    God Vs Satan - The War In Your Home Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 18, 2013
     | 3,671 views

    We can judge what we see, and we typically do, but, God tells us that it's the heart of a person that matters to Him. This is why it's important for Jesus followers to live as examples of what it looks like to use the spiritual resources that God gives.

    Paul teaches us that there is a spiritual war that rages for the souls of people who walk the earth. Satan is a con artist. He's the best. The reason people refuse to deny themselves to follow Jesus is because satan deceives them into thinking they don't have to. God and satan are enemies, and ...read more

    According to the text, lukewarm is a condition of being neither hot nor cold in one’s spiritual attitude toward the things of God. The lukewarm person doesn’t protest the things of God, but neither does he promote them. He just kind of balances on the f

    According to the text, lukewarm is a condition of being neither hot nor cold in one’s spiritual attitude toward the things of God. The lukewarm person doesn’t protest the things of God, but neither does he promote them. He just kind of balances on the fence of apathy. It’s important, if you are ...read more

    At the beginning of every year we make decisions to improve our life. We try to lose weight, kick that bad habit, or just be a better person. In this sermon we explore how to have true peace in our lives which only comes through God.

    These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. – John 16:33   * This is the time of year that suicide is up because so many people are depressed and suffer from a lack of peace in their ...read more

    Rest For The Rest Of Creation Series

    Contributed by Josh Foster on Mar 6, 2014
     | 5,353 views

    In the commands regarding the Creation we find echoes of Eden. Even as we don't leave human sin to run rampant in our personal lives, we should also seek to manage God’s creation in God-honoring and God-pleasing ways.

    God has enough or more than enough to meet any need we have. We have to believe that he wants our needs to be met, we have to be a consistent person to be in his flow, and we need to be grateful and appreciate what he does for us.

    On Judgment Day, we will be called on to give a personal report to God. That report will be based on the choices we make here and now. We can make any changes we want to here and now. It will be too late to make them when we stand before God.

    Have you ever been afraid to use your gifts, talents or skills? Have you ever thought that your skills and talents were not appreciated by other people?

    Is Thanksgiving A Foreign Idea To You?

     | 2,503 views

    We are sometimes surprised when we hear a non-church person giving God praise for something done in their life and we are surprised by it. Maybe we are even a little embarrassed since we may have received a similar blessing but forgot to give thanks.
