    God Is Calling You-But I Don't Know God

    Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Jan 25, 2016
     | 6,832 views

    This is #4 in our Series God Is Calling You- Sometimes people think they know God, but they really don't. We are all recreating God in our own image. This message deals with Saul's call into the ministry and his false views of Jesus.

    God Is Calling You: I Don’t Know Who You Are Malachi 1:6-14 Acts 9:1-9 January 24, 2016 We are in the final week of our series God is Calling You. We have looked at people who have been called, Who flat out did not want to accept the call. That was Moses. We’ve looked at people ...read more

    Roadwork Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
     | 5,024 views

    When you think of it, roadwork is a pretty good analogy of the journey of faith. God accepts us where we are but wants us to become like his Son. For most of us, that means there’s serious roadwork to do.

    Road Work Mark 8:34-38 My wife and I used to live Uptown on Octavia Street between Constance and Laurel just two blocks from Tchoupitoulas. At that time, the Port of Orleans was redoing Tchoupitoulas. When the street was dug up, they found that many of the feeder drainage pipes from the ...read more

    Fleeing From God Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Mar 6, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,838 views

    To escape the presence of God is not rational thinking, certainly for a prophet of God. But how many of us are rational when we reject God’s commands and escape his attention? And that leads us to consider how much Jonah is like us.

    Jonah 1:1-4 Fleeing from God 10/19/14 D. Marion Clark Introduction Responding to the call of God is a mixed bag among biblical characters. There is Abraham, the model of obedience. God calls him to leave his homeland and he leaves. God calls him to sacrifice his son, and he rises early the next ...read more

     | 5,637 views

    Hope is a significant key to finding in the journey of life because it is a wonderful gift from God. Hope will become a source of strength, power and courage in the face of life’s severest trials. Hope will bring you joy when you think there is no joy!

    Series: Finding Joy in The Journey Series: We need to find joy in the journey! Thesis of series: Joy needs to be experienced in the journey of life!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,300 views

    As we transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas we start thinking about the arrival of Jesus. We see nativity scenes and we read about the shepherds and the wise men. But do we stop to consider all the reasons why he came?

    WHY DID JESUS COME? INTRODUCTION: As we transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas we start thinking about the arrival of Jesus into the world. We see manger scenes depicting the baby Jesus with his mom and earthly father. We hear about the shepherds and the wise men. It was the most exciting news ...read more

    Nobody Is Better Than Anybody

     | 9,064 views

    When we are faced with someone who thinks they are better than we are we try to rise above this through the reassurance that we would never treat anyone else the way they treat us. But with that kind of attitude, are we really any better?

    At one point in our lives, I am sure that we have all have come across someone that has an “I am better than everyone else, especially you” mentality. I myself have encountered this kind of attitude at multiple points throughout my life. I have experience it in the food service industry in which I ...read more

    The Unrequited Love Of God

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 1, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,645 views

    The passionate love of God is the blazing fire at the heart of all creation. God thinks about you every moment of every day. His love will never vary or change. That God would love even the vilest of sinners is the greatest mystery of eternity.

    God has commanded that every human being love Him with EVERYTHING in them (Deut 6:5). The GREAT commandment supersedes all others. Sadly, in the lives of too many Christians, God’s love is unrequited. There are some Christians who are not comfortable with the way God truly feels about them, so ...read more

    Remember Your Creator

     | 18,954 views

    Two men think about life as they face the end of their journey on earth. Has life been meaningless or relevant? Do they look forward to a joyless process of degradation, a painful descent towards the valley of death, or to something more glorious beyond the horizon?

    [Sermon preached on 11 November 2018, 25th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] A man of about my age—sixty, give or take a few years—sits down, takes up pen and parchment, and starts to write. Or perhaps he calls his secretary and starts to dictate. He senses that his life is ...read more

    Joseph's Dreams

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 6, 2016
     | 6,650 views

    When it comes to dreaming, many readers think Matthew is the dreamer by the way he uses Old Testament Scripture to back up his story. Is Matthew too anxious to justify his story that he twists Scripture to suit his purpose?

    Matthew 2:19-23 Joseph’s Dreams 12/22/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction Do you sometimes wake up tired because of vivid dreams? I imagine Joseph had that problem. Matthew records four dreams through which an angel of the Lord spoke to him. The first dream was to assure him that he could ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,075 views

    Life can tend to become a trap of habits and thinking patterns that define us. We have opportunities before us. Leave your comfort zone and do more than you ever dreamed... Bend your back and get to work.

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Text: Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

     | 4,181 views

    What are we doing with our time? Time can make us angry and bitter? Do we realize time is limited and we need to be wise stewards of our time. How did thinks look in 1917? How will they look in 2117?

    Develop A Christ-Filled Mind

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,833 views

    How we think determines how you believe, and eventually how you act and respond to life. The battlefield is certainly in the mind. Like a tree cannot help that birds comes and nest in it, we cannot stop the thoughts from entering.

    Was John talking only about our appearance when he said, “We shall be like Him” - especially when the Bible urges us to become more & more like Jesus in the ways that we think, talk & behave?

    Solus Christus - Salvation Through Christ Alone Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 17, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 151,379 views

    Solus Christus is one of the five basic doctrines re-captured after the Reformation. Jesus, the Christ, so saturates the NT that anyone reading through the Bible would be amazed to find that people would think salvation could be found in anyone else!

    Please open your Bibles to Acts 4:5-12 which we will read in a few minutes. A couple of weeks ago we took a look at the five “Solas” that were established after the Protestant Reformation came along in 1517. The Latin word Sola simply means something that stands alone, something that is the only ...read more
