    This message explores the reasons we have to give God thanks. Our choice to give God thanks should not rest on Him doing something for us - but for what He has already done through His Son and what He continues to do.

    Selling Out To God Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,440 views

    Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

    Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
     | 5,470 views

    Jesus, the local boy, leaves town and makes it big in the world - and returns with great following. He has shaken the religious establishment, nation & Roman world. You would expect his own to applaud him & see God's work displayed through Him. But no - He does few miracles. Why?

    Biologists say fear is the first & only universal emotion expressed in man and animals. We come into this world stamped with fear and those fears are multiplied as we grow. 365 “Fears Nots” are mentioned in the Bible. So how do we overcome destructive fear & trust God for breakthroughs?

     | 7,926 views

    We must learn to dream big for God for “As A Man Thinks In His Heart, So Is He” (Pro. 23:7). John Milton said: “The Mind in its own place can make a heaven or hell.” A godly vision requires risk-taking & must be intentional in glorifying God. Too often we see ourselves as nothing...

    It is a fact of life that we will go through times of trial, pain, and suffering. This is an encouraging sermon that reminds us that God has a plan for us, and that trials give us an opportunity to grow in faith, wisdom, and maturity.

    You know, everything happens for a reason. Even before I was saved, I seemed to have the knowing that nothing in life was a coincidence.
