     | 20,792 views

    Even after Peter's wonderful surprises when Jesus was raised from the dead, he was still struggling to get past his failure. In John 21, we see Jesus giving Peter the opportunity to be reinstated to his role of apostle and leader.

    A. I want to begin this morning with a poem by Louisa Fletcher: “I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again. Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches And all of our poor selfish grief Could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door And ...read more

    This sermon looks at the hope and promise of sowing God's Word. It deals with the failures, but also the joys that we can experience with this! It goes through Jesus' parable of the sower. A special thanks to Rev. Bob Holst for the inspiration and idea

    Are you an optimist, or are you a pessimist? Are you a glass half-empty person, or are you a glass half-full person?

     | 6,809 views

    As far as the biblical record is concerned, some of the greatest achievements in the history of God’s kingdom have come from very ordinary, imperfect people who have overcome failure to be used of God in a significant way. Their lives model some biblical

    FREE TO FAIL Matthew 25:24-25; Philippians 4:13 Matthew 25:25 “And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.” and Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” are two very different statements. The first was made by ...read more

    Don't Quit

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,149 views

    Our victory is assured because Christ was victorious. We are “more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Quitting is a shortcut leading to failure. We can finish strong when we focus on Christ.

    Opening illustration: In 1952 Florence Chadwick attempted to swim 26 miles from the coast of California to Catalina Island. After 15 hours, a heavy fog began to block her view, she became disoriented, and she gave up. To her chagrin, Chadwick learned that she had quit just 1 mile short of her ...read more

    Children You Are Being Duped

     | 1,869 views

    Our primary task as parents is to prepare our sons and daughters to walk according to God’s plan, God’s will, and God’s purpose for their lives. Failure to raise our kids under a purpose and a plan reaps serious consequences.

    Ephesians 6:10-17 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this ...read more

    I've Been Changed Series

    Contributed by Kevin Broyhill on Oct 4, 2024
     | 1,376 views

    Every person has a story, often marked by success, failure, or struggle—but for the Christian, that story can be summed up in one powerful word: Grace. This is the testimony of every believer—before grace and after grace—a story of transformation and redemption.

    I’ve Been Changed! Philemon 8-25 Introduction: Every person has a life story. That story can be summed up on one word: achievement, success, power, wealth, family… tragedy, failure, brokenness. Christian = Grace! Every Christian’s life is a story of grace. Another Word = Changed! Before ...read more

    Guard Your Heart Series

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Jun 7, 2021
     | 5,097 views

    Solomon, being taught of David and being gifted with the gift of wisdom which God had given him, realized that wisdom and knowledge of the things of God should bring a person even closer to God; and therefore, keep him from failure and ruin.

    Guard your Heart Proverbs 4: 1-27 Biblical authors claim that the kings of Israel and Judah were divinely chosen and that they were expected to abide by the Mosaic covenant (see, for example, Deut 17:14-17, 1Sam 8-12, 1Kgs 2:3-4). Thus, Israelites saw their king as an agent of God, ruling on ...read more

    Valentine's Day: Peter came very close to viewing himself by his failures instead of seeing himself through the eyes of Christ. He finally came to realize that he was a beloved disciple. And Jesus sees you as cherished too!

    This morning I want to address the topic of our identity in Christ, concerning how we are a people covered by grace, and how we are deeply loved and cherished. Many believers walk about feeling defeated. They come down hard on themselves and never accept the forgiveness that God wants to offer ...read more

     | 1,058 views

    Reuben had a great destiny as the firstborn of Jacob, but his moral failure and instability led to his downfall. His life teaches us that position alone does not determine greatness—it is character, self-control, and responsibility that shape our destiny.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF REUBEN – FIRSTBORN OF JACOB By Rev.

     | 632 views

    Aaron was a chosen servant of God, anointed as the first high priest of Israel. His life teaches us the importance of obedience, humility, and faithfulness in leadership. However, his failures also show the dangers of yielding to pressure and lacking firm spiritual leadership.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF AARON – FIRST HIGH PRIEST, BROTHER OF MOSES By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Exodus 28:1 – “And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, ...read more

     | 616 views

    Samson’s life was a mixture of great power and great failure. He was a man chosen by God, yet his lack of self-discipline led to his downfall. However, in his final moments, he turned back to God and was used mightily.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF SAMSON – STRONG JUDGE, DEFEATED THE PHILISTINES By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text:. Judges 13:25 "And the Spirit of the Lord began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol." Supporting Texts: Judges 13-16, Numbers 6:1-21, Proverbs 16:32, 1 ...read more

    When Jesus gets in your boat, everything changes. Sometimes God’s greatest invitations come in the middle of ordinary moments. In Luke 5, Jesus steps into Peter’s empty boat and turns a night of failure into a calling that changes everything.
