    Keeping our life pure is done by keeping our life in line with God’s Word. Keeping our life pure or right is accomplished by hiding God’s Word in our heart.

    Matters of the Heart PSALM 119: 9-11 THE PURE HEART [Job 22:22] The main point or argument of Psalm 119 is that a faithful man should stir up himself to meditate on God’s word so that he might establish himself in the Lord.

    The phrase He that hath an ear let him hear appears 14 times in the Bible this is interesting because the number 14 is considered to be a symbol of salvation and deliverance. The 14th day of the 1st Hebrew month called Nisan is the Passover.

    Hearing God’s Voice By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer Jr. OPENING:- I want to start this message out by telling two brief stories. The first is:- There once was a man that whispered, “God, speak to me.” And a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear. So the man yelled, “God, speak to me!” and ...read more

    Mission Possible

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 24, 2023
     | 2,483 views

    Peter could only do the impossible as long as he focused on Jesus instead of on his surroundings.

    As sometimes happens, this sermon took a turn I had not expected once I really got into it. Not a very big one, mind you, but I would up focusing on the gospel lesson instead of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I do like, when I can, to tie the three lessons together, and these three seemed to be ...read more

    The thought and desire to be a difference-maker is hardwired into us by our Creator. God wants us to make a difference wherever we are. That’s why, when we do, there is such a huge payoff.

    Hey, have you ever just kind of stopped and thought or had the thought go through your mind...I wonder if my life really makes a difference? I wonder if what I do really matters. You know, usually it’s on a birthday that we have those thoughts, isn’t it? Like when you turn the big 3-0, or 4-0, or ...read more

    Who Do You Trust In?

     | 7,342 views

    We always look for ways to change the outcome, but only God knows the best path for us. Trusting God through life and dealing with circumstances may be difficult, but the promise is STILL salvation in Christ!

    Who do you Trust? Acts 27:12-44 Introduction We are called to have a common purpose in what we do -- The purpose is to worship, to love, and to celebrate Christ and share Him always -- That is our challenge, mission, and it is STILL where we find ourselves today LAST TIME: Our ...read more

    This morning we gather, once again, to give thanks for all that God has provided us. We thank Him for all that we have and all we are yet to be given. We thank Him for our family; our friends; our livelihood and all our possessions. Today, along with our thanks to God, we give our gratitude to all ...read more

    We can guard against sin if we engage God in our lives, focus on things above with His word in our thoughts, hearts, and actions, and stay in constant prayer, confessing our sins to Him.

    Obeying God Is Not About The Rules

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Mar 10, 2014
     | 4,816 views

    This isn't about keeping a bunch of rules. We obey Jesus because we love our Heavenly Father, and we know it's not easy. We need each other, because we don't always succeed, sometimes we fail, we give in to our selfish nature, we don't always make the sacrifice.

    When we talk about obeying God we're not talking about rule keeping. When you play a game, there are rules to the game. We don't play a lot of games in our family because we argue a lot about the rules. Does anyone else do this? I can't tell you how many times we've played a game that we ...read more
