    For all those who ever felt like giving up, you’re not alone. But instead of giving up it’s time to fire up, there is something new ahead of you.

    1 Ki 19 1-18 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this ...read more

    No matter the problem we are facing, no matter how helpless or hopeless we feel, there is a Christ that cares for us.

    A faithful study of this, the third of the four Gospels, the book of Luke, will reveal that it was written by the beloved physician, Luke. This is one of two books that Luke penned, the other being the Book of Acts. Luke was greatly influenced by the Apostle Paul. It is even suggested that Luke ...read more

    How many times have you been in a conversation, folk sitting around reminiscing; talking about how things used to be?

    Back in the day… Isaiah 23: 11-18 “Cross over to Cyprus even there you will find no rest…” In other words, if you’re trying to get away from what God has in store for you, you’re not going to be able to. “Look at the land of the Babylonians, this people ...read more

    Often we end the Christmas story when the wise men returned home but the story continued.

    So here we are at the end of the first chapter in the Story of Jesus. If you have been with us since the beginning of the advent season then you know that we have been looking at some of the mysteries of Christmas. We started with the mystery of the Virgin Birth and how it had been prophesied ...read more

    True Repentance

    Contributed by Denise Raterta on Oct 14, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,868 views

    Backsliding itself is of course horrendous. But it gets doubly shameful and we’ll end up dishonoring God even more when we repent without fully knowing exactly how we have offended God.

    Seeing and hearing the reactions of different people in the midst of the recent calamities in the world, I find myself grieving because most of us, even the supposedly veteran believers, do not fully understand and recognize God’s clear message behind the events. We just hear and do what we like to ...read more

    Earthen Vessel, Feet Of Clay

     | 10,432 views

    Ordination of Troy L. Dixon, Nov. 1989: We pursue the trappings of religion instead of what is truly value. As a common clay vessel, be wary of power games, know that your foundation can crumble, focus on the treasure of the Gospel.

    Somehow in men’s minds the paraphernalia of religion get to be more important than the faith itself. It is one of the enduring problems of religious life, how it is that we get far more caught up and invested in the trappings of religion than in the faith itself. In your average church, you ...read more

    The accounts of the last supper sound more like the last snack. This message looks at what all happened that night.

    Do you ever feel that you’ve only heard half the story? It’s kind of frustrating isn’t it? You wonder what else might have gone on and what you’ve missed. That’s what happens when we read the accounts of the Last Supper, it doesn’t matter if it’s one of the accounts in one of the four gospels or ...read more

    If we surrender our hearts to him, Jesus has the power to make us completely whole.

    A Messiah Who Restores Text: Matt. 9:1-8 Introduction 1. Illustration: Some time ago, Time Magazine ran an article that reported on the benefits of religion and the church, and some of the observations included: 1.

    "The Gospel Not Of Man"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 5, 2009
     | 2,728 views

    What aspect of the Gospel differentiates it from every philosophy or doctrinal statement of mankind? It is that it comes directly from God. It is otherworldly. It is entirely divine in origin.

    “For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.” Vs 11 Preacher and Bible commentator, John Stott, said this in his exposition of Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “To tamper with the gospel is to trouble the church… Indeed the church’s ...read more

    The last week of Max Lucado’s Fearless Campaign based on his book. This week we let Jesus out of His box. We like the tame and cuddly Jesus but at His transfiguration Jesus shows that He is the ferocious God.

    Fearless #6 Fear of God getting out of my box This is our last week in this series that we call “fearless.” We have been trying to take of the bullies of life, those things that cause us to cower in a corner, those things that make us want to take a different path, and those things that just scare ...read more

    There are many "self-help" books about how we can have a successful church, but Titus is one of the few divinely inspired books telling us how to do this. What are three of the basic principles a church needs to observe to be successful in God’s eyes?

    OPEN: Several years back, John Brodie, a former quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, was used by his team to hold the ball for field goals and extra points after the touchdown. A reporter once asked why a million-dollar player like him would have to do such a menial task. "Well," said ...read more
