    based on 1 rating
     | 1,949 views

    How good if all fighting – disagreements, squabbles, arguments, conflicts and worse – ended because we understood the cost and consequences!

    “If your brother or sister sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If you are listened to, you have regained that one. … Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two ...read more

    Peace

    The principal reason people don’t have peace in their lives is because they don’t include God in solving their problems.

    Some time back the Gallup organization polled Americans about their most important criteria for judging personal success. They apparently gave them a list of 20 or 30 different options, and these were the top 5 results: 1- Good health 2- an enjoyable job 3- a happy family 4- A good education ...read more

    A lot of people like to have the title of Christian. Now I use the word title because they want it in name only.

    A lot of people like to have the title of Christian. Now I use the word title because they want it in name only. Know that to be a Christian you must meet this simple criterion: being a Christian refers to a person who follows or belongs to a religion based on the worship of one God and the ...read more

    Bad Decisions #1 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024
     | 874 views

    Waiting in times of struggle (either because of our own bad choices or God’s timing) is the ultimate action of faith.

    What to eat, what to wear, who to respond to first, what to prioritize at work — each of us makes hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions each day. Some of these choices have larger consequences than others. For starters, who we choose to surround ourselves with, where we live, who we worship, ...read more

    Isaiah’s prophecy is important because everything that happened to Jesus was a part of God’s plan. A plan for all people!

    INTRODUCTION - Last week, when we started this series, I said that the entire Bible was about Jesus. Sometimes, He sits under the surface of the page; other times, He is hidden between the lines, but this week, we will see Jesus jumping out of the page of the text. - Our text today will illuminate ...read more

    What Did You Get For Christmas?

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Dec 9, 2025
     | 153 views

    What we got because of Christmas is amazing we received salvation, hope, peace, love, and all Gods promises.

    Every Christmas morning, children rush to the tree with one question on their lips: “What did I get?” Their eyes sparkle as they tear open wrapping paper, eager to see what’s inside. But as believers, we ask a deeper question: “What did I get for Christmas?” Not from Santa, not from family—but from ...read more

    When Rights Are Wrong

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 29, 2025
     | 90 views

    Just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean that it is right for you to do it.

    Just because our Scripture reading for this week was 1 Kings doesn't mean that it was easy to decide what to preach on. It's so full of illustrations of the use and misuse of power that I could probably spend the whole month before moving on to 2 Kings, which is just as rich with examples ...read more

    Background and Introduction: We can change our world: [1] Because the church belongs to Christ. [2] Because the Word of God works. 1. We must stand on God’s Word. 2. We must stretch for His Word. 3. We must share His Word.

    We Can Change Our World! Acts 11:19-21 Grayson Baptist Church - Feb. 10, 2012 *I like what Mark Twain said about change many years ago: “The only person who likes change is a wet baby.” (1) *I like that saying, but it’s not always true is it? -- No. Some change is good!

    We are called by Christ Jesus to live for today, hope for tomorrow and rest on the promise that Christ is coming in His due time. We cannot fear the future because it is in God’s hands. We cannot fear today because it is in God’s hands. So live and wa

     | 16,794 views

    How good are you at sharing your faith? We want to share Christ with others because we know what the benefits are but more often than not we convince ourselves that it isn’t the right moment or I can’t talk about that again because they are fed up with me

    Have you noticed that Christians seem like some of the saddest people on earth? Why is that? Is it because they don’t have as much ‘fun’ as the world? Is it because they are under the guilt of not living up to the perfection of Jesus? I don’t think so…

     | 2,346 views

    What does it mean to be alive and kicking? It means that we are healthy and active. So, if we say that we are “alive and kicking” for God it means that we are healthy, active and strong our walk for God! It is because we have a kind of hope that keeps us alive – it is because of our “living hope”.
