    When The Purpose Is Revealed (2014)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 31, 2022
     | 1,602 views

    There is where we are and where it is that God wants us to be and it is only when we follow God and His guidance that we are able to close the gap between where we are and where it is that God would like for us to be.

    WHEN THE PURPOSE IS REVEALED (2014) Text: Exodus 17:1-7 "One of the greatest sins we commit against God is not reaching the potential he has placed in us." (Raymond McHenry. ed. McHenry’s Quips, Quotes And Other Notes. [author’s files: John Maxwell]. Third Printing. ...read more

    Because the end is near… pray, love, and serve.

    Honestly, many of us are little afraid of closely examining the Bible’s message on the future. If we focus on the end times too long, we are afraid of turning into a guy walking around the city with a sandwich board yelling about judgment and the end of time. We easily get confused when reading ...read more

    This is the 16th of 30 studies on the Book of Romans and talks about the fact that God had chosen the people of Israel for a very special purpose.

    Romans 9:1-5 1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, 4 who ...read more

    Sermon # 6 - United With A Purpose Series

     | 2,624 views

    Only when we are united in heart, mind and purpose will the people around us know and believe in Jesus. This sermon will teach us what we should do to make this a possibility.

    We read in Acts 4:32, “The whole congregation of believers was united as one — one heart, one mind!” (MSG) The testimony about the early church was that though they were numerous, they were all with one heart and one mind. When we hear such a declaration, probably the question that arises is, ‘How ...read more

    One man, back in Persia, was about to discover & live out God's purpose for his life. His name was Nehemiah. And from his example I believe we can find a way to answer an important question in our own lives.

    Purpose, Please Stand Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025
     | 76 views

    Purpose rises when God’s word defines us, God’s anointing empowers us, and we step into the valley knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.

    There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more

    The life of Jonah teaches us that there is nothing we do is hidden from God. Also, we learn that as a church we must be certain of our identity and our purpose so we can glorify God through all we are and all we do.

    We read in Jonah 1:7-8, Then the men said to each other, "We should throw lots to find out why this is happening to us." So the men threw lots. The lots showed that the troubles came to them because of Jonah. Then the men said to Jonah, "It is your fault that this terrible thing is ...read more

     | 543 views

    Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more
