    So, how mature are you in the Christian faith. Have you moved forward from the day that you came to know Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, or are you still in Spiritual kindergarten?

    Abraham: Following In the Footsteps of Faith MOVING TOWARD MATURITY Genesis 15:7-23 Intro: Hopefully, we all know what faith is.

    The Sunday School teacher asked the class " What do you think were Jesus first words when he came out of the tomb?" A little girl shouted frantically I know!, I know!" Extending her arms into the air she said " TA DA!". Beloved "TA DA the Lord has risen!"

    When you are in Christ, when Christ lives in you, when Christ is your firm foundation, no situation, no person, no force, no power can bring you down.

    Introduction Text: Matthew 7:24-27 No building can stand without a foundation. The foundation of a building is the lowest part of the building. It is usually below ground level. When you look at a fully completed building, you don’t see the foundation of the building. The foundation is the ...read more

    Train Your Child In The Way Of The Lord

     | 4,227 views

    The holy practice of Job is reflected in the care of his children. Every time his children would party, he would always be there to offer a sacrifice (Job 1:4-5). How many fathers really ever get to think about the consequences of their children’s sins?

    TRAIN YOUR CHILD IN THE WAY OF THE LORD "His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the ...read more

     | 5,651 views

    Are you going to take the effort to listen to God? How has your faith panned out for God? Will you step out even when God tests your faith by making the most difficult sacrifices in your life? Do you obey God at every level?

    Opening Illustration: Narrate the story of our call to the USA as missionaries. Introduction: The Lord's call for Abram to journey to the Promised Land is often equated with a call to missionary service. For the missionary, there is a sense where God has called them from the ease and security of ...read more

    We that are saved by the grace of God are forevermore safe and secure, nothing nor any person can change or alter that fact, there is no other place that is as safe as being IN Christ Jesus.

    6-23-12 ~ PSALM 4: 1-8 ~ ALL THAT ARE IN THE LORD JESUS ARE SAFE Despite all the many problems that David found himself in, he found comfort in the safety of the Lord, the same is true, or should be true for we that are saved as well. In David's ...read more

    This Jesus Is Alive!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2024
     | 1,985 views

    Jesus is not some historical person -- He's alive today and relevant to our lives! Thomas, the skeptic, asked for unreasonable proofs of the resurrection, but Jesus proved it beyond all doubt!

    THIS JESUS IS ALIVE! John 20:19-20, 24-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Little Stinkers 1. Ms. Smith was assigned to be a monitor on the playground and caught little Johnny making ugly faces and scaring other kids. 2.

    No Condemnations Series

     | 1,637 views

    The Law of Moses was powerful to punish but powerless to forgive and redeem. The carnal mind leads to fulfilling the desires of the carnality. Spiritual minds long to fulfill the desires of spirituality. The mind directs the life of a person.

    Romans 08:01-17 No Condemnations Romans 8:1-4 Freed from Sin and Death The Law of Moses was powerful to punish but powerless to forgive and redeem. God sent his son Jesus Christ to have the nature of the sinful man but without sin. However, he became the sin offering through his sacrifice. Jesus ...read more

     | 12,666 views

    Abraham faced, and passed, probably the greatest test of faith given to a man (except for Jesus). Today we'll focus on Genesis 22 where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. We'll see that It takes faith to put God first.

    IT TAKES FAITH (part seven) Hebrews 11:17-19 Today we'll be looking at probably the greatest test of faith given to a man followed by the greatest display of trust and obedience (next to Jesus', of course). In this story we have God commanding Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. But this is the ...read more

    The answer to this crippled man’s need is not in the troubled water but faith in the person, Jesus Christ. His struggles and decisions are not unlike our own as we respond to God.

    Getting Well and Staying Well Fortifying the Foundations #12 John 5:1-15 7-13-03 Intro: As we read our text this morning I will touch on a couple of technical matters that are helpful to understand but not necessary to the flow of the message.

     | 17,039 views

    As Joseph reconnects with his brothers, he models for us three steps toward reconciliation: 1) Turn away from revenge. 2) Test for repentance. And 3) Trust in God's sovereignty. Judah's sacrifice reminds us of our Savior Jesus who reconciled us to God.

    Genesis 45:1-15 The Joy of Reconciliation We are covering the amazing story of the Old Testament character of Joseph in two Sundays. The actual story covers 14 chapters of Genesis. I urge you to read it on your own. It is a fascinating account of the worst kind of betrayal and the most amazing ...read more

     | 5,434 views

    While much of the world was unaware that anything special had taken place, when Jesus Christ rose from the dead it was more than just another Sunday. Because of that day we have a Savior Worth Serving. He requires selflessness, sacrifice, and service.

    NOT JUST ANOTHER SUNDAY A Savior Worth Serving Matthew 16:21-27 INTRODUCTION: A. While much of the world was completely unaware that anything special or unique had taken place, when Jesus Christ rose from the grave, the world as a whole changed dramatically 1.

    Blessed Are The Poor Widows

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 10, 2015
     | 9,931 views

    God measures giving not by what we give, but by what we keep for ourselves. He measures the gift by the sacrifice involved. That is why Jesus valued the widow’s gift. She sacrificed her well-being in order to show her love for God.

    When I was preparing my message for today, I came across a story about a little boy who went to church one Sunday morning to get out of the cold. He had been trying to sell newspapers, but no one had passed by. He entered the church, hoping to pass an hour unnoticed in the back row. The minister ...read more
