    It is a blessing for us to be able to come to church and hear the gospel preached over and over again. Why?

    Because of two reasons: (1) It is a blessing, when you consider the fact that some have never heard the gospel. We are blessed to have heard it preached over and over again. (2) Another reason is because the more we can hear something, the more we receive from it. For example, it is ...read more

     | 2,533 views

    Envy is a condition so poisonous that we’re not able to rejoice in the moment and enjoy what we have, but instead, find fault with it and say, “This isn’t good enough.” The root of it is that we don't trust God is caring for us.

    The Curse Of Sin - Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 17, 2021
     | 1,862 views

    Sin left a curse. God’s curse is the absence of His blessings and the fall of Adam and Eve is only one of two places in the Bible where God pronounces a curse (the other being on Cain). There is a greater reality we often fail to see and that is there is hope in the curse.

    God saw a lowly farmer like Gideon as a mighty warrior. When God looks at each of us, He sees a mighty warrior too. However, that warrior doesn’t appear unless we put our trust in the Lord and rely entirely on Him in faith.

    Our text today will come from the New International Version. In our message we’re going to view a story about an ordinary man who had an intense struggle with trusting God, and this man’s name was Gideon. We will learn how when Gideon finally trusted the Lord, that he understood what it meant to ...read more

    This world is full of Satan's schemes and activities to lure Christians to give up their faith. But in this sermon, we will see a perfect example set by Jesus in order to be effective in our vigilance against the enemy.

    Intro: Last week we were able to learn that Satan is only a voiceless roaring lion who wanted to set fear and worries in us by using his defenseless roar. That’s why, if we recall our theme this month “I am Vigilant, I am Prepared for Eternity” we are called to be watchful and be on guard always as ...read more
