  • Pressing Into His Presence Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 17 ratings
     | 31,407 views

    Worship is not merely a response to God, but it is also the pursuit of God. God pursues us, and yet for some odd reason, He seems to be just beyond our grasp when we seek Him. The pressing into His Presence is the choice of our will to worship Him.

    Encountering God - Part 2 – Pressing Into His Presence Overview Last week, I laid a foundation for what I believe to be the biblical nature of worship, starting with the fact that God has created mankind to worship Him. That worship arises from a relationship with Him. The bible says in the ...read more

    In Exodus 14:15-16 we read, “The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to move forward [toward the sea].

    In poker, the odds determine the winning hand. This same scenario played out in Christ's life: four of a kind beat the challenge of a full house. Four friends were able, against all obstacles and hindrances, to get their friend to Jesus. May we love thus!

  • Christmas Eve -The Power Of Belief

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Dec 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,632 views

    Its not WHAT I believe in, it is WHO I place my faith in. WHO I place my faith in is stronger, for Jesus is able to overcome what I am not able to overcome.

    Belief is a powerful thing. What I believe in makes me who I am, I am what I believe. What we believe molds us into who we are; What we believe colors our view of the world around us; What we believe motivates us to stand up for something or stand up against something. What we believe in may ...read more

    based on 20 ratings
     | 11,961 views

    Where does a positive perspective end and faith begin? Faith is not simply hoping that things will work out someday. If a positive perspective is what brings me success, then why do I need God?

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,587 views

    This was the last Sunday of the church year, Christ the King Sunday. And the reading seemed to be odd. Instead of a reading about the glorious majesty of Christ, we see Christ at His lowest point, the cross. It ends up, that since the glory of Christ is t

    Introduction: Samson had taken revenge on the Philistines twice after his return to Timnath (Judges 15:1-8). Once he found out his father-in-law had given his bride to the “companion” or best man, as we would say these days, Samson caught 300 “foxes”. He then tied them tail-to-tail, placed a torch ...read more

  • Gentle Restoration

    Contributed by Ron Hietsch on Jul 1, 2016
     | 3,824 views

    The object of all admonition is the restoration of a person at odds with God because of persistent, intentional, defiant, high handed sin. We would warn someone about a physical danger. We also need to warn about spiritual danger.l

    Sometimes life feels like an F5 tornado. How can I find the strength to stand? 1. Look to the Lord (vs. 10). 2. Recognize your real enemy (vs. 11-12). 3. Apply God’s armor (vs. 13-17).
