    Finding God's Strength

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014
     | 6,961 views

    Everyone seems to believe that wealth will make them happy. In this passage we read of a man who had it all yet he walked away from God because he had so much.

    Finding God’s Strength Matthew 5:5 and 11:28-30 The setting for the message this morning is found in one of the highlights of the ministry of Jesus. His ministry had its share of highs and lows but this was definitely one of his finer moments. In the background, Jesus had just gone through ...read more

    Divided Church Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,280 views

    This was the first problem Paul dealt with in his letter to the Corinthians because a divided church won’t last long.

    The church at Corinth was in a sad state. The fellowship of the church was about to collapse. Listen to some of the things that were occurring and see if they sound familiar: verbal accusations, differing opinions, competitive positions, power struggles, envy contention, grumbling, griping, ...read more

    How we have been Commanded to love God as well as our neighbor and how we can only perfect this love through Jesus Christ within us

    Last week we started a series called “How to improve your Love life” our scripture was 1st Corinthians 13 and we talked about what love isn’t and what love is. So why do we need to improve our love life? I believe the way we love goes hand in hand with our salvation. Lets look ...read more

    The Old Testament view of the cross of Jesus.

    The cross of Christ in the Old Testament. Today we shall look into biblical typology and see how the scriptures pictured Christ and the cross in the Old Testament. What is typology?

    Ask For Rain

    based on 24 ratings
     | 55,305 views

    There has been a shift in the Spiritual climate in this country: How we respond to it will determine whether we usher in the greatest revival since the book of acts or we lose our nation to a murderous perverse antichrist spirit. (This is serious)

    TEXT ASK FOR RAIN ZECHARIAH 10:1-10 Sometimes God speaks things to us that don't make any sense, sometimes they just seem to be out of order. This text is an example of that: God says ask for rain in the time of the latter rain, now to my natural mind that doesn't ...read more

    After one gains entrance to the church through the Door of Opportunity, what is expected next? Every believer is gifted to serve within the church, for the edifying of the body and the glory of God. We must be united and work together to fulfill the work.

    The Necessity of Unity Ephesians 4: 11-16 Last week we began the series: Church – A New Testament Model. We looked at the means of entrance into the church through Christ the Door. This opportunity is available by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Once entry into the church, ...read more

    Stop The Killing Spree!

     | 8,190 views

    Killing sprees shock us with their cruelty to human life. Yet, how often do we engage in our own killing sprees, mentally murdering those with whom we are angry. Jesus calls us to stop it, and to bend over backwards to make things right with others.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Stop the Killing Spree! William Boyette, suspected of killing four women in two states, died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police standoff at a Georgia motel. Police arrested Mary Rice, his accomplice. As appalling as their little Bonnie and Clyde killing ...read more

    Finishing A Race With Our Heads Held High

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 20, 2017
     | 5,553 views

    Say this, “Preparation is the key.” An admirer of a famous person said, “So how did you become so successful?” The famous person replied, “About 40 years of training and staying committed.” ( Faithfulness and fruitfulness are synonymous.)

    Finishing A Race With Our Heads Held High Philippians 3:12-14NKJB Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one ...read more

    The Antioch church under the leadership that Barnabas provided had grown to the point that it was obvious that Barnabas needed a helper. One man immediately came to mind, his friend Saul of Tarsus (Paul).

    Which Christ Do You Follow? Part 1

    Contributed by James Lee on Nov 10, 2014
     | 3,343 views

    The problem is, however, that too many Christians are walking around with blinders on or those rose colored glasses that cause everything to look like Christ and they refuse to look at reality.

    Repeat the sermon title. Now let’s think about this before we answer. Your answer may be simply; “There ain’t but one ya big dummy! And that’s the one I foller!” But are you sure? If you really look around, you’ll see; if you will but open your eyes you’ll ...read more
