Watch What You See

Contributed by John Ong on Aug 26, 2015

Today, we are posed with the question of seeing. If for example God will remove 4 out 5 of your senses and will keep your sight, what are the things that you will see? Who would you continue pleasing?

Bad News, Good News

Contributed by Melvin Newland on May 25, 2023

Eliminate All Hurry Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

Jesus was busy but never in a hurry. We can follow His example by prioritizing our time and protecting it based on our priorities. However, we must remember that our worth is not determined by our productivity.

Remember that verse in Ephesians 5:15-17? It's all about making the most of our time to do what God wants us to do. Today, we're diving into the principle: ditching the rush. Jesus was always on the go, but never in a rush. He knew how to prioritize and protect his time. And guess what? Our worth ...read more

Hello church! Today we are going to see that overcoming temptation is possible in our lives. I don’t know about you but sometimes I feel my hardwiring is a little messed up.

Riding The Roller Coaster

Contributed by James May on Aug 26, 2002

So many Christians are riding the spiritual roller coaster. Up one day and down the next, simply because we aren’t willing to make a total commitment to Jesus and love playing around with sin. Samson was a great example!

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 6, 2021

Jude first speaks to accountability. He warns the church to not be led astray by these false teachers, by referencing several Old Testament examples of divine judgment. God will not only hold false teachers accountable, but he will hold all people accountable.

Sermon # 32 - A Life That God Rejoices Over Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 2, 2025

We are made in the image of God and our emotions too are expressions of the way God feels about us. It’s good to examine ourselves to see if God rejoices over us or is He grieved about us. Also the plans we make should always be in alignment with God’s will so He does not have to scorn them.

We read in Zephaniah 3:17, “The LORD your God is mighty in your midst; He will save; He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in His love; He rejoices over you with singing.” (AFV) We also read in Psalm 2:4, “From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.” (GNB) It ...read more

When You’re With Jesus, Expect Surprises

Contributed by Charles Scott on Nov 20, 2006
