    We must learn to use our will as an offensive weapon against satan. We must daily take authority over our will & conform it to God’s will. We must be willing to say, “My will is no longer my own”. Daily you must dedicate your will to doing the will of God

    Luke 11:2 (NKJV) 2So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

    Matthew kicks off his Gospel with his genealogy, because he wants everyone (including us today) to know that Jesus is the Christ, the son of David... the King! And as King Jesus has - the authority to speak, the power to rule, the desire to include and the right to reward.

    The Coming Of The King Matthew 1:1-17 OKAY MG – welcome to church!

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,140 views

    Faithful devotion to the Lord is not a one-time decision; it's a daily choice to serve Him alone, fear Him, obey His commands, and listen to His voice. In a world filled with distractions and idols, may we be known as people who cling to our loving and faithful God.

    Faithful Devotion to the Lord Introduction: Begin with a warm welcome to the congregation and introduce the key verse: Deuteronomy 13:4 (NLT) - "Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him." Share the context of this verse, ...read more

     | 7,519 views

    Jesus was often judged harshly by the religious authorities in his day. The Pharisees and the scribes believed wrongly that he was condoning the sins of people whose company he shared. Instead Christ came to make of them "new creations" (2 Cor. 5:17).

    “Turning Complaints into a Celebration” Luke 15:1-10, Proper 19-C September 11, 2016 “Grumble”: It’s an interesting word isn’t it? And here we find it in the second verse of our Gospel lesson today. “And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying: ...read more

    Funeral message for Mrs. Julia Hamilton, the mother of several accomplished sons. A "lovely light" (of Millay’s poem) is one which reveals truth, shares light in the household, and looks to God as the author of all light.

    The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ... I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. The Lord is my light – and on this dismal day, when outside the rain continues to fall, and ...read more

    During the time that Jesus walked the earth, people placed angels in high position relative to the Lord. With Jesus Christ now being preached as the sole way to heaven, the author of Hebrews had to convince the people that Christ was superior.
