    Jesus Is Stronger

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 25, 2021
     | 4,548 views

    The story of Jesus casting out a demon in Luke 11 teaches us that Jesus has the power to release us from the power of Satan and indeed from everything that enslaves us. The story also shows us how Jesus deals with reproach and the necessity of positively choosing Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION We are continuing our series in Luke. Today, we have the story of Jesus casting out a demon. I suspect that this story might not be the first choice of many preachers. Casting out demons probably seems very alien to many of us. But this story appears in Matthew, Mark and Luke and ...read more

    God's Will Versus Our Will

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 25, 2021
     | 5,427 views

    Do we have ANY choice or is every aspect of our lives already been predetermined by God? Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and purposes are?

    Today I want to talk about God’s Will vs. Our Will. We are taught from the Bible that God gives us a free will. It is ours to choose. Sometimes what we choose is good and in the will of God, and other times what we choose is dead wrong. Maybe this message will answer a few of your questions. ...read more

    When we love the food, we want to tell everyone about the restaurant.

    Raise your hand if you had a favorite restaurant growing up. I don’t mean fast food. I mean the place you went for birthdays, or homecoming dances. For me, it was Red Lobster.

    Before we can shift IN to anything else, we have to shift OUT of neutral. How do we do that? According to Ezekiel, God only knows.

    Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, chapter 37. That’s not one we spend a whole lot of time in, so I’ll give you some time to find it.
