    Jesus offers freedom from our past and from our bondages. We don’t have to make peace with our chains and just get used to them, because Jesus came to set free those who are captive! You can grow! You can and should move forward in your faith!

    Relentless Living! Philippians 3:7-16 7… whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

    A message encouraging Christians to remain faithful to God

    NEGLECTING OUR SALVATION Hebrews 2:1-4 INTRO: We are all familiar with these verses of scripture just read, and we immediately apply them to a lost person when we hear them, and rightly so, because a lost person will not escape Hell if he neglects his salvation.

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Nov 12, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,718 views

    Faith is a journey into the unknown, guided by the trust and belief in God's plan for us. It's about leaving the comfort of the familiar for the promise of the unknown, and finding hope in God's promised future.

    Hey guys! Ever been on a road trip with no idea where you're headed? That's what our faith journey is like. It's like being on an epic adventure where the destination isn't always clear, and the path can be full of surprises. But we trust that God is our GPS, guiding us even when we're not sure ...read more

    Our opportunity for service may be in sight in a moment, and bypass us in another if we’re not ready to run to obedience. Philip ran to do God’s bidding.

    Following the Acts record it would appear that the newborn church had been pretty cozy and comfortable, up until the martyrdom of Stephen. It had begun with a very public demonstration of God’s power in the coming of the Holy Spirit, Peter and the others had boldly proclaimed their risen Lord ...read more

    Praying With Good King Hezekiah

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 21, 2021
     | 4,997 views

    Looking back on the last few months, do you feel like you’ve been praying more, or is it less? Is this a practice that has been strengthened with you, or has it struggled? Has the seeking become less diligent, or the knocking not so confident? A praying Christian is a living Christian!

    In Luke 11:9 Jesus says these words to us, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Simple commands, yet astonishing. For his words reveal the great privilege that we have when we pray. This is the heavenly power that we access whenever we ...read more

    Judah had embraced wickedness in their lives... but why? Did they just wake up one morning and say "I’m going to be wicked?"
