    Gracious Living Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Oct 1, 2015
     | 7,082 views

    We must be more concerned with showing the generous love of God than with receiving proper treatment from others.

    Gracious Living Matthew 5:38-42 38 "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have ...read more

    There is no time with God, because He's all about "NOW". Are you living in God's NOW or are you living in your time zone.

    (Built large letters saying "NOW". The "O" was a clock) ("Now" series can been seen on www.gwafamily.com) How many of you are wearing watches today?

    Jesus is telling all that He is about to fulfill the prophecy of Ezekiel.

    Saturday of the Fourth Week in Lent 2024 So what words were those that convinced a number of Christ’s listeners that He was (and is) the prophet foretold by Moses and so many other of the early prophets? Our lectionary is not very helpful there, so we go right to chapter 7 of St. John’s Gospel and ...read more

    This is not a PC sermon. There comes a point in the lives of believers when we must speak what God speaks regardless of the consequences. Micaiah did exactly that. He is a hero to us and an example to follow.

    Living In The Kingdom 10 Series

     | 1,952 views

    In Part 10 of this series we examine what Jesus said about making an oath. In this message we see that as a Christian our word should be our bond - it should be proof enough of our intention or past actions. We should never have to make an oath to ensure someone believes what we are saying.

    Living in the Kingdom 10 Scripture: Matthew 5:33-37; 23:16-18; Leviticus 19:12; Exodus 20:7 As I have been studying, meditating and preparing these messages based on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, I have been reflecting on conversations that I have had with people about the Bible and its ...read more

    We’re not victorious in our Christian life because we aren’t THIRSTY for the Holy Spirit to do His work in us. God will pour out His Spirit on those who are THIRSTY for Him.

    This message is part of a series entitled "Walking in the Spirit." Though Christians believe in the Holy Spirit, many do not understand how to walk daily in the Spirit nor the blessing God grants to those who do.

    Galatians 5:16-18 LIVE BY THE SPIRIT Romans 7:14- 8:4 What principle should one follow to live the Christian life?

    Our text explores the multifaceted grace of God, detailing how it brings salvation, instructs us in righteous living, and instills hope.

    The story begins with preacher Dwight L. Moody, who dedicated himself to studying the topic of grace. After three days of intense study, Moody was so filled with the subject that he couldn't contain himself and went out to share it with a stranger on the street. This encounter highlights the ...read more

     | 6,986 views

    When God created us, he gave us freedom of choice. We can choose to believe in him or not. To sin or not. There is no gray area. To live in sin is to be a slave to sin. We are free to choose between two masters, but we are not free to manipulate the c

    Live As Aliens 1)Because God is an impartial judge; 2) Because Christ has redeemed us with his blood

    Have you ever seen an alien? I don’t mean on T.V. or in the movies, I mean a real red-blooded (or is it green-blooded?) alien. Have you ever seen one? I have. In fact I’m looking at a bunch right now! Christians are aliens. At least that’s what the Apostle Peter tells us this morning. He says that ...read more

    What is sin? God calls us away from a life of sin and darkness but instead to live in the light, as He is in the light.

    This week I wanted to start off briefly answering the question, why study the Bible? I know that my style of teaching is a little different than what some of you may be used to so I wanted to help you see where I am coming from. 2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful ...read more
