    Wrapped - Pt. 2 - In Humility Series

    Contributed by Steve Ely on Dec 10, 2016
     | 5,836 views

    No one pays that much attention to the wrapping. It’s what is inside that counts . . . right? Maybe this Christmas we should stop and consider how the gift was wrapped.

    Wrapped Pt. 2 - In Humility I. Introduction There is usually very little attention paid to the wrappings. Even if great time and effort is made to make sure each corner is tucked and folded perfectly. Even if the bow is picked to match exactly. Even if every seam is exact. Most of the time all the ...read more

    Seeing The Possibilities

    Paul faced much opposition in ministry. He was forced to change his plans on numerous occasions, and yet he chose to see the possibilities instead of the obstacles. We too will face difficulty, but we must maintain our perspective, seeing possibilities.

    Seeing the Possibilities 2 Corinthians 2: 12-17 As you read and study Paul’s letters to the Corinthian church, you discover his ministry there was difficult at best. The church was situated in a city that was morally corrupt, and its influence was showing up in negative ways within the church. ...read more

    Understanding and dealing with hallucinations

    April 1 is usually known as All fools day. Usually before 12 noon people around the world go around playing all kinds of pranks and practical jokes on their friends. Some of these jokes can be expensive and even cost you your friendship when you carry them too far. In this prayer session I want to ...read more

    A Bibilical Deacon

    I want us to look at what the BIBLE gives as qualifications of a deacon. Also, the question sometimes comes up, "Do we really need deacons now?" I believe that stems from a misunderstanding of what a deacon should actually be.

    The church has many positions that are filled with Godly men and Godly woman, but the Bible only teaches of two offices: 1) Bishop, Elder, Overseer, or Pastor, and 2) Deacon. Churches today are filled with men who may hold the TITLE of deacon, but their lives disqualify them from actually being a ...read more

    The Other Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013
     | 10,717 views

    There are great lessons we can learn from the Ethiopian Eunuchs in scripture. In this lesson we will examine an event in the life of the less well-known Ethiopian Eunuch, Ebed-Melech.

    Turn to the story of the Ethiopian eunuch… Where did you turn, Acts 8? That’s not the eunuch I want us to look at this evening. Introduction. In the dark days prior to Jerusalem’s destruction, when the people had rejected God and His word, a foreigner chose to trust in God; the ...read more

    A godly father lays a firm foundation for the next generation to build upon.

    “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right; honor your father and mother (it is the first command with a promise), that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth. As for you fathers, never exasperate your children, but bring them up in the discipline and ...read more

    What Is Your Calling? (Part 3) Series

    We also receive our call at just the right time. How often do we rush into something and end up failing because we ran ahead of God? How many times have we decided to go in a different direction because we did not have the patience to wait for him?

    Opening Illustration: The struggle I had with my personal calling - • I knew I had a call upon my life since childhood but was running from it because I saw that there was nothing lucrative in it for me or my family … it meant the cross and suffering … I wasn’t ...read more

    Pergamos: A Compromising Commitment

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 20, 2020
     | 5,404 views

    Pergamos was a prominent city, but there was much idolatry and immorality there. Some of the believers had remained faithful, but others had compromised their stand for the Lord. Jesus admonished them to abide faithful.

    Pergamos: A Compromising Commitment Revelation 2: 12-17 Pergamos was a beautifully situated city with an air of royalty about it. It sat on top of a huge mountain, arising ever so steeply and majestically out of a beautiful valley. The city's citizens could see the Mediterranean Sea some ...read more

    An Old Testament lesson of what Jesus teaches in his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:1-12.

    They stared into the flames. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego watched as the soldiers who had brought them to this place fell over dead due to the overwhelming heat.

     | 7,959 views

    Of the many blessings we enjoy through our relationship with Christ, I am especially thankful for the fellowship with those of like faith. I am blessed to be part of the church, the body of Christ.

    Thankful for the Church 1 Thessalonians 1: 1-4 Over the past few weeks, we have been discussing particular blessings received through our relationship with Christ, and the thankfulness we should possess for those blessings.

     | 11,054 views

    What is Success? I believe everyone wants to be successful. Not too many people walk around in life saying I want to fail at this or fail at that, but we all desire success.

    What Does Success Look Like? What is Success? Acts 13:36 - "Now when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.

    "this Is The Day The Lord Has Made”

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 18, 2020
     | 15,752 views

    The two challenges to joy are adversity and ingratitude. It takes a choice to rejoice; I WILL be glad and rejoice in it! Circumstances don’t determine joy, it comes from the Lord, in spite of circumstances.

    "THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE” Psalm 118:20-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE SOUR INTERVIEW 1. Some people have a knack for picking things. Hannah went to a citrus Farm and asked Henry, the manager, if there are any jobs available at the farm. 2. He told her that the only job ...read more

    Greetings To The Church Series

     | 4,827 views

    Paul's welcome in Thessalonica was less than favorable. Although he had been ill-treated while there, being forced to flee for fear of harm, his commitment and love for the church never diminished.

    Greetings to the Church 1 Thessalonians 1: 1-4 In the book of Acts we discover Paul receiving the Macedonian call, Acts 16: 8-10. This led Paul initially to Philippi and then on to Thessalonica. In that day, Thessalonica was the prominent seaport and capital city of the Roman province of ...read more
