    The Historical books have traditionally been included in the prophetical books because they tell the story of the lessor prophets (i.e. the non-writing prophets). They too point us toward Christ.

    Intro.: There will come times when the place of God in our lives is not as obvious. 1.Oh, I would like to think that I will exhibit perfect faith. 2.I would really like to think that I am the epitome of a faithful believer – which of course I am. 3.NOT! 4.You see, like every believer, there are ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,026 views

    This is a very well-known story, certainly to Christians, but I'm not sure that Christians really understand the full import to them of this story. We'll not just be touching unbelievers, but we will all be getting a touch, hopefully, from the Spirit of God from this account.

    "Getting Past The Crowd To Christ" I want us to turn in the Scriptures for our reading just now to Mark's gospel chapter 2. As I have been announcing, I'm going to speak this morning, on the subject of 'Getting Past the Crowd to Christ'. This is a very well-known story, certainly to ...read more

    Jesus has a title, and it’s the great physician. He is able and willing to heal us.

    There is a broken path in life. A road many of us here have walked. It’s the road of perdition. It’s the road of destruction. But it doesn’t feel that way when we walk it, not at first at least. The road begins with a surrender. It’s a surrender that occurred in my heart when I had had too much. I ...read more

    Like in Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, to truly understand Christmas we need to see it from the past, present and future.

    CHRISTMAS PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE Christmas is finally here! One of my favorite movies to watch at Christmas time is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in 1843.

    Satan is a con artist. He's the best. The reason people refuse to deny themselves to follow Jesus is because satan deceives them into thinking they don't have to. God and Satan are enemies, and the creation of God is the battlefield

    In the beginning of human history God warned Adam and Eve about a certain tree in the Garden and that they were forbidden to eat the fruit of this tree.

    How Do We Define Faith Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Aug 10, 2009
     | 6,812 views

    This message seeks to establish a definition of what our faith should look like.

    Most of us confidently believe that we have faith. The problem is that the faith we often display is quite different from what is defined here in Hebrews 11.
