    Good morning, family. Today, we're diving into some hearty truth nuggets from Paul’s letters to the Galatians and Colossians.

    Every Christian faces real life problems. Just because you accepted Jesus doesn't mean you will be immune to suffering, pain, and trouble in life. In this message we study how Hannah overcame her real life problem.

    “Faith for Real Life Problems” (1 Sam 1:1-2 NIV) "There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. {2} He had two wives; one was called Hannah ...read more

     | 8,256 views

    Most of us do not witness because we are afraid of being hurt by skeptical people. Jesus gives us a great example of a blind man who overcame his fears and shared the truth of Christ’s love with the power of his personal testimony.

    How to Witness to Skeptics (John 9:1-41) Most of us do not witness because we are afraid of being hurt by skeptical people. Jesus gives us a great example of a blind man who overcame his fears and shared the truth of Christ’s love with the power of his personal testimony. Illustration:I was ...read more

  • Forsake Or Be Forsaken

    Contributed by James Groce on Aug 30, 2002
    based on 67 ratings
     | 4,175 views

    Some believe repentance means simply to "turn around" and go in the opposite direction. But the Bible tells us repentance is much more than this.

    The Greek word for repentance is metanoia. Meta means "to change or shift" and noia means "perspective." It literally means a change in the way one views things. Repentance means not only saying you’re sorry, it means you are going to genuinely change and mend your ways. John was preaching ...read more

    Contributed by Mike Turner on Jul 10, 2003
    based on 121 ratings
     | 32,106 views

    Opportunity is usually accompanied by opposition. Strength usually is accomplished through struggles. This sermon explores the challenges faced by God’s people, and the choice they made !

    Grapes, Grasshoppers, Giants, & God Numbers 13:17-33, 14:1-9, 26-32 17.

  • Sound Doctrine Series

    Contributed by Mitchell Skelton on Mar 7, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 5,337 views

    Sound doctrine is important in our Christian walk. Contrary to popular belief, constant opposition to change or "liberalism" does not make one a "sound" teacher.

    Sound Doctrine 1 John 4:1—6 INTRODUCTION Comedian Jeff Foxworthy became famous for his "redneck test." A sample of this would be: 1. If you got stopped by a state trooper and when he asked if you had an I.D. You replied, "’Bout what?" You might be a redneck. 2. If you’ve ever carried a ...read more

  • Don’t Laugh Too Soon At The People Of God Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 76 ratings
     | 18,873 views

    It’s dangerous to laugh at God’s people, because God is on their side. So the people of God can have confidence in facing opposition

    According to Jeff Kennet, Christians are "People of the Past". That’s what he said. He said it when Christians raised objections to the Crown Casino. "To object to something like that," he said, "meant you were out of step with the community." How could you possibly object to something that would ...read more

    The Christian faces great opposition in life from without and within. It’s only with the Lord as our helper that we can endure to the end.

  • The Hope In You

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Apr 28, 2008
     | 3,480 views

    Hope is the opposite of despair; how can I "sanctify" Christ in my heart so I can defend the Gospel in this despair-filled world?

    but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; 1 Peter 3: 15 (NRSVA) Hope is the opposite of despair. Charles Swindoll tells the story of a missionary who was sitting by her ...read more

  • Restoring The Risk Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 2,962 views

    We often think of Christmas in terms of peace … and this can begin to be reduced to that which is cozy and comfortable. But the events that we are invited to enter… begin with the opposite…

    As we enter the Christmas season… a term that is often referred to is “the Christmas spirit.’ It may be a parent telling their children to get a better attitude… or hinting to your boss to give you some extra slack or time off. But what really is the Christmas spirit? Perhaps there are ...read more
