     | 21,203 views

    Many Christians do not fully understand what proper praise and worship are, and they do not realize the utmost importance of praise and worship. This sermon will cast light upon what real praise and worship are, what it means and how it benefits us and G

    Please turn to PSALM 73:27, 28 as we read God’s Word. ‘Those who are far from You will perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You. But as for me, it is good to be near God.

    based on 106 ratings
     | 8,204 views

    This message was designed to help its audience understand how worry runs contrary to God’s will for our lives. It is intended to encourage people to let God build their lives free from the anxiety that saps our lives away one crisis at a time.

    Worry – The Life Stealer Celebration Service April 14, 2002 Last week we spent some time talking about rest and how important rest is to us. We discovered that not only did Jesus set an example of rest for us, but that even God Himself rested on the seventh day and consecrated it. But the truth is ...read more

    The Wrath & Righteousness Of God Revealed

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 8, 2002
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,383 views

    Our study through the book of Romans 1 shows us a God who loves humans, but must reveal His wrath on anything that is not like Him. It is one of the best chapters in the Bible to clearly understand God’s righteous character, and our fallibility.

    Why is there evil in the world? How can a loving God condemn anyone to hell? Does God condemn me when I do wrong? How can I be a Christian and yet still sin? How do law and faith work together? Where do I find help and hope? What happens to the Jews after they rejected Jesus? How am I supposed to ...read more

    “We can live forty days without food, eight days without water, four minutes without air, but only a few seconds without hope”....How do we understand and therefore respond to the kind of world we are living in today?

    Our world is experiencing an uncertain time, a defining moment in the history of this planet. That is not an over dramatization of the events of the last month but rather a prophetic perspective of the years ahead. It seems summed up by the lament of a volunteer rescue worker in New York City, ...read more

    based on 110 ratings
     | 68,586 views

    No one gets to where God wants them to be without a fight. If you are going to come to the place where God is calling you you’ve got to understand that you are in for a fight but know that with God you can break out of the enemy’s grasp.

    Isaiah 54:1-8,17 (3) I’m Breaking Out H Lee Clay I have lived long enough to appreciate the fact that anytime that you are trying to go to a new place or new level in your life and the enemy comes against you, you will tend to exercise a proclivity or instinct to hold on to everything you ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,340 views

    If most people haven’t read God’s word, they aren’t seeing Christ’s command, and there’s nothing in their hearts for the Holy Spirit to help them understand. So the peace that Jesus promises us is lost for the lack of trying.

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Jesus says that those who love him will keep his word; and those who don’t love him won’t keep it. Those who keep his word will be filled with the Holy Spirit, who will teach us and guide us according to the will of the ...read more

    Jesus promises His followers His peace. Think about that for a moment and let it sink in to your heart. It’s powerful. In our most desperate times when our hearts are heavy, Jesus gives His peace and it surpasses all understanding.
