    Part 6 in a series on exploring "Faith". This message focuses on Peter and John going to worship and seeing (and seizing) the opportunity to share Jesus with a man who needed so much more than just material goods. It is in this act, that we should see o

    Faith in Action, Part 1 (Part 6) Acts 3:1-10 - When it comes to our faith, the most difficult thing often is putting it into action - What the Lord calls us to do is to act; to respond; to move – no matter the cause - Perhaps the most difficult is to respond to His calling; to move when ...read more

    A stranger may be an unlikely friend waiting to be made or they may be an opportunity to worship God as you show hospitality to them. Christ has loved us and in response we are to love others. God’s love knows no borders. We are to love others the way t

    If the opportunity is the result of another’s disobedience, allow your obedience to take you to another level in Him! Remember that your obedience is connected to so many other people’s destinies! Prepare yourself to come into The King’s presence.

    The Power Of Jesus Name

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018
     | 10,117 views

    Miracles happen every day but all too often Jesus is not credited with them. It is time we took the offensive in our battle of faith and openly use the name of Jesus with every opportunity. Do you believe that by Jesus name miracles can and do occur?

    The Power of Jesus Name Acts 3:1-10 Message: Jesus is the most powerful name in all Eternity. Philippians 2:10 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, Jesus name was chosen by God the Father.

    The late Steve McQueen sought an opportunity to speak with Billy Graham about his struggle that God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ. Nicodemus had a similar meeting when he spoke with Jesus about being born again.

    God gives people time to respond to Him. And that’s why we are still here. He doesn’t just zap us out of existence. Even the plagues showed God’s patience in giving Pharaoh opportunity to change his mind.

    Exodus 9 - What does it take for the Lord to get your attention? In Exodus 9, Moses goes to Pharaoh again and says "Thus says the Lord, let My people go!" Pharaoh says "no!" and three more plagues come to Egypt, just as Moses predicts. Even though Egypt’s livestock die, and the people develop ...read more

    Theme for coming year: 15 Be very careful, then, how you live-- not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. (Ephesians 5:15-17).

    A Fresh Start! Back in the 1960’s experts predicted that by the turn of the century technology would have taken over so much of the work we do that the average American work week would be only 22 hours long, & that we would work only 27 weeks a year. As a result, one of our biggest problems ...read more

    One Day At A Time

     | 6,267 views

    We often feel that we can’t be happy until we are in the “perfect place,” or God’s “perfect will.” If we wait around for the perfect moment, then we could miss those truly perfect opportunities. The perfect moment to serve is right now.

    I have entitled our message for this morning “One Day at a Time.” What I am going to share has to do with understanding God’s will for our life, and this is a subject matter that concerns each of us as believers. Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God, says that all you have to do find ...read more

     | 3,442 views

    In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, we discover that our weaknesses are not hindrances but opportunities for God's grace and power to shine. Let us embrace our vulnerabilities, boast in our weaknesses, find joy in adversity, and become sources of comfort to others.

    "Strength in Weakness: Embracing God's Grace" Introduction: Today, we delve into a profound message found in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NLT): "Each time he said, 'My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.' So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,795 views

    The flooding of the earth had accomplished its purpose. Noah and his family exited the Ark to witness the chaotic effects and consequences that the world's disobedience brought upon itself. This was a new opportunity for man to renew their relationship with God. Sadly, it did not last long.

    The Ark had kept Noah, his family, and the animals on board safe for over a year as the flood waters receded around the world, forever changing the geography, atmosphere, relations with the animal kingdom, and the life span of Noah's sons and wives, all commissioned by God to repopulate the ...read more

     | 1,131 views

    This is a message for anyone who feels like their failure has disqualified them from God’s plans. Through Peter’s story, we see that failure is not the end; it’s an opportunity for God to show His grace and call us into greater purpose.

    Expository Sermon: Restored to Lead Key Text: John 21:17 – “He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?’ Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’ And he said to Him, ‘Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.’ Jesus said to him, ...read more
