     | 4,287 views

    Maybe Christmas hasn't been a merry time for you in the past. The good news is this: if your Christmas has lost its merry, you can do something about it.

    Has Your Christmas Lost Its Merry? Luke 12:15-21 Introduction: 1. Do we have any Christmas scrooges in here today? Many people are scrooges because Christmas has become so associated with material possessions, money, shopping, debt, the economy, etc. Many businesses make it or break it based on ...read more

    What Is Failure? Success?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 16, 2014
     | 3,496 views

    Come let us consider what is failure? You can fail and still succeed. Failure is refusing to get up and try again.

    WHAT IS FAILURE? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; I.

    A Storehouse Of Treasure Series

     | 5,127 views

    In this message we are considering how God blesses us with abundance in order to reveal our inner character.

    Last week we discovered that the most expensive piece of property on the planet was the cemetery because it was the place where unrealized dreams, unsung songs, unwritten books, unbuilt churches, etc, resided. As we considered the actions of the man who sold everything in order to purchase a piece ...read more

    God came down to earth as a helpless, tiny baby

    Luke 12:1-20 This week we are not going to add additional characters to the crèche, but talk about what the Christmas story really means – to us and to the world. The story of Christmas begins, not with the manger of Bethlehem, but many thousands, perhaps millions of years before, in the ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Be Successful? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 25, 2019
     | 3,975 views

    The dictionary has definitions of success and successful. Being successful in this life is no guarantee one will be successful in the next life!

    Preface: The dictionary has a few definitions of success, mostly with the idea of accomplishing something or acquiring something (you either do something or get something you want to do). Jesus has been engaged in teaching and conversation with others (see chapter 11 and 12:1-12) but some of the ...read more

    Live For Today And Die Forever

    Sounds pretty harsh, right? Jesus said the very same thing on four different occasions and it is recorded six different times in the Gospels. What can we do about it?

    Live For Today and Die Forever Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) … 1 ...read more

    Don’t give yourself over to unusual appetites, but live modestly, don’t give yourself over to fleeting success stories, live by what has been proven to you through your scriptural upbringing.

    Don’t—For Your Own Good Proverbs 23:1-18NLT “Don’t give yourself over to unusual appetites, but live modestly, don’t give yourself over to fleeting success stories, live by what has been proven to you through your scriptural upbringing.” P.H Proverbs 23:1-3NLT While dining with a ruler, pay ...read more

     | 2,711 views

    We live in a society pulverized by wrong priorities, crushed by debt, and pinned down by materialism, thus blocking our vision causing us to miss the life God has so graciously given. Today’s parable looks at where we’re investing our future.

    At the beginning put yourself all alone at night... Powerful message. Helped, and saved many.

    The Heaven Scenario. 1 Corinthians 2:9NKJV Listen, listen. It was late I was sitting around the dying embers of the campfire when I heard a noise.

    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more

    Selling Out To God Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,580 views

    Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

    Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

     | 2,657 views

    Rabbi Abraham Joshua Herschel wrote: “Much of the Bible’s demands can be comprised in one word … Remember” … which is why God commanded us to set up special days and special celebrations and activities … to “remember.”

    “Mah nishtanah ha-lailah hazeh mikol ha-leilot?” Recognize it? If you were Jewish you would recognize it instantly.

    From the standpoint of material wealth, Americans have difficulty realizing how rich we are.

    "From the standpoint of material wealth, Americans have difficulty realizing how rich we are. Going through a little mental exercise suggested by Robert Heilbroner can help us to count our blessings, however.

    A Warning That Bears Repeating

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022
     | 1,996 views

    As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

    Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

    Borrowing From Tomorrow

     | 2,701 views

    The Scriptures tell us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." (Proverbs 27:1). Too many people in these last days forget that they may not have tomorrow. The time to be prepared to meet God is now.

    All of us at one time have put things off until the last minute, such as the writing of a research paper for school or studying for exams. We put off important decisions at our place of work, or filing tax returns, buying your family Christmas presents on or near Christmas Eve, or asking that ...read more
