    No matter what goes on in my life, I will contend for happiness. Therefore in the midst of the most difficult circumstance, whatever I am faced it, may be uncomfortable but it does not shake my joy. Whenever I feel the adversary trying to steal my joy, I must find and Content for my Happiness.

    TITLE: I THINK MYSELF HAPPY SCRIPTURE: ACTS 26:1-3 Happiness is a state of Mind. It differs greatly from Joy. We as believers understand Joy comes from God and God alone. Joy is the state not predicated upon your Circumstance. Man cannot give you Joy and man cannot take it away. No matter ...read more

    Thanksgiving; the day we set aside to give thanks for all we have. Although I'm glad we have a national holiday dedicated to being thankful, God's intention is that we would be in a continual mindset of giving thanks. We need to be living thankfully.

    THANKSLIVING INTRODUCTION: Thanksgiving; the day we set aside to give thanks for all we have...that is before we head off to the Black Friday sales!

    If you want to find joy in a world of pain: trust God who saves you; fear God who loves you: and serve God who helps you. To put it simply: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up” (James 4:10, NIV).

    Two years ago (2016), Russell Moore walked into a local bookstore where he overheard a man talk about why he hated Christmas music.

    Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024
     | 502 views

    Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

    For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

     | 4,008 views

    In our faith journey, we often face weariness, doubt, and discouragement. We may feel as if our strength is failing, and the challenges before us seem insurmountable. But amid these struggles, Isaiah reminds us that God is always near, ready to renew our strength and empower us to overcome.

    Waiting on God's Strength ? Isaiah 40:27–31 (ESV) ? 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God"? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the ...read more

    There are always two categories of people anywhere – those who seek God for personal gain and the ones who seek God for who He really is. Which group do we belong to?

    We remind ourselves that this series of messages are based on Act 11:21“And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) The Lord’s hand is a powerful hand, a hand that helps, a hand that exalts us, and His hand is at work in all areas of our ...read more

    With Jonah’s new purpose he is about to be used mightily. Do you desire to be used by God, but feel trapped in circumstances?

    We are looking at Jonah’s prayer as he prayed to God from an unlikely place, the stomach of a fish. To pray we must have faith in God. Sometimes we say there are no atheists in foxholes. Now we find out from Jonah that there are no atheists in fish bellies. Can you imagine what it would be like ...read more

    When God Calls Us

    based on 28 ratings
     | 5,770 views

    There is no blessing in serving God unless it begins with our being personally reconciled to Him. Such peace with God comes with a sacrifice - the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    For the fourth time Israel sinned, and God handed them over to their enemies, this time to the Midianites (6:1). God chastens His people’s sins. The familiar pattern of sinfollowed-by-chastening continued in Israel (see 3:7, 12; 4:1). Once again Israel’s predicament was a desperate one. The ...read more
