    Time To Engage: "Building A Spiritual Life”

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 5, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,268 views

    Without the fullness of the Holy Spirit operating in our lives, all steps and principles of discipleship won’t work, because we’re trying to put into practice spiritual principles through natural understanding. Therefore, it’s only logical to build our spiritual lives.

    In this world you will have trouble. But if we know God and understand His love for us, we can have peace in Christ and take heart during trying times.

    How to Take Heart in Trying Times Text: John 16:25-33 Well, this morning, we’re returning to our study of John’s Gospel, and just to remind you all of what where we were… Let me give you a quick re-cap.

    Time To Engage: "Prioritize To Jesus"

     | 1,158 views

    Making Jesus our priority means that we’re putting Him first on our list. If our priority is Jesus, where we prioritize our lives to Him, then everything else falls into place. And to make Jesus our priority, we need to look to Jesus’s life and see what He prioritized.

    Sermon # 42 - Time To Rise Up Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 17, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 819 views

    Jonah was seated in the wrong place waiting for God to pour out His wrath on the city of Nineveh. There were many others in the Bible who were in the wrong place like Jonah. If we are in such a place, God reminds us to rise up and go, to fulfill His purposes for our lives.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to the city of Nineveh with a message. When Jonah preached, the people of Nineveh received the ...read more

    Third Sunday In Ordinary Time - 2025

     | 524 views

    This morning, I thought we might make a visit to the doctor, the Great Physician himself and in doing so I want us all to think about how we are when He ask, “How are you”?

    Good morning. It is a pleasure to be with you this morning and how are you? “Good morning – how are you?”. This is a very common greeting and more often than not the answer is, “fine and you”? We will often respond this way even if the answer is not even close to being true. For example, once ...read more

     | 1,232 views

    In the midst of a serious storm, Jonah was blissfully asleep unaware of the predicament of his fellow passengers caused by his disobedience. Is it possible that the church too is asleep at a time when we have to wake up to fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus gave us?

    We read in Jonah 1:5, “And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.” (Darby) This is the ...read more

    Work as diligently as possible for Christ while you wait for His appearing. Be willing to die for Christ in a world that will increasingly hate Christians, oppose you, and attempt to eliminate all those who are faithful to God.

    A. THE TOP TEN BEST OF OUR TIMES 1. More people to reach for Christ. “Most assuredly, I say to you ... the works that I [Jesus] do He [Holy Spirit] will do also; and greater [works] than these He will do, because I go to My Father” (John 14:12). 2.

     | 473 views

    Asaph verbalize a question that many righteous people wanted to ask, “Why God allows the rich to flourish while the righteous often suffer?” Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do good things happen to bad people? God is still in control!

    Sermon: Finding Stability In Times of Confusion Scripture: Psalms 73:1-28, “Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
