    Beatitudes Series

    Contributed by Joe Friend on Feb 6, 2008
     | 11,102 views

    When we hunger and thirst of righteousness then you will find your happiness. When we develop a heavenly hunger for Jesus everything else will seem meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

    We all want to be happy, Right? We want to go through life with a feeling of accomplishment that brings happiness. Sometimes happiness can be a short lived experience in life. Kinda like a kid buying a happy meal at McDonalds. Kids love happy meals don’t they? It doesn’t matter where we are my ...read more

    Naomi and her family have wandered a long way from God’s promises - what sort of welcome will she find when she turns back?

    When it comes to handyman repair jobs, I reckon there’s a strange fascination. There is for me, anyway. If you want anything fixed around the house, CALL ME. You’ll probably be sorry. Because to be honest, the problem is, in my own mind, I’m BOB THE BUILDER. But in practice, all I usually do is ...read more

    This message brings out the importance of taking worship to where God intended it to be, we need to stop allowing our minds to wander when it comes to worship

Worship comes from the Anglo Saxon word – Worthship i. it means ‘worthiness.’ Ultimately it has come to mean to give value or meaning to something or someone. ii. Ask your self ...read more

    On many occasions Israel wandered from God and ran to Egypt, a tpye of the world. We must be carefu; not to run to Egypt, but to trust in God and remain faithful to Him

    “Don’t Run to Egypt” Introduction: A worldly kind of person came to the preacher, defending her practice of attending worldly entertainments. She said, "But, preacher, I can take Jesus Christ with me wherever I go." The preacher after a few moments of thought quietly replied, "Indeed, is that so? I ...read more

     | 16,787 views

    Work hard at handling the Word of God because how we handle God’s Word determines whether we’ll be an approved worker or an ashamed wanderer.

    Getting it Right 2 Timothy 2:14-19 Rev. Brian Bill April 22-23, 2017 The Bible clearly says, “There is no God.” Does that surprise you? I’m not making that up. This strong statement comes as a direct quotation from Psalm 14:1. That’s a problem, isn’t it? How could the Bible, which is all ...read more

    The key idea in this passage is that God is willing to restore those who call on him, even through a variety of circumstances—wandering, self-inflicted pain, or rebellion in this case.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • What do you tend to do when things in life get difficult? Where do you run, to whom or what do you turn? • One lesson I have learned in life is who I need to turn to when I need deliverance and who to thank! • We are entering the Thanksgiving holiday season. • Today we ...read more

     | 2,774 views

    Hebrew Christians 2000 years ago were reminded of the wanderings of their ancestors and we Christians too today are warned about straying away from and disobeying God!

    We continue our worship of God by learning from the Letter to the Hebrews. The immediate audience of the letter were Hebrews who became Christians. The Temple in Jerusalem, where Jewish rituals and worship happen, was likely still there when the letter was written to those Hebrew Christians. ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,826 views

    Despite his past, Jacob encounters God and sees that nothing is the same. God in Christ shows us how to protect ourselves from the devil’s claim that life is ordinary and meaningless.

    Last week we established the fact that Jacob was a cheat. After that incident, and before the incident we read of today, we learn that he is a liar and a thief as well. You all know the story of how Jacob masquerades as Esau to obtain his father Issac’s blessing. It is not too much later that ...read more

    Solomon was given special gifts by God which he wasted in pursuit of the meaningless. We too are given gifts, what shall we do with what we have been given?

    asked, 'Did they do the same thing with the foundation?" He laughed and said: "Oh... you can't do THAT with a foundation." A contractor will tell you that a building is only as good as its foundation. If the foundation is faulty, the building is doomed. But if the foundation is solid, the building ...read more

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Aug 25, 2019
     | 13,082 views

    We are hearing alot these days that prayers are worthless; just meaningless platitudes. This message refutes those claims and shows through Scripture that when a Christian prays, things really do change.

    Prayer That Avails Much Scriptures: 2 Chronicles 7:12-16; James 5:13-16; Acts 12:5-10 2 Chronicles 7:12-16 says, “And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, ‘I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself for a house of sacrifice.

    God is worthy of worship because of His nature. This sermon considers how various aspects of God's nature should shape our worship of Him, lest it become meaningless with repetition.

    I. In the novel “The American” by Henry James, Count Valentin remarks to Newman about some of the terrible things Newman has endured. “You’ve spent some awful, some deadly days, and you’ve done some extremely disagreeable things: you’ve shoveled sand, as a boy, for supper, and you’ve eaten cat in a ...read more

    Though 85 years old, and having just come out of the wilderness wanderings, Caleb is not finished. He is not content with taking life easy. He says, "Give Me This Mountain."

    “How To Reach Your Mountain” Joshua 14:1-15, 15:13-14 Caleb has every right to be tired....to be weary......to be satisfied with just sitting back and proping his feet up. After all.....he was 85 years old, and had just come out of 40 years spent wandering in the wilderness. But Caleb is ...read more
