    Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians serves as a terrific model for praying for each other (and our churches, in general).

    Just for fun, let’s start with a trick question today. How many letters to the Ephesians are there in the New Testament? Well, I said it was a trick question. There are at least two. There is one that we’ll be looking at this morning and there is one in Revelation 2. You see, Ephesus was an ...read more

    This sermon focuses on gaining peace and confidence when the future seems uncertain and worries abound.

    We’re in a very appropriate series considering what we just talked about...a series called uncertainty. We live in uncertain times and last week Chad reminded us that this book was written to people who lived in uncertain times. Whether it was Moses leading people out of slavery, or David facing ...read more

    Fasting Is Not For Super-Saints Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jul 6, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,567 views

    This message examines the 40 times fasting is found in the Bible and discovers that fasting is not for the super spiritual, but for the super-sorrowful, most often because they realize they are super-sinners.

    Fasting Is Not for Super-Saints One day, Kathy Cash’s husband, of Dallas, Texas, announced to the family that he was going to fast and pray. Ginny, their 5-year-old, had recently learned that fasting meant not eating. “No!” she shouted. “You can’t fast! You’ll die!” Her dad carefully ...read more

    It seems that somehow we have lost the focus as to whose birthday we are celebrating, and it seems the focus of Christmas has been lost in the giving and receiving of gifts.

    Sunday Morning, December 12th, 2004 Let us pray. Welcome... Each day we are drawing closer home. Last Tuesday night one of our church sisters from Cleveland passed away, and on Thursday night another sister who had moved to Atlanta passed away.

    staying faithful through trials. Rejoice because they are doing you good.

    This morning, I want us to look at the biblical viewpoint of the trials that occur in our lives. And the first thing that I want to do is to differentiate between consequences and trials.

    Submissive Series

    Contributed by Rick Stacy on Dec 2, 2014
     | 7,779 views

    Two weeks ago I taught that the core principle of satisfaction was rooted in giving. Not spending, not getting, not working, not saving, not investing, not begging, and not gambling. The only way to achieve a satisfied life is by giving.

    Why? There are a lot of things in the world that just don’t make sense. They are mysteries to me. Here are a few of the things I wonder about: As we get older in school why do the desks get smaller? This is the desk I had in elementary school. Here is the desk I had in Junior HI.

     | 27,446 views

    When we cry out to God and nothing happens, how can we help but feel something's not quite right. We oftentimes suggest that the problem is on the side of God and not on the side of the Listener. Be assured God does respond.

    TITLE: WHEN GOD IS SILENT SCRIPTURE: PSALM 22:1-2 / PSALM 102:1-7 A few nights ago I was watching the news and as News Anchors were switching over quickly to one another, something did not go right.
