    Friends In Low Places Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 13, 2024
     | 1,660 views

    Naaman lived because he reluctantly listened to people who were “beneath” him. He left Syria because of a captured slave who kindly told him where to find healing. He wanted to speak to Israel's king, but it was a prophet’s assistant who told him where to go for healing.

    As fall is here, our church family is examining the life of Elisha. Elisha shows us how to remain faithful during challenging times. Our God always leaves His light for us even in the most troubling of times. Elisha’s life is the story of God’s bright light in the darkest of skies. I invite you ...read more

    What Do You Do When The Lights Go Out?

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 1, 2024

    Are you experiencing a dark time in your life? Are you unable to make sense of what is happening? There are times in every Christians life when, despite our faithfulness, we’re suddenly plunged into deep, deep darkness. And we’re left asking the question – why? What do we do when the lights go out?

    Five-year old Johnny was in the kitchen as his mother made supper. She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. “It’s dark in there and I’m scared.” She asked again, and he persisted. Finally, she said, “It’s OK, go; Jesus will be in there ...read more

    Holy Spirit, Where Are You?

    There has been many times I have heard folks say, "I don't feel the Holy Spirits presences, it seems He has left me" Am I suppose to feel Him all the time?....If not, am I really saved?....Why don't I have that joy I used to have?

    Speaking to a large audience, D.L. Moody held up a glass and asked, "How can I get the air out of this glass?" One man shouted, "Suck it out with a pump!" Moody replied, "That would create a vacuum and shatter the glass." After numerous other suggestions Moody smiled, picked up a pitcher of water, ...read more

     | 6,636 views

    And when Jesus was on the Cross, He cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is to say, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” GOD HAD FORSAKEN JESUS!THAT WE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN!!! Where are you now? Are you hiding from God? Listen, not once did He left us.

    “But the Lord God called to Adam, and said to him, “Where are you?” Genesis 3:9 AMP I- QUESTION OF CONDITION: “Where Art Thou?” The first question of God in the Bible, not asking as if He doesn’t know what’s happening but one that He’s asking for reconciliation.... an unsatisfactory condition ...read more

    Love Like Jesus Loves

    Contributed by Larry Grant on May 30, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,136 views

    We can either spend our lives focused on the problems of life, or we can spend our time focusing on the Problem Solver. We can focus on what is wrong, or we can focus on the One who can make it right. Let's look at a Deacon and the legacy of love that he has left for us to remember.

    Acts 7:54-60 “Love like Jesus Loves” May 29, 2022 Intro: Beginning at Acts 6:8 through the close of this chapter, Luke records the ministry and martyr of Deacon Stephen. Stephen was one of the seven men chosen to be the first Deacons of the early church. He was a man filled with the ...read more

     | 7,466 views

    The call of God has been upon our life much before even we could comprehend our left hand from the right. That is the time when God had people in place who would take care to raise us up. How has your call played out? Do you see yourself facilitating ...

    Opening Illustration: A friend of mine by the name of Joseph who I met while teaching at a Catholic school. At that time he was climbing up the corporate ladder of the Catholic church which was grooming and raising him up to be a father and possibly a bishop or cardinal in the future.

     | 1,402 views

    What are you supposed to do when awful things happen that you can’t change? When life beats you up, God still has a plan and a purpose for every minute of your day. He hasn’t left you. He will lift you up if you let him. You can endure and be victorious!

    Sermon: Enduring the Storms of Life Text: Acts 27:20-44 “The terrible storm raged for many days, blotting out the sun and the stars, until at last all hope was gone. No one had eaten for a long time. Finally, Paul called the crew together and said, “Men, you should have listened to me in the first ...read more

    Hope: Cave Secrets

    Contributed by John Bishop on Mar 25, 2009
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,721 views

    God does His best work in caves. When we get to the end of ourselves and have no where to look but up, then God can whisper to us in the cave, "I’m still here. I haven’t left you." When we realize He is all we want, we find out He is all we really need.

    We’re going to be in the Book of First Samuel; if you have a Bible you can turn there, and we’ll get there at some point. I think that, when you’re talking about hope; the biggest problem with hope is, when we are going thru trouble, we don’t know how to kind of deal with it right? So, check it ...read more

    The Price Is Right

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Apr 30, 2025
     | 546 views

    If Jesus enters your heart this Sabbath morning because you have left the door even slightly ajar, please, please do not chase Him out when you leave church. Take Him home with you. Don’t force Christ to find other quarters because you refuse to pay the mere pittance He asks of you.

    THE PRICE IS RIGHT JAMES 1:19-27 #thepriceisright INTRODUCTION I should tell you that up front, the sermon that I will share with you this morning is NOT a sermon that I have written. I write all my own sermons each week, but this one is not mine. This one was written for Cold Spring and South ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 3 – Deviation From Sanctification – 1peter 3:15-16 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,661 views

    Even the smallest deviation will cause us to miss the mark. We are to sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts because God is holy. We must be holy as well. Do we know the bible well enough so that we can give an answer to all who ask about the hope that we have? Ours is a glorious hope.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 3 – DEVIATION FROM SANCTIFICATION – 1Peter 3:15-16 [A]. INTRODUCTION TO DEVIATION Deviation in one’s life is more highlighted, the more one is considered to be in an important position. So many love to pull others down. In Australia we have what is known as “the ...read more

    Why does God put such an emphasis on giving? He makes you promises of what He'll do if you give cheerfully and generously... but why would He do that?

    Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 19 – Judah Is Heading For Big Trouble - And Lying Prophets Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 29, 2024
     | 907 views

    Governments and rulers and institutions and people have turned away from God. Why is that we might wonder? Has the message been passed from one generation to another? Have the churches been faithful in relaying the gospel, or has Christianity become something infused into the culture?

    Can You Justify That? Series

    based on 12 ratings
     | 21,947 views

    Justification sounds like a $20 word that nobody would use outside of Church. But surprisingly the words justify and justification are interwoven into our culture and are used in ways that tell us a lot about what God did when He justified us.

     | 2,235 views

    This message looks more at the days of Noah, and the earth's violence and conditions then. Comparisons are made with Noah's times and that of the Tribulation. Jesus Christ is our Ark of salvation and safety. What is the meaning of the double pitching?

    NOAH PART 3 – THE DAYS OF NOAH - AND THE ARK IS SECURITY This is Part 3 of Noah. Part 1 looked at the account of the flood, the people and the ark. Part 2 looked at a worldwide or local flood. Part 3 will look at the days of Noah in the Tribulation and our world today, and the pitching of the ...read more
