    My Testimony Series

    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Nov 2, 2011
    based on 38 ratings
     | 21,718 views

    Let's think about Paul's personal testimony and how it relates to our lives. (two positives and a negative) 1- He did not preach a made-up gospel 2- He did persecute believers in the past 3- He did receive a call from God

    INTRO.- Do you have a testimony? Yes, whether you realize it or not. Every human has a testimony or is a living testimony. ILL.- For example, let me name some people and you say the word or words that immediately come to your mind that reminds you of these people: Babe Ruth, Lance Armstrong, ...read more

    Acts 23 teaches us that “Flying high” for the Lord means we understand that our testimony – our witness - does impact the direction of nations and that the natural law of sowing (planting) and reaping (harvesting) is also a spiritual law. Our personal wit

    The church was designed to be an irresistible community. Yet people are not always drawn to it. How can we change that?

    4. An Irresistible Community: 1 Corinthians March 28, 2010 Loving If one word was all that was allowed to describe the person of God and the essence of who He is, if we had only one word we could use to show His character that word would have to be love.

    The Fearsome Storm

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 25, 2018
     | 6,554 views

    Today the church faces storms coming from all corners of society and even from within. How do we face such fearsome events? Maybe you face a personal storm in your marriage, job, or your health? Maybe its conflict in a ministry team? Hang on to Jesus.

    The Fearsome Storm Mark 4:35-41 35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over ...read more

    If you want to pass the tests of life and come out on the other side of your trials a better person, more like Christ, then with God’s help: Receive the Word – do it! Reflect on the Word – fix it! And practice true religion – live it!

    In her book Amazing Grace, writer and poet Kathleen Norris shares what she calls “the scariest story” she's ever heard about the Bible.

     | 7,394 views

    The Fruit of the Spirit is God’s love and work in us, the love of Christ flowing in through His Holy Spirit in and out of us! All because we have a personal relationship with Christ, we have God’s living presence in us, living in us. The result is we have

    Peace

    based on 1 rating
     | 20,218 views

    Peace movements are nothing new. There have always been those who cry "peace!" Many do so today. There are demonstrations and protests for peace. And it seems to me that any person who has a respect for life should want peace. Yet we do not have peace. Why?

    The invitation is clear: DRAW NIGH TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NIGH TO YOU... If the earth is iron and the heavens are brass maybe someone is moving away from God. John is the only person recorded to lay his hear on Jesus' breast? How about you? At Jesus' feet!

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jan 5, 2023
     | 1,252 views

    Tis message is not about "our Walk" nor "the Way" to have peace with God. It is an overview of Galatians and the person of Paul. I have comments about our multi ethnic ministry, as was the congregation in Galatia. Encouragement to read more in the bible this year, a goal.

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 21 – What The Lord Hates And God’s Sovereignty In Declaring Good Or Evil - Chapter 3:33-38 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2025
     | 346 views

    We look at what worthless persons do; what the Lord hates, and the system in the world including injustice. False prophets are considered – they are always around. The sovereign God dispenses good and ill, that is, eternal life and eternal death. Good and ill proceed from God in heaven.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 21 – WHAT THE LORD HATES AND GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY IN DECLARING GOOD OR EVIL - CHAPTER 3:33-38 INTRODUCTION FROM LAST TIME Last time we looked at the LORD causing grief but then applying compassion.

    Patience: Overcoming The Frenzied Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 5, 2023
     | 3,006 views

    By a show of hands, are you by nature a patient person? If you were to assign a percentage to your level of patience, what would it be? Is anyone at 100% on the patience level? Let me encourage you today by saying this no one is born patient. For patience is a work of the Holy Spirit.

    When you see a patient person, you’ve seen something rare. For it takes supernatural power to be patient. We live in a world obsessed with speed. We become angry if the video doesn’t download immediately or the fast food lines take too long. And who likes waiting in a doctor’s office, or waiting ...read more

    Elevate To The Next Level - "The People God Uses”

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 29, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,114 views

    One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.
