    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 1, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,841 views

    God often works in layers, fulfilling His promises sometimes figuratively, then more literally, and then fully.

    Drawn to the Light (Isaiah 60) 1. Israel My Glory magazine documents how two journalists were treated in Paris and London when they walked around with a skull cap and prayer shawl. 2. Within 60- seconds, they were spit upon, cursed, threatened, people threw things at them, and they were told to ...read more

    Spiritual Eating Disorders

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,113 views

    Our media and our culture here in the United States has tried to fill our minds with pictures of what the ideal person should look like. This has led many to develop eating disorders, The same happens in a spiritual sense also.

    Eating is a popular thing to do. I like to do it. I do it at least 3 times daily (sometimes more). We all need food to be healthy in this life and to be able to have the energy and strength to serve and love God. The way we eat, or don't eat, shows how devoted we are to being healthy physically.

    The Wonders Of His Love Series

    Contributed by Dorothy Lam on Jan 11, 2023
     | 2,183 views

    How did Jesus coming as a baby mean that there would be peace on earth and goodwill for us? My journey through Advent has brought me back to the manger where God shows up in the flesh, where the God-Man is all potential, just lying there. It's an offer. It's an invitation.

    Babies change everything, or at least a lot of things change for a family when a baby is born. For mothers, a selfless devotion to her child kicks in. Life revolves around what the baby needs, not her own needs. New fathers find a place in their hearts that was not there before. A sense of pride ...read more

    Living the Christian life is so much more than what you do, it literally has nothing to do with the amount of money you sow, how many religious books you buy, which ministries you support it’s more than reading the bible, praying, and going to church.

    “What God Wants” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - I am sure you have seen TBN and the Word Network all the popular televangelists who preach to millions of people around the world.

    We’re going to talk about how to go deeper with your Bible reading time. We will not be talking about simply reading the Bible. We will be talking about absorbing the Bible. Making the Bible part of your mind. Putting the Bible in your heart and letting it change your heart.

    “The Bible- banned, burned, beloved. More widely read, more frequently attacked than any other book in history. Generations of intellectuals have attempted to discredit it; dictators of every age have outlawed it and executed those who read it. Yet soldiers carry it into battle believing it is more ...read more

    Disciples Of Jesus Are Guided By God's Word Series

     | 5,018 views

    It is not possible for us to be faithful disciples of Jesus who make disciples with the Bible playing a proper role in our lives. The lordship of Jesus is exercised when we carefully follow the teachings of the Bible, and we can't follow what we don't know.

    A. One day many years ago, a boy walked down the beach, and as he did, he spotted a woman sitting under a beach umbrella. 1. The boy walked up to her and asked, “Are you a Christian?” “Yes,” she replied. 2. Then the boy asked, “Do you read your Bible every day?” She nodded her head, ...read more

     | 3,215 views

    A careful and self-aware reading of Scripture demonstrates that God uses men and women equally in the body of Christ. He equips and empowers for His glory. We are better off if we don't resist His hand of grace.

    May 2022 Sermon - Women in the Church - Acts 2:16-21; Galatians 3:26-29 Today we are beginning a short series on an issue that is very close to my heart.
