Calm In Wild Weather – Peace In Life’s Storms (Message December 2023) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2023

I have just been through flooding rains, and in the past, in the eye of the storm (cyclone, hurricane). Peace and calm from God is present in life’s storms in turmoil all around us. In His hand there is comfort when all this world wants to do is to batter the life out of us.

Ask And You Shall Receive Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 5, 2024

Jesus tells us how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. We will learn that when we pray according to God’s will, that He hears and answers; but it might not be what we expect. However, it will be exactly what we need.

This morning, we are going to look at what Jesus has to say about how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. In his song “Good, Good Father,” Chris Tomlin says, “I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide, but I know we’re all searching for answers only You provide. ‘Cause You ...read more

Kingdom Keys - Colossians Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 12, 2024

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 20, 2022

Satan seeks to do all he can to hinder and defeat the church. One of the tools he likes to use is deception. If he can distort the truth, causing people to believe a lie, then he has succeeded in his efforts.

I remain convinced that this passage needs to be preached and ...read more
