    WHEN THE STORM IS AT YOUR HOUSE I GOT FAITH, BUT WHEN IT GET’S TO MY HOUSE O YE OF LITTLE FAITH ’YA’LL KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

    Scripture says, “Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan” (Mark 1:9). Then Jesus spent the next forty day in the desert being tempted by Satan. Then he begins his ministry in Galilee. After John was put in prison, Jesus went about the country proclaiming “the ...read more

     | 20,664 views

    By the world's standards the men and women in Hebrews 11 were anything but successes but in God's eyes they succeeded. Based on their testimony, the opening of Hebrews 12 tells us what it will take for us to live successful Christian lives.

    Living a Successful Christian Life Hebrews 12:1-3 What comes to your mind when you hear the term "a successful Christian"? How you answer is dependent on your definition of success. Many consider success to be power, prosperity, and prestige. The most common definition of success given is ...read more

    The Offering On The Tent Of Meeting

    To show that our hands (through, in and by the LORD JESUS) was laid on the Offering: JESUS CHRIST and the LORD JESUS CHRIST blood sprinkled in our hearts.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you an offering? Yes. A living sacrifice before the LORD. Romans 12:1-2 (Amplified Bible) I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living ...read more

    Cross-Shaped Leadership

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Mar 12, 2026
     | 43 views

    This sermon explores cross-shaped leadership: a life surrendered upward to God and poured out horizontally in sacrificial love for others, where true authority is born not from power grasped, but from self given away.

    Cross-Shaped Leadership Mark 10:35-45 Let me start with a question that might make some of us squirm just a little: If James and John—the Sons of Thunder—were sitting in our pews today, what do you think we'd say about them? They come to Jesus and basically say, “Teacher, we want You ...read more

    What characterizes meaningful friendships?

    A small group of friends left town for a weekend of deer hunting, and they paired off in twos for the first day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. “How come you’re dragging that all by yourself?” one of his friends asked. “Where’s ...read more

    Breaking The Box

    Contributed by Mark Lindsey on Nov 20, 2025
     | 338 views

    This woman brought a precious ointment in an alabaster box. This expensive perfume was costly but she was willing to give it. It will always cost you something to truly worship the Lord. If your worship costs you nothing, then your worship is worth nothing.

    “BREAKING THE BOX” LUKE 7:36-50 Many times in the Bible when a certain woman is mentioned she is often symbolic of the church. In Luke 15, we have the woman who had ten coins and lost them. It is a picture of the church as she lights the light, cleans the house, and searches diligently for what is ...read more

    Seek God first and the things of God will find you! God isn’t intrested in being a part of our lives, He’s more intrested in becoming our life. Let examine why!

    Introduction Many view God as an ornament to be worn around the neck or hung from their car’s rearview mirror. Lately it seems fashionable and sheek to lay ones Bible in the rear window. God isn’t intrested in being a piece of jewelry nor just layed on the dash of our cars. He isn’t intrested in ...read more

    Christ will never abandon you, though your feelings may tell you otherwise, at times.

    John 10:11-18 THE GOOD SHEPHERD WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU This morning, I would like to describe someone to you, and I want you to tell me who this person is.

    A Reflection on John 10, in the African context

    The Maasai of East Africa are a very peculiar people. Very often they are known for raiding the neighbouring tribes to take possession of their cattle.

    Jesus called himself "The Good Shepherd." This message looks at proving that Only Jesus fills this role. He is "good" because He is God. He is the Shepherd, not just a shepherd.

    “THE GOOD SHEPERD” Over the past 6 weeks we have looked at the “I AM” statements of Christ. We have explored significant lessons Jesus gave as He made these descriptive statements about himself. “I AM” - He clearly used it to identify himself as God “I AM the way, the truth & the life” – In ...read more

    17th in long series on Joshua. This gets into prayer, and giving our burdens to God. Close tie-in with 1 Peter 5:7.

    Joshua 10:1-15 – Giving It Over I found a little poem by an anonymous author that sounds so familiar, it’s as if I could have written it. It says: “Lord, I’m so discouraged, I don’t know what to do; I have so many burdens, And I gave them all to you. But you didn’t take them, Jesus, will you ...read more
