    When storms come, and they will come, "Hold On," there is peace among the pieces. I preached this message in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike.

    Peace Among the Pieces By Pastor Donny Granberry It has definantly been difficult for many of our Church family, our neighbors, and those living within the reach of Ike these past week or so.

    Why does it seem that sometime we are just existing instead living for Jesus? That is our theme in this message.

    Introduction: I’d like to begin this morning by asking you a question. Are you living or existing? It seems that many times in our lives we are merely existing instead really living life for what its worth. We get up, go to work or school, or we begin our daily routine, whatever it may be and ...read more

    We are called to possess not visit. How do we position ourselves to possess what God has for us?

    “Positioned For Possession” Text: Deuteronomy 1:6, Joshua 3:11-14; 5:2-12 I. Opening It was the site of the original “Shock and Awe” campaign. Lightening. Thunder. Fire. Smoke. Trumpets sounding from the summit. The people were so terrified that they insisted that Moses stay between them ...read more

    A Place Of Service Part 2

    My Job as a Pastor is to serve others. God uses me a lot by giving me dreams. Some Pastors are afraid to talk about dreams that come from God. If a young lady would not have heard me talking about dreams her mom might have went to Hell.

    A Place of Service Part 2 Jeremiah 23:28-29 28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. 29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the ...read more

    The message examines God’s judgment on Solomon.

    During the forty years Solomon reigned over the nation of Israel we see Solomon sowing a lot of seeds of self-indulgence in hopes of reaping a harvest to satisfy those longings in his life. To his dismay the harvest only brought with it more emptiness and that which he longed for continued to be ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,387 views

    The success of marriage is not based on success as the world teaches but as God commands through the example of submission offered by Christ himself.

    INTRODUCTION As you can tell from the title of the message, we are going to be looking at a tough subject today – one I prefer NOT to speak on – the relationship between HUSBANDS & WIVES. BUT before we dive in, I want to speak a moment on the attitude we need to bring – JUST HOW IMPORTANT IS THE ...read more

    Preparing For The Best Series

    Contributed by Steve Smith on Oct 14, 2008
     | 4,746 views

    Persecution can and is real. The key is how we approach it. Peter offers 2 lessons of encouragement: We must "Cultivate Christian Love" and "Practice the Lordship of Christ".

    INTRODUCTION Persecution is real for the believer. While it comes in many different ways, it is real – The group we’ve been studying about in 1 Peter suffered this horror in much a different way than we do as Christians today: Dr. M.R. DeHaan put it this way: In the early days of the church. . . , ...read more

    Prevailing Prayer

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Oct 15, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,256 views

    In times of crisis, we are to express the positive through our words and works so that we enjoy the peace of God.

    In times of crisis, like what we are experiencing right now, we usually hear, “Why worry when you can pray?” Prayer allows us to prevail over these trying times. But, frankly, we tend to worry more than pray. One of my favorite verses in the Bible on prayer is Philippians 4:6-9. “Do not be anxious ...read more

    God has empowered each one of us to engage so that we can express love to one another and so that we can exalt Him.

    The Beijing Olympics has come and gone. Sadly, our athletes did not win a single medal, let alone a gold medal. Yes, we won a gold medal in Wushu. But it did not affect our medal standing because it is just a demonstration event. I am not putting down our athletes. They tried to compete against all ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,543 views

    This is a great passage on the salvation brought about by the death of Jesus Christ. It is also an interesting passage in that it gives us some glimpse into what Jesus Christ was doing while he was dead, that is, between His crucifixion and resurrection.

    Understanding the Death and Triumph of Christ 1 Peter 3:18-22 Introduction In Mel Gibson’s Movie, “The Passion of Christ” there is an obscure detail in the crucifixion scene that probably goes unnoticed by most people, but it is a detail that says so much. When Jesus is being placed on the ...read more

    What is Spiritual authority and who can have it?

    I think we all agree that ours is a spiritual battle...EPH 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
