    This message is to challenge listeners to lay aside excuses (biblical buts) and to begin seeking Him in every area of our lives.

    Daring to Make a Stand for God Today’s verses teach me about “Biblical Buts". Biblical buts? Yes, we all have buts. Some are small, but most are usually pretty big. Although some may be bigger than others, we all have them. Some are so big that others try to hide behind them. ...read more

    Even though the focal verse of this sermon is: 2 Peter 3:18 - the outline comes from Ephasians 4:22-24. Throw off the old - put on the new.

    Growing In God’s Grace Our focus verse for today is found in Second Peter chapter three verse eighteen. Please follow along with me as I read: “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 ...read more

     | 5,131 views

    This message deals with the process involved in biblical vision. Just because one is led by God to see what He intends for a particular work, does not mean that all will remain static, and without obstacles.

    Vacillating Vision Text: Ex. 3:7-10; Ex. 4:29-31; Prov. 29:18 Intro: When one uses the word “vision” he could be talking about any number of things. One could be talking about the faculty of sight, a perception gained by supernatural means, or simply intelligent foresight. However, the biblical ...read more

    God is love, and we should be living in that love, but many people do not understand that how it works, and it is such a natural process, yet it is cannot be demonstrated by the world.

    Two weeks ago my Sermon was on ministry, our ministry to exact, and it was based on Jesus asking Simon Peter if he loved him: and as he did, we examined the overflow of this love, God’s love, onto the lives of others. Today I would like to continue with that sermon and see how faithful and ...read more

    This message explores the spiritual discipline of fasting from the perspective of overcoming the stronghold of food. Extensive inspiration for this message taken from Mike Bickle’s "The Rewards of Fasting."
