    Even though Moses was not allowed to go into the Promised Land he spent the closing weeks of his life preparing the new generation to enter Canaan and claim the land God promised to give them.

    THE FACE OF GOD TOWARDS YOU DETERMINES YOUR BRIGHTNESS AND JOY

    WHEN GOD HIDES HIS FACE MAIN TEXT: JOB 34:29 “When He giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hideth His face, who then can behold Him? Whether it be done against a nation or against a man only”. PROVERBS 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any ...read more

    The Precedence Of Prayer-1

    1 of 3. Paul exhorted Timothy regarding the place of prayer in the Church. Prayer must take precedence in the Church. When is it obvious that it holds priority? Prayer takes precedence when...

    The PRECEDENCE Of PRAYER—1Timothy 2:1-7 Attention: Janet’s four-year-old likes to say the blessing at mealtimes, usually repeating the same short prayer: "Thank you, God, for this gracious food. Amen." One evening, however, he thanked the Lord for the birds, the trees, each of his friends, & asked ...read more

    Walk In Humility

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021
     | 3,213 views

    God wants us to cast aside all human pride, and to humbly trust that we need nothing except in him and in our Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Humility is of great importance in our Christian lives. Think of the well-known “summary of the law” in Micah, “He has showed you, O man, what is good and what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (6:8). Humility is so vital, yet there’s ...read more

    Unshared Unrivaled Unequaled

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025
     | 94 views

    Christ alone is the unshared, unrivaled, unequal Rock; surrender means stepping off the throne of self and letting Him reign today.

    There’s a certain comfort, isn’t there, in imagining that somewhere out there is a man who carries the weight of spiritual certainty on his shoulders. He sits robed, enthroned, vested in centuries of tradition and expectation. His words ripple across continents. His gestures become symbols. His ...read more

    Trusting God with our money reveals our true priorities; faithful stewardship transforms wealth into eternal impact and frees us from serving money as a master.

    Friends, welcome. Pull up a chair. In a world where prices climb and schedules squeeze, our hearts can feel thin. We carry questions into church tucked beneath our smiles. Will the paycheck stretch? Will the college fund be enough? Will retirement come with peace or pressure? Money talks, doesn’t ...read more

    Wisdom From The Lord PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 13, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 81 views

    Trusting in God, not ourselves or others, anchors our hearts and brings lasting strength, hope, and fruitfulness even in life’s hardest seasons.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that covers a storm. Bills stack up like bricks. Family tensions tug at your heart like a riptide. News cycles churn, and your soul feels thin. You’re doing your best, yet your best feels brittle. Have you ever wondered, “Where do I place my weight when the ...read more

    Abiding Peace PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 15, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 116 views

    The sermon teaches that true peace comes from intentionally focusing our thoughts on what is good and true, rather than letting anxious thoughts control us.

    Some weeks feel like the noise won’t quit. Screens glow. Headlines glare. Opinions shout. The heart pulls the covers over its head and hopes the storm will pass, yet the mind keeps humming—what if, what if, what if? Maybe that’s you today. You came to church with a smile that says "I’m fine," but ...read more

    Grace Alone 102925 PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 110 views

    God’s grace meets us in our sin and need, offering true freedom and acceptance through faith in Jesus, not our own efforts.

    Some of us arrived today feeling like life has been a long hallway of closed doors. You knocked on the door of good intentions and it stayed shut. You jiggled the handle of self-improvement and it wouldn’t budge. You leaned your ear to the keyhole of religious busyness and heard only your own ...read more

    A Life Of Worship PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 19, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 106 views

    Worship is offering our whole, everyday lives to God, allowing His mercy to transform us so we bear fruit and reflect Christ in all we do.

    Friends, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of you showed up with a smile, others with a sigh, and the Lord receives you just the same. He gathers us like a good Father gathers children at the table—hungry, hurried, hopeful. Grace has a way of finding us in the in-between: between loads of ...read more

     | 81 views

    God sees and values our hearts over outward appearances, choosing and loving the overlooked and ordinary to accomplish extraordinary purposes through His grace.

    Maybe you walked in today carrying the sting of being overlooked. You’ve watched others get the nod, the promotion, the platform, while you’ve kept the sheep, cleaned the messes, showed up in quiet faithfulness where no one was clapping. If that’s you, take heart. Our God loves to surprise us. He ...read more

    The Twelve Men Who Shaped The World , Part 3 - The Apostle Andrew Series

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jul 8, 2006
    based on 17 ratings
     | 18,068 views

    Jesus drew from the same raw materials that He draws from today when He calls men and women to be His disciples. In this series, we are looking at each of the Twelve as in-depth as we can, based upon what we can know and discern from the Scripture.

    Once again we turn to the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. We focused on the Apostle Peter last time, and we learned quite a bit about how Jesus can use the raw material of a person who is willing to be used. What do you remember about the way the disciples are grouped and paired in the ...read more
