    Daniel 7 tells us that the court is seated (Daniel 7:10) as the Son of Man (Jesus) approaches the Ancient of Days (God the Father) who will judge these four kingdoms represented by the four beasts! Today we will talk about our faith, the four beasts, the Ancient of Days.

    THE ANCIENT OF DAYS Text: Daniel 7:1- 3, 13 - 18 Daniel 7:1-18 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.

    It's A Wonderful Life Ii

    I wonder how many people have been touched by this simple film. People who have seen it have testified that it gave them hope. Hope is what Christmas is all about. The Scripture passages we read this morning are all about hope.

    Every year about this time television stations bring out of their vaults an old black and white film that is still popular today. They have already shown it this year. The film is It’s a Wonderful Life. In the film, George Bailey never felt like he amounted to much in life. He had dreams of ...read more

    Psalm 139 focuses on the fact that God knows you and I. But does He really know my name, and what difference would it make if He did?

    There’s an old riddle that asks this question: “What is it that belongs to you, but other people use it more than you do?” THE ANSWER: Your name. Your name belongs to you, but you rarely use it except to tell others who you are. We like it when other people say our names, because our ...read more

    Psalm 23:2 is a picture of serenity, peace, and total rest. Just as sheep cannot rest without their shepherd, we too cannot find true peace without the Lord. In this message, our Shepherd reveals the secret to living a truly restful life.

    The Secret to a Restful Life! Psalm 23:2a Introduction: Cf. in this verse it’s as if the Holy Spirit through the Psalmist David paints a beautiful picture upon the canvass of our minds… lush, green meadow w/ a nearby pond with its still crystal clear water, dotted along the hillside are ...read more

    Lot Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 25, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 802 views

    The wickedness of the city may have caused Lot pain, but instead of being an INFLUENCER, he had become the INFLUENCEE. He had squandered his knowledge of God. His very presence in the city and his own actions say – if nothing else - “acceptance” of the swamp he had chosen.

    October 26, 2024 We don’t know much about Lot. He is mentioned just 26 times in Genesis, primarily in chapters 13 and 19. We know that his father was Haran and that he joined the household of his uncle Abram and aunt Sarai after the death of his father (interestingly, it was one of Abram’s ...read more

    Fear - How To Overcome It?

     | 1,398 views

    How to live in an anxious world and yet have peace and joy in life? There are hundreds of reasons to be afraid. But only one reason not to be afraid that is our faith in God and our Lord Jesus Christ. There are two kinds of fear! One is Divine and the other is demonic!

    Fear is a painful emotion or passion caused by an expectation of evil or suspicion of impending danger. Fear manifests itself in many ways. Some of the more serious ways include panic attacks, which are defined as “sudden, brief episodes of intense fear”, and phobias, which are defined as ...read more

    God invited Moses to a campfire (a burning bush), but there was more in that meeting between God and Moses than you'd think.

    (The only lights in the sanctuary were those on stage, an there was a graphic of a burning campfire flickering on the screens) This morning we’re going to be worshipping around a campfire - and since the Elders wouldn’t let me burn an actual fire on stage, you’ll just have to put up with this ...read more
