    Jacob Wrestles With God Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 8, 2022

     | 10,778 views

    Peniel was a place where Jacob reached brokenness. He lost all self-sufficiency and depended completely on God. This was a time for Jacob of genuine soul searching and spiritual struggle. It was also a significant time of knowing God’s grace.

    A profession of faith in Christ is not an end in itself. It is the beginning of a pilgrimage. Along the way there will be defining moments and spiritual highlights. For Jacob his defining moment was at Peniel. The meaning of Peniel is the face of God. Peniel was a place where Jacob reached ...read more

    We live in days of urgency. The headlines scream with wars and rumours of wars. Morality collapses, society drifts further from God, and people are searching for answers in all the wrong places. But the Word of God is not silent about what is to come.

    We live in a world desperate for hope. Every day, the news bombards us with stories of war, suffering, division, and despair. People search for hope in wealth, relationships, careers, and entertainment—only to find that these things ultimately fail to satisfy.

    Transitional Theology

     | 13,218 views

    Now it is my firm belief that in the midst of Transition and Uncertainty, the Prophetic Pastor must have a Logos about Theos regarding the Ethos of the Times. He must have a Word about God regarding the Mood of the Times!

    I need not pause to suggest how delighted I am to be in your midst. My prayer is that God will grant you the desires of your hearts and mature you in Christlikeness. I want to use this Preaching Moment to highlite this headline: Transitional Theology. The Text I have tagged and targeted for ...read more

    Why are so many people living with frustration, emptiness, despair, hopelessness, disgust, apathy, or anger? Such people have given up hope of finding relief to their inner ache for answers. Who has the answers and why are so many people still searching

    Authentic faith produces good things. This message is the first in a series on 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Thanks to Pastor Derrick Tuper for his thoughts that contributed to this message (see notation in text)

    Paul couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to know how the church in Thessalonica was doing. After all, he had poured himself into that congregation and sacrificed deeply to teach its members the gospel. But now Satan was attacking it with persecution, doubt, and trial. Were the believers ...read more

    What Made The Wise Men Wise?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 14, 2019
     | 4,539 views

    Why does the Bible 2X call them "wise?" Because they were SEARCHING for a Sign from God, they ACTED on the revelation they had, they PERSEVERED until they got to Him, and they ENTERED IN to know Jesus! May God make us wise like them.

    WHAT MADE THE WISE MEN WISE? Matt. 2:1-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. For many years there was a Christmas pageant every year in the (Miami) Dade County Auditorium, which seats 2,400 people.

    The pastors in our community take turns preaching at the local hospital. This is the message I preached there recently. It examines the brokenness of our lives and points us to the One from whom our help comes.

    Jesus Came For Everyone

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 1, 2021

    Jesus established His church to be open to all who wanted to worship Him. Why does today's not believe this? As a Jewish convert and pastor I have been on the receiving end of Anti-semitism in church.

    Jesus’ attitude and language used in the narrative can be shocking to the reader. How can our Lord and Savior treat anyone in the way He is portrayed in this narrative? The pagan woman was looking for her daughter to be cured. Instead of immediately helping her, He calls her a dog, thus insulting ...read more
