    Marriage Belongs To God Series

    Contributed by David Owens on May 18, 2015
     | 6,420 views

    In this sermon, we explore the fact that God created marriage, therefore, marriage belongs to God. God's higher purpose for marriage is to proclaim the gospel. Much from this sermon comes from chapter 6 in David Platt’s book, Counter Culture.

    Introduction: A. Our sermon for today continues our series called Marriage Matters. 1. Last week, we discussed the fact that marriage ain’t easy. 2. We talked about some myths about marriage that can set us up for marriage failure. 3. Today, we want to explore the fact that marriage ...read more

    We see the remarkable providence of God in this chapter. Everything happens according to God's way and time to accomplish His purpose. No one can plan for this. It is humanly impossible to plan for it. Only God could have done it.

    We are going to see the remarkable work of God’s providence today. • In chapter 6 the tables are turned and evil is overcome by good. • And it happened almost imperceptibly, without us noticing it was coming or expecting it to turn out this way. • Let’s read the entire chapter – Esther ...read more

    Construction workers wear helmets on the job. Firefighters wear helmets. Soldiers in combat wear helmets. The purpose for the helmet is understandable. It is there to protect a very important part of the body, the head. We who are Christians also have helmets that we can and should wear.

    Alba 7-30-2023 THE ARMOR OF GOD: SALVATION Ephesians 6:17 When I was about 11 years old, I was returning home from visiting my friend. His name was Guy, but we all called him Pepper.

     | 18,025 views

    The concept and purpose of a divine call is not something we create, it is something God places within us. Have we responded to or rejected God’s specific call on our lives? Throughout history God has called people to Him and called people to serve Him. Let me tell you about some of them

    We continue in our series Hope Found Here and this month we are considering Hope in the Call or Calling of God. The dictionary defines calling as: a strong inner impulse toward a particular course of action especially when accompanied by conviction of divine influence.

    Angels: The Messengers And Servants Of God

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 26, 2021
     | 1,997 views

    There has been a tremendous amount of literature, testimony, and fascination with the subject of angels and their purpose and mission in this world. The Word of God alone teaches the truth about these beings and their service to God and His people.

    The symbols of God's majesty, promises, and acts toward His creation have been hijacked and misused by fallen humanity to promote agendas and teachings that are in total opposition to His Holy purposes and Being. The rainbow, the visible symbol of His promise not to destroy the earth with ...read more

    Peter calls us a "kingdom of priests" - what does he mean, and how can the Church carry out this purpose? This message explores what it means for God's people to be priests to the world.

    Title: "Lakewood: A Kingdom of Priests" Text: 1 Peter 2:1-12 ILLUS: Father Matthew Kelty spoke at Asbury College chapel on day – what intrigued me most was that the abbey was just an hours’ drive down the road…..I even spent a few meaningful days. Something pretty intriguing ...read more

    Jesus' trial before Pilate was a hodge-podge of differing desires. But they are all just background noise to what was really going on, and what God was using to bring about His purpose.

    Passage: Matthew 27:11-26 Intro: It’s very interesting to watch the wrangling in Washington these days. 1. debt-ceiling debate, a lot at stake. 2. we know that much going on “behind the scenes”, as people seek to gain the upper hand of power. 3. trade-offs, promises, ...read more

    As you consider the life and ministry of Jesus, what comes to mind? What was His purpose for coming to the earth? He came with purpose – a purpose ordained of God, the Father before the foundation of the world.

    The Gospel of the Kingdom Mark 1:14-15 “When you hear the bells ringing out at Christmas, think of the reason why Jesus was born. Dream not that He came to load your tables and fill your cups, but in your mirth look higher than all earth-born things. When you hear that in certain churches there ...read more

    Lent 3: Moses walked on holy ground and was commissioned to accomplish God’s purposes. We consider holiness, qualifications and efficacy of ministry in this message.

    There’s a cute little story of Moses appearing in the Rose Garden of the White House. When the White House staff recognized this important visitor, they quickly rushed in and told the President. He too was impressed and so he rushed out to welcome Moses. But to everyone’s shock, the very moment ...read more
