    Pray First

    We are never stronger than when we bow our hearts and heads in prayer. It is to be our first option, not our last resort.

    PRAY FIRST 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 • For this month I have prayed that, collectively and individually, we might get a ‘FRESH START’ in our walk with God and His ministry for us. Even though I am a part of the older generation, I don’t want to be ‘stuck’ nor do I ...read more

    Learning A Lot From Lot

     | 14,781 views

    Lot's life demonstrates where we go when we look at what we like instead of looking up for the Lord's guidance. Loving God is learned through life's challenges more than life's pleasures.

    Lot’s name is mentioned only 4 times in the New Testament. Three times in Luke 17 and once in 2 Peter 2:7. In both places the scriptures are talking about God’s judgment. Here are the places and contexts: Luke 17: 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in ...read more

    Seeing the vilest of Jewish society coming to Christ, the enemies of our Lord Him muttered, "This man receiveth sinners." What a grand and glorious truth - Christ receiveth sinful men!

    Christ Receiveth Sinful Men Luke 15:1-2 Seeing the vilest of Jewish society coming to Christ, the enemies of our Lord muttered "This man receiveth sinners."

    There are times in our spiritual lives when we want all the blessings of heaven, but with the least amount of sacrifice possible. There are times when we live our Christian lives in such a way that we seem to be saying, “What is the least amount that I ha

     | 48,774 views

    A sermon on the importance of truth: Its reality, the ability to know it and the difference it makes.

    At one point in the history of the world, truth was very important and people sought to know truth and thereby gain wisdom. It used to be that people who searched after truth were called “lovers of wisdom”: Philosophers (phileo meaning to love, and sophos meaning wisdom). Today, philosophers are ...read more

    The accuser may tell you, your not worthy of Gods Goodness and blessings, But that’s not what Gods word has to say about the situation, now is it! Lets go a little bit farther.....

    I Am, I Can, I Will! Deut 2:1-3 KJ 1. Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days. 2.

    In light of Mother's Day, we must depend on God to do what only God can do, but we also must give what we have if we are to truly join in the process.

    Intro On this Mother‟s Day we are reminded of the profound role of a parent. I believe that a mother is nothing less than a mediator of God‟s love. A mother is role that is by nature giving… sacrificially giving of life. They give nourishment from their own resources… and ...read more

    Choices?

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,042 views

    Most of the time what seems a good choice in the sight of the world is not necessarily the right and good choice in the sight of God. Things might seem very good on the surface but for the end result and eternity sake they just don’t level up. And what is

    Opening illustration: The teenager expressed the view of many. Speaking of the wild parties he attended, the 16-year-old declared, “Without these parties, my life wouldn’t have any purpose.” Attitudes like this result from a string of bad choices that multiply until life loses its meaning.

    I want to look at 7 things that are proven by loving one another.

    Out of the last 16 messages out of 1 John, we have heard at least a dozen of them mention that we should love one another. I guess God figures we should never get tired of hearing it and definitely never get tired of practicing it. The 6th test that proves that we really love God, once again, has ...read more

    Jesus, The Teacher Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Mar 17, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,135 views

    When Jesus taught, he did so in parables. Now this was not unique in Jesus’ day for most rabbis or teachers taught in parables. The Greek word for parable means “thrown along something else.” Parables are about comparisons.

    Jesus, the Teacher Mark 4:1-20 For the past several weeks, we’ve been looking at the Gospel of Mark through two questions: “Who is Jesus?” and “What meaning does he have for our lives?” We’ve learned that Jesus came to preach that the kingdom of God is near, he ...read more

    In a world of greed and materialism it’s difficult for us to accept "no" from God. But sometimes God says no.

    I made a statement last week in the message that I want to repeat this morning … “Sometimes, God says no.” And what I want to do this morning is give us a couple of the many examples of God saying no. Moses’… It was Moses hearts’ desire to go into the Promised Land but because he didn’t follow ...read more
