    The Storm Of Fear Series

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Feb 8, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,726 views

    Why does God allow storms in our lives? To teach us that we need Him every day and every hour of our lives. Storms don't just gradually, progressively come. "Thus saith God, 'a storm is coming to you'". Storms happen just like that, like lightning out of a blue sky.

    Two Kinds Of Wildernesses

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 24, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,224 views

    Do you feel like you're in the wilderness with no way out? This message looks at two possible reasons why someone might wind up there, by examining both the “sin-driven wilderness” and “Spirit-driven wilderness.”

    The wilderness is a place that captures the imagination and stirs the soul. Native Americans, for example, will journey into the wilderness on a vision quest; thrill seekers will flock to the mountains and remote places in search of adventure; those who are overworked will retreat there for peace ...read more

    The Answer To World Peace

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 30, 2023
     | 1,360 views

    Why is there such an interest in world peace? It is because of the atrocity of war and the devastation it brings. What is the answer? Is there one? Yes! There is an answer.

    Alba 5-28-2023 THE ANSWER TO WORLD PEACE Ephesians 4:17-32 This is Memorial Day weekend. Why do we call it “Memorial Day?”... It is a day to "remember" those who have sacrificed for us so that we could continue to have the freedoms established by the founders of our country. Memorial ...read more

    There is a Holy Ghost vaccination against fear, worry, anxiety, stress and all the rest. It is an injection of trust. Get your dose of hope today.

    I want to speak to some things today, and bring some encouragement from the word. Because I heard the Lord saying that he wanted to inject some faith into his people. We are so inundated and saturated with nothing but bad news, and confusion, and it creates feelings of hopelessness, and stress, and ...read more

    "Christmas Is For-Giving”

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 8, 2024

     | 987 views

    We need to forgive for our own health and wellbeing. Like thanksgiving, forgiveness is one of the healthiest things we can do. Medical science has found that unforgiveness upsets our body’s chemical makeup taking us from heights of euphoria to depths of depression.

    The Giving of Christmas “Christmas is For-Giving” Watch on YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvb6if8Lh9Q Last week we looked at the first giving of Christmas, which was “Thanks-Giving,” and that’s because even the holiday of Thanksgiving comes before Christmas.

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 5:12-15 - Message 19 – Freedom Brings Extra Responsibility – How To Love One Another, And Christian Cannibalism Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 21, 2024
     | 832 views

    Salvation brings freedom, but is that freedom a licence to sin? Paul uses strong language against the false teachers. We look at serving one another in love and what that means, and finish with considering “Christian cannibalism”.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 5:12-15 - MESSAGE 19 – FREEDOM BRINGS EXTRA RESPONSIBILITY – HOW TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AND CHRISTIAN CANNIBALISM Galatians is a powerful book. Perhaps in this letter Paul’s emotions and spirit are turned over more than in any other letter as he combats the false ...read more

     | 575 views

    It is hard to have an impact on people if we don't have a relationship with them. Jesus, Matthew and Paul show us how to have a spiritual impact through relationships.

    Introduction: A. One day a rabbi and a priest got into a head on collision with each other. 1. The damage to both cars was considerable, but amazingly neither of the clerics was hurt. 2. After they crawl out of their cars, the rabbi saw the priest’s collar and said, “I see that you’re a priest, ...read more

    Root Of Bitterness (Two Responses On The Shelf)

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Aug 13, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 516 views

    Anger, guilt and grief, are they sin? If left out of the cage they could be. Yet there is a human emotion that is always, without out exception, a sin - Bitterness. Bitterness and unforgiveness are always linked and are always sin. And there are only two responses on the shelf.

    Has someone ever said something ... or done something to you ... which you found ... difficult ... to forgive? Every time you hear their name, ... even if the incident happened years ago ... still brings uneasiness ... to your soul. It is ... as though you were reliving the event ... all ...read more

    A Church Built On Christ Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2024
     | 1,558 views

    Just what is it that makes a church authentic? The greatest challenge that we find as we try to follow Jesus is dedicating ourselves to the truth of the Scripture in a culture that tends to base their lives on their own opinions instead of on the truth of God's word.

    I don't think I need to tell any of you that our church is going through a new phase. We are about to enter into a new stage of growth for this church beginning in January. I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more
