    Jesus is the way. When all other ways fail, He makes a way for his children. He will make a way for you.

    TEXT: ISAIAH 43:16,18-19 "I am the lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. “But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway ...read more

    The YouTube teacher named Joe Scott (Answers With Joe) once shared questions about Christianity that troubled him. And one of those questions was "Did God Make Sin?"

    OPEN: A woman had volunteered to teach a Sunday School class for toddlers. She was teaching them about Creation, and she started the class by asking questions like “Who made the trees?” and “Who made the sun?” The children responded, “God did” and the woman She was pleased the children were quickly ...read more

    Practice Makes Perfect (2018)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 30, 2021
     | 1,728 views

    Are we children of God? Or do we just claim the name with charades and dismiss the character? Isn’t that what today’s text is all about? On a daily basis, we are called to live up to the name because the way we live is supposed to illustrate who Jesus is!

    PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Text: I John 3:1- 7 The story is told of Alexander the Great confronting a coward: "Alexander the Great had a soldier in his army who also bore the name Alexander. But this man was a coward. Alexander the Great called him before him and said to him, "You ...read more

    what are the basic three things that make a Pentecostal Church?

    What makes a Pentecostal church, is it the music, is it moving lights on the "stage", or is it a message on prosperity that everyone is going tp get rich? What makes a Pentecostal church, (first, second, third): 1. It's The Mission. What is the mission the Pentecostal ...read more

    What Makes Us One?

     | 8,774 views

    You can put a bunch of cats in a burlap bag and you'll have ONE bag full of cats, but you won't have unity. So what makes us one body? The answer is so obvious we sometimes miss it.

    OPEN: Today is our “Unity Service”. We have 3 different languages represented: Burmese; Spanish and English. A lot of us look forward to this worship service because (despite the fact that we come from different backgrounds) we all really seem to like each other. I believe that this is the type of ...read more

    Psalm 98:1-9 teaches us to make a joyful noise to the Lord.

    Scripture During this Season of Advent we have been looking at “Christ’s Advent in the Psalms.” Tonight I want to examine briefly Psalm 98. This Psalm pulsates with joy and expectation at the coming of the Lord. This Psalm is a call to make a joyful noise to the Lord. Let us read Psalm ...read more

     | 1,242 views

    Individualism, like most isms, is a philosophy of “me, first.” “I don’t care about anything or anybody but me.”

    Homily for Feast of the Holy Family Sir 3: 2-7, 12-14; Psalm 127; Col 3: 12-21; Lk 2: 22-40 Version 2 (request that lector read the long version of Colossians) Is any English word so misunderstood today as the key word in Paul’s letter to the church of Colossae?

    Faith That Makes You Whole Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 30, 2022
     | 4,617 views

    Your faith has made you whole. None of us will ever know the fullness, wholeness that God intends without faith in Christ. We do not come to Jesus by our good works. Salvation is a free gift and Jesus already paid the price when he died on the cross.

    Faith has been illustrated in many ways, some of the illustrations successfully illustrate faith and some are not so successful. I remember seeing a friend of my wife and I in a wheelchair. When we asked her what happened she explained she took part in a faith exercise. She was asked to jump off a ...read more

    Make Every Day Count Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 17, 2022
     | 4,398 views

    A clear mind will help us to pray more appropriately for a given situation. Christ is coming again and time is running out. This should lead us to a sound prayer life.

    We need, from time to time, to be reminded that we never know how much time we have left. I used to visit a man name David Fatheringham. He was a faithful believer in his eighties. The doctor said to him, you might not live long at all. I can’t even assure you that you will see another day. But on ...read more

    Making Your Life Matter Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,575 views

    Christians are to display a willingness to be offended, disadvantaged, even abused without making a return, without requiring vengeance, without demanding an accounting – whether an apology, or punishment, or a repayment of some kind.

    This is one of the most encouraging messages you’ll hear. Today’s Big Idea: God Works Diligently on Our Behalf. Over the next few minutes, I want to tell you God serves His children. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever ...read more

    Christmas Makes For Pure Christians Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021
     | 1,811 views

    The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are cavalier about sin. My message in three words is simple: Don’t drift downstream.

    It just seems the holidays are meant for laziness. The week between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day is meant for sleeping in and for resting. Yet, I want to challenge your message during this “week of rest” - The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are ...read more

    Have you ever walked into a room and immediately wondered, “Do I belong here?”

    A lot of people today walk into churches wondering: “Would I be welcome here?” “If they knew my past… my struggles… my doubts… would I still belong?” Sadly, sometimes the Church has made it harder than it should be to answer confidently, “Yes, you belong.” This isn’t a new problem. In Acts 15, the ...read more
