Kids Will Be Kids Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 16, 2010

Some say "Kids will be kids" meaning that if you just leave them alone, they’ll turn out okay. But the writer of Proverbs disagreed. Do you know why?

James Dobson tells of a 10 year old boy named Robert who was an absolute terror. Whenever his mother went to the doctor, he would literally attack the office, grabbing instruments and files and telephones. All the while his passive mother could do little more than shake her head in bewilderment. ...read more

Series: Recovering Stolen Identity & Reclaiming Misplaced Destiny: Part 4b: God Can Use Detours To Get You To Your Destiny (Taking A Tour Through My Detour)

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020

Detours come during Development, Disasters, Accidents, Protocol, Apprehension (Sifting, Dragnet), etc. God rarely takes us to our destiny in straight lines - He normally has some development that requires detours. Abraham's detour was 25 years, Jacob's was about 20 years, etc. And yours?

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 16, 2021

While Mary has enjoyed high status throughout the centuries, she was the subject of gossip in her day. Mary’s scandal is this: she was an unwed pregnant teenager and all the tongues were wagging were in her small, conservative town of Nazareth.

Just a few more days to Christmas… are you ready? We conclude a short Christmas series designed to make room in your heart to worship Jesus, entitled The Mothers of Jesus.

Calling, Purpose And Destiny

Contributed by William Tan Yh on Nov 12, 2020

Have you wonder why you are alive at this time and age? What is the mission that God has for you? The Bible tells us God in Jer 29:11 that He has a plan for our lives. Therefore, we seek God persistently to help us to fulfill his plan and purpose for our lives.

One of the most inspiring story of the Bible is the story of Joseph in Genesis chapters 37 to 41. When he was a young man, he received two dreams from God that one day he would be greatly used by God. He told the dreams to his brothers who were so jealous of him that they sold him to be a slave ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 30, 2024

Using both Joseph in the Old Testament, and Martin Luther King Jr. from our generation, we'll look at these principles of freedom from God’s word along with seeing how their dreams defined the destiny of their people. Jesus wants everyone to live a lifestyle of freedom.

Loosing Sight Of The Goal?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Aug 5, 2006

How easy is it to loose sight of the goal? I set up a portable basketball goal in the sanctuary to illustrate my point. Mary and Joseph lost Jesus in the midst of doing their religious duties? Stay focused on the goal.

LOOSING SIGHT OF THE GOAL? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com As I start to preach, I have some men carry a portable basket ball goal into the front of the sanctuary and set it up.

The Magi Come To Worship

What an absurd scene it would have been to see this band of foreign royalty showing up on the doorstep of Joseph and Mary. There are some important lessons to learn from these men who came in faith to see the King...

How many of you know who was born January 8th, 1935? It was someone who influenced much change, but his coming was not met with applause and acclaim.

From Prisoner To Prince Series

Contributed by Rodney Kelley on Sep 3, 2009

Joseph went thru trials he didn’t understand so God could prepare him for something bigger. Sometimes trials we face are a result of God making us more like Him.

Journey Of Love Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 4, 2017

God tells us that Joseph was a "just man" because he was "unwilling to put (Mary) to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly." What does that mean? And what does difference can it make to our faith?

The Universal Tool Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

You are only truly one with Jesus when you eat with Him. You are only truly one with anyone by means of eating with them. It was by means of food and eating that Joseph worked out reconciliation with his brothers.

Life revolves around eating, for where there is no eating there is no life. Our vacation made us all the more aware of this obvious truth, for everyday we had to make decisions about where we would eat. In Fort Lauderdale where we stayed there is a place to eat every few feet, and along the ...read more
