    Study of worship as outlined in the Tenth Chapter of Hebrews.

    “Since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having ...read more

    Simon Cowell is a familiar name to anyone who has watched shows like American Idol, The X Factor, and America’s Got Talent. He is the judge who’s usually scowling or looking totally bored. If you can get Simon to say something good about your performance, well, you may just be a star!

    This exposition of Zechariah 10:1-4 deals with God's way of blessing his people: thru the principle of Ask and Receive. His intervention on behalf of his people by sending Messiah is also expounded.

    Our text today is in Zechariah 10:1-4. I. God’s INVITATION is to Ask and Receive We begin with the first word in that chapter: “Ask.”i God’s method of blessing His people begins there. He begins with an invitation to ask and receive. And that begins with our acknowledgement that every good gift ...read more

    Excluded From The Celestial City

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 6, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,766 views

    Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven ain't goin' there. The Word of God is quite clear that many will be excluded from Heaven. The message is a plea to those who are casual about God to avoid this condemnation.

    “[Christ, seated on His throne] said to [John], ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But ...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

    Lost & Pretending

    Contributed by Captain Emily Vincent on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,470 views

    Jesus tells the parables about the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son, but how can this relate to us today in our modern world? And how can we as Christians be pretending? Will God be able to tell who we really are behind the person we have created ourselves out to be?

    Guys…I want to be really honest with you this morning… I love that we get to do some amazing things, but honestly. I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off…running from one meeting to another, making sure everything on my multiple lists get done, and I’m just plain tired…I can’t ...read more

    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

    So much of our modern communications are written in abbreviations. One of the key words of 1 John is "know". (also love, and believe). This message is built around the things John said we could (and should know. I'll use a Keynote presentation (Powerpoint) available upon request.

    Breath Of God Or Copd?

     | 3,939 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.

    Jesus In The Lion's Den Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 3, 2022
     | 3,110 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
