    Alright, Already!

    based on 10 ratings

    Jesus asks, "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" The parable of the widow and the unjust judge shows the kind of persistent faith that Christ would hope to find in each of us.

    We have a tendency to think that parables teach one lesson and one lesson only. The parable of the Good Samaritan is about helping your neighbor in need. The parable of the Rich Ruler is about the total sacrifice required to follow Jesus. And we could certainly say that this parable of the widow ...read more

    The Purpose of this sermon is to affirm to others that although some Soldiers/Officers are willing to pass-up their right to salvation; there are some that are willing to take their shoes off for the Lord.

    God’s choice is not unfair because He owes nothing to sinful man. (God still gives insight, concepts and ideas to mankind) God is free from obligation or constraint in bestowing mercy on people. God loves every person on the face of the earth, and He’s wa

    Control Belongs to God Text: Romans 9:14-33 14 Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not! 15 For God said to Moses, “I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.”16 So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it ...read more

    Chances are most regular church attendees can rattle off the gist of John 3: 16…often called “the gospel in a nutshell.” There’s truth in that statement, but it may leave some with the assumption the rest of the Bible is just Commentary!

    Am I safe this morning to assume that even if you haven’t read it, or subscribe to it… you know what I’m talking about when I mention the New York Times? Of course, it is a well know newspaper and it’s been around for years. How many you have heard it referred to as “the gray lady.” It picked up ...read more

    Here true wisdom is the revealing of the mind of God. Wisdom is shouting out to humanity and humanity seems to pay her no mind. But the real question is are you hearing and responding to wisdom's call?

    PROVERBS 1:20-23 WISDOM'S SHOUTS Wisdom is depicted as a beautiful and noble queen standing in the crowded plaza of humanity. There she lifts up her lovely and authoritative voice to those passing by. The personification here of wisdom was meant to give some kind of tangibleness to what ...read more

    The enemy has affected some of us through this battle of the mind with small thinking and inferior self esteem even convincing us that we just don’t measure up to doing anything significant for Jesus Christ.

    My promise to you regarding this series, if you are shallow and sour in your relationship with Christ and crusty and cranky in your walk with Christ – all that will vanish when you live in the 3 dimensions of abundance!

    Remember last week - the funky glasses or the special measurements were needed so you could experience a certain depth and a certain beauty set before your eyes. As Christians, when we live in the 3 dimensions, it’s how we experience the most out of our walking with God. Ephesians 2:10 “For we ...read more
