     | 78 views

    God continually leads us in victory, spreading Christ’s transforming presence through us, even in weakness, so that others experience the hope and fragrance of grace.

    Some weeks feel like we’re pushing a grocery cart with a wobbly wheel through a crowded store—everything leaning sideways, squeaking loudly, and refusing to go where we want. And yet, here we are, gathered in grace, held by the hand of a God who never loses a battle and never misplaces a child. ...read more

    When you stand before God He isn’t going to ask you how you did compared to the person in the pew next to you...However, He is going to say: DID YOU DO THE VERY BEST YOU COULD WITH WHAT I GAVE YOU TO DO IT WITH WHERE YOU WERE?

    TEXT: Matthew 25:14-30 TITLE: HAVE I DONE MY VERY BEST? After reading verse 18 make the following comment: The tragedy of the man with the one talent is not that he had only one talent but he didn’t use the one talent he had.

    I Belong To The Lord, Body And Soul!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,318 views

    JB Phillips translates Luke 1:38 like this, ’I belong to the Lord, body and soul. Let it happen as you say.’ Mary’s response of simple, humble faith challenges us to respond positively to the Lord’s call. How will we respond when he next calls us?

    When God first called you what was your response? When God next calls you to something new, something different, what will be your response? The key to this Bible reading is Mary’s response of obedience. “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary said. “May it be to me as you have said” (1:38). JB Phillips ...read more

    God's Sovereign Support In Dark Times (1 Samuel 21:10-15)

    David, the hero of Israel and God's chosen vessel to be the next king, came to a point in his life where all he had gained was now lost and forgotten. He hit rock bottom, yet God used this to show David that he needed to rely only on Him for support and strength.

    "David arose and fled that day from before Saul and went to Achish the king of Gath. The servants of Achish said to him, 'Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousand?' Now David ...read more

    God’s power and presence remain active today, inviting us to trust Him in hardship, pray boldly, and expect miracles even in ordinary moments.

    Some days faith feels thin as fog. You stand at the kitchen sink with a coffee cup and a knot in your stomach. You sit in the waiting room and study the floor tile as if it could talk back. You lie awake and watch the red glow of the clock turn minutes into miles. In moments like these, we need ...read more

    The Promise Is Received By Faith PRO Sermon

     | 76 views

    God’s promises are guaranteed by grace, not our strength; faith trusts and obeys even when we doubt, because grace secures what God has spoken.

    Some days faith feels like a full sail on a steady sea. Other days it feels like a flickering candle cupped in the wind. I think of you who walked in today carrying quiet questions. You who love Jesus and still wonder how His promises stand tall in a world that leans hard. You who have prayed for ...read more

    Many people don’t do what their doctors or counselors suggest. It’s a terrible mistake to treat Jesus in the same way. Whenever he gives advice it is for our healing. From now on we need to listen and do what our Wonderful Counselor says.

    Series Introduction: Part of our Christmas celebrations involves the giving of gifts. We exchange gifts most of the time because of our love for each other. Sometimes it’s out of a sense of obligation. The gift-giving tradition looks back to the first Christmas scene when the wise men brought ...read more
