Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Jul 31, 2015

"Amazing" Doesn’t Begin To Describe Gods Grace!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Oct 10, 2011

If you could obtain it on your own, then that would make it all about you and what you were capable of wouldn’t’ it? That’s the part that’s hard to figure, its not about you, its about what’s been done for you and made available to yo

"Amazing" Doesn’t Begin To Describe Gods Grace! For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

In Everything Give Thanks

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Nov 23, 2010

Thankfulness is so much more than a comparison of our own situation to someone else’s. Thankfulness is so much more than having enough food to eat, a nice, warm home to live in, good health, or financial security, because each of those circumstances can b

Fear Or Faith

Contributed by Clair Sauer on Jun 21, 2012

If we have faith in God, then the limits of our own power do not matter because there is a greater power at work; the Lord who can calm the storm with a few simple words. And if Christ can do that, how much more can he do in this world if we only have fai

Have you ever wondered why the disciples were afraid? I had never really given that question much thought before, mostly because the answer is right before us, right?

Remaking God

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Dec 5, 2012

People have been making up their own gods all throughout history. The Bible calls this idolatry. As Christ followers we must avoid the impulse to make God up when we do not understand Him, or reinvent Him to make Him more acceptable. He is who He is and H

Judas - A Man Who Became A Traitor

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013

When you picture Judas what do you see? A monster, or a devilish figure? Do you ever see yourself? The truth is we have a lot more in common with Judas than we care to admit. In this lesson we'll explore the life of Judas and how it relates to our own.

When it comes to villains the Bible has its fair share. There’s Cain the brother-killer. The conniving Delilah. The murderous Jezebel. The rampaging Manasseh. And then there’s public-enemy #1, Judas the betrayer of Jesus. Too often we look at the villains and we see people that we ...read more

Serving The Lord With All Your Heart

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Nov 4, 2018

Brethren I believe there is a lot to serve God for, not because of what He has done for us but because of Who He is. Our God deserve an outstanding service from us because He is the best employer and He owns the best organisation you can ever work for in the world.

The book of Romans 12:11 analysed what it means to serve God with all our heart. It basically means to be fully devoted to God. It means to show enthusiasm in the things of God and be on fire for Him. I believe having a fully devoted heart is one of the characters we need to possess as a Christian. ...read more

Samson, The Flawed Savior

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Oct 10, 2021

When we stop trusting in human strength or looking to our own ability, God will act. When we are weakest and most defenseless, God will show grace. It’s when we’re at our lowest that God gets ready to shine his glory, to show that He is our Savior.

There is something called the underdog. It’s the boxer not expected to win the fight. It’s the team up against the undefeated champions from last year. The underdog is an unlikely candidate for success, because he’s too small, or they’re too weak, or inexperienced. Yet we know it’s the underdog ...read more

The Innkeeper And His Guests Missed The First Advent Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Nov 20, 2021

It would be tragic to leave Jesus out of Christmas 2021 because I am too busy or because I am so absorbed in my own little world. That’s what happened the First Christmas, and that same time have been happening in many homes Christmas after Christmas.

INTRODUCTION CUSTOM BLOCK Advent means the arrival; the appearance and that term is usually associated with someone who is notable. So, it is fair to say that those who lived in the times of the Old Testament were looking for the Advent (the coming, the appearance) of Christ. In fact, Advent is not ...read more

Losing Our Unction Series

Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Mar 19, 2019

One of Satan’s aims is to trip up God’s child so that we lose our power (unction), witness, etc… To illustrate this point Paul presents an O.T. study. It’s the story of God’s own nation. They serve as an example (warning) (v.6, 11).

LOSING OUR UNCTION I CORINTHIANS 10:1-13 INTRODUCTION: “Unction” = anointing. Fervency in speaking or behaving. Persuasion. See 9:27. What was Paul fearful of? Not losing his salvation, but his unction = divine authority/power/persuasion/influence! If that left him he would have nothing ...read more

Where Will I Go?

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 1, 2019

This sermon is going to review the story of the children of Israel at the Red Sea in order to show that while many battles in life cannot be won through our own effort, God is more than capable and willing to secure our victory if only we would stand still and let Him fight for us!
