    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Aug 18, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,306 views

    My question has always been, if it's hard for a Christian then it must be non livable for an unsaved person.

    Call 91:1 in time of trouble Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

    Genuine prayer focuses on those things that are on God’s heart, not on our personal needs and desires.

    [“O Lord, Won’t You Buy Me a Mercedes Benz” video] The way that we pray says a lot about what we think about God. Unfortunately, Janis Joplin, and a lot of other people for that matter, view God as someone who exists to do their bidding and give them what they want – kind ...read more

    God is no respecter of persons but, when your glass is half empty it can sometimes feel that way.

    Is your glass of comfort with God half full or half empty? Comfort is such a wonderful thing to have with someone. We are comfortable with our spouse or mate, we are comfortable around our parents and grandparents and of course most of us are comfortable with ourselves but, is your glass of ...read more

     | 9,307 views

    In this sermon you will see how a person can be a stabilizer at church, at work, and through-out the world, for God.

    Today we honor our senior adults. If I were to pick one word that describes senior adults it would be the word stable. Senior adults give stability to our church, our community, and our country.

    Service with a smile—it makes a difference not only in the person who is served but also in the one who serves.

    When you go to a restaurant to eat does it make a difference to you if the server offers a smile or not? I think most of us respond better to service with a smile. One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Johnny was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. The ...read more
