    God Is Bigger Than My Selfishness Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,696 views

    Fast food restaurants ask you, “Would you like to supersize your drink?” Warehouse stores sell Costco and Sam’s Club offer us items in bulk – really big sizes. It seems like the only item in modern day life that hasn’t been upgraded is God.

    Today, we continue a short 4-week series entitled God is Bigger. Pause for a moment because I want everyone to hear this question: How big is your God? How capable is God in your mind? J.B. Phillips wrote a book that he gave a title that fascinates me entitled, Your God Is Too Small. He writes, ...read more

    Upon John's birth, Zechariah's mouth is reopened and he speaks. His voice speaks of God's plan to redeem all who put their faith in him. Today, the church is like a modern Zechariah and our mouth must open to the coming of our Lord

    Fathers - Be Zealous

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Aug 29, 2019
     | 2,600 views

    This 2019 Father's Day message looks at the meaning of the Hebrew word kinah - which describes the jealousy or zeal of the Lord. In Proverbs 6:30-35 we see that husbands are also those who should be kinah. The call for fathers to have this character of God has very significant applications.

    Breath Of God Or Copd?

     | 4,007 views

    I believe the modern church is suffering from spiritual COPD; we’re not getting the Breath of life from God often enough to animate us, transform us, heal & renew us, and help us overcome. God's Breath is our source of life, gives us purpose, & power.

    BREATH OF GOD OR COPD? Job 33:4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man wanted to be a salesman, but he stuttered very badly. Then he saw an ad for a job as a Bible salesman for the Bible Society, and he decided to apply. 2. At the interview, they heard him stutter and said, "We're sorry, ...read more

    Jesus In The Lion's Den Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 3, 2022
     | 3,152 views

    Let’s fast forward in time around 550 years from Daniel’s day. As we leave our time machine, we have left the ancient land of modern-day Iraq because we now find ourselves in Jerusalem. We arrive at the Mount of Olives at night, just outside the skirts of ancient Jerusalem.

    Daniel’s story is in your Bible so you’ll always know hope. Hope in the Christian sense is the confident and certain expectation of future blessings and the confidence that the best is yet to come. We need a hope that a virus cannot touch. We need a hope that a divorce cannot destroy. We need a ...read more

    The mark of the beast is something that many people are curious about but have great reservations in trying to fully understand. Sadly, some people many of which are sincere Christians find themselves terrified feeling that they will be forced to take the mark of the beast in the near future.

    Uncompromising Faith In A Compromising World

    The stories of Daniel and his friends in the Bible show us how to live an uncompromising faith in a compromising world. They refused to compromise their beliefs, even when faced with death, and they were ultimately rewarded for their faithfulness.

    Introduction: Dear Brothers and Sisters. As we gather today, I want to take a moment to invite you to journey back in time, to a world much different from our own, yet one that bears striking similarities to our current day.
