    Aligning My Will With God’s Series

    The amazing story of Jonah reminds us: 1) Don't run from God, 2) When life gets you down, look up, 3) Respond to God's second chance, and 4) Get God's heart for people. Like Jonah, we need to give up the "reluctant prophet" role and stay in God's will.

    Jonah 3:1-10 Aligning My Will with God’s Prophets with a Purpose – Week 2 Do you ever feel like some people are beyond hope, that they are incapable of change? Or maybe you’ve felt like God wanted you to do something, but you resisted that urge? If so, you can identify with the prophet Jonah. ...read more

    "GET YOUR CLOTHES ON!" TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:22-24; COL 3:12-17 INTRODUCTION Many years ago there was an emperor who was so fond of new clothes that he spent all of his money on them.

    Now that we know a little bit of what heaven will look like, what will we do there? What is it going to be like to live in heaven? Are we going to be sitting on a cloud strumming a harp? Is heaven going to be one very long church service? In our text toda

    Purpose: To describe some of the glories that awaits believers. Aim: I want the listener to so focus on spiritual rewards that worldly pleasures will lose their appeal.

     | 5,858 views

    In our Sermon today we’ll be looking at how great and wonderful God’s grace is towards us, as we examine it through the acrostic “GRACE.” We'll see just how great God's grace really is, and what it means for our salvation.

    God’s Great Grace Today we’re going to continue to look at the basics of our faith, as we’ve been looking at the foundational teachings of the Bible and of the church. So far, we’ve looked at the fall and rise of humanity, the highlights of heaven and hell, communion, the Trinity, and last week, ...read more

    This sermon wraps up the book of Ruth, first examining Boaz's role as a kinsman-redeemer & Christ's role as ours, & the results of those actions, both in history (David was Ruth & Boaz's great-grandparents) and the larger story of redemption through Christ.

    Sermon 8: God Works in Mysterious Ways Series: Ruth Chuck Sligh August 4, 2019 TEXT: Please turn in your Bibles to Ruth 4.

    Our first impression on hearing this title are the wise men of the Christmas story. But in our story, Jesus is answering three men in a manner we’re not accustomed to. From Jesus’s responses, we find some valuable information about God’s kingdom. Come join us on this unusual journey.

    Being the Apple of God's Eye means that we are never forgotten or overlooked, His gaze is always upon us, guiding, protecting, and providing for us even when we fail to recognize it.

    What is the best way to start to understand anything? When I read a book I start on Chapter One. There are a lot of people in the world that cannot understand the things of God because they never spent time trying to read God’s Holy book, The Bible.

    Genesis 1 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw ...read more

    Quality worship experience is dependent upon biblical principles. This message examines some of those principles as stated in Psalm 65.

    We take as our text today, Psalm 65. In the Bible God has given us a healthy spiritual balance of truth. Some portions of Scripture warn and correct. In Psalm 19:7-11 David celebrated this. He wrote, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ...read more

    Rather than painting a picture of an angry, brooding God, the Christmas story reminds us that God actually likes us and wants what is best for us.

    Living in God’s Favor Luke 2:7-14 7 and she [Mary] gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An ...read more

    Paul always looked for the hidden blessing in every trial. Have you been complaining about your situation? Grumbling short-circuits faith, but joy revives it.

    Are you trapped in a prison of despair, doubt or anxiety? Learn to release the power of praise. The apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians is one of the Bible’s most unique books. Some scholars call it "the epistle of joy" because the word "joy" or "rejoice" appear in it 16 times. Yet what is ...read more
