    Most of us go through times when we 'feel' God is not listening to our prayers. From Isaiah 59, this message gives some of the process for this season in our lives.

    Dear God, Please Hear Me (Why God doesn’t answer) Isaiah 59:1-21 * A young man asked his girlfriend, “Can I kiss you?” and she was silent. Next, he asked, “May I kiss you?” again, she was silent. Finally, in frustration he said, “Are You deaf?” Without ...read more

    God's Plan For Us

    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Nov 26, 2003
    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,253 views

    Is the Christian life a constant challenge to improve and please God, or a soft rocking chair of comfort as we wait for heaven? The truth is somewhere in the middle.

    Sometimes it seems that the Christian community is divided into two different camps. One camp views the Christian life as one of a constant challenge to do better, to try harder, to work to please God. And the other extreme tends to see the Christian life as basking in the warm glow of salvation ...read more

    God Honors Those Who Honor Him

     | 9,231 views

    The Bible is clear with respect to what pleases God and those things that do not please Him. God wants to honor His people, but they must honor Him as well.

    The sons of Eli did not honor God at all. Eli was guilty of honoring his sons more than he honored God. He ended up paying a terrible consequence for his actions. 1 Sam. 2:29 How must we honor God? I. With your Time ---David sought the Lord early ---Samuel began as a child in his ...read more

    This sermon is designed to help aid those individuals who struggle with being accepted by others.

    When God is pleased, nothing else matters (Luke 3:21-22; Colossians 3:23-24) Too often we as human beings seek outward affirmation from those around us. While there is nothing wrong with being liked or thought well of, there is a danger in seeking such types of affirmation. As humans, ...read more

    A reminder to have faith, for it is impossible to please God without it.

    I had some trouble figuring out what I was going to say tonight; but in my spirit, I just couldn’t get away from "going back to the basics". So I sat around listening to tapes and mp3s from yesteryear of some young ministers speaking. Tapes of Evangelist Dustin Ivy, Presbyter Rusty Gwinner and of ...read more

    Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017
     | 8,583 views

    This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

    Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more
