     | 2,206 views

    Jesus taught us is to challenge us and to encourage us.

    The Blessed People Today, let's meditate on the gospel according to Matthew, chapter 5. The sermon that Jesus delivers is affectionately called the sermon on the mount.

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 26, 2025
     | 1,333 views

    We frequently look in other directions to try to see spiritual transformation for our churches. Our only hope is a move of the Spirit, who can bring the dead to life.

    DRY BONES: There are moments that seem hopeless. - Ezekiel 37:1-3a. - The immediate context here is the life of Israel. Things had become hopeless for them. - Their disobedience had led them to a place of despair and defeat. As they looked at their ability to stand up to their enemies, the army ...read more

    The Power Of Praise Series

     | 26,408 views

    Praise is making much of what God has done, and isn’t always done with the heart. But worship is about who God is, and cannot be done without the heart.

    Encountering God – Part IV: “The Power of Praise” Review What is worship? It is the meeting of God’s heart and ours. Worship is the response of all we are to who God is and what He has done. Last week I spoke about the “glory” of God, which is intrusion of God’s presence into our physical ...read more

    The Golden rule is accepted in some way into every "religion" of the world, but only TRUE Followers of Christ are able to understand how "the Golden Rule" it is achieved.

    The Golden Rule Matthew 7:7-12 We have been studying Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and ended with Matthew 7:6: "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,804 views

    Beautiful harmony is not easy in music. Only the right combinations of notes are pleasing to the ear. The wrong combination is discordant noise. Beautiful harmony is not easy in the church either, and yet we are called to live in harmony with one another.

    Live in Harmony with One Another Romans 12:16 “Live in harmony with one another.” There are certain sounds in music, sounds necessary to make all but the most basic music, these sounds cannot be made by playing any single note. They can only be made when multiple notes or chords are ...read more

    The events of the interlude between the sixth and seventh trumpets teach us about proper worship and guide us as witnesses for Jesus.

    This message is intended to explain the great offense shown in ignoring both the invitation to the Feast and the refusal to wear the proper wedding Garment, which is a reflection of Christ's Righteousness.

    The parable which began Matthew 22, our Gospel lesson this morning, is a parable that can really bug people. It’s shocking and disturbing and I have found over the years that people complain about it because of how harsh it is. It also serves as a good way for us to better understand how to ...read more
