    Is our world restricted to what we can see? What if there was another dimension? Activity . . . but we only catch glimpses. We need to open our eyes and see the unseen.

    I. Introduction Out of sight . . . out of mind can be more than just a statement about forgetfulness. It can also be a dangerous and costly spiritual condition. I can remember growing up hearing this statement about church folks . . . "They are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly ...read more

    Somebody once said that life was like an onion: you can peel off one layer at a time but as you do so, its juice gets into your eyes and causes your eyes to be filled with tears. There is something that is known as the trouble of life. I read a comment by

    POWER TO TROUBLE YOUR TROUBLE Dr. D. K. Olukoya Psalm 46:1-11:, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

    The eye is a lamp unto the soul. What we think about, speak of and act upon matters. If our eyes are not focused on the kingdom of God then our souls will remain distant from God!

    Watch What You See

    Today, we are posed with the question of seeing. If for example God will remove 4 out 5 of your senses and will keep your sight, what are the things that you will see? Who would you continue pleasing?

    “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” –Antoine de Saint-Exupery Our discussion is very much close to the quote of Antoine de Saint-Exupery on his book The Little Prince. Today, we are posed with the question of seeing. If ...read more

    God gives each of us gifts by His Holy Spirit. Some gifts are special blessings while others may be special talents. These gifts are different for each of us, but they all have one thing in common. They must be unwrapped and opened or they have no valu

    My sermon today is the first of two sermons I’ve planned and entitled, “Serving Up God’s Miracles.” On the last day of school, children were bringing gifts to their teacher.

    Heaven's Open Door Policy

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 3, 2025
     | 353 views

    The Bible says you can open up your innermost thoughts and just spill them out on the ground before Jesus. He’s not going to look at you like, “Oh gross!” He’s not going to laugh at you or mock you.

    We are beginning the new year by praying together as a church. Maybe you are not sure of yourself when it comes to prayer. If prayer were a high school sport, you’re not sure you’d receive a “letter” on your varsity jacket for prayer. Many of you have picked up the little book, 21 Days of Prayer. ...read more

    Sermon: John 9: Sight for the Blind Imagine being blind. I don’t think you and I can really imagine that. Unless you’ve felt it, you probably have no idea.

    John saw and open door into Heaven. Jesus has swung wide the door to Heaven for all who do as John did and "Come Up Hither".

    GOD HAS AN OPEN DOOR FREEDOM! Isn’t that a wonderful sounding word? The full meaning of freedom is more than we can comprehend and often taken for granted until freedom is lost. Words can never describe the wonderful feeling of being set from bondage that limits our ability to enjoy life to the ...read more

    If you want a message that’s got humor, a good message, and it will “preach,” this one’s for you. It’s an unusual healing by Jesus.

    In our cynical world today, it's hard to trust anyone. All the institutions have been shown to be engaged in fraud, lying, and deception. But we can trust the Word of God and the God who gave us that Word.

    Open Tomb, Closed Case Text: John 20:1-29 So we just celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
