    Let Jesus Show You How To Face Temptation Lesson 2 Series

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Oct 12, 2023
     | 1,275 views

    Your best defense against temptation is quoting the written Word of God. Therefore, learn the Bible, memorized the Bible, and use the Bible.

    “Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil … fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards … hungry. The tempter said ‘if you are the Son of God … stones become bread. Jesus … ‘It is written man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word … mouth of God.’ ...read more

    Time For The Church To Get Back To The Word!

     | 1,663 views

    The church is losing the battle of truth. It’s time we as Christians get back in the word, spend time with the word, and speak the truth of the word!

    THE WORD! A couple of weeks ago, we had vacation bible school here at the church.  If you were here, you know how hungry these kids were for the Word of God.  For those of you who weren’t here, about 3 of those nights I spent time under a barrage of fire from every question imaginable. ...read more

    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

     | 2,761 views

    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 puts us through tests at times to strengthen our faith. But have you ever been tempted to test God?

    A few weeks ago we talked about how God puts us through tests at times to strengthen our faith. But have you ever been tempted to test God? I came across this story about a little boy that tested God. It was on the first day of elementary school. New central air conditioning units had finally ...read more

    Putting Things Before God

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 15, 2023
     | 2,071 views

    Jesus was tempted to exalt Himself in a way that was not right. Today we're going to talk a little bit about exalting ourselves above God or putting something else before God.

    If you don't toot your own horn, who will? Have you ever heard that before? Let's face it, we really enjoy those moments when good things happen to us. We feel good when we've accomplished something. And with those good experiences, we naturally want to tell others about it. ...read more

     | 1,690 views

    We are commanded to worship God alone giving Him the top priority in our lives, and also to honor our parents, if we want God’s blessings to be showered on us. Let’s choose to obey God’s word so we don’t miss out on His blessings

    We are studying in detail about blessings and curses to fathom all that the word of God has to convey about this. There are so many who are held down by several curses that overrule their lives thereby not being able to experience the true blessings that God has envisioned for them. As we delve ...read more

     | 5,114 views

    After being baptized in the Jordan river, Jesus was driven into the Judean wilderness by the Holy Spirit to face forty days of hunger, thirst, and a supernatural battle with His archenemy and ours, the devil.

    The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness of Judea, a barren, dry, and desolate area. It would be a place of severe testing where He would encounter the works and wiles of the devil, a real being whose aim was to try and tempt Jesus to abuse HIs power, lose His faith, or submit to the ...read more

    Sermon # 30 - Fasting - A Spiritual Discipline Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 29, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 898 views

    The people of Nineveh fasted and repented of their sinful ways at the preaching of Jonah. Fasting is a spiritual discipline, which helps us set aside physical food to spend time with God so that we are strengthened on the inside and can experience genuine transformation in our lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:4-5, Jonah started through the city, and after walking a whole day, he proclaimed, "In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!" The people of Nineveh believed God's message. So they decided that everyone should fast, and all the people, from the greatest to the least, ...read more

    Friends, today we journey with Jesus into the wilderness, where he faced a fierce desert battle against the whispers of the enemy. Let's explore how we can overcome the devil's temptations, just as our Savior did.

    Temptation is our awful struggle not to lose ourselves and our potential to lose ourselves. Temptation also highlights God’s mercy and grace in our lives in the wilderness for forty minutes, hours, days or years.

    In today’s Gospel reading, we encounter the most human and common experience: temptation, which Jesus also experienced in a very profound way. The temptations of Jesus are found in all four Gospels. But we are accustomed to thinking that Jesus was tempted three times before his public ministry ...read more
