    No matter what you are going through, God will reward you for going through the difficult times and stuggles of life. He Will Give You Double For Your Trouble

    Introduction: In our world today the Christian circle is suffering. Christians suffer because of who that are in Jesus Christ. Pastors are under attack because of who they are in Jesus the Christ. Suffer, just what does that mean? Webster’s dictionary says that suffer is to feel pain: to ...read more

    Jesus teaches us to pray that we are not tempted.

    A guy had a dream he had went to heaven and saw many clocks. As is customary with these stories St. Peter is attending the gate. When asked what the clocks were for Peter replied that every person on earth has a clock here, and each time one sins, the hand on their clock moves just a bit. The ...read more

    Dead Mules Don't Work

    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,696 views

    Too many Christians settle for being forgiven and fail to recognize that dead sinners do not disobey God. We can live in obedience because we are alive to God and dead to sin.

    My purpose is to be the Holy Spirit’s second witness calling God’s people in my care to surrender their lives to Jesus and to live in obedience to him. Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will surrender their lives to God in prayer – at the altar rail if they want to prayer ...read more

    The first of Three 2006 Advent Sermons

    (1) Last year I heard an incredible song that was the background to a house whose lights were set to this song. Those of us who have e-mail probably received it at least once last season.

    On his way to face the giant Goliath, David picked up five smooth stones from a brook. But David stood up to Goliath with more than just simple weapons; he defeated Golliath with F-A-I-T-H and trust in God.

    Making Sacrifices

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 27, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,098 views

    Be willing to make sacrifices for God and be blessed. When we give of ourselves, God’s will can be fulfilled. Ask, what does God expects from us today?

    We tend to position ourselves on the receiving end, and ask God for His blessings. • Surely He loves us and we know He will bless us and help us through life. • We need also to see ourselves on the ‘giving’ end, and offer to God what He expects from us. It’s good to get the right perspective. • ...read more

    Eighth in a series taken from Ephesians 1, this series delves into the riches that we know through our relationship with Christ.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder… Show personal “artifacts” (at this point, I displayed a number of personal items that had great value to me, but which would have no value to anyone else); “the fair market value of these items is about 2 cents, give or take…" To you?

    The 23rd Psalm is one of the most beloved in all of Scriptures, especially of those with a few miles on the odometer of life. I suspect that the older a person gets the more he falls in love with the psalm. I think I know why!

    Three basics for living the Christian life from the Book of James - Be Teachable, Live a moral life, and embrace the Word of God.

    I’ve got to be honest with you -- I hate following instructions. If at all possible, I’d rather try to figure things out for myself than look at an instruction manual. I think it’s a guy thing. But it’s true. And it doesn’t really matter what it is. It can be setting the clock on the VCR, figuring ...read more
