    Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have. Most people make the mistake of looking too far ahead for things close by. For example Salvation. Let’s take a closer look!

    Introduction "Is it really worth it?" you ask. This thing called Salvation. "I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work for me." so many say. There’s the problem, so many have TRIED it and Salvation isn’t something you TRY it’s in the one you TRUST! O.K. if Salvation is so hard as you say then let me be ...read more

     | 3,527 views

    Do you long for Christ’s return? John was given a glimpse of the glorious Christ. Seeing Christ through Revelation helps us to appreciate Him more and see our lives in the light of the hope we have in Him.

    [I’ve taken some of the thoughts in this sermon from Anne Graham Lotz’s The Vision of His Glory.] The second coming of Christ does not always conjure up the same emotions. • If you are to narrow down your emotions regarding the return of Christ to one word, what would that be? • Discomfort, Fear, ...read more

     | 8,933 views

    When John told the truth against political power (Herod) there were consequences. The same was true for Jesus, his followers. The 'values" of the world does not always appreciate the "truth" God offers in Jesus, "the way, the truth, and the life."

    God wants us to recognize the grace He has bestowed on us, appreciate the gift He has blessed us with, and set out to diligently and faithfully carry out the work He has entrusted into our hands.

    In Matthew 25: 14-30, Jesus told a parable of a man who gave talents to three of his servants. The first received 5 talents, the second servant 2 talents and the third was given 1 talent.

    Magnifying The Magnificient One

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Dec 9, 2024

     | 877 views

    There are two main magnifying apparatuses: microscopic and telescopic. The correct way to magnify God is via the telescopic method. He is already great and big. We just need to bring His greatness closer for us to appreciate all the more.

    Magnification to make bigger, to amplify, to exalt Ps 69:30 ¶ I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving Ps. 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together Microscopic- Making something small and minute appear so much bigger. ...read more

    Living in these last days is difficult. We look at the wrath of God that is coming and the display of sin in the world. When we understand this current world, then we appreciate what God delivered us from. Seeking the lost should result.

    This sermon introduction begins a new series called Cadence, exploring the intentional rhythm and order God has built into creation, as seen in Genesis 1-2 and Psalm 8, and how recognizing and appreciating this can lead to a fulfilling life.

    An exposition of several texts as a “pastoral care intervention” message pointing out the problem of disunity in the church caused by individualism and calling those attending worship to reach out to those who do not attend.

    Purpose: to be the Holy Spirit’s second witness calling God’s people in my care to take the first step and reach out to professing Christians that are not attending worship services.

     | 26,720 views

    Christians have all kinds of opinions about what preachers should do in their congregations. But what does God want those who enter the pulpit ministry to focus on? What is the "main thing" that these men should devote themselves to?

    There’s an old saying: “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” We’ll come back to that in a moment.
