    I Love You Lord Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Aug 19, 2014
     | 16,317 views

    If it is true that we often talk about the things and people we love, then it's fair to ask "Do you love Jesus? How often to you speak of Him?"

    “Soul Talk: I Love You Lord” Ps. 116 When we truly love someone or something we readily talk about the object of our love. Think about what you truly love – your heroes, your sports teams, your job, your favorite activities, your favorite food, your spouse, your ...read more

    God wants you to be clear and precise to him in your prayer chamber. You should be explicit and ask for definite needs. He knows your needs but wants you to pray.

    “And He said unto them, which of you shall have a friend and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, friend, lend me three loaves...”(Luke 11:5) “ And Jesus said to his disciples, "Suppose one of you should go to a friend's house at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, let ...read more

     | 4,437 views

    Many young people go to college as Christians, but due to the secularism and the anti-Christian propaganda force-fed them, they become agnostics or atheists.They must become knowledgeable of the foundations of their Christian faith.

    THE TOP 7 LIES YOU’LL HEAR AT COLLEGE INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: WHAT AISLE IS THE POLISH SAUSAGE ON? 1. People today over-react, especially about politically correct topics.

    You Have A Green Light Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2014
     | 8,570 views

    The Lord commands His people to go into all the world and to preach the gospel to every creature, but in spite of this, we stay put at the light. We do not go. We do not preach the gospel. This lesson reminds us of our calling as disciples of Christ.

    We have all been there… We are sitting at a red light for a few minutes… After what seems like forever, the light FINALLY turns green. But unfortunately, the person in front of us did not see it turn green. They are talking on the phone or texting. They may be focused on talking to ...read more

    Seeking Sinners Series

    Jesus associated with sinners because their repentance brings great joy to heaven. The parables’ drama is built on the tension of an attempt to find what is lost. If the lost were important to Jesus, they should be important to His disciples.

    LUKE 15: 1-10 [PARABLES IN LUKE] SEEKING SINNERS [Jesus, Friend of Sinners] Why seek sinners? Chapter 15 contains three linked parables that explain why Jesus associates with sinners. Jesus associated with sinners who recognized their need of salvation and because their repentance brings ...read more

    The identity of the Holy Spirit can be misunderstood at times. This sermon deals with the Holy Spirit identifying himself.

    There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about the Holy Spirit, who He is, and what his role is. We have a rather clear understanding of God, the Heavenly Father and Jesus, our Savoir. However the Holy Spirit can become controversial in his role. First of all the Holy Spirit is a real person. ...read more

    Jesus says that we must abide in Him, to remain in His love. How can we know that we are abiding in Him?

    Over the past few weeks, we have considered several I AM statements of Jesus. These are the things that Jesus said about Himself. In John Chapter 10, Jesus said “I AM the door.” He is the way into God’s kingdom. In John Chapter 8, Jesus said “I AM the light of the world.” He shines in the ...read more

    Jesus was saying that His own generation was a childish generation. By childish He meant perverse. They turned away from that which was right and good to that which was corruptible. They were just wrong-headed, mindless, and contrary.

    Introduction A. A man and his wife were making their first doctor visit prior to the birth of their first child. After everything checked out, the doctor took a small stamp and stamped the wife's stomach with indelible ink. The couple was curious about what the stamp was for, so when they got ...read more

    The disciples weren't afraid of the storm. And they weren't really afraid of Jesus. What was it that they were afraid of that day? And what did Jesus do to deal with their fear?

    I once read the story of a man who was hitch hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a storm. It was late at night and no cars were passing. The storm was fierce and the winds strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead. Suddenly, he saw a car coming towards him and stop. Without further ...read more
