    When Two Sinners Say I Do Series

    Contributed by Tim Diack on May 7, 2012
     | 5,424 views

    What's the biggest problem in your marriage? It's probably not what you think it is! If we desire God's best for our marriages, and indeed for any relationship, we need to understand what the root cause of the problems we experience really turns out to

    When Two Sinners Say, “I Do” - Luke 11:17 - May, 6, 2012 Series: After The Honeymoon - #4 [Ideas for this message came in part from Dave Harvey's book entitled "When Sinners Say I Do" - I highly reccomend it for any couple!] You have probably heard the story of the hillbilly who ...read more

    Doing Life Together

    This thought came to me- “It’s nice to think that as I teach or preach that every person will get it and grow together, but that wasn’t Jesus’ way, nor the apostles way. Why would we be any different?”

    Doing Life Together James 1:22NKJ There is the story of William Pitt, 1759-1806, British statesman and Prime Minister from 1783-1801, who once sought to expedite a crucial agreement in Parliament for the movement of the British fleet to defend against the French. The ...read more

    Luke 7:11-28 Did John Doubt?

    As I have been preparing this message I found that there are many bible scholars that think that verse 19 shows that John the Baptist begin to doubt that Jesus wasn't really the One that the O.T. scriptures foretold as Israel's Messiah. Remember John i

    Luke 7:11-28 Did John doubt? ~ GOOD NEWS- THE GOSPEL 1-26-13 Today I want to bring a few thoughts to do with the account that we read of in Luke 7:11-28. As I have been preparing this message I found that there are many bible scholars that think that verse 19 shows that ...read more

    Tenants, Taxes, And Eternity Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Sep 21, 2014
     | 5,158 views

    Man will only (ever) think of himself and what he can get out of God. It's important to realize that what our government asks for is different than what God requires of us. He requires us to obey Him, in EVERYTHING we do.

    Tenants, Taxes, and Eternity Mark 12:1-27 - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” - Jesus’ teachings, while difficult for some to deal with, are always timely -- God always allows us to hear from Him at just the right time - Tonight I’d like to give ...read more

    We Need To Commend Ourselves More Often.

     | 4,893 views

    Do we deserve God's commendation for our services to him. Well based on Paul's converts at Thessalonica, I would say we do, because we love to serve the Lord in an age where it is unpopular and irrelevant, and to think of others before our ourselves.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 19th October 2014 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Summary: Do we deserve God's commendation for our services to him. Well based on Paul's converts at Thessalonica, I would ...read more

    Fear God

     | 5,980 views

    The prophesy in 2 Sam. 12:11 is fulfilled here. The calamity from God to David's household was just, destructive and unstoppable for who can stop an angry God? No one. So the point is to fear God and to think twice before intentionally sinning against God

    Fear God 2 Samuel 13 Introduction: 2 Samuel 12:11 says, “This is what the Lord says: out of your own household I am going to bring calamity on you” (NIV). Now this calamity is happening in chapter 13. In this chapter the emphasis of this calamity in David’s household as ...read more

    What we ought to be doing is saying... Father I Thank You and not only Thank You, but I also Praise You.. for doing exceedingly more and going abundantly beyond whatever I can ever think or imagine, to supply all my needs

    Thanksgiving..."What A Privilege" Some years ago, the cartoonist pictured Charlie Brown bringing out Snoopy’s dinner on Thanksgiving Day, but it was just his usual dog food in a bowl. So, Snoopy took one look at the dog food and said, “This isn’t fair. The rest of the world ...read more

    Childlike Prayer Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 28, 2016
    based on 15 ratings
     | 28,751 views

    A lot of people think if they just had the right "formula" for praying that God would hear them. But that's not true. God's not impressed with your form, He's impressed with your childlike faith in prayer. So, how can I have that kind of faith in prayer?

    I'd like you to recite the Lord’s Prayer with me: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, ...read more

     | 5,943 views

    The power of God, when displayed, can cause the deepest doubt to erase. It can bring to life even the most bitter of hearts; cause faith to be birthed. When Lazarus was raised, how do you think it grew the Disciples faith? How about yours?

    Life over Death John 11:1-44 Several promises in today’s passage … excellent faith builder Read John 11:1-44 / Pray Point 1 - Jesus is our Friend (1-16) Jesus receives word that Lazarus is sick; intimacy of relationship in v3 But, Jesus gives a promise (v4); shows His thinking is far ...read more

    Can Faith Fix Anything? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 1, 2015
    based on 15 ratings
     | 42,667 views

    Can faith fix anything? If something does NOT happen the way think it should, is because you didn't have enough faith? Consider the difference between Biblical faith and the teachings of those who would make us doubt God's faithfulness in prayer.

    OPEN: It has always impressed me how many great hymns have been based upon various Scriptures. As I was thinking about our text this morning I read I John 5:4 where it says “this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith” and I recognized an old popular hymn. Does ...read more

    Have you ever had your world rocked like Caiaphas? You know where you think you've got everything under control and then wham life sucker punches you? This is the emotion of Good Friday. But Easter has a counter punch.

    INTRODUCTION - “What do you mean GONE!” These are the words of Caiaphas in the new TV Series titled AD, but they are also the words of the women when they came to the tomb. They are also the words of the disciples when the women report their findings. Truthfully, they are still our ...read more

    I want to increase your worship capacity today. I want to energize your personal worship experience. I think that’s what’s going to happen today as we look at Genesis 1. That your personal worship will grow and increase.

    Well today is an exciting day for us because we’re starting a new study. This new study is in the book of Genesis. What I’ve tried to do in this study is I want us to go back to our roots. So if we understand the book of Genesis it can help us so much as we’re moving through just the rest of the ...read more

    Why We Are Here

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021
     | 4,337 views

    I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

    The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more

    We all want to be happy. We do not know of anyone who in his right mind would purposely do things which they know will make them unhappy. It is safe to assume that everyone pursues a path which they think will ultimately lead them to happiness

    The Fact Of Scripture Over The Words Of Fools

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,292 views

    In 1910, evangelist Dr. R.A. Torrey presented a series of revival messages, that are still powerful in their ability to make people think about their souls and the need for a Savior. This is a revision of one of those messages given before an audience in Edwardian England, still relevant today.

    The Scriptures do not soothe ruffled feelings nor do they strengthen egos devoid of belief in or trust of God. An atheist is, in God's eyes, a FOOL (Psalm 14:1). Human pride and self-centeredness are roadblocks we set up with help from the enemy of our souls to deafen and blind ourselves to ...read more
