  • While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022
     | 1,976 views

    Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

    WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

    A look at the virtues of salvation every Born-Again Christian must intentionally grow in.

    At the moment of salvation, every Born-Again Christian put on "Christ," the "breastplate of faith and love,” and the “helmet of salvation" (1 Thess 5:8-9 ESV; Rom 13:145; Gal 3:27). We are implored to daily "put on": - The Armor of light (Rom 13:12) – To honor Jesus. ...read more

  • When Our Heart Walk After Our Eyes

    Contributed by James Dina on Jun 25, 2021
     | 3,475 views

    Watch your eyes and heart with great diligence. Guard your eyes lest they ensnare your heart. Look to your hearts, lest they be ensnared by your eyes. Where the eye is full of adultery, the heart is full of it too.

    WHEN OUR HEART WALK AFTER OUR EYES " If my step has turned out of the way, and my heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot has cleaved to mine hands;" (JOB 31:7) Can the heart walk after the eyes? OR Can the eye misled the heart? That's the question that comes across your ...read more

     | 1,473 views

    Every nation has need of discipline. God will punish an evil nation for disobedience by unrighteous leadership. Look at the nation of Judah and God's punishment of them. Yet, God will protect and comfort the righteous in captivity.

    As Americans, we have not seen a complete overthrow of our nation’s leadership. We have witnessed many attempts to assassinate our presidents, with a few successes. Our form of government seems to be stable. The democracy in which we live has been built upon Godly principles and appears to be a ...read more

    This sermon explores Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard, highlighting the unexpected grace of the landowner and how such grace can either offend or inspire us.

    We’re going to let Jesus be our teacher today by listening to one of his parables about the kingdom of God.
