    I've Had Enough

     | 4,454 views

    When we finally have had enough of brokenness, marginalization, or irrelevance, we will find that making our way through the crowds to reach Jesus can give us victory.

    “And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. ...read more

    Father’s Day Message - The Good Father

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,207 views

    Our God is a Loving Father! What is God really like? Some people think the most important question of life is “Do you believe in God?” But a more important question is “What kind of God do you believe in?”

    Luke 15 has been called the lost and found department of the Bible. In it we find (1) the lost sheep that was brought home with joy, Lu 15:4-7; (2) the lost silver that was found with joy, Lu 15:8-10; and the lost son that had been a prodigal, but returned to his father's house, and was ...read more

    People won't always like us and they shut us out, but Jesus will not reject us.

    There are people in this world who just never fit in, who never find a place, who never get invited. Charlie brown for instance. Here’s a typical scene from his life: Charlie Brown is walking along when he approaches two girls. One of them says, “Well, what are you doing here?” Then both girls ...read more

    Faith Like A Dog

     | 7,888 views

    Faith in Jesus brought the Canaanite woman into his presence. Her faith was pleasing to Jesus, and he blessed her through it, and included her into table fellowship with him. Faith in Jesus makes us acceptable to him and a delight.

    Matthew 15: 21-28 Faith Like A Dog Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. The lake district had been a busy place for Jesus, calming the storms in people’s lives and dealing with their unfulfilled needs. It was also a place where Jesus was challenged by some of ...read more

    Worship The Lord Series

    Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Dec 4, 2022
     | 1,083 views

    Many of the Psalms are psalms of worship. Worship is something that has little appeal to the overly practical man. God only accepts worship in spirit & in truth. Therefore we must be instructed on how to worship in a way that pleases God.

    Part of this Psalm was written in response to the bringing home of the ark after it had been captured by the Philistines. David was so pleased and this is how he responded. • Worship to God is not merely what you do in church but how you respond to the circumstances that take place in your ...read more

    In The Garden Of Surrender: Jesus' Despair And His Acceptance Of God's Will

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Sep 11, 2024
     | 186 views

    In this moment, we see a side of Jesus that resonates with all of us—the side that feels pain, fear, and even the desire for a different path. Yet, in this same moment, we also see the ultimate example of surrender and faith as Jesus submits to His Father’s will.

    Brothers and sisters in Christ, today we gather to reflect on one of the most poignant and human moments in the life of our Savior: His time of despair in the Garden of Gethsemane. In this moment, we see a side of Jesus that resonates with all of us—the side that feels pain, fear, and even the ...read more

    This is not a PC sermon. There comes a point in the lives of believers when we must speak what God speaks regardless of the consequences. Micaiah did exactly that. He is a hero to us and an example to follow.

    1. People Pleasing The following is reported to be a true story regarding Berkley, CA: In 1990, the Berkeley City Council passed a law changing the name of Columbus Day to Native American Day because Columbus wasn't nice to the Indians.
