    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,268 views

    Today, I encourage you take God at His word. Place your trust in Him alone to sustain your needs. Learn to be free from worry as you place your trust in God.

    “The Worry Cure” Mathew 6:25-34 Introduction One day I had taken my son Sebastian to a park to play. At one point while we were at the park I was repeatedly throwing him in the air and catching him just before he hit the ground. Sebastian was completely relaxed and having a great time, laughing ...read more

    A Call To Quietnes

    Contributed by Lew Slade on Feb 15, 2007

    Being quiet before God is as important as being busy for him.

    The Call to Quietness I have to say that I am very glad that our gospel reading today skips over the horrific story of the beheading of John the Baptist, and rather moves on chronologically from last week. We read then how Jesus sent out the twelve disciples in ministry for the first time. Today ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,282 views

    I this message I deal with the fact that God accepts us exactly where we are and uses whatever we have for his glory. This is a profound teaching by Jesus. The kingdom comes in small, almost unnoticed ways. But it never ends there.

    “Little is Much with God” Matthew 13:31-35 From the OT all the way through to the book of Revelation we find story after story of God’s plan for us. There are stories of battle, there are love stories and there are stories children love. When Jesus came on the scene He came as a teacher. 73 ...read more

    Automatic Door Openers

    For deacon ordination: God has provided the wide door through which all may come, but also the narrow gate that calls for discipline and setting boundaries.

    We seem to be fast coming to the place where we will scarcely have to deal with people at all. We can just deal with computer-driven machines to get what we want. I frankly cannot remember when I have dealt with a bank teller. I just roll up to an Automatic Teller Machine, punch in a few numbers, ...read more

    When your faith is put on the spot it’s never too late to try again your faith.

    It’s Never Too Late To Try Again Text: James 2:17-26 Vs. 17, Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. (So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead). Vs. 18, Yea, a man may say, ...read more

    Jesus, the one who taught us love and forgiveness, tells us that we need to hate our parents! ...

    Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be ...read more

    God "comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable" and frequently they are one and the same people.

    1. Which of these two words do you most readily and easily associate with God? • Encourage • Discomfort (At the time of delivery 98% raised their hands for "Encourage" and 2% for "Discomfort".) 2. Well, I would like to suggest to you that as you study the scriptures, both of those words can be ...read more

    There are some steps that led to Abraham's success in his sacrifice.

    This message from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    We are overloaded!!! Americans are living their lives at a break-neck pace, pushing the limits to live up to the expectations put on them by society. When compared to lives fifty years ago we see that there is something conspicuously missing. Our lives have very little time and space; if any. ...read more

    I ask the question, how well do we know our commander in chief, Jesus? Do we allow him to help in the many battles we face throughout our lives. How prepared are we to follow his example of servant-hood.

    Servanthood: John 13 v1-16 At the American Revolution a man in civilian clothes rode past a group of soldiers repairing a small defensive barrier, their leader was shouting instructions, but making no attempt to help them. Asked why by the rider, he retorted with great dignity, "Sir, I am a ...read more
