    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Aug 17, 2018
     | 5,992 views

    Evil is real and powerful, but the power of God is greater. The armor of God, with illustrations.

    IN CHRIST, I AM…OVERCOMING EVIL—Ephesians 6:10-20 Sometimes we are surprised at the evil in our world. A nice person, a good neighbor, goes ballistic and shoots someone.

    Large crowds followed Jesus, coming where He was. He could've waited on them to come to Him, but often He went out, seeking them. Jesus was often found among those society rejected. We too must be willing to go where they are, seeking to reach them.

    Found among Sinners Mark 2: 13-17 Following a season of ministry around the region of Galilee, Jesus had returned to Capernaum. His return created quite a stir, as multitudes arrived at Peter’s house, hoping to see Jesus. The palsied man was miraculously healed, and Jesus made a statement that ...read more

     | 14,637 views

    Everyone has faith doubts from time to time. "Doubting Thomas" teaches us to guard ourselves in our low times, draw strength from others, and take our doubts to the risen Lord.

    John 20:19-20, 24-29 Defeating Doubt Everyone goes through doubts in their faith from time to time. Even Mother Teresa had doubts. She once wrote her spiritual director, “Where I try to raise my thoughts to heaven, there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp ...read more

    Parable Of The Perfect Father

     | 23,915 views

    Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

    Luke 15:11-32 Parable of the Perfect Father Today’s story is probably my favorite in the Bible. I’ve shared it with you before, but never in the context of Father’s Day. Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more

    "God's Family....better Together" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 20, 2017
     | 12,081 views

    If we trace God’s hand back to the book of Genesis and follow it through the OT we see God as the creator of two institutions. (1) The family and (2) the church. And we quickly realize that the two are very closely related.

    FAMILY MATTERS “God’s Family….Better Together” Acts 2:42-47 “I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God, I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by his blood, joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this side; I’m a part of the family, the family of God.” Have you heard that before? I certainly ...read more

     | 7,588 views

    Psalm 126 captures the Israelites' thanksgiving for God's miraculous provision in the past, their need for God now, and their faith that God will come through for them in the future. It is our song as well: God has done great things for us!

    Psalm 126 Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude What’s the worst thing that ever happened to you? Think for a moment about that. Some of you will undoubtedly think about losing a spouse or losing a child or grandchild, and the void left in your heart. Some will think about going to war. Some might ...read more

    The Noble Task Of Leadership Series

     | 8,693 views

    Jesus has given leaders to the church who are called to a lead through their Christian character and example; it is not a calling that all desire because it comes with great responsibility. It is also a calling that requires great respect.

    Message “The Noble Task of Leadership” 1 Timothy 3:1 Why do politicians get such a rough stick when it comes to their leadership? I don’t want you to answer out loud but I suspect, if we were to share our thoughts and answers, there would be many reasons … and a few of us might even start getting ...read more
