    Is it not true that people who speak volumes at the altar and surrender their lives turn utter cold shortly after the heat of the meeting subsides?? Despite hearing million sermons, people Go their own way, anyways….

    I will go my OWN way... anyways… Jeremiah 42:2"Please let our petition come before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, that is for all this remnant; because we are left but a few out of many, as your own eyes now see us,” With lot of expectations, during my initial days after ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 14,692 views

    We are each called to serve one another out of the love for the Lord, not the praise of people.

    Introduction Have this ever happened to you: You went what you thought was out of your way to do something for someone and your efforts went completely unnoticed? They simply took what you’ve done for granted. Have you ever done a good deed and not been thanked or recognized? Worse, have you ever ...read more

    God's Grace Is For Us! Series

     | 2,168 views

    With the grace we have received from the Lord we are to offer it to the world. As children of God, His ambassadors and royal priests, may we forgive our enemies and share the good news with the lost so that in seeing the Light within us they too might cry out Abba, Father please save us!

    God’s Grace is For Us! Genesis 50:14-20; Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 12:27; Acts 2:44; Romans 12:1; Joshua 1:9b Do you believe that God is always working for your good and for His glory? While no one is righteous (Romans 3:10-18), our hearts are above all are deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9), and like ...read more

     | 13,404 views

    You never seem to hear about people saying they are afraid of Jesus but truth is not only were people afraid of Jesus when he was born but millions are still afraid of him today.

    Jesus. What Child is This? Part 1- Many Are Afraid- Herod’s Fear Matthew 2:1-18 One of the most interesting emotions I think humans experience is fear. It’s an emotion that goes up and down all the time. Sometimes we love it and look for it (movies, roller coasters, extreme sports) and sometimes ...read more

    Be Careful What You Pray For

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 3,285 views

    We have to remind many people to pray because the devil will see to it that our lives are filled with people and things so we do not have time to even think about praying.

    But some of us do not have to be reminded because there are all kinds of emergencies that come up each day that remind us to pray.

    A nation is more than just the walls but the people. For the people to be a people of God, they need to return to the worship of God. 2 things we learn from this chapter, that we need to take note of: (1) watch our character, and (2) remember our identi

    It means that for people who call God their God and for people who claim Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior; we have no options when it comes to love because we must act in love and have compassion for all people in all situations no matter the circu

     | 7,171 views

    Jesus is someone who makes people's days and also makes people's lives. He uses believers to do these things and we can be Daymakers and Lifemakers for those around us too. We need to get back to the basics of being good and kind to people.

    Be A Lifemaker Last Thursday night at the company where Diane works (Turner Machine Co.) they had an open house for employees and their spouses to talk about the state of the company and where they were headed in the near future.

    We co-exist with evil people in the world because God is the only one who rightly judges people... God alone sees all of a person's life. And who knows... do we not believe that people can repent and become new creatures in Christ?

    Servant Evangelism

    Contributed by Larry Grant on May 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,104 views

    Tabitha stands as the Biblical model of “servant evangelism." What makes this form of evangelism so authentic, is that it has the ability to touch people that nobody else can reach. Humble service. This is what draws people to you; that is what draws people to the Christ in you.

    A Song With A Sharp Rebuke Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 27, 2022
     | 2,631 views

    It has been called a Trojan horse song because it seems like it will be a love song between God and His people. Isaiah gets the attention of God’s people with this song. The people listened to and loved the song only to find they themselves are the scoundrel referred to in this song.

    Songs are used for many purposes. There are love songs, worship songs even political protest songs. Isaiah who I think we could call the “singing prophet” composed an unusual song here. Once you have listened to the whole song you realize it is not what you first expected. It has been called a ...read more

    The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,551 views

    The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

    A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more

     | 2,561 views

    Christians are a diverse group of people, even within a particular denomination, people are still different. We are different in culture, race, age, social status, skill, and personality. The only thing that can bring unity among such people is the movement of God's Spirit.

    Today let's talk about what it means to be unified in Christ. Christians are a diverse group of people, even within a particular denomination, people are still different.
