Satan Vs Jesus - Mark 9:14-29 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 29, 2023

If you are a Christian, you probably don’t have the kind of unbelief the boy’s father had—doubting Jesus’ power. But very often we have the kind of unbelief the disciples had. This message will show you how to detect that kind of unbelief in your heart and overcome it.

Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 18, 2018

God predicted the Messiah would come eons before He did, in the darkness that followed the Fall--giving hope to mankind even after everything had gone wrong. It was the "first light" that shown in the darkness, and the light still shines, and the darkness has yet to overcome it.

Rising Above The Turkeys Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Mar 23, 2018

RISING ABOVE THE TURKEYS—Genesis 30:25-31:55 “I could soar like an eagle, if I didn’t have to deal with so many turkeys.” My uncle raised turkeys. Turkeys are pretty stupid. They are always crowding each other, pecking at each other, fighting over food, so they can get big enough to be ...read more

Lord Of The Storm

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 21, 2021

As Lord of all creation, Jesus won’t let anything stop his plan to redeem sinners. So there is nothing more powerful than these words of comfort for his believers: “It is I.” His words overcome all our fears: “I am Jesus. Do not be afraid.”

It is humbling to stand at the edge of the ocean. Looking out over the water, seeing the pounding surf and hearing the noise of the breakers, you realize your smallness.

Lord’s Prayer 13: Put Us Not To The Test! Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Dec 3, 2024

Everyday we face problems and tests which we have to try and solve or overcome - some strengthen us others lead us into doing things we are not proud of. The question that hits you from this phrase from the Lord's prayer is - does God put tests before us? Or is this just part of everyday life?
