     | 1,005 views

    Have you ever had a moment where God felt silent? A moment where prayers seemed to echo into nothingness? You searched for His presence, but He felt distant? If that’s you today, you are not alone. The Bible is full of people who loved God deeply yet endured seasons of divine silence.

    Go! And Trust Him When You Can’t See Him - Job 23:8-10 Job 23:8-10 (NLT): "I go east, but he is not there. I go west, but I cannot find him. I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden. I look to the south, but he is concealed. But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will ...read more

    Living In Babylon: The Writing On The Wall Series

     | 3,694 views

    Our Christian faith and commitment to the Church and our time spent in the Bible has been weighed and is found wanting. When we find our commitment and loyalty to Christ divided, we fall. Its all ‘writing on the wall.’

    FAITH FOR EXILES: LIVING IN BABYLON THE WRITING ON THE WALL DANIEL 5:1-31 INTRODUCTION WITH READING THE PASSAGE I would like to begin this morning by reading Daniel 5. It is quite a lot of verses, so I don’t want you to get distracted or bored or lost, but let’s focus well as we read these ...read more

    Celebrating Birthdays

    To show that unbelievers even in their birthdays, that they should be pleasing the LORD instead of themselves are clearly, pleasing, fascinating and enjoying themselves and not the LORD GOD who gave them their lives.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you pleasing the LORD? Yes. all by faith. Hebrews 11:6 Hebrews 11:6 (Amplified Bible) But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who ...read more

    Many times we are attacked. We see 5 characteristics about Daniel that, when the lions came to eat him, were the things responsible for keeping him from being devoured.

    LIVING IN A LION’S DEN WITHOUT BEING EATEN Dan. 6:1-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HELPING OUT 1. We all love it when other drivers blow their horns at us. It can really test your Christianity! I remember the story of… 2. Sandra, while out driving her car, stopped to obey a red light ...read more

     | 6,560 views

    As a believer in CHRIST JESUS, having been sealed by HIS SPIRIT within us, we know our future. So, we should live our lives with expectation, as ready to meet and greet HIM, ready and together as one BODY. But we must see the difference, know the difference of what it is to “be holy”.

    Here is the message no one wants to hear: Believers who live their lives doing whatever they please are essentially pagans.

    Major News from Minor Prophets Amos: Preaching a message no one wants to hear Amos came from the Southern Kingdom of Judah.

    The Gift That Keeps On Giving For Living A Supernatural Life

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 21, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,592 views

    When a person chooses to give their life to Jesus and receive Him as their personal Lord and Savior, they are re-born and become alive to another realm that is supernatural.

    Jesus is the greatest gift ever given. Through the gift of the Savior, every person on this planet has the freedom of choice to receive God’s gift of salvation. Salvation makes a person “complete” in Christ (Colossians 2:10). All that the Father is, Jesus is. "All the fullness of the Godhead ...read more

    Too many things can take us from our faith. God is Knocking but how long will we still be able to hear him.

    There is an old sermon illustration that goes with this morning’s scripture. A pastor decides to visit one of his parishioners on his way into the church one morning. He had wanted to visit for some time but schedule problems and life seemed to keep it from happening. But this morning as he ...read more

    This sermon challenges us to do something for God because all that He has done for us.

    What have you done for HIM lately? James 2:14-17 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?

    God answers this question Himself.

    The story of how God worked with and through Gideon is one of the most remarkable in scripture. Yet often overlooked is the honest way Gideon questioned God and God’s encouraging response to him.

    Let Us Test Him With Insult And Torture

    With every pound of the nail, the leprosy of our sins disappeared. With every drop of his blood our spirits became whiter and cleaner and brighter. When He walked away from the empty tomb we were spiritually new creations with hearts and souls as pure and clean as the day that we were born, amen?
