Sermon # 22 - God's Divine Presence Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 13, 2023

All through the bible the Angel of the Lord appeared to God’s chosen ones to strengthen them and encourage them with His divine presence. No matter what we are going through God’s presence is more than enough to handle all of it to come forth victorious.

Beautiful Feet

What A Difference A Day Makes Series

Contributed by Dan Jackson on Jul 11, 2005

God intended the Sabbath for blessing, we’ve turned into burden; meant for enjoyment, we’ve allowed it to enslave; created for our pleasure, we corrupt it into added pressure.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES! (Exodus 20:8-11) The newspaper editorialized: The world is too big for us. Too much going on, too many crimes, too much violence and excitement. Try as you will, you get behind in the race, in spite of yourself. It’s an incessant strain, to keep pace.…and still, you ...read more

Trust Me

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 8, 2015

TRUST ME In my last series, I focused on the places where Jesus said, “I tell you the truth”. But in order to accept what Jesus said we need to trust that he knows what the truth is. Jesus said to Pilate, “Everyone on the side of truth listens to me”, to where Pilate ...read more
