    Using the Temptation of Christ as a text, this sermon examines how sex is a good gift from God, but porn tries to offer a shortcut to sexual satisfaction.

    AN OVERLOOKED TRUTH: Sex was God’s idea and it is a good gift from Him. - Genesis 2:20-25. - The church often comes across as anti-sex. We talk a lot about what’s wrong with the way our culture handles sex. This sermon series largely falls into that category, so I’m not saying that there is no ...read more

    In this second message of Getting Better at what Jesus said matters most we will look at our need to push through our insecurity so that we can love ourselves. Understand, it is hard to love our neighbor if we don't feel too good about us.

    Pushing Through #GettingBetter (2) Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, 2 where he was tempted by the devil for forty days.

    Relying On Self

    Nowadays, it's all about instant gratification. It has become a reality. But advertisers weren't the first to use this strategy. From the beginning, Satan has used instant gratification in his bag of tricks to entice us.

    Were any of you tempted this past week? Sure, you were! If you watched any TV or listened to the radio you were more than likely tempted to purchase something. Advertisers often make self-indulgence a part of their marketing strategies. They say we'll be happier if we drive this vehicle, use ...read more

    God has called us to be His sons and daughters, but it is possible that we can live like slaves not understanding our position in Christ. May we be freed from every enslavement so we can enjoy the rights to be the true sons and daughters of God.

    We read in Romans 8:15, For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (KJV) There are two kinds of spirits that are mentioned in the verse above, one is the spirit that makes us a slave, and the other the ...read more

    God revealed Himself to Abraham as the El-Shaddai, God Almighty who can do wonders and miracles for those who trust in Him. The life of Abraham, Joseph, Paul will truly encourage us to trust this Almighty God and walk blamelessly before Him.

    We read in Genesis 17:1, When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the Almighty God. Obey me and always do what is right. (GNB) There is a specific reason why the word of God mentions that Abram was ninety-nine years old when the Lord appeared to him. When ...read more

    Part one of a four part sermon series on guarding our thoughts and bringing them captive to obedience to Christ

    It has been argued, we are the sum of our thoughts. Every action begins as a thought, so a person's thought-life is very important. We will often rationalize bad thoughts by saying, “Well, I didn't do it, I just thought about it.” Well, there are two levels to thinking about it, one is ...read more

    The Cosmic War (Revelation 12)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 3, 2024

     | 945 views

    This chapter contains symbols describing the ongoing war between God Almighty and the devil, Satan. It also shows that the LORD has the final victory and that His people Israel will be saved as He promises throughout Scripture.

    When symbols are used in Scripture, they are self-interpreting. This is the case when we read the account of events written by John in describing what is an ongoing cosmic war between the LORD God Almighty and the forces of evil led by Satan. We see the pure malevolence and hatred both of God ...read more

    Temptation Is Information

    First Sunday in Lent. The sermon is about how our temptations in life can give us information about ourselves, and the world.

    Temptation is Information Temptations are too much for some people to handle. I heard a few years ago a 340lb man sued a hospital for 900k, claiming it ruined his gastric stapling operation. The man underwent weight loss surgery to cure his overeating. The surgeon implanted 70 tiny staples to ...read more
