    God’s Word is the greatest treasure in the universe. It is the greatest treasure in the universe because it not only supplies our physical needs, it also strengthens us so that we can persevere and achieve victory. Now the questions that remain are: wha

    In Genesis 24, we read the story of the servant's search for a wife for Isaac. There are historical incidentals here that don't apply to us today. But there are timeless principles that apply to discerning and achieving our goals, under the hand of God.

    This sermon on Philippians 3:7-8 explores why the Apostle Paul counted his most impressive achievements as worthless garbage, revealing the radical re-evaluation of life that occurs when we discover the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ.

    Title: The Divine Audit: Recalculating the Worth of Your Life Text: Philippians 3:7-8 (KJV) At certain times in our lives, it’s wise to take stock.

    In today's world, the church appears to be busy, but is it truly fulfilling God's mission? Are we, as a church, actively 'occupying' or merely resting on past achievements while waiting for the Lord's return? This sermon explores these questions and calls for a more proactive approach to our faith.

    When we look at the modern church, we see that it is busy as a whole. But are we truly accomplishing what God has given us? Is the church actively occupying, or are we simply resting on past achievements and waiting for the Lord's return? In Luke 19:13, Jesus called his ten servants, gave them ten ...read more

     | 4,842 views

    Many Biblical characters changed their destinies thru prayers. Destiny is never a product of laziness. Jacob sought his with tears & prayers. Hannah sought hers thru fasting. David achieved his thru flight & isolation. God never rewards lazy Christians.

    This series looks at some of the things that Christianity teaches that many Christians are not in agreement with.

    Today is Part 2 of What’s Wrong With Christianity. As I said in Part 1, these messages are not asking what’s wrong with Christianity.

    The Bible teaches about an instance in which king Hezekiah received a letter from Sennacherib, king of Assyria and his most determined enemy. Sennacherib ordered complete surrender, but not without first diplaying his military prowess and personal pride.

A son whose far away fighting in a war; a father or mother who writes to tells us the illness has passed; a sister who informs us the baby has finally arrived. But there are also those letters that we would never like to ...read more
