    based on 1 rating
     | 6,288 views

    Christians live within the tension of being in a fallen, broken world, while trying not to be influenced by it.

    “He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the Kingdom of His beloved Son” (Colossians 1:13). As Christians, living between two kingdoms is what we do every single day, regardless of where we are. We face the challenge of living as Christ’s followers in an unholy, fallen ...read more

    Full of New Wine Acts 2:12-21 We have seen in our study of Pentecost so far, one of the major purposes for the gift of tongues was to bypass the language barrier so that everyone at the feast in Jerusalem could understand the wonderful works of God in their own language.

    Every church needs to take this message to heart because one of the most tragic characteristics of modern society is pride and self-sufficiency.

    I said last time that in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians concerning what to do about their divided church, Paul gives 11 answers to their problem. The first answer, Paul said, was the cross. If the church would refocus on their purpose based upon the cross, the church would begin to ...read more

    Going Overboard About Our Possessions Series

    The main idea shared here is "don't go overboard about things you'd throw overboard." The message looks at how often only a life-threatening situation can cause us to let loose of our possessions.

    MAN OVERBOARD: Don’t go overboard about things you’d throw overboard. - Jonah 1:5. - This trip was undertaken for financial reasons. They didn’t just set sail because they wanted to see the ocean for a while. They did it because there was money to be made. They didn’t ...read more

    The Constant Revelation Of Grace

     | 2,292 views

    God is constantly revealing His grace to us, but we don't always see it. Here is a story of God's grace, and man's resistance to it.

    Passage: Matthew 9:1-8 Intro: We live in a world of constants. 1. a constant is something that is unchanging and invariable. 2. these are laws of the universe that do not change. 3. probably the most well-known and commonly experienced is the law of gravity. PP Gravity formula. ...read more

    The people who lived at the time of Jeremiah could not accept his message. Many people who heard Jesus preach could not accept his words. Today people, including ourselves, find it difficult to believe in a god of steadfast and overwhelming love.

    Jeremiah 11:18-20 “An Unaccepted Message” INTRODUCTION One of the most challenging jobs, or callings, is that of a prophet of change. Certainly, the Old Testament prophets, like Jeremiah, realized the enormity and difficulty of their task. Jeremiah lived in the seventh century B.C., and ...read more

    The Birthmark Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 23, 2022

    Persecution stems from the world's anger with God and not being able to take it out on Him. The world wants to fight God, but choose to fight with Christians. Remember it is not personal, it is hatred for God.

    This is the final message on the Beatitudes, the Birthmarks of the Believers. Jesus was the Messiah, but He was not the Messiah everyone was expecting. The Jews were in bondage. They believed that when He came, He was going to come as a mighty warrior. They were not as interested in being saved ...read more
