Find Your Strength

Contributed by Delishia Davis on Mar 30, 2016

Unity In The Community

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on May 3, 2018

Save Me Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

The world’s money says, “Keep me for yourself.” God’s money says, “Save me for a purpose.” We need to find the balance between saving wisely and hoarding, focusing on honoring God with our money.

Today, we're going to talk about money! But before we dive in, let's do a little object lesson. I want you all to imagine you've just won a million dollars. What's the first thing you'd do? Buy a new car? A house for your parents? Or maybe you'd save it all? Imagine you've just won a million ...read more

Love Is Patient

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 6, 2025

Running Your Race

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 25, 2025

“Running Your Race” calls believers to reject comparison and discouragement, embrace their God-given lane with faithfulness and joy, and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus—the One who empowers, sustains, and rewards every step of the journey.

Running Your Race I remember the first time I attended a large Christian conference. Though we all shared a love for the Lord and His Word, this “unknown” attendee quietly wondered if anyone could see past the mask of confidence—past the polished smiles and ministry talk—to the ...read more

Humility, Repentance And An Increase Of The Anointing

Contributed by Brett Crosson on May 1, 2019

IT’s TRUE: We MUST keep the main thing the main thing. Walking humbly before God in contrition of heart over our sins and that of our nation ought to be one of these main things. Or else we get caught up in hyper grace, knowing truth but never being set free.

Walking in humility, repentance and a greater anointing Humility is a key to seeing God move and for Him increase you in the anointing. Biblically speaking, Humility has a lot to do with fasting and vise-versa. Fasting had to do with mourning. Jesus was asked: why don’t your disciples fast. He ...read more
