    Choices Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022
     | 2,471 views

    This the second sermon in a series based on The Book of Proverbs. Based on the TV game show "Let's Make a Deal," in which contestants struggle with the desire of their hearts -- to win "big" prizes or money, the choices we reveal the desires of our heart.

    I’m going to assume that you all are familiar with a popular little game show called “Let’s Make a Deal.” It’s been on for, like, ever it seems. The “contestants” are offered various “mystery prizes” to choose from. Some of the prizes are really amazing and some of the prizes … well, they’re ...read more

    We begin a series on the Restoration of Israel. This subject is most neglected, but it occupies much of the Major and Minor Prophets. This is the word of God and churches miss out when ministers neglect these great Old Testament Prophets.

    The theme of this week’s morning message what it takes to be overcomers in this world we live in. In our study we’ll get a clearer view of what is this world we must overcome, what prevents us from overcoming, and then what and who helps us become overcomers.

    The blessing of faith is of constant use throughout the Christian’s life, but it is of special usefulness when we die. The patriarchs in these verses illustrate the power of faith in facing death.

    The account of Noah is ridiculed, but it is filled with interesting facts, some problems, but much challenging teaching. This message, Part 1 of 3, examines the times of Noah with reference to our times and even beyond that. Who were the Nephilim?

    NOAH PART 1 – THE FAITHFUL PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN A PERVERSE GENERATION There is much to learn in the study of Noah, and we draw some lessons from this factual account in God’s word. Let us look at the opening verses of Genesis chapter 6: {{Genesis 6:1-4 Now it came about, when men began ...read more

    Jesus is knocking at the door of our heart. In the house of our heart there are things we don’t want him to see. But Jesus comes to bring us great things. On top of that he wants to have fellowship with us today and forever.

    You hear a knock on the front door of your house. Or you hear the doorbell ring in your home. What thoughts go through your mind as you head toward the front door? What emotions do you typically feel? Like so many situations in life the answers to those questions depend on the circumstances ...read more

    Dear friend, being born male is just the beginning. It takes a lot of hard work and courage to become a true man, especially one who follows the teachings of God. To truly understand what it means to be a real man, we need to examine the differences between being a male and being a mature man.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (1 Corinthians 3:11) "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (Proverbs 23:24) "The ...read more

    Let God Do The Finger Pointing

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 7, 2023
     | 2,126 views

    If finger pointing is impolite and it is so often connected to self-centered, sinful behavior why does God do it? God does this so that when sinners see their lost condition he can point them to the cross of his Son. There forgiveness is found. There salvation and eternal life are offered.

    “Finger pointing.” What thoughts do those two words bring to your mind? For the most part they are probably negative thoughts. At a very early age we are taught not to point at people. It’s considered impolite. As we get older we experience finger pointing in many different ways. If we had ...read more

     | 3,991 views

    In our faith journey, we often face weariness, doubt, and discouragement. We may feel as if our strength is failing, and the challenges before us seem insurmountable. But amid these struggles, Isaiah reminds us that God is always near, ready to renew our strength and empower us to overcome.

    Waiting on God's Strength ? Isaiah 40:27–31 (ESV) ? 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God"? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the ...read more
