    Generational Wealth, also called family wealth or multi-generational wealth which is wealth passed down from one generation to another, is very significant. Christians create generational wealth by investing in the Kingdom of God. The Shunemite Woman is a typical example...

    God meets us in our weakness, offering sustaining grace and strength through prayer, transforming our struggles into places where His power and love are revealed.

    Some of us came in today weary, worried, and a little worn. We know what it is to smile on the outside while something aches on the inside. You’ve got a thorn that throbs—maybe it’s a diagnosis, a disappointment, a deadline, or a relationship that feels like a riddle you can’t solve. You’ve prayed ...read more

    While examining the word that came to John "Prepare the way of the Lord" this sermon discusses the life-giving influence that occurs when God sends His word and discusses what it means to prepare the way of the Lord.

    Prepare the Way of the Lord Luke 3:1-18[1] 1-2-05 The action in our text this morning begins with a powerful Hebrew statement. Luke 3:2 “...the word of the Lord came to John...” When God wants to strike a holy match and set His people on fire, that is the match He uses—“the word of the Lord ...read more

    want us to look at three primary passages this morning. These three texts, taken together, form a composite picture of the Ascension.

    I heard recently about a church that was putting on an Easter Cantata. When they came to the climactic scene of the Ascension of Christ, the actor playing Jesus was to be slowly hoisted out of view through an opening in the ceiling. The cue for the guys pulling the rope was when he said, “And ...read more

    Cutting Through The Legalese Series

     | 6,103 views

    We look for loopholes in what God has called us to do, but the Bible calls us to a proactive lifestyle, it makes us face who we really are, and it calls us to accountability.

    Some of us love to take the simple and make it complex. Some of us thrive on taking perfectly obvious matters and making them as obscure as possible. My neighbor’s car has on it a bumper sticker that says, “Eschew obfuscation”. After about a half-hour with the dictionary, I found out that means, ...read more

    We try to avoid the very things God wants to use to mould us into the glorious creatures He intends us to be.

    Anger is a misunderstood emotion. In Ephesians 4 God gives us the straight scoop on anger and how to deal with it in healthy ways.

    Growing up one of my favorite TV shows was the, "The Incredible Hulk." The main character was a scientist named Dr. David Banner. Most of the time he was a nice guy. But when he become angry he would repeat those famous words, “Don’t make me angry, you wouldn’t like me when I am angry.” And if ...read more

    James helps us not to fall prey to the peril of presumption in today’s text. He does so by first looking at the problem of presumption. Then he helps us understand the perspective of providence.
