt.

    The Lord got me to thinking about the many pitfalls that we go through in life. So I thought for the next few weeks we'll see what instructions the Bible can give us on how to overcome these pitfalls. Today I want to specifically talk about the pitfall of betrayal. You know trust is a ...read more

    Preparing For Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,405 views

    An overview of how to truly prepare yourself before you go to God in prayer.

    I have shared with a few of you the past few days or weeks that after the Bible study in the Book of Daniel I was thinking about explaining and giving detailed instructions on centering prayer. I haven’t done that in a number of years so I thought it would be good to discuss it this evening. I ...read more

    Contemplative Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,679 views

    Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

    Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

    Disciplined Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,303 views

    Disciplined prayer is a prayer method that began in the 4th century and is used to quiet the static in our mind, reduce the mental noise and improve the receptivity of our communication with God.

    Tonight we're going to take a look at yet another type of Prayer. This prayer is known as disciplined prayer. I know as we are looking at different types of Prayer you're going to hear a lot of repetition because as I said before, these techniques tend to overlap each other. But think of ...read more

    The Injustices Of Life

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 18, 2022
     | 3,098 views

    Life can throw many hard things at us. We may even be tempted to let our hope in God fade. We want to scream, “Where is the justice?” As we move along a little further in Joseph's life God would want us to be encouraged that he will always see his children through.

    Today I want to talk about the injustices of life. Have you walked through a season when you couldn't seem to catch a break? Did you ever wonder if good days would ever return? Maybe you lost a job around the same time a loved one died. Or you were going through a painful divorce just as ...read more

    Hard Times

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 1, 2022
     | 4,140 views

    Life is full of ups and downs. God wants us to always stay focused on Him when times or good or bad. Don’t give up on God, but don’t forget about Him either.

    For the past few weeks we've been talking about things like betrayal, temptation, and the injustices in our lives. Today I want to group all of that together and just talk a little bit about hard times in general. Life is full of ups and downs. A star quarterback throws a game-winning ...read more

    Bitterness

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 8, 2022
     | 4,575 views

    This message today is about bitterness but I think we are going to find that it’s more about forgiveness.

    This message today is about bitterness but I think we are going to find that it’s more about forgiveness. Let's talk about bitterness in our life today. As kids, we could look at certain foods and be convinced it would taste bad. And some foods can surprise us. Take, for example, an apple. ...read more

     | 4,031 views

    Does how you live your life exhibit your love for God?

    Today let’s ask the question, “Can I be described by the term LOVE?” Does how you live your life exhibit your love for God? Everyone has had a first love in life. Do you remember yours? It might have been a childhood or teenage crush. Some call it puppy love. For some it may have happened ...read more

    Standing Strong In The Face Of Difficulties

     | 4,920 views

    We can stand strong in the face of any fearful situation. That's because we are truly rich in the grace of God.

    Have you ever been scared? I mean scared to the point that you were afraid for your life. There was a group of missionaries that were on a mission trip in London. They were in prayer walking one afternoon in an area that was full of mosques and protesters were in the streets. As they walked and ...read more

     | 3,678 views

    A few background details before getting into the study.

    Tonight, we begin a more detailed look at the book of Daniel. I’m not exactly sure where God will lead us in this study. There are only 12 chapters in the book of Daniel but I’m not sure how detailed God will get us. But I anticipate this study taking 5-6 months or longer. So, hang on. Fasten ...read more

    Compromise Is Not The Answer Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 30, 2021
     | 2,854 views

    In the very beginning of his stay in the king's Palace, Daniel took a stand that could have led to his execution or at the very least, enslavement or imprisonment.

    Last time we talked about how Daniel and his three friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego remained faithful to the Lord despite how they were strongly tempted to compromise. He was determined to stay faithful to the Lord no matter how much pressure was put upon him. So, in the very beginning of ...read more

    No Room For Compromise

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 7, 2021
     | 3,429 views

    Today we are going to again use chapter 2 of Revelation beginning in verse 12 to see what Jesus had to say about the church at Pergamum and how they compromised their faith in Christ by “changing their color” and becoming like those around them.

    We have been studying the Book of Daniel on Wednesday nights and I would like to invite you all to come at 6:30 on Wednesday nights and join us. But last Wednesday, we talked about how Daniel and his 3 friends were tempted greatly to compromise with King Nebuchadnezzar’s and the world’s ways. We ...read more

    Staying Pure In Heart

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 8, 2021
     | 2,550 views

    In our world today, many are doubting God and turning away from Him. So how can we strengthen our faith and remain faithful? We only need to remember that Christ will one day return and rid this world of all sin, immorality, and suffering.

    I want you to think about your spiritual life for a moment. How would you rank your spiritual life? Is it backsliding? Is it stagnant? Or is it growing? We're going to again use the Book of Revelation and a letter that Jesus wrote to the church in Thyatira to examine our own spiritual ...read more
