    The first flush of success leaves us vulnerable, but Jesus teaches us a better rejoicing.

    THE MISSION OF THE SEVENTY. Luke 10:1-24. LUKE 10:1. The first thing we might notice about the appointment of the seventy in this passage is that they were appointed by Jesus. It is hazardous for anybody to enter into ministry without the commissioning of Jesus. ‘How shall they preach unless ...read more

    The Futility of Life Without God Ecclesiastes 7:1-14 Rev. Brian Bill September 21-22, 2024 Sometimes people ask me if I’d rather officiate at a wedding or a funeral.

    based on 24 ratings
     | 9,481 views

    I’m always amazed at the lack of endurance that is seen in the area of faith when it comes to the saints of God. Not trying to be funny at all, but overall the body of Christ is very lazy.

    “The Power of Endurance” Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ ...read more

    What does a successful ministry look like. How should we gauge the success of a preacher or a church. By worldly standards, John's ministry was a failure. By Jesus' standards John the Baptist was the greatest of all prophets.

    Joy Is Restored Series

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017
     | 12,089 views

    Sorrow is but for a time. The power of prayer, memories of God’s past healing and His loving-kindness sustain Israel. God heals the pain of the present in the same manner as He has healed the pain of the past.

    Joy is the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying: it is keen pleasure, or elation. Joy is more elusive, subtle, and nuanced than happiness. We can manipulate circumstances to our own advantage to obtain what we think will bring happiness, or ...read more

    There is a certain excitement that comes with New Things. To some degree in our mind and hearts, we wipe from our mind and heart all the failures of the past year, all the heartaches and disappointments of the past year.

    Philippians 3:13-14; it takes a big person to know what to forget and what to remember. This being the first Sunday of the new year, I want to use the subject of the New Year for our message today. There is a certain excitement that comes with New Things.
