     | 1,724 views

    In faith we tell God, “I believe this because you have revealed it for my good, even and especially when I can’t understand it.”

    Ascension Day 2021 “You’ve got to be kidding. This is impossible. It’s all impossible.” That’s what the skeptic is bound to say about everything we’ve been reading since Good Friday. Jesus was nailed to a cross, pierced in His heart, dead as the lambs being sacrificed at the same time in the ...read more

    Spirit Poured Out (Pentecost Sunday) Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on May 22, 2021
     | 6,282 views

    Pentecost worship is about joy, and the invitation is to let the Spirit be poured out on “you” is plural. It was because they were gathered together that this happened. This is a Devine hug of welcome and Joy.

    Sermon “What does this mean?” This is a story of the Spirit poured out—like water from a pitcher or from a hose. Yeah, from a hose, with a thumb pressed against the opening so it shoots across the yard and soaks the giggling, screeching children who are running with glee from the icy spray but ...read more

    Recently our church was accused of idolatry because we have a cross in our sanctuary and one in front of the church. Are our crosses idols? Can they be idols? Hmmm.....

    No Idols ... Just Give Me Jesus Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

    Spiritual Warfare

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021
     | 2,100 views

    We must band together as an army to fight the evil of Satan. Satan is roaming free in part because the church is so fractured that it cannot come together for this cause.

    The church interpretation of the feeding of the 5,000 in Mark 6:33-44 has always been about the miracle that only Jesus could take five loaves of bread and two fish and make it feed all those people. Unfortunately, this methodology of telling people the meaning of Scripture as black and white does ...read more

    Guilt By Association

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 2, 2021
     | 2,676 views

    Have you ever been deemed guilty of something only because of someone you know or a relative? This message examines that human trait and why it is a mistake to do.

    Guilt by association comes to mind when reading this narrative. Jesus was rejected as a teacher of the Word of the LORD because the culture of His day said so. The first point is that the people of the town He grew up in rejected him as a religious man because centuries of culture guided them. ...read more

    When we grow discouraged, we will be encouraged by the knowledge of what God has done and what He is doing in our lives because of Christ our Lord.

    “We have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of ...read more

    Where is the wealthiest place on earth? The Cemetery! Why the cemetery? Because in the cemetery are books that were never written, and cures that were never discovered. Money never spent.

    Die Empty – R. Neal Gracey May 5, 2019 Where is the wealthiest place on earth? The Cemetery! Why the cemetery? Because in the cemetery are books that were never written, and cures that were never discovered. The graveyard is filled with music, we’ve never heard. The cemetery is filled ...read more

    Works Or Not?

     | 1,572 views

    Doing good works is a very controversial topic among Christians, because they are either overemphasized or underemphasized. It’s hard to find the balance, but the scriptures are the best help.

    Doing good works is a very controversial topic among Christians, because they are either overemphasized or underemphasized. It’s hard to find the balance, but the scriptures are the best help, if we’ll listen to them instead of blindly accepting the prejudices of men. There are several factors to ...read more

    Caleb, one of the twelve spies which Moses sent into Canaan, was a very worthy man because he followed the Lord fully (Deuteronomy 1:34-36).

    Introduction. There are many Old Testament people that are distinguished by imperfections such as Samson, Solomon, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Aaron. Yet there are a few whose lives were exceptionally godly such as Enoch, Samuel, and Daniel. Caleb, one of the twelve spies which Moses sent into ...read more

    Stepping Into The Grace Of God.

     | 6,883 views

    What is grace? Grace is an unmerited favour; it is kindness from God that we do not deserve. We enjoy God’s grace because He is a merciful God.

    4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the ...read more

    The shadow of God is much more safer than the reality of this world. The world struggles against an unseen virus because it fails to put its trust in the unseen God.

(WEB) As we continue this study on Psalm 91, we will explore the word ‘shadow’ as mentioned in Psalm 91:1. Those who live in hot places will understand the ...read more

    Every leader must remain spiritually alert—because the end of one battle does not mean the end of all warfare. After victory comes the responsibility of vigilance.

     | 2,880 views

    Paul prayed at least 5 prayers for believers. These prayers are extremely important because they were inspired by the Holy Spirit and capture the will of God for our transformation into the image of Christ.

    PAUL’S PRAYER REQUESTS INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: EVIDENCE 1. A scientist recently said that the “perfect earthquake” was going to strike the West Coast soon. The evidence to support his claim was shaky at best. 2. Someone threw a part of a brick through a man’s front window. The police couldn’t ...read more
