     | 1,201 views

    Fasting keeps God’s presence alive, and keeps God first to make you effective in ministry.

    “They (the prophets) began cutting down trees. But as one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. ‘Oh Sir!’ he cried, ‘It was a borrowed ax.’ ‘Where did it fall?’ The man of God asked.

    Fasting Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 22, 2022
     | 2,215 views

    This sermon addresses the reality that Jesus fasted so we should fast. Jesus understood the importance of fasting when it came to spiritual warfare, and he also understood the importance of fasting when it came to intimacy with God. It is a spiritual practice that still has validity for today.

    Good morning. We are continuing our series called Learning to Live Like Jesus. A series that is based on the extended passage known as the Sermon on the Mount. The past few weeks, we have been looking at chapter 6 that really speaks of the obstacles to living life in the kingdom. A few weeks ...read more

    If you have your Bibles with you today and you want to follow along, we are going to be looking at the sixth chapter of the book of Matthew starting at verse 1 and going down to verse 18. Matthew 6:1-18. While you are looking for that, I just have a question. I am sure I have asked you before ...read more

    Be Ye Separate

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 4, 2024
     | 1,171 views

    Christians are to be readily recognizable. They are to be seperate from worldly persons. However, it is most difficult to identify one in a crowd in the modern world. Why?

    In western culture and its influence upon all the rest of mankind, depicting Christians from the rest of the world is most difficult today. The only differences we see come from diverse groups who outwardly show differences in their dress and chosen culture. Outward differences among all others are ...read more

    The ultimate goal of most people in the world is to see God. What does it take?

    Matthew 5:8 is one of the most astounding statements in the word of God. You and I may stand and look at the same object and see different things. The eye sees what it is trained to see. That is not only true physically, but spiritually. Isn't it amazing that two people can come to the same ...read more

    God gives us what we value most. If it’s public recognition, we get it. We get God’s approval only if that is what we value.

    Our culture admires publicity. People are famous just for being famous. We grow up watching people who command the public eye; we call them stars. They are the people with money, fame, position, power and recognition. They are held up by the media as larger than life, people to be envied. We ...read more

     | 7,352 views

    If we were to summarize the advice the advice Jesus that gives to us in these verses, then we would have to conclude that Jesus wants us to remember that prayer is a matter of the heart. This sermon is about the need to rend our hearts.

    AN ASH WEDNESDAY HEART Text: Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 Matthew 6:1-6, 16 - 21  "Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven.  (2)  "So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before ...read more
