Overcoming The World

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Oct 16, 2022

The theme of this week’s morning message what it takes to be overcomers in this world we live in. In our study we’ll get a clearer view of what is this world we must overcome, what prevents us from overcoming, and then what and who helps us become overcomers.

Overcoming the World 1 John 5:4-5 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iY0xWf7KuQ In the desert we’re not accustomed to creeping vines, but over the years we’ve seen our share.

Overcoming Anxiety

Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 17, 2022

We are living in a day and age of uncertainty/anxiety, where we are being pulled in so many directions we are emotionally and physically exhausted. Anxiety and worry have choked the joy out of of lives, how can we experience the peace of God in our lives?

I don’t have to tell you about the negative effects of anxiety, because I think we all know what they are. But pre-pandemic the OECD reported that anxiety is the most common mental disorder in the world. Can you imagine how these statistics shot through the roof after the pandemic began, after the ...read more

Overcoming Heartbreak

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Oct 20, 2022

What do we do when we suffer hurt? How do we overcome past hurts? And how do we do it the way God wants us to? As we look at Romans 12, we will learn from Paul how to overcome hurts, how to be a true child of God and move past the pain.

Romans chapter 12 is where I want to start today. I want to start here because I believe there's something here we constantly overlook when we read part of this chapter. We all know what the first 2 verses say, 1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present ...read more

Overcoming Challenges

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

Caleb requested for the hill country that seemed tough to conquer. The reason was because Caleb, though he was eighty five years old, was one who welcomed challenges, believed he could overcome them and had no fear whatsoever.

For the past few weeks we have been studying the life of this man named Caleb. In continuation we will meditate today on Joshua 14:12, “So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities. It may be ...read more

Overcoming Unbelief

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

We see that God speaks highly of a man named Caleb that he would be the only one to enter into the Promised Land which God promised he would give to him and his descendants. Not only did Caleb receive commendation from God, there was a promise of God’s blessing on his descendants too.

For today’s meditation we will look at Deuteronomy 1:36, “Only Caleb son of Jephunneh will enter it. He has remained faithful to me, and I will give him and his descendants the land that he has explored.'” (GNB) A background about Caleb We see that God speaks highly of a man named Caleb that ...read more

Overcoming Opposition Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 25, 2022

There was a spirit of renewal and revival. Worship was renewed and sacrifices were made. But opposition lurked around the corner. When God’s people are doing God’s work opposition comes.

How do you respond to opposition? What if someone is doing everything they can to sabotage your work for the Lord? When you can face and overcome opposition by depending on God’s strength you will ultimately accomplish great things. Does taking a stand for Christ necessarily mean that you will ...read more

Overcoming With Thanksgiving Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Nov 9, 2021

Thanksgiving Holiday: God's grace results in thanksgiving, and a grateful heart enables believers to withstand hardship. A thankful heart also helps us to see God’s ability to work through our pain for His glory.

For our Thanksgiving holiday message, I want to open with a little humor. “A kindergarten teacher was telling her students all about the Pilgrims as she prepared them for the Thanksgiving season. After one little girl had gone home and shared the details she remembered from her teacher’s lesson, ...read more

Overcoming The World

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Dec 5, 2021

If you have faith in Christ, you already have every resource to be an overcomer. God doesn’t allow us to surrender to worldly pressure or to hide ourselves away. But He says that in Christ we can conquer and gain the victory. Who is it that will overcome and persevere? Only the one who believes!

What we do today isn’t very exciting. For we’re just a small church in a big world. We’re reading an old book, and we’re talking about an old story. Yet a Christian has been given different eyes, and we look at things in a different way. Beneath the surface, God helps us to see things as they ...read more

Grasshoppers Or Overcomers?

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 2, 2022

This message discusses the consequences of a negative attitude by looking at a huge mistake made by the Israelites. A positive attitude, or faith, is the very thing that will carry us into receiving what God intends for our life.

I remember one time walking into a Cracker Barrel restaurant and seeing on a shelf in their Country Store a book called Worst-Case Scenarios. When I first saw this book I thought it was sad that someone could make money by selling a book that contained people’s worst nightmares. I wondered who ...read more
