     | 6,002 views

    Jesus said that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. This means that He wants us to exceed the spiritual expectations prescribed by the Law; as we are to strive for excellence in our walk with God.

    I have entitled our message, “Exceeding Expectations,” and I want to begin by sharing a true story. A contractor in Mexico was hired to build a Catholic Church, but he used cheap materials in order to make more money. He reasoned that the quality of the materials did not matter, so long as the ...read more

    When you couldn’t reach up to God, He reached down to you, and He invites you to meet Him in the darkness, away from any idol, at the foot of the cross.

    Leighton Ford, the husband of Billy Graham’s youngest sister, Jean, tells the story of a Russian cosmonaut. He came back from space and said, “Some people say God lives out there. I looked around, and I didn't see any God out there.” Billy Graham's wife, Ruth, said he looked in the wrong ...read more

    Psalm 66 is a corporate Psalm of Thanksgiving or Praise in response to the work of God in the lives of the people of Judah. This introductory message looks at the first four verses and the summons to praise - reflecting on the context of praise, the command to praise, and the content of our praise.

    Psalm 66:1–4 ESV Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!

    If God Is Love, Why Did He Hate Esau?

    “Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have HATED, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals’” (Malachi 1:2-3 NIV - emphasis mine)

    The Bible is very clear that God’s essence is love (1 John 4:7-10). He has always been love, even before He created the first human beings. He has always sought to have a close relationship with them because they were made for this love. The entire story of humanity is wrapped up within it. Love is ...read more

    Surely as Blood washed Spirit filled Fire Baptized Christians we should be considered a threat to hell. When the devil looks at you, he should see a Dangerous Christian. Not just a believer trying to hold out till Jesus comes, but a true warrior, tearing the devils kingdom down.

    Mark 16:16-18 KJV... He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any ...read more

    Exercising And Exorcising

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 8, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 545 views

    In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.

    You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more

    In recent years, ancestry and genealogy has been a growing trend. One of the largest and most popular ancestry companies was sold 4 years ago for $4.7b. There is something in us that wants to understand more about where we are from and from whom we descend. Unfortunately, for many of us, the ...read more

    Jesus' temptation in the wilderness gives us some insights that we should keep in mind as we face temptation.

    Luke 4:1–13 ESV And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil.

    Sermon 5 - The Case For Compassion Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 24, 2025
     | 767 views

    Mission minded disciples of Jesus are committed to being salt and light by showering people with God's love through acts of compassion and kindness. We become more compassionate as we remember the compassion we have received from God.

    A. One night at 3 o’clock in the morning, a husband and wife were awakened by a loud pounding on their door. 1. The husband got out of bed, opened the door, and found a drunken stranger standing in the pouring rain. 2. The inebriated man asked, “Can you give me a push?” 3. “Not a chance,” said ...read more

    At Pentecost, God shattered every barrier—proving His Spirit speaks every language, loves every culture, and saves all who call.

    Introduction — The Music of Words Language. That simple word carries a universe inside it. Gustave Flaubert once wrote that language is “a cracked pot on which we beat out a tune for bears to dance, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.” What a contradiction—clumsy and celestial ...read more
