    Changed By The Spirit Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Dec 15, 2021
     | 2,828 views

    For Ebeneezer Scrooge to change his ways, he had to be visited by three spirits. He had to be shown the ugliest and selfishness of his heart. It’s a story about transformation. That’s what sums up the Christmas Story. That’s what sums up the reason for God sending us His Son.

    INTRODUCTION: Christmas time! My favorite time of year. One of my favorite Christmas stories is “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. It’s a story about a greedy, grumpy old man named Scrooge who hated Christmas and everything about it. Scrooge lived for his money, but his money brought him ...read more

    Business As Usual

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Jan 3, 2011
     | 15,244 views

    We can get so caught up in our daily lives that we truly don't discern what God's Will is.

    Jesus had essentially one sermon. Everything He did and said revolved around that one message which was "the kingdom of God is at hand." He reminded those who exercised power of any kind on earth that they did not have the last word. He informed them that with His coming and in His person ... God ...read more

    Nick At Night Series

     | 2,170 views

    If you want to see the Kingdom of God, you must be born again, the Son of Man must be lifted up, and you must believe.

    Through his humor, Bill Waterson has a way to make you think about life. He’s the author of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips; and some time ago, he drew Calvin (a little boy) hurtling down a snowy slope on a sled with his friend Hobbes (a tiger). Calvin: I'm getting nervous about ...read more

    Message 5 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 – Walk To Please God And The Rapture Teaching – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 29, 2022
     | 1,403 views

    Paul urges the believers to live correctly for the Lord and gives some practical points. Because a few had died, Paul comforts the church with the truth of the Rapture, a teaching sadly neglected by most. It is the glorious hope.

    MESSAGE 5 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4 – WALK TO PLEASE GOD AND THE RAPTURE TEACHING – PART 2 We will continue in this chapter and will consider the second Part. Paul has been speaking to these believers about living in persecution and how their lives should be lived. Earlier in the book he told ...read more

    What Would Jesus Do - denying oneself and taking up the cross by placing the spiritual and basic needs of others over your own

    Like most you, I was raised in a Christian home. My parents took me to church on Sundays and most Wednesday nights. I participated in Vacation Bible School, church choir and youth activities. I was baptized when I was twelve. I do not remember my baptism. I guess I must of felt something ...read more

    Every believer is uniquely gifted and essential to the church; God values and uses each person’s contribution to build up the body of Christ.

    If you’ve ever felt like the spare part in a drawer full of useful tools, this word is for you. If you’ve wondered, “Do I really belong? Do I matter here?” the answer from heaven’s heart is yes. You matter to God, and you matter to us. The church is a living, breathing body. Christ is the Head. And ...read more

    based on 94 ratings
     | 20,187 views

    For All Saints/All Souls: the Lord has the keys to the church, so we need not fear its future despite our locking up its resources; and He has the keys to our lives, so we need not lock ourselves in privacy; and He has the keys of eternal life.

    Keys. I have keys. Lots and lots of keys. Thanks to keys, we can keep safe the things we consider valuable. But we are also kept from access to those things. Keys; we all have them, we all need them, we all appreciate them, but we all resent them at times. If you don’t have the right keys, ...read more

    We need to get the family back on track and to do that fathers have to rise up to the challenge to be the men of God they need to be for their families, communities and churches

    When I say, “It’s time to build” you automatically have a picture in your mind of what that means. Some people thought of construction and things along the lines of assembling materials and putting up a structure. Others probably thought about strengthening our church. Some may have moved to the ...read more

    Luke and Acts give us a great look at the ascension. How Jesus handled Himself for 40 days before He was taken up! Powerful!

    -We Are Acts. Luke 24:44-53 The first four books of the New Testament are commonly called the gospels. The fifth book, The Acts of the apostles, is tied to Luke by common authorship. So Luke wrote the gospel of Luke, and the book of Acts. That is important, because Luke gives us two accounts of ...read more
