    There are people today who just like to remain young or just like to be babies, and just do not want to grow up; they just like to eat, play and sleep and have nothing to worry about, but it is time to grow up.

    A look at Elijah and how his obedience wasn’t determined by his feelings.

    What type of person does God choose to confront politicians with His word? If you were to picture in your mind that type of person who would it be? Billy Graham? Perhaps he’s held audiences with every American President for forty years. Tony Campola? Maybe, he’s one of the three pastors who ...read more

    It is time for the Church to arise in the mist of the dark world of sin and shine for the glory of Christ.

    “GET UP AND GLOW” Intro: I believe that every church ought to have a vision and mission of what they feel that God would have them to do in reaching out to their area with the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

     | 8,784 views

    This is about David’s affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah.

    Have you ever heard someone say, “Oh, the Bible is so boring. It’s just a bunch of ‘begets’ and ‘begots’ and a bunch of stuff that happen thousands of years ago”? Our passage today certainly cannot be considered boring. We have a sex scandal at the highest levels of government. There are ...read more

    Laying Up Treasures

    Contributed by Paul George on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,390 views

    A preoccupation with hoarding earthly treasure makes little practical sense. Eternal investments, investments in the kingdom of heaven, are far more profitable. They are certain, and the benefits long lasting. Earthly investments are short-lived.

    Laying up Treasures Matthew 6:19-34 The Lord Jesus told the disciples, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,372 views

    There is no doubt that the early church needed a wake-up call. So Peter was chosen to get it, and to be the point man for the inclusion of the Gentiles into the church of Jesus Christ.

    Passage: Acts 10:9-23 Intro: It’s amazing how often in Scripture God’s entire plan hangs on one person. 1. Noah chosen to build the ark 2. Abraham called to believe. 3. Joseph tested and approved. 4. Jesus, the perfect sacrifice for sins 5. Now Peter, being challenged to turn from his ...read more

Before George can say his line, his girlfriend beats him to the line. "If it’s anybody, it’s me." I get this in our text. They don’t threaten Jesus with His life. ...read more

    Grow Up, Christian! 1) Cry more; 2) Rely more Mature children of God don’t run less to God, they run to God more...

    “Grow up!” Did anyone say that to you this week? If so, why? My parents often told me to grow up when I became frustrated and started crying about something I should have been able to do by myself like tie my shoes or zip up my jacket. Parents regularly tell their children to grow up because they ...read more

    When one is edified, he is letting the Word powerfully have its effect in a Spirit filled manner.

    Edification or "built up" in the Faith Pastor W. Max Alderman Text: Col.3: 16-21 Introduction: To be edified or "built up" in the faith requires that a man be filled with the spirit and obedient to the Word. In reality a person cannot be filled with the spirit who ...read more
