    Praying With Jesus: Overcoming Temptation Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019
     | 4,500 views

    As we pray, we recognize sources of temptation: the world, the flesh, and the devil. We commit ourselves to overcoming with God's help: Know what is right, tell the truth, build a life too good to lose, and play to win.

    PRAYING LIKE JESUS: OVERCOMING TEMPTATION—Matthew 6:9-13, 1 Corinthians 10:12-14 Have you ever said something like this? “I don’t know how it happened. I got sucked in, and I couldn’t seem to avoid it.” “Why did I say that? It was stupid and wrong—and I didn’t really mean to.” “I want that so bad! ...read more

    We need to be connected to a church family so that we can fulfill our calling to serve other believers in practical ways. We need the church and the church needs us. There are no insignificant roles to play in either the church or the body of believers.

    Do you know that you have spiritual gifts from God? That’s right. Each and every one of us has spiritual gifts from God. These gifts come in many different forms. Some are greater than others, but they are equally important. Each gift is essential for the benefit of all believers. The danger ...read more

    The Apostle Peter learns that God plays no favorites, that everyone matters to God! The Easter message is good news, that all our sins can be forgiven, that we can have hope of a new tomorrow. (Can be modified for other than Easter.)

    Acts 10:34-43 The Greatest Gift When my wife and I started a family, we formed our own family traditions, including for Easter.

    David And Goliath Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 8,315 views

    We live in an infinitely more secure and safe environment than our ancestors did. Even though we live, in many ways, in the safest possible world that’s ever existed, all indications are we are still quite anxious and fearful. In fact, we are more anxious; we are more fraught with fears.

    We’re doing a short series on courage, entitled Fearless: Possessing a Lionhearted Righteousness. It’s based off of Proverbs 28:1: “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1). Open your Bible to 1 Samuel 17 and bookmark Genesis 12. The Story of David ...read more

    Likewise, in the Bible, God put together a little instruction tag that should be attached to every church. If our church wants to operate correctly, run smoothly, and make the right plays, then it’s imperative that we follow God’s directions

    Making an Impact: Determined by Devotion I had the opportunity this week to play softball with the church team. I guess they were hard up for players.
