     | 3,113 views

    Part 6 in a series on exploring "Faith". This message focuses on Peter and John going to worship and seeing (and seizing) the opportunity to share Jesus with a man who needed so much more than just material goods. It is in this act, that we should see o

    Faith in Action, Part 1 (Part 6) Acts 3:1-10 - When it comes to our faith, the most difficult thing often is putting it into action - What the Lord calls us to do is to act; to respond; to move – no matter the cause - Perhaps the most difficult is to respond to His calling; to move when ...read more

    God gives people time to respond to Him. And that’s why we are still here. He doesn’t just zap us out of existence. Even the plagues showed God’s patience in giving Pharaoh opportunity to change his mind.

    Exodus 9 - What does it take for the Lord to get your attention? In Exodus 9, Moses goes to Pharaoh again and says "Thus says the Lord, let My people go!" Pharaoh says "no!" and three more plagues come to Egypt, just as Moses predicts. Even though Egypt’s livestock die, and the people develop ...read more

    Some people are sell outs. They turn their backs on family and friends for opportunity or wealth. What's your price? Have you sold out or been sold out by friends unjustly? Jesus enters a town famous for its sell outs and offers forgiveness & salvation

    The View from Here LUKE 19:1-9 Joshua 2 Message: We are now in the third week of our journey with Jesus as He makes His way to Jerusalem to receive the agony and glory that await.

    The Power Of Jesus Name

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018
     | 10,154 views

    Miracles happen every day but all too often Jesus is not credited with them. It is time we took the offensive in our battle of faith and openly use the name of Jesus with every opportunity. Do you believe that by Jesus name miracles can and do occur?

    The Power of Jesus Name Acts 3:1-10 Message: Jesus is the most powerful name in all Eternity. Philippians 2:10 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, Jesus name was chosen by God the Father.

    Moving Forward For The Lord

     | 8,075 views

    How can we move forward for the Lord? 1. Be faithful to fulfill our responsibility (vs. 1-2). 2. Take advantage of every opportunity (vs. 1-3). 3. Fully trust in God's sovereignty (vs. 3-8).

    One Day At A Time

     | 6,333 views

    We often feel that we can’t be happy until we are in the “perfect place,” or God’s “perfect will.” If we wait around for the perfect moment, then we could miss those truly perfect opportunities. The perfect moment to serve is right now.

    I have entitled our message for this morning “One Day at a Time.” What I am going to share has to do with understanding God’s will for our life, and this is a subject matter that concerns each of us as believers. Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God, says that all you have to do find ...read more

     | 5,297 views

    The two parables here serve to caution us about slacking off in kingdom work. We need to keep our waist girded and be ready for service; and be alert and watchful at all times, so we don’t miss opportunities to share the love of Christ.

    This evening’s message is entitled “Always Remain Watchful,” and it’s taken from two short parables commonly called “The Parable of the Faithful and Evil Servant” and “The Parable of the Thief.” In these two short parables Jesus spoke a word about faithfulness; the kind of faithfulness that leads ...read more

    God's Covenant With Noah

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023

     | 1,821 views

    The flooding of the earth had accomplished its purpose. Noah and his family exited the Ark to witness the chaotic effects and consequences that the world's disobedience brought upon itself. This was a new opportunity for man to renew their relationship with God. Sadly, it did not last long.

    The Ark had kept Noah, his family, and the animals on board safe for over a year as the flood waters receded around the world, forever changing the geography, atmosphere, relations with the animal kingdom, and the life span of Noah's sons and wives, all commissioned by God to repopulate the ...read more

    Did you not know that Faith under attack gives an opportunity for our character to grow and mature? This message deals with the many trials we face in life and gives a biblical answer on how to meet them head on and become an overcomer with a peace that transcends them all.

     | 3,494 views

    In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, we discover that our weaknesses are not hindrances but opportunities for God's grace and power to shine. Let us embrace our vulnerabilities, boast in our weaknesses, find joy in adversity, and become sources of comfort to others.

    "Strength in Weakness: Embracing God's Grace" Introduction: Today, we delve into a profound message found in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NLT): "Each time he said, 'My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.' So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so ...read more

    Snakes And Thieves – Those Who Love The Dark Of Night! Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,273 views

    Snakes - sly, cunning, creatures of the night - these are considered and then we look at what snakes do well - thieves! We examine 7 passages of the New Testament to see the verses about "thief". We must also eradicate the opportunities given to the thief.

    SNAKES AND THIEVES – THOSE WHO LOVE THE DARK OF NIGHT! Years ago I used to keep some finches. In fact I had a lot of them. I loved those birds and looked after them well. They used to breed, and birds only do that when they are happy. My species were mainly Australian finches but about four or ...read more

    The late Steve McQueen sought an opportunity to speak with Billy Graham about his struggle that God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ. Nicodemus had a similar meeting when he spoke with Jesus about being born again.

     | 745 views

    Jeroboam had the opportunity to establish a great dynasty, but he chose fear over faith, idolatry over righteousness, and political survival over spiritual truth. His life is a cautionary tale of how leadership can be misused when one does not trust in God.

     | 1,170 views

    This is a message for anyone who feels like their failure has disqualified them from God’s plans. Through Peter’s story, we see that failure is not the end; it’s an opportunity for God to show His grace and call us into greater purpose.

    Expository Sermon: Restored to Lead Key Text: John 21:17 – “He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?’ Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’ And he said to Him, ‘Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.’ Jesus said to him, ...read more
