    God's Gift To Us: A Christmas Message Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2021
     | 8,384 views

    No one lobbied Him as you would a senator. No one petitioned Him, as might your boss or your teacher. And no one solicited Him to do this as you might barter with someone in the marketplace. None of that was necessary for God, for the Father willingly offered up His one and only Son as a gift.

    Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It’s at Christmastime that we give gifts, and we receive gifts. This is why retailers are so happy with Christmas in a way they’re not happy with the Fourth of July, for example or Easter. At the other holidays, we don’t give gifts like we do at Christmas. ...read more

    In this sermon, I am linking Psalm 95 with John F. Wade’s hymn, “O Come, All Ye Faithful" as we are called to come into the very Presence of our Lord and King and Savior triumphantly, singing His praises and making a joyful noise.

    This morning, my brothers and sisters, you have been personally invited into the very presence of God. “O come, all ye faithful (stanza 1) … “come into His presence” (Psalm 95:2). What a singular, unspeakable honor, amen? We have been invited to come into the presence of the “King above all ...read more

    Where Is The Lord God Of Elijah? (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 5, 2022
     | 2,565 views

    As I read through this passage, it appears that Elijah is testing Elisha. Look at verse 2. He said to Elisha, “...Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el...”

    But notice Elisha’s response in that same verse, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...”Then look at verse 4. Elijah seems to test Elisha again. He said, “...tarry here...for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho...” Again, same verse, Elisha responds, “...As ...read more

Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.’ “As he sat on the Mount ...read more

    Psalm 46 is a powerful source of comfort and assurance for God's people. In this message Dr. Tow expounds verses 1-3, laying the foundation of why we can be fearless during the storms of life.

    Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

    INTRODUCTION Do you agree that in God’s master plan, there is no such thing as “coincidence”? A few weeks ago, your pastor asked if I would be willing to preach today. Not only did I tell him “Yes!” on the spot, but I also told him that I knew exactly what I wanted to preach. You see, God had ...read more
