     | 7,946 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).

    The Power Of Jesus Name

     | 10,082 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.

     | 2,195 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

    One Day At A Time

     | 6,199 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.

     | 5,202 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 has givin us an awesome opportunity to become His child. We are now children of light. What does this mean? How do we play this out in our lives? Paul gives us some examples in his letter to the Ephesian church.

    Living as children of Light: Open hearts Ephesians 4:17-19 To live as children of light means I. We live as though God _were are Father_ Ephesians 4:17 a.

    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.

    NICK AT NIGHT Text: John 3:1-17 A famous actor by the name of Steve McQueen was much like the characters that he portrayed on screen. He was successful until alcohol and a failed marriage left him empty and broken. He attended a crusade led by one of Billy Graham’s ...read more

    Theme for coming year: 15 Be very careful, then, how you live-- not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. (Ephesians 5:15-17).

    A Fresh Start!

     | 601 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.

    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.
