    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,029 views

    From our many backslidings, to "you shall know the LORD."

    THE VALLEY OF TROUBLE AS THE DOOR OF HOPE. Hosea 2:14-20. Hosea’s own rocky marriage stands as a metaphor for the troubled relationship between the LORD and Israel. Just as Gomer was unfaithful to Hosea, so Israel broke covenant with the LORD (Hosea 1:2). One harbinger of hope is discovered - ...read more

    Do you ever feel weary and worn-out deep in your soul? In Matthew 11, Jesus invites us to find rest for our souls. This powerful message reveals that we must Come to Jesus, Connect to Jesus, and Conform to Jesus in order to discover deep, abiding rest for our souls.

    Rest for Your Souls Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 12/31/2017 If you’re anything like me, now that we’re looking at Christmas in the rearview mirror, you’re probably ready for a little rest and recovery!

    I'll Be Home For Christmas Series

     | 3,734 views

    On that first Christmas it seems that no one was "home for Christmas" and yet Jesus was born to give us the promise a home with Him forever. What can that promise mean to us?

    (Singing this acapella) “I'll be home for Christmas, you can plan on me. Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree. Christmas Eve will find me where the lovelight gleams. I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams.” That Christmas song was written back in 1924, but it ...read more

    This message is about how we walk with God. Are we allowing Him to lead or are we trying to walk with Him as equal partners?

    Walking With God Scripture: Amos 3:3; Hebrews 11:1-6; Genesis 5:21-24 There is a song I love titled “Walk With Me.” The song says, “Walk with me Lord, walk with me.

    In this Sunday’s message we will learn more about the truism, “Where there is depth, there is peace.” There is a peace that is all encompassing and a greater peace than the world can offer. And this peace is for everyone; it’s God’s Shalom Peace, and it lasts forever.

    Everlasting Shalom Peace Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dOGoy49UbI As we look around, we see a world that is in desperate need of peace, as we have a war between Russia and Ukraine that has roped in just about every nation on this earth.

    The Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorrah Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 27, 2022
     | 5,864 views

    Here is the famous story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Even those with no bible background know what we are talking about when we mention the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is the infamous fire and brimstone judgement of God passage.

    We look at the life of Abraham. His call to leave his land and family and the promise he received. He has been waiting almost 25 years for the fulfillment of that promise. Abraham is promised that Sarah at the age of 90 will give birth to Isaac within the year. Now there is another turn in the life ...read more

    This sermon started when I was in Preaching Class, and it evolved into this. I preached this sermon my first Sunday at my church.

    I’m a “dunker.” Not with a basketball, as I am only 5’9”, but rather with chocolate chip cookies. There is nothing quite like the chocolate chip cookie. They come in all shapes and sizes, but they are very similar in how they are made. There is the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and, of ...read more

    How could my weakness be a good thing? Why would this truth be necessary for me to understand God’s will for my life?

    OPEN: A work crew had been working at a construction site for about a week when the company hired a new man to replace a man who’d been hurt the day before. He was a broad-shouldered, powerful young man and was a good worker… but he was also annoying. He was always bragging that he was stronger ...read more
