Are You Living By Your Computer?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 2, 2018

God never intended for us to live by our souls, by our minds. He designed our new nature to lead us. But too many Christians are still yielding to their minds and not the life of God on the inside of them.

The title of the message this morning is “Are you living by your computer?” I’m not talking about your laptop. I’m not talking about your Dell. I’m not talking about your Mac. Turn to Genesis 1. Today we’re going to look at the first Adam and the last Adam. Jesus is the last Adam. He came to ...read more

It's My Turn Now

Contributed by Thomas Dibble on May 30, 2003

I want you to know that salvation only works when you know that nothing else can be done on your part. When we say God I can’t do it on my own I want you to take over in my life. Then He can bring about a lasting change in your life.

Contributed by Darrell Stetler Ii on Feb 8, 2004

It’s one thing to TALK about "real, built-to-last love". . . it’s one thing to say, "We’ve got that "no-matter-what" love. But what does REAL love look like in practical, everyday life? I Cor. 13:4 tells us. . . *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

Last week, we discussed the foundation of great, built-to-last relationships. It’s unselfish, unconditional love. But it’s one thing to talk about this love – but what does it look like in real life?

The Unfinished Work Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Howard Strickland on May 21, 2012

The book of Acts doesn’t end with any benediction nor closure. Listen to the last two verses. Acts 28:30-31NKJ Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, 31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the th

The Unfinished Work of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:1-4Amp The book of Acts is the only unfinished book of the Bible. The reason is this: “the Holy Spirit is still working to bring about the completion of the task assigned to Him on the day of Pentecost.” Acts 2:1-4AMP And when the day of ...read more

Applying God's Word Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Sep 7, 2009

In our last three messages in Nehemiah, we’ve seen what it takes to understand God’s Word the way He would have us to. The fact is, most of the time our problem isn’t understanding God’s Word. Most of the time our problem is applying all the things that w

We have spent the past few Sunday nights talking about what it takes to understand God’s Word. The first 12 verses of chapter 8 have given us one of the best examples in Scripture of God’s primary design in making His Word understood.

"Breakfast With Jesus"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Apr 14, 2010

Truth Or Consequences Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 22, 2012

Peter has just ended the last chapter saying that no prophecy (no real word of God) has ever come from man or his own understanding, but only the Holy Spirit. Even Jesus himself claimed that everything he said came from the Father. Now Peter says “BUT”… t

Be In The Know (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Feb 4, 2019

Last week I talked about how we need to realize how little we know. We might know a lot of information but what about spiritual things? God wants everyone to come to a knowledge of the truth. Then we need to grow in our knowledge. There are some things we need to have along with knowledge.

BE IN THE KNOW (part two) To be in the know means to be knowledgeable about something or to have access to information about something; especially if it's exclusive. It means to be aware or well-informed on a topic that's not widely known. The topic of Jesus is widely known but when it ...read more

Life As A Cog

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 27, 2015

Last week I mentioned that we’re not all God’s children; we’re all his creation but in order to become a child of God you need to be born-again. Today I’m going to expound on that and highlight some things that identify us as a COG-Child Of God.

Living In An Egg Shell

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jul 12, 2012

I have said many times that our life is so fragile, so delicate, that if it wasn't for the protection of our Lord we couldn't last very long in this flesh we live in. It's like living in an egg shell. Of course when we were young we thought we were invi

I'm Confident Of That (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 9, 2020

Last week I talked about the need to place our confidence in God and that we need to have a heart of confidence. This week I make the point that although we can't place our ultimate confidence in people, we can still have confidence in them. I finish with our need to persevere in confidence.

I'M CONFIDENT OF THAT (part two) Last week I started out by asking what are you basing your confidence in. We read the story of Sennacherib king of Assyria attacking Hezekiah king of Judah. Sennacherib was certain he would defeat the smaller army of Judah. He taunted them saying their god ...read more
