     | 11,188 views

    Throughout the scriptures we see pictures of how the faithful few took God’s words seriously and lived accordingly. They lived out their beliefs and in turn god brought about the manifestation of the things which were promised to them.

    No matter what God has called you to be you’ll notice that jealousy inevitably follows after favor. It doesn’t just follow but it hunts and runs after it because others see something in you they either want, need or used to have.

    Even if terrifying trial would happen to us, as Christians, there are good things that we could expect from our Good God!

    “Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the LORD ...read more

    In verse 14 Paul speaks of his confidence in the Christians in Rome. Just as the apostle Paul was confident in them to do well, we should give others reason to have confidence in what we are doing as Christians.

    The Dust Is Turned To Lice Series

     | 1,540 views

    This Plague came from the land, as the two former came from the river. Aaron "smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice (“Kinnim”) in man, and in beast"(ver. 17). This was a new blow at Egyptian idolatry because the earth was worshipped as well as the river.

    The Dust is Turned to Lice (Exodus 8:16-19) Exodus 8:16-19 (NIV) Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground,’ and throughout the land of Egypt, the dust will become gnats.” They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff ...read more

    Is it harder to turn the other cheek, to offer something else when someone has taken something from us, to be generous, to be merciful and to go the extra mile?

    Many in America today, seem to be confused as to why, when we incarcerate law breakers, and send them through a rehabilitation program, they go back to doing the same crimes again, after they are released.

    Well, the problem is that we are trying to fix the wrong thing.

    Chapters 6 and 7, told us how God used the great deacon, Stephen, and how he gave his life for the gospel.

    Now we are going to study about how that affected the church. When some people who belong to church die, it does not have much of an impact on God's work, because they did not love the Lord, or His church. But when a man like Stephen dies, it leaves a vacuum for some time. Look at verse ...read more

    As we look at the life of Elijah, I think we will see a resemblance of what he went through and what we go through today as we serve our Savior.

    If you've been with us for the past 7 weeks then you know that we took a journey to visit the seven churches that Jesus wrote letters to in the Book of Revelation. We found that those messages still apply to our individual lives and our churches today. Now we're going to change gears for ...read more

    Out Of The Depths I Cried

     | 10,846 views

    Discouragement is part of life. Discouragement comes most often when you do right things but experience poor results. You work hard, but you don't make progress. You have expectations and goals and they don’t come to pass. You seek change and yet nothing changes.

    “Out of the Depths I cried” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. When we think of Depth we think of the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something. It is used to specify the distance below the top or surface of something to which someone or something percolates or at which ...read more

     | 1,578 views

    In the last sermon, we dealt with Paul stating that whether he lived or died, his purpose for living was for the Lord Jesus.

    When he wrote to the Philippian church, he was in prison. In prison he knew that he faced a capital crime and that he might be executed. If you were in prison and you thought that you might die, what kind of letter would you write? We do not have to guess at what kind of letter the Apostle Paul ...read more
