    The purpose of our salvation and commission is to produce fruits that will bring glory to God. Faithfulness in bearing fruits will attract the blessings of God and commendation, while unfruitfulness will attract the wrath of God and eternal condemnation.

    CHOSEN FOR FRUITFUL LIVING Study Text: John 15: 1 - 16 Joh 15:1 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. Joh 15:2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away.

    The purpose of this message is to: Summarize the necessary steps in divorce recovery. Evaluate incorrect attitudes in divorced persons, due to their divorce. Assist divorced persons in developing correct attitudes regarding their divorce.

    In Matthew 19:3-9 Jesus talked about divorce and adultery. But Jesus told the woman caught in adultery, “Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.” John 8:11 Jesus made it clear that adultery was a sin, but certainly not the unpardonable sin. Therefore just like with any other sin, Jesus ...read more

    God’s will for us is to enter into His amazing plan and purpose to have great joy in His presence and in His grace. Now how we respond to this invitation, is very important!

    Opening illustration: Suppose you are rushed to the hospital, where a physician examines you and informs you that you are critically ill. He says you’ll die unless you have proper treatment.

    Our character is not set by genetics or the failures or mistakes of the past. We have a CHOICE. We can CHANGE. We can become someone capable of containing God and accomplishing His purposes.

    2 Timothy 2:20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. 21 If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do ...read more

    Teaching Our Children The Way To Go. Series

    Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 23, 2013
     | 7,429 views

    From the beginning, the family has played a critical role in the outworking of God's purposes on earth. As the fundamental building block of society, it was designed to provide the context for the nurture and training of each succeeding generation.

    The family was also designed to reflect and flesh out spiritual truth. Scripture uses the imagery of the family to speak of our relationship with God in Christ. As believers, we are adopted children in the household of God (Rom. 8:15-17). We are also heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17; Eph. 1:11; 3:6). ...read more

     | 11,053 views

    Realisation leads to Repentance, and that leads to Restoration. In realisation, we need fresh revelations of God. In repentance, we need to see the good purposes of God. In restoration, we seek to return to God.

    [Read Joel 2:11b-14] `Even now,` declares the LORD, `return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.` 13Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from ...read more

    Why am I here? Where am I going? What is my purpose? We focus on verses 1-7 as we consider our attitude in worshiping our Savior.

    Ecclesiastes 5:1-20 The Attitude of Worship! (Because of time constraint and emphasis, I only used the first seven verses. I completed the rest and had them in the notes for the church members to do further study.) Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather ...read more

    The Subject Of Labor For God

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 28, 2012
     | 5,180 views

    The believer is supposed to labor for God. Sounds like work! The believer’s life is to be focused on the will and work of God. A Christian’s purpose for being on earth is to serve God, to obey and work for Him.

    We’re still at the well with Jesus and the Samaritan woman. The woman has gone to town and witnessed to the people there about seeing the Messiah. The people responded to her witness and came to see for themselves. So this morning, we discuss the subject of labor for God. The believer is ...read more

    The purpose of this sermon is to motivate the hearers to “tell somebody” that there is a price tag to consider before committing oneself to following Jesus Christ. Because it could mean becoming a geographical nomad.
