The Kingdom of God is the realm of God, visible or invisible, where God’s systems and ways of doing things are already established and working. B.

     | 5,308 views

    Truth for man is only found in God and His Word. God’s Word, the Bible, is our truest guide and one resource we should reach for in every decision, challenge, and temptation. A man should receive this truth before his own intuitions, emotions, & opinions.

    Well, here we are, attribute number 5 – Receptive to Truth. As we look at each one of these 9 attributes of a man of God, I said that each one of them is going to drive us closer to becoming the men that God wants us to be. Nothing will do that more than becoming more receptive to truth in our ...read more

     | 4,177 views

    This is part 5 of Jesus Among Secular Gods, based on the book by Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale. This week the dangers of hedonism in our lives, churches, and cultures are discussed.

    Hedonism is all about happiness or pleasure. Happiness and pleasure are good things, but when we make happiness and pleasure the highest forms of good, we miss out on the best God has for us. In the movie, The Matrix, it is discovered that machines have taken over the world and are channeling ...read more

    We can all relate to the inconsistencies in Samson's life to at least some degree. In this message we learn about the anointing of God; the consequences of sin and the potential benefits of God's correction, and the grace of God and how God's redemptive mercy.

    We are learning from the life of Samson as recorded in Judges 13-16. In your personal time I encourage you to read those four chapters since we can’t take time to do that in these two sermons. Last week we examined the call God placed on Samson’s life before he was born. We saw the connection ...read more

    Can I Really Believe Jesus Is Who He Says He Is? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 1,957 views

    Had your brother said, “I’m God. I’m the Lord. And I’m here to die for the sins of the world,” you wouldn’t readily believe Him either. But after Jesus rose from the grave, we see Jesus’ mother, Mary, worshipping Him. We also see his own brothers, James and Jude, worshipping as well.

    Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. All throughout today’s message, I’m going to be talking about the gospel. The gospel is Jesus. The gospel is the message of Jesus. If you’re regularly a part of our church family, I’ve moved from the end of Luke 5, last week, to Luke 8, this ...read more

    The Parable Of The Four Soils Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 6,298 views

    Only one of the four soils produces. Three of the four soils reject the seed. The problem isn’t with the seed but the soil. It’s the same seed that produces a great crop in the fourth soil that goes away in the first three soils.

    Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. There’s something beautiful in the way those on the outside react when they first hear the gospel. One person when he recently began to comprehend the message of Jesus, recently asked me: “Do you mean to tell me that Adolf Hitler could receive ...read more
