     | 12,386 views

    Too often we allow our painful past to hold us hostage to the moment of our pain. We are hurt or offended and are seriously challenged to move past the pain to a place of wholeness. It is only from a place of wellness that we can complete God's purpose

    Hear the Word - Momentarially committed – then we get distracted We find ourselves in the same place…stuck for years (gossip, unforgive, complain) Jezebel - Lazy - read the bible - sleep vs. SMBS – watch TV vs. praying…excuses, lie vs. the truth… We know we need to ...read more

    You Only Have to Die Luke 9:51-56 What would you do if you only had one month to live? Would any of your priorities change?

    When opposition comes, like Isaac, persevere by remembering the promises of God until even your enemies recognize God’s presence in your life. Or to put it more simply: trust God and dig another well.

    On Saturday, May 21, 1927, a New York evening paper contained an expert’s elaborate demonstration of the impossibility of flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

    The work on the wall is nearly done, so we see their four acts of desperation to defeat God’s work: 1. Assassination plot (1-4); 2. Scandalous rumor (5-7); 3. Trap to violate the Temple (10-14); 4. Threat letters (15-19)...and truth to follow when we fac

    Our public schools have been dealing with the serious problem of bullying. Bullies are nothing new; we see examples of them in the Book of Nehemiah. As Nehemiah gets closer to completing the work on the wall of Jerusalem, the pressure and intimidation intensifies. The work was nearly done; all ...read more

    When There Is Persecution Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on May 22, 2020
     | 3,824 views

    Persecution, and the emotions which come when we think about persecution, do not naturally cause us to feel blessed. Yet, when we stand firm in Jesus, we can hold on in strength to Jesus who is sovereign when we are persecuted.

    Jesus Is Still Sovereign Matthew 5:10-12 When There Is Persecution These past months of COVID-19 have initiated a whole range of conversations and topics – one of those topics has been persecution of Christians. A QB church this week noted with irony … and with a subtle reference to persecution … ...read more

    The Practical Points Of Conversing With God

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 6, 2021
     | 2,338 views

    Nehemiah's prayer was an example in practicality, specificity and common sense when coming before the LORD with our needs and burdens. Prayer is an orderly time of conversing with God, who wants to hear from you daily.

    This message is a continuation of our look at the prayers of the Jewish statesman Nehemiah and his concern over the rebuilding of Jerusalem, which had laid in ruins for decades after its destruction by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C., which brought the kingdom of Judah to an end ...read more

    There was no question that David was the underdog. But there was also no question about God’s help. How do we face our giants? There were odds, there was opposition and there was Divine help.

    DAVID VOLUNTEERED Text: 1 Samuel 17:38 - 50 When I was a kid, I was a crack shot with a sling shot. My grandfather, Cecil had a patent on a couple of sling shots he designed.

    Peter and John were arrested Acts 4:3 .... Acts 5:27 -32 represents their second arrest. “Minding their own business” involved sharing the Gospel. Matthew 28:19 was their call to go and make disciples! There was no Plan B.
