    This is a message about moving past your past even when other can not.

    Mark 6:1-6 6 Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. 2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is ...read more

    They That Wait Upon The Lord

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Jun 5, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 38,913 views

    Waiting on God and moving when He tells us is a sign of obedience. He blesses those that are sensitive to His guidance and accomplishing what He desires for our lives.

    They that wait on the Lord Isaiah 40:28-31 Introduction- Turn to Isaiah 40 This has been one of those weeks where I found myself asking God… how do I get done what I need too because it was a week that was so demanding. I said to the Lord during the week, Sunday is coming and I don’t have a ...read more

    The Progression Of Praise

    Contributed by Steve Ely on Oct 1, 2008
    based on 15 ratings
     | 15,203 views

    Praise . . . it is more than goosebumps and music. There is a progression to praise that we must move through.

    The Progression of Praise Text: Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his ...read more

    Why Can Spiritual Stuff Be So Scary? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 1, 2019
     | 2,582 views

    Mary was "greatly troubled" by the appearance of the angel. Many are in a similar spot - "greatly troubled" by all things spiritual. What can help them take a step forward?

    “GREATLY TROUBLED”: Spiritual stuff can be scary. - Luke 1:29. - An angel shows up to speak to Mary. On the one hand, the angel is light and not wielding a sword, so there is a sense in which he shouldn’t be scary. But, of course, we don’t see angelic beings very often and I’m sure his presence ...read more

    Don't Look Back

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025
     | 134 views

    A divided heart can’t follow Jesus forward; revival begins when we release the past and choose full surrender to the future God offers.

    There are some sentences in Scripture that land like a thunderclap though they contain only three or four words. “Jesus wept.” “Be still.” “Follow Me.” And then there is this one, spoken by Jesus Himself, with no explanation attached: “Remember Lot’s wife.” That’s it. No commentary. No ...read more

    The Covenant means that: 1. God is relational. 2. God is faithful. 3. God is on the move.

    In the song of Zechariah (father of John the Baptist) the Scripture says he was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied: “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come and has redeemed his people. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (as ...read more

    How easy it is to become parched and dry. What we need are fresh showers of blessing to soften our hearts and bring fruitfulness to our lives. The Holy Spirit wants us to understand that we are helpless without Him. The Holy Spirit chose human vessels to

    Burst Forth and Come Down! Isaiah 64:1-4NLT Over 100 years ago, Samuel Chadwick, a great methodist preacher and leader in England, summed it up concisely: “The Christian religion is hopeless without the Holy Ghost.” "If you have the Word without the Spirit, you'll dry up.  If you ...read more

    Christ teaches us that our faith, however small it may be, is very much alive, very active and powerful! He compares the growth of our faith to the raising of a tiny mustard seed. If we keep it alive and nature it, we can move mountains with it.

    Our Gospel reading this morning deals with the topic of faith. Last Sunday St. Matthew told us about Simon Peter’s faith and his momentary loss of it when he took his eyes off Jesus. In today’s Gospel reading Jesus tells us that the strength of our faith determines our ability to ...read more

    - The great hindrance to serving the Lord, & being good stewards for Him, is work. - I think the greatest lie ever told was, to be a Christian means things will always be greatest or best. - You read today’s headlines & realize that’s not true. - Hillsong’s previous worship ...read more

    Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,310 views

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    Tearing Down the Strongholds of Hell Acts 19:8-27 [2Co 10:4 NIV] “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” Paul stayed in Ephesus for 3 full years because there was much work to be done there. He was ...read more

    Thursday in the First Week in Course 2015 Joy of the Gospel The two NT readings we have heard today are linked by a single notion expressed in the words “moved with pity.” Jesus looked on this poor leper and, in the Greek, became splagchnistheis. This is something we have all ...read more

    So Long, Farewell (I'll Tell You This...) Series

    Contributed by Steven Cordle on Mar 28, 2025
     | 436 views

    Several years ago I was leaving a church and looked for ideas for winding down or farewell sermons. I found few ideas. I was able to piece a few options from reference to Paul’s final meeting with the Ephesian elders and Paul’s final thoughts to Timothy.

    This lesson is one of the “farewell sermons” I put together. I have a bibliography for those who would like it.This sermon became the last one I preached in my previous church. The title was inspired by the tagline of a comedian who was popular when I was a kid and I have a series (unrelated to ...read more

     | 37 views

    The sermon encourages believers to move beyond comfort, pursue spiritual growth, and press on with perseverance, relying on God’s grace rather than personal strength.

    Friends, welcome. Some days feel like a treadmill set just a little too fast—our feet are moving, our hearts are pumping, but are we actually getting anywhere? If you’ve ever felt stalled, stuck, or simply stale, you’re in good company. The apostle Paul knew that sensation, and he writes with a ...read more
