    The concept of hope as set forth in Isaiah 9:1-7 shows us that just as God dispelled the darkness at creation, so he will bring light into a world made dark by sin and unbelief.

    Scripture Tonight is Christmas Eve. During Advent, I have preached a series of messages on the Old Testament Scripture Readings that I am calling, “Advent in Isaiah.” In about 740 BC God called Isaiah to be a minister of his Word to Jerusalem and the southern kingdom of Judah.

    Jesus seems discouraged in His conversation with the LORD. God's answer shows us the light.

    1.19.20 Isaiah 49:1-7 Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name. 2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a ...read more

    Is it just me or do you think like me that this world is messed up? People are just angry with one another nowadays. We have lost our ability to tolerate each other. We have lost our ability to accept a viewpoint that is different than ours.

But from the little research that I did, he isn’t the record holder for DUI arrests ...read more

    The Resurrection: The King Is Alive Series

    Contributed by Russ Barksdale on Apr 10, 2019
     | 6,811 views

    You ask me what is the most important feature or belief of the Christian faith, and I will say without a doubt, it is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Disprove it, and the entire belief system disintegrates.

    The Resurrection Mark 16:1-7 The King is Alive John 3:16: “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever will believe in Him will not perish, but have everlasting and eternal life.” 1 Peter 3:18: “For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the ...read more

    The world is covered by a cloud of spiritual darkness. God sent his only begotten son, Jesus as the light of the world; but men loved darkness because of their evil deeds.

    TEXT: 1 Peter 2:9 (NLT) "But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light." Do you know that as a ...read more

     | 5,944 views

    This sermon examines 1 Samuel 3:1-20, the story of Samuel and Eli, and gives lessons on, what defined them, as a dying priesthood, and a rising prophet. These lessons can be applied to our Churches, and lives today, which can result in what spiritual impact we will have on today's world.

    AWAKE OR SLEEPING 1 Samuel 3:1-20 In our text we see a transition from a Priesthood who had taken God for granted, to a rising Prophet, who would awaken a Nation. From Eli to Samuel. Eli means to ascend or "lofty". There are two ways to look at him, as a Priest he was called to ascend ...read more

    ... In The Heart

    The heart of man is the meeting point of the forces to slog it out and man struggles to hold back the forces from the dark world but the Grace of God is sufficient to renew the attacked heart.

    I. It is a fact that the heart is the source of power. In medical perspective, it is the pumping station of blood to the body/flesh. The power is in the blood and in the blood is life (Leviticus 17:11). And the scripture describes the heart as place that accommodate the issues of life (Proverbs ...read more
