     | 6,515 views

    James is encouraging his readers to pray. In fact, James’ concluding remarks consistently take the reader back to the need to pray. The first thing we should do is frequently the last thing done.

    JAMES 5:13, 14 LIFE HAPPENS “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” James is drawing his brief, ...read more

Service Text: John 11:20-25 (1-44) Key verse: John 11:25 - Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: Premise: People search and search for significance and ...read more

    In this text, in a sense, we see the destiny of every Christian. 1- The destiny of spreading the gospel 2- The destiny of encouraging others 3- The destiny of experiencing trials

    INTRO.- What’s your destiny in life? Did you know when you graduated from high school what your destiny was? What you would become? And where you would be now? You may have had an idea you would live in Arkansas, but did you know what you’d do for a living? And if you’d follow the faith in ...read more

    Paul’s caution to the church about not judging...why we must not ignore that!

    1Welcome those who are weak in faith, but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions. 2Some believe in eating anything, while the weak eat only vegetables. 3Those who eat must not despise those who abstain, and those who abstain must not pass judgment on those who eat; for God has welcomed ...read more

    One Life – June 29, 2008 Do you believe you were born for such a time as this? Look what’s happening in our world today… It’s hard to believe that 2008 is already half over.

    Life Quest

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jun 2, 2011
     | 3,144 views

    Our LIFE QUEST is one of building lives of obedience (MSG, 2Cor 10:6). Many of us have learned that the more obedient we are to God’s authority the more we grow like Him, the closer we get to Him and the better life is because of Him.

    LIFE QUEST Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, MSG Text: Verse 6 – “Building lives of obedience into maturity” (All other references are quoted from NASB unless otherwise stated) A boy had been disobedient.

    The bread God provides for us can’t be acquired at a drive-up window, or purchased in bulk from Costco to stockpile in your freezer. In fact, it isn’t only food: it’s all of our needs, and we need to look to him daily to provide.

    How many of you have ever used those Pillsbury refrigerated dough products? Dinner rolls or biscuits or croissants? The ones where you peel off the paper and then rap the cylinder smartly on the corner of the counter and it bursts open? They’re really popular because you can make so many things ...read more

    The Emotional Life

    Contributed by Dave Workman on Apr 26, 2011
     | 10,101 views

    So oftentimes, emotions function like the lights on our dashboard. When the engine light comes on, something needs to be paid attention to.

    Today I want to talk about our emotional life. Maybe this is an area for you that seems out-of-control for you. Or perhaps the opposite: you feel a bit dead, almost feeling-less. Recently Time magazine even ran an article about how to handle your emotions during tough economic times. I’m ...read more

    The Way of Life Easter Sunday, Apr 24, 2011 Intro: Who would ever have dreamt that the place to find life was at a tomb? A tomb is not a place of life, it is a place of death.

    Life is like many different things that we experience in this world.

    INTRO.- One thing we all know is that life is not easy. There are hills and valleys. There are good days and bad. There are positives and negatives. There are ding bats and ding dongs who get in our way in life. There are saints and ain’ts who enter our lives for good or evil. There are good ...read more

    Some save their lives only to lose it. Others lose their lives to save it. What a paradoxical message. Yet Jesus said it was necessary.

    Thorns Of Life

    based on 26 ratings
     | 36,371 views

    There are different kinds of vessels in the house of God. So you will do well to examine what kind of vessel you are. Let me clear one thing before we go deeper into this message: God will not accept any excuse from anyone for not being a useful vessel.

    Our message this week, is what I call “The thorns of life.” Genesis 3:17-19 says, “And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee saying, thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy ...read more
