     | 45,383 views

    As Habakkuk accepts God’s righteous judgment he finds the incredible grace gift of faith that causes him to rejoice & rise to new places of faith & strength. In accepting the fearful, challenging Word of God, he found grace to soar above circumstances

    HABAKKUK 3:18-19 A FAITH THAT LEAPS / The Leaping of Faith [Lamentations 3:20-26] Habakkuk has placed his faith in his God of Grace and Glory not only for the survival of his nation but for his personal existence and well being also.

    But to the one who does not work but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly (Rom 4:5), He says that you can rejoice that your name is recorded in heaven, and by faith you have chosen the good part that can never be taken away.

    (Part 2 of 2 in a study of the Parable of the Good Samaritan) “And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?” 27 And he answered, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD ...read more

    Halloween Alert! Are You Alive? Stay Awake!

    The ONLY REASON why we should be HAPPY is that, SOMEONE was RAISED from the DEAD! Yes! This person is ALIVE! This is the very reason why we CELEBRATE and REJOICE! Jesus CHRIST, after His RESURRECTION, He ASCENDED to Heaven and is NOW SEATED at the RI

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN? Duh! What’s HAPPY in the day of the DEAD? What’s HAPPY in the SCARY masks and customs? Anyway, HALLOWEEN? I googled the word and it means, "All HALLOWS’ Eve" or "All SAINTS Eve"! In the wikipedia, HALLOW means to “to set apart as HOLY” or “to respect or HONOR greatly”. Now, are we ...read more

    Summer Of Sin #2 Envy Series

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 20, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,651 views

    Envy is a condition so poisonous that we’re not able to rejoice in the moment and enjoy what we have, but instead, find fault with it and say, “This isn’t good enough.” The root of it is that we don't trust God is caring for us.

    Summer of Sin #2. ENVY Num. 11:4-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Ryan Carlson, 16-year-old, was out with friends one night at 8 p.m. when suddenly he realized it was Father's Day and he had neglected to buy a card for dad. 2.

    Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 22, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 408 views

    Self-righteous Jonah rejoiced over a plant that gave him shade, but had not compassion on the people of Nineveh who genuinely repented of their sins. There’s no room for self-righteousness, as all of us are sinners saved by God's grace alone.

    We read in Jonah 4:6, “Then the LORD God made a plant grow up over Jonah to give him some shade, so that he would be more comfortable. Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant.” (GNB) As we studied the life of Jonah there are numerous lessons that we have picked up, both for our personal lives, ...read more

    Persecution And Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 17, 2025
     | 362 views

    Persecution is not a sign of defeat but a confirmation that we are on the right path. When we face opposition in evangelism, we must not be discouraged but rejoice, knowing that we are partaking in Christ’s sufferings. The gospel is unstoppable, and no amount of persecution can hinder God’s plan.

    PERSECUTION AND EVANGELISM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 5:11-12 "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted ...read more

    It Is Finished

    Because of what Christ did on the Cross, there are three things that are finished for humanity. Because of what He did, the price He paid and the fact that we celebrate His resurrection today, we can rejoice in the fact that these things are completed for you and I today.

    It Is Finished Grace Baptist Easter Service 2023 Pastor Brad Stone A man, his wife, and his cranky mother-in-law went on vacation to the Holy Land.

    From Although To Yet

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 21, 2025
     | 302 views

    Based on the prophet Habakkuk's journey from honest complaint to unshakable praise, this sermon explores how faith can find joy not by denying suffering, but by making a radical choice to rejoice in God even when everything has fallen apart.

    From Barren Fields to High Places: The Unshakable Joy of Faith Text: Habakkuk 3:17-19 Introduction: A Prophet's Honest Struggle I want to invite you into the world of a man who was not afraid to argue with God. His name is Habakkuk. We often come to the prophets and see them as untouchable ...read more

    A Martyr For A Cause – Charlie Kirk Assassinated Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 690 views

    Tragically in September 2025 a young Christian leader was assassinated in the USA. This message looks into that and uses quotes from Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erica. It is so sick that certain elements of demonic belief are rejoicing that a Christian man was murdered. This world gets worse.

    A MARTYR FOR A CAUSE – CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATED I know much has been written about the tragic death of Charles Kirk and I do not want this to be a copycat message. Almost overwhelmingly, there have been expressions of grief and condolences but reprehensively, there have been those who delight in ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 4 – Judah Is Rejected And Trodden Down – My Great Pain – Chapter 1:11-15 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 26, 2025
     | 209 views

    This section begins the lament – the utterance of sadness and failure. There are 9 verses of lament here and this Part deals with 2 of them. Was the LORD responsible for Judah’s suffering? It is a sad thing but sinfulness always brings misery and suffering upon the participants.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 4 – JUDAH IS REJECTED AND TRODDEN DOWN – MY GREAT PAIN – CHAPTER 1:11-15 Our study in this remarkable book continues as we try to understand the grief of the defeated people and of Jeremiah himself who was overcome by sorrow for is nation.

    King David Shows Grace To His Enemies Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 3, 2023
     | 1,164 views

    King David has been I'm sure on a rollercoaster of different emotions, fear, worry, excitement, victory, and so on. But now, it turns to sorrow. So while David’s troops are celebrating, David is devastated. Joab the leader of David’s troops finds out about this and is not happy.

    Mourning and celebrating, have you ever felt happy, but sad at the same time? Has a moment of excitement or joy suddenly become sad for you? Or perhaps a moment of sorrow turned into a moment of joy? The rebellion of Absalom has been defeated. King David’s troops fought bravely in the battle in ...read more

    The Secret To Inner Peace Series

    The world thinks that if they could just change their circumstances, they could avoid stress and worry... and could have the peace they crave. But Jesus said that won't work. In this world we are guaranteed to have trouble. But Jesus promises us a peace that the world cannot give.

    This is the last in our sermon series - entitled “One Thing”. We’ve been focusing on ONE WORD in Scripture that sums up a basic Bible truth, and today’s word is PEACE. Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be ...read more

    Luke 15 contains three parables about lost items. In each story, extreme measures are taken to seek the lost; when each is found, there is great rejoicing. These stories are pictures of how God seeks us and the joy heaven experiences when we are found.

    What Makes Heaven Happy? Luke 15:1-10 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION What are the greatest chapters in the Bible? If I compiled a top five list, I think Psalm 23 would be near the top, along with Romans 8, and the third chapter of John. I would also add Luke 15 to the short list of the greatest ...read more
