    We have all experienced failure like Samson. But do you feel your hair starting to grow back???

    The High Cost of Living Low Some are born to privilege, w/ many advantages, and can't seem to succeed, and then others are the opposite, born to nothing, and rise above it all to great success.

    Our Sonship

    Most Christians act just like people in the world. Why? Because they don't realize they're Sons of God, what that means, and what Christ has actually done in them! This message is a powerful revelation that can revolutionize a Christian's life.

    OUR SONSHIP 1 Jn. 3:2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Rabbis are notoriously stubborn individuals, by necessity. One day 4 Rabbis -- Bloom, Levy, Victor and Morris -- were having a theological argument. At the conclusion, they voted and it was 3 to 1, with Rabbi Victor being on the losing end. But Rabbi ...read more

     | 3,003 views

    This week, I’d like to pick up our study on how the Cities of Refuge resemble Jesus, how He is not only our sure refuge, but also how He is our judge, that is, our great High Priest. I’d also like to take a closer look at what Jesus rescues us from and is a refuge in, and what sort of refuge He is

    Our Place of Refuge (Part 2) Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHVs4uvp08 Last week, I began a two-part message talking about how Jesus is our refuge in these troublous times we find ourselves in. And the onus or burden of how He is our refuge came from the Old Testament example of how God ...read more

    This sermon shows the importance of remaining in the Lord for our spritual wellfare. To remain in Jesus we need to have the same life in us, as He did.

    The Evidence Of Salvation

    Contributed by Rick Kallstrom on Jan 28, 2003
    based on 67 ratings
     | 18,574 views

    What we do know is that the Bible teaches us very clearly that after a person has received salvation through Jesus that a change should take place in their lives. There should be visible evidence of their salvation!

    The most important decision that any of us has ever made, or will ever make in our lifetime, is to accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, and to receive salvation. God never wanted to have to send His Son to die for us, but He knew it was the only way. The Bible tells us in Jon ...read more

     | 3,138 views

    We automatically think about the devil when the word lion is mentioned in a message. Look a little closer and see who the lion really represents in the Scriptures.

    Is there a Lyin Lion? The Lion of Juda--The Real King Rev. 5:1-5 1 ¶ And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to ...read more

    In isolation the people of Jesus lose their fire and zeal, but in community we are strong. The church is designed by Jesus to be a place where we can be strong and stand firm.

    Message “A Supporting Community” My mother has a large property and there is a path that leads from the front to the back. It is completely surrounded by trees. At night it is a very scary place. It is absolutely dark, even when the moon is shining. When you go down that path by yourself ...read more
