     | 72 views

    The sermon urges believers to pursue a daily, intimate walk with God like Enoch, prioritizing faithfulness and devotion over worldly achievement or recognition.

    If you’ve ever taken a slow walk with someone you love, you know the wonder of it. The world rushes, but your pace becomes conversation, companionship, and comfort. You notice what you’d miss at a sprint—the birdsong, the breeze, the steady presence at your side. Scripture tells us of a man who ...read more

    This sermon deals with some of the reasons we fail to draw close to God and the virtues of being close to God.

    How close is close enough? Closer Zeno’s paradox. Imagine I had high school boys and girls lined up at opposite ends of the gym and had them half the distance between them every 10 seconds, how long would it be before they are touching? Well, if I always half the distance, they will never ...read more

    God extends mercy before judgment becomes the only option. It is only after the church turns away and the world rejects mercy that God judges. Sodom reveals the picture of God’s deep mercy.

    God’s Mercy Revealed in Sodom Genesis 18: 17 And the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, ... 20 And the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, 21 "I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether ...read more

    How do we submit to God? What is required to do this? 1- We submit by resisting 2- We submit by moving 3- We submit by grieving

    INTRO.- Submit. How do you like that word? It’s a verb that means to yield to the power or authority of another. When we’re small and at home, it means mom and dad. When we’re in school, it means the teacher. When we’re out in the working world, it’s our boss or ...read more

     | 10,336 views

    In order for the anointing of God to move powerfully through a Christian’s life, and upon every life they touch, it must be released.

    Before the anointing was released at the start of Jesus ministry, He was baptized. “When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.” (Luke 3:21 NIV) Baptism symbolizes death. The spices that made up the Anointing Oil ...read more
