    Making A Difference 1 Of 2

    Notice these words, “And of some have compassion MAKING A DIFFERENCE…”

    Some can live their entire life and never make any difference in a positive way. For example, God can leave some people on this earth for 90 or 100 years, and when they die, their life has made very little DIFFERENCE! Illus: God let Methuselah live on this earth for 969 years, and the only thing ...read more

    Making A Difference 2 Of 2

     | 2,583 views

    Tonight we want to look again at HOW WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH OUR LIFE.

    Notice again, these words, “And of some have compassion MAKING A DIFFERENCE…” There are some folks that have deep feelings for the things of God. That word “compassion” here has to do with WORDS and ACTIONS. You can tell some people love the Lord by the way they TALK and LIVE. • The Pastor can ...read more

    Mold Me And Make Me

    This message looks at Jeremiah's imagery of God as the Potter. If we fail to submit to the Potter and remain in His hands, then the Lord will stop shaping us and let us alone. But when He lets us alone, we are in a very fragile state!

    There is a well-known hymn entitled, “Have Thine Own Way.” The first line of this hymn says, “Have Thine own way, Lord! . . . Thou art the potter, I am the clay! Mold me and make me after Thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still.”(1) When Adelaide Pollard wrote the words to this hymn she ...read more

    What Makes Us Uncomfortable

    Contributed by Richard Stevens on Oct 18, 2023
     | 1,873 views

    There are people and situations that make us uncomfortable. Rather than avoiding those people or situations, what should be our response to them? How should we handle them? Fortunately, we have an example in the Gospel of Luke to guide us.

    INTRODUCTION In my opinion, I think we can boil those that make us uncomfortable down to, basically two kinds of people - CRAZY people and NAKED people. In Luke 8:26-39, we see that Jesus met a man who was both. CRAZY and NAKED. “ And they arrived at the country of the ...read more

    What Makes A Great Mother

    Contributed by Matt Skiles on Jun 12, 2023
     | 1,550 views

    Giving birth does not make a woman a mother. It takes a special woman to be a mother. A mother is a person who is willing to take the responsibility of investing her life into another human being who is totally de-pendent upon her to do so:

    Proverbs 31:29-30-“Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.” 30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Luke 2:1-7-“And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be ...read more

    I want to ask each Christian today two questions:

    (1) Can the children of God sin? Yes! (2) Can the children of God sin and get away with it? No! Did you know the children of God are just as capable of sinning as they were before they were saved? We have an excellent example of that in the life of King David. WHO WAS KING DAVID? If all the ...read more

    This Easter, see and hear the way God has made for you. As we enter this time celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, which the world calls Easter, we see this theme of God making a way for humanity to live in His presence for all eternity in heaven.

    Have you ever walked into a room and immediately wondered, “Do I belong here?”

    A lot of people today walk into churches wondering: “Would I be welcome here?” “If they knew my past… my struggles… my doubts… would I still belong?” Sadly, sometimes the Church has made it harder than it should be to answer confidently, “Yes, you belong.” This isn’t a new problem. In Acts 15, the ...read more
