Open My Eyes, Lord

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 24, 2024

Watching & praying are often associated in the Bible. Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, asked his Disciples to watch & pray with him as he prayed in the Garden at Gethsemane. I think Jesus was asking them more than simply to stay awake & pray.

Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Dec 19, 2001

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. In a society that embraces sin, how do we keep clean?

Additional Recommended Scripture Reading: Psalm 51 We live in a generation today that embraces sin all over the place.

Daniel: Sold Out To The Lord

So, over the summer months, I would like us to ...read more

Lord, Teach Us To Pray Series

Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 10, 2023

The disciples spent an amazing amount of time with Jesus and would have had many opportunities for them to ask him to teach them something. And of all the amazing things they could have asked Jesus to teach them, only one thing is recorded: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1).

Imagine with me for a moment that you’re one of Jesus’ disciples. You’ve been following him around for a little while now and you’ve seen him do some pretty incredible things…you’ve seen him heal crippled people, you’ve seen him cast out demons, you even saw him speak life into a dead guy. You’ve ...read more

Contributed by Todd Pugh on Jan 14, 2008

A sobering looking at the times in Scripture God "commands the blessing" God calls us to unity, obedience to Him and to not wrong another. This sermon is a call to work against abortion. If the Church will do this, God commands His blessing.

What Is The Lord Saying To The Church?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 21, 2012

Using Revelation 2 and 3 as a spring-board, this is the talk given at our Church annual meeting 2012. I believe the Lord is calling us to return to him as our first love, and to listen to his voice through the Bible and in prayer.

[A note to the reader: This is not an expository sermon. I was asking the Lord what was his message for our 2012 church annual meeting, and Revelation 2 and 3 seemed to be the answer. What follows is a local attempt to interpret these chapters to our situation] What is the Lord saying to His ...read more
