    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Dec 5, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,240 views

    Temptations are designed to make us want to trade the favor and blessing of God for something that won’t satisfy and won’t last. 3 perspectives to help us overcome temptation:

    Responding to Temptation Matthew 4:1-11 Then Jesus was led out into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted there by the Devil. 2 For forty days and forty nights he ate nothing and became very hungry. 3 Then the Devil came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, change these stones ...read more

    Be realistic (being honest about it), responsible (understand you have the power to choose right), ready (be on your guard), and refocused on the goodness of God, and we will find the strength to overcome temptation.

    Today I want to talk about man’s oldest problem – temptation; it goes back all the way to Adam. • We all face it. Even when you know what is right to do, it is difficult to say “No.” • Oscar Wilde once said, “I can withstand anything except temptation.” • People say the only way to get rid of ...read more

    Confidence Within The Chaos

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 26, 2016
     | 14,866 views

    Life is filled with uncertainty. In fact, life can be chaotic at times. It is easy to lose focus and stumble among the chaos. Fortunately, we do not have to succumb to the uncertainties; we can overcome in Christ.

    Confidence within the Chaos John 16: 32-33 We have read a passage from one of my favorite sections of Scripture. Beginning in chapter thirteen, and going through chapter seventeen of John, we find an intimate account of the last hours Jesus spent with His disciples prior to His arrest, trial, and ...read more

    The Power Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 31, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,541 views

    No one can stand in the way of God and not be punished. Christianity has nothing to do with the magic and superstition of the world. The power of God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit overcomes them all.

    Have you ever wondered what is it like to be commissioned by God to do his work in our world? In the reading we heard from Acts, we see an example of one of the earliest ordinations or commissioning services in the church. Of the five men Luke mentions, four were Jews born outside the Holy Land ...read more

     | 3,074 views

    The key to overcoming anxiety is prayer! It is only when we fill our minds and live in accordance with whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy that the peace of God is granted.

    Fortifying the Mind Philippians 4:4-9 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Before Apostle Paul finished his letter with thanks and personal greetings, he gave five ways the Philippians could fortify their minds so that they might live their lives worthy of the Gospel of ...read more

    Conquering Our Mountains

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,758 views

    In a spiritual sense, a mountain can represent any obstacle that stands in the way of victory. This message looks at how to overcome the obstacles and trials that are trying to pull us down into the valley of hardship and defeat below.

    In the Christian walk we often refer to “entering the valley” and “having mountaintop experiences.” The valleys are the low points in our life, and those times in which we experience hardship and trials. King David said in Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ...read more

     | 14,946 views

    Our spiritual battle has to do with our memory. If we remember who God is and what he has done then we will overcome. But we tend to forget what we have to remember.

    Joshua 12:1-24 Joshua chapter 12 we just read is divided into two parts. The first part, verses 1 through 6, talks about 2 kings east of Jordan River, King Sihon of the Amorites and King Og of Bashan both of whom had been killed and their land was taken by the Israelites under the leadership of ...read more

     | 408 views

    False doctrines and prophets are a sign of the last days. They exploit, deceive, and destroy spiritual lives if unchecked. But God has given us His Word, His Spirit, and the gift of discernment to overcome these dangers.

    Faith is about trusting in God even when things don't make sense. Overcoming fear can lead to great rewards and our faith can have a positive impact on others.

    Today we're going to talk about faith. You know, that thing that makes us believe in God even when things don't make sense. It's like trusting your best friend with your deepest secrets.

    Sermon # 9 - Arise From Your Slumber Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,949 views

    Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

    We read in Jonah 1:5-6, And the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to ...read more

    29. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 5 OF 6 This message concludes looking at the letter to the church at Laodicea.
