    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Mar 16, 2020
     | 3,317 views

    Giants by nature are not difficult to see. Their huge size and immense strength commands attention. There are some problems and troubles that stand as giants before us. They make us afraid and hopeless.

    As soon as the Israelite army saw him, they began to run away in fright. "Have you seen the giant?" the men asked, "He comes out each day to defy Israel.... (1Sam 17: 24-25a NLT). HAVE YOU SEEN THE GIANT? Goliath was a physical giant. He stood 9 feet tall and terrified the army of ...read more

     | 693 views

    God, as the ultimate authority, has the power to show mercy and harden hearts. He has chosen us, and we have the opportunity to choose Him back. His love and mercy are gifts that He freely gives to us.

    You know how in art class, the teacher gives you a lump of clay and you get to shape it into whatever you want? Well, that's kind of like what God does with us. We're like the clay, and He's the potter. He's the one in charge, shaping us into who He wants us to be. Think about it: God, the creator ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 10, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,107 views

    Everyone wants to be blessed, but the question is, 'What are the true blessings of God?' Let us understand what these blessings are and also get to know the purpose for God's blessings on us.

    We read in 1 Chronicles 4:10, “Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!" And God granted him what he requested.” (NASB) The ...read more

    Sermon: The Call To Reign In Life Through Jesus Christ

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 29, 2024
     | 1,345 views

    First, we are created in the image and likeness of God with unlimited potential and creativity and told to have dominion. Second, we can reign in life through Jesus Christ regardless of the environment in the world, country, or the state.

    Sermon: The Call to Reign in Life Through Jesus Christ Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28 “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness. Let them rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the domestic animals all over the earth, and all the animals that crawl on the earth. So God ...read more

    Plastic Faith

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 700 views

    Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

    An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

     | 1,609 views

    In the first message, I preached on having a Happy Church. We saw that the first thing we have to do is recognize the purpose of the church.

    WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH? Many folks have many different ideas about what the purpose of the church is. For example: (1) Some seem to think the purpose of the church is for us to come together and see if we can build a more beautiful church building than the church down the ...read more

     | 193 views

    There is a blessing that comes out of our frustration when we give ourselves to something bigger than us.

    Psalm 31:14-15 TPT I’m desperate, Lord! I throw myself upon You, for You alone are my God! My life, my every moment, my destiny—it’s all in Your hands. So I know You can deliver me from those who persecute me relentlessly. I think that I'm speaking to people today who, at some point, find ...read more

     | 2,462 views

    Bob Dylan famously wrote, "But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody." As disciples of Jesus, we must choose daily who gets to be king in our life. Which king do you follow?

    * Squeeze to the last drop: The manager at the local pub had what he considered to be the world’s strongest man working as his bouncer.

    Ten Commandments: No False Images Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jan 8, 2019
     | 5,339 views

    False (mostly mental) images of God distort him, and harm us. Recognize how false images might come to us, and replace them with a true image of God from the Bible, especially Christ.

    NO FALSE IMAGES—Exodus 20:4-6, 32:1-6 (I began with a children’s sermon: “Can you draw God? Why not? God is more than we can describe!”) Read Exodus 20:1-6. (Note to preacher: NIV 1984 has the unfortunate translation “idol” not “image,” which sounds more like a different god. NIV 2011 more ...read more

    Are we amazed with the authority of the words of Christ Jesus?

    What Is This? Mark 1: 21 - 28 Intro: Out of necessity, I live in a world of words. Every week, I am expected to produce a string of words from other words that I have read in the Bible and other resources. I wonder sometimes, do you really hear the words?
