    A sermon on the provision of God.

    BRING WHAT YOU GOT The proper title for this sermon should be “Bring what you got, and bring plenty of it. Don’t hold anything back, but bring it all to the Lord.” We are so guilty of believing that we cannot do many things because we just don’t know how, or we just don’t have enough of ...read more

    Failure Is Temporary

     | 18,776 views

    Failure is temporary; giving up is what makes it permanent. God never gives up on us, so why should we give up on ourselves?

    Failure is Temporary How many of you here remember the first time you tried to ride a bike? Did any of you hop right on and just take off without falling down, skinning up your knees, or worse? Probably not. You probably fell off your bike many, many times before you got the hang ...read more

God is often called a rock in the Old Testament, eg. Isaiah says “There is no rock like our God” (2:2). It’s also a Messianic title. We see in ...read more

    Epiphany 4: Through Jesus’ ministry on earth, we get glimpses of his true identity. We find comfort and peace knowing that Jesus is God among us.

    Let me ask you the two most important questions that you will ever consider: “Who is Jesus of Nazareth?” and “What does his identity mean to you?” I want us to consider these two questions from the ’Epiphany perspective.’ As Jesus continues to reveal and manifest his identity during this Epiphany ...read more

     | 8,928 views

    God took extreme measures to provide a healing for us. Shouldn’t we do the same for others?

    Extreme Measures Last week we looked at the lengths people will go for a healing. Naaman went to a prophet in a foreign land. The leper disregarded the law of the Old Testament to call out to Jesus for a healing. This morning we’re going to look at more extreme measures that ...read more

     | 4,835 views

    Faith, the foundation of obedience to God, has a rich history of dynamic characters. Today’s challenge is to hold on to the object and content of Christian faith.

    Heroes of Faith: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets. Hebrews 11 is a sort of survey of Old Testament faith leaders. The names that receive the most attention are Abraham and Moses. The central ...read more

    based on 50 ratings
     | 7,125 views

    Epiphany 7: No is a difficult word for us to hear and even harder to accept. But through Jesus, God came to say, "Yes" - Yes to forgiveness, peace and to the heavenly Kingdom for all who trust in the Cross and Resurrection.

    The words in our second lesson were written by St. Paul to the Corinthian believers. Let me read this lesson to you again using the New International Version of the Bible: 18 But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.” 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was ...read more
