    It is okay to be discouraged when working for the Lord. It is not okay to be defeated. How can we as servants of the Lord maintain our enthusiasm and continue with our efforts when we work for the Lord.

    What’s the Point? 1 Corinthian 15:58 Do you ever get discouraged? Do you ever get to the stage that you cry out to no one in particular, but to everyone, and say “What’s the point!” Have you reached that moment in time where you just wonder “Why bother?” I ...read more

    Spiritual warfare is confined to within us. Satan is defeated and powerless unless we chose to give him his power back. This sermon looks at 5 ways we can do that.

    Let me begin today with a reminder of what Sun Tzu wrote in his book “The Art of War.” “It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; ...read more

     | 5,007 views

    The resurrection is the foundation on which the gospel is built and as long as we have this foundation, we are free from fear and have reason to hope. Found here in chapter fifteen are the reasons why I have taken my stand on the gospel of Christ.

    THE GOSPEL ON WHICH I STAND © 2001 Mark Beaird Text: I Corinthians 15: 1-24 The Apostle Paul begins chapter 15 by addressing a group of Christians who had been hearing others teach that there was no resurrection of the dead.

    Why The Gospel Is Greater Than Miracles

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 22, 2025
     | 339 views

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is amazing for a number of reasons. One reason that we will look at today is that Jesus makes a clear statement that what will bring people to Christ is not great miracles, but simply God's Word shared with them.

    Why the Gospel is Greater than Miracles Good Morning. Our lesson this morning, Jesus’ Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, comes in response to the Pharisees having come once again to argue with Jesus. That’s a big point to the parable, the whole idea that we so much want to try to justify ...read more

    Originally delivered on July 4, Independence Day, it’s about how Jesus has set us free from the dominion of sin, by defeating satan for us.

    This is your Independence Day! "For sin shall not have DOMINION over you, for you are not under law but under grace."

    The Children of Israel begin the period of the Judges well, but begin to neglect their relationship with God and this leads to defeat, much as the Christian who does not nurture that relationship with exist in the weakened flesh.

    When I was in junior high a Catholic priest came to visit my debate class. I know, today a visit to a public school by a religious official would warrant calling out the SWAT team and raising the terror alert to red, but it was a different nation in those days.

    Truth be told, the Bible says that the race is not given to the swift, or the battle to the strong, but to the one who endures. So it is necessary to shake of that defeated attitude and fight this fight to the very end.

    The series is not over. Jude 1: 17 – 23 17 But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told you, 18 that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to enjoy themselves in every evil way imaginable. 19 Now they are here, and they are the ...read more
