    Getting Even Somehow Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 3, 2017
     | 4,460 views

    The emotion that wells up within us to “get even” is about control, consequences, and vindication. Relational issues are never JUST relational issues!

    Getting Even Somehow (Proverbs 25:21-24) 1. Nobody likes a power outage. You may light oil lamps or use LED lanterns. 2. You enter a room, try to turn on a light switch. There is a lot of psychology there. 3. This is even true of an internet our computer outage. We have become so dependent ...read more

    We Must Grow And Mature In Christ Jesus

    Contributed by Richard Papafio on May 20, 2019
     | 4,602 views

    Until the church matures, jealousy, envy, chasing after miracles and prophecies will not be under control and led by the Spirit of God but led by human desires

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: *WE MUST GROW AND MATURE IN CHRIST JESUS* 1 Corinthians 3:1-5 King James Version (KJV) 3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and ...read more

    Faith’s Persective Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 3, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,718 views

    People of faith place their hope for the future in the promises of God. The things hoped for, though not yet seen, control the life of a person of faith.

    HEBREWS 11: 13-16 FAITH’S PERSECTIVE / SEEKING A BETTER HOMELAND [Revelations 21: 1-7] There is a story about an extremely RICH MAN who was determined to take it all with him when he died. He prayed and prayed until finally the Lord gave in to his prayer request. The only condition was that ...read more

    It's All About People

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 25, 2025
     | 138 views

    God calls us to release control, embrace peace, magnify good, and trust Him to change people while transforming our hearts.

    Introduction One interesting thing about people — they are everywhere. You can’t get away from them. Think about your day today: the barista handing you your usual beet root kale smoothie. That driver who cut you off on the freeway. The e-mail you got earlier from a coworker. The text you sent to ...read more

    Two Kings, Two Paths

    Contributed by Martin Spoelstra on Oct 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 273 views

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

    No Repentance, No Revival Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 12, 2025
     | 102 views

    Without repentance, revival becomes theater—faith without surrender. True awakening begins when hearts trade control for the cross of Christ.

    The Rubberneck Revival We’ve all done it—slowed down to stare at someone else’s wreck. Traffic crawls, brake lights flare, and curiosity pulls at us. We glance, we speculate, we shake our heads—and then we move on. That’s the spirit of this cultural moment. The world is rubbernecking religion. ...read more

    Encourage believers to trust and obey Jesus' call to go deeper in their faith, surrendering their own control and allowing God's transformative work in their lives.

    Good morning, Church family! Our message today is going to dive deep – literally and figuratively. We’re going to take a look at Luke 5:1-14 where Jesus calls His first disciples and challenges them to go deeper in their faith. It’s a powerful story of obedience, trust, and transformation that ...read more

    The Heart Of The Matter

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Oct 18, 2008
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,008 views

    Disagreements are normally centered around power and control. Getting our own way with little regard to what is actually best for a majority or a right thing to do.

    The Heart of the matter James 4:1-10 For the past couple of months we have had a sort of strange schedule. We have been in and out of the book of James. While we have been moving through James it is still a topical kind of study. There is an over all flow that I call teaching on “faith that ...read more

    All of us have the desire to know the future in order to be prepared for it. We want to be in control of as much of our destiny as possible, and not be at the mercy of events.

    based on 58 ratings
     | 5,915 views

    Why do we use blame to manipulate, control and punish each other? This sermon speaks to the issue of blame and why we do it and its solution.

    THE BLAME GAME Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. The way we think and feel about ourselves affects our destiny, we need to see ourselves as God sees us.

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jan 12, 2024
     | 1,566 views

    Instead of thinking of Revelation in terms of beasts, dragons and plagues, think of it in terms of Heavens perspective on history, Jesus’ sovereign control and ultimate triumph over evil.

    January 13, 2024 Everyone is curious about the future. Economists, meteorologists, farmers, etc. use information from the past to forecast what will happen in the future so that the best choices can be made in the present.

    Dare To Be A Daniel

    Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Sep 7, 2002
    based on 165 ratings
     | 33,029 views

    The reason we should dare to be a Daniel is because Daniel trusted that God was in control – even in foreign territory, even when challenged, and even when tried.
