    Faith’s Essential Content Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 3, 2024
     | 1,261 views

    Romans 4:23-25 provides a concise statement of the Christian faith: Lordship of Christ, his sacrificial death on the cross, and his resurrection. Salvation depends on believing these essentials. Religions that proclaim Jesus as a good teacher or prophet but deny these tenets are false religions.

    Intro We have been examining Abrham’s faith as a model for the kind of faith God is looking for in you and me. Abraham’s faith was a saving faith. After describing his faith, Paul says in Romans 4:22: “And therefore ‘it was accounted to him for righteousness.’” Paul has grounded his teaching on the ...read more

    Let God See The Plumbing

    When it comes down to it, do you let God in on the inside of you - or do you hold Him at arms length? Take a lesson from the religious establishment of Jesus’ day - let God into the ugly inner parts of your life, and let the Great Plumber heal you.

    A few years back I did a remodeling project at my house - the carpenter did much of the work but I cut costs by doing the plumbing myself. After putting in a bathroom over our garage the area was covered up by sheetrock. One day as I was walking to my car I felt a drop of water hit my eye. I ...read more

    What Is Repentance Series

    When I say “repentance” what comes to mind? The word has become one used primarily in religious conversations. Dinner time talks don’t usually center around the concept of repentance. Yet is a key to our eternal destiny and our every day walk with God.

    Man's reasoning and God's don't match up very well. Sinners, even very religious sinners, easily find fault with God, in how He deals with sin and righteousness. Our only hope for "making sense of it all" is to BELIEVE and accept EVERYTHING He says, rathe

    When it comes to religious instruction and example we can see that Jacob gave his grandson’s four important things to remember him by and to help point his grandchildren to the true and living God. You and I can do the same thing today for our Grandchild

    YHWH declared his name to Moses as I am that I am. He is a God one who always lives forever and Ever. No one on the earth can claim like Him. No Politicians, No religious leaders, No wise men and woman, no beauties can ever claim that they liver for ever.

    Using God

     | 3,500 views

    Today’s message is taken from the life of King Jeroboam. Jeroboam deliberately modified and changed God’s commandments to suit his purposes. Jeroboam didn’t cease being religious nor believing in God; rather he was using God to suit his own purposes.

    Using God 1 Kings 14:1-6 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBOsnQH5bDE This story on the life of King Jeroboam is one that no one should ignore. In fact, it’s impossible to understand the history of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel without knowing it, and that’s because every king ...read more

    Many people have claimed that Jesus never claimed to be God. Those people are dead wrong. Jesus actually claimed to be God and He did so repeatedly. In fact that is why the Jewish religious leaders were so angry with Jesus. He wouldn’t stop doing it.

    Jesus the Great I Am Exodus 3:14 John 18:1-8 Philippians 2:6-11 Revelation 1:8 Today I want to show you how you can prove that Jesus claimed to be God by using His own words from the Gospel of John.

    The Original Disciples Series

    Contributed by Dennis King on May 26, 2021
     | 3,680 views

    Jesus Christ picked a diverse group of original disciples to accomplish His divine purpose. Were they the crème de la crème of the Jewish religious leaders? Did they have special talents? Did they buy their way into the powerful, influential circle of this new Messiah?

    Disciples of Jesus According to Matthew Chapter 4, Jesus after leaving Nazareth went to Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah about the land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, ...read more

    When The Veil Is Lifted

     | 400 views

    Moses was overwhelmed by the immorality and religious practices from Egypt brought from Egypt. He had met God who gave him the Ten Commandments to implement within the new culture. He had a Shekinah Glory experience--God on earth. The Light of God radiated in his face.

    This past Sunday our pastor was recovering from the flu. When I asked him how he was doing, he said he was about 70% recovered. He then shared this with the church. As he began to preach there appeared to be a sincere heartfelt message flowing from deep within. A middle-aged man always makes a ...read more

     | 173 views

    Second Samuel chapter 4 is a sobering warning to anyone tempted to “help God along.” It shows us what happens when fear replaces faith, when ambition overrides conscience, and when people wrap sinful actions in religious language and expect God’s blessing in return.

    Unanswered Prayer

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 7, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,136 views

    What do we do when we have prayed and prayed for something with seemingly no results? Do we just keep repeating the prayer? Or is there a better way? In this message, we examine Jesus's teaching about prayer to discover answers to those questions.

    Intro Unanswered prayer is an issue we all face at one time or another. What do we do when we have prayed and prayed about something, and seemingly there are no results? I have a couple of situations like that going on in my life right now. Some of you may be dealing with the same thing in your ...read more

    Jesus contrasts the phony goodness of the religious leaders with the true devotion of the poor widow. With this great story He gives three great principles about giving; (1) God cares about our giving, (2) God cares about how we give and (3) God cares how

    We’ve been looking at the concept of “hearing God” and how that happens. We started with a “no brainer” that said we had to take the time to listen to God as we prayed.

    Jesus Defends His Divinity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 27, 2022
     | 1,626 views

    Shortly after Jesus healed the crippled man at the pool of Bethsaida (John 5:1-15), He was confronted by the religious officials who wanted Him dead for saying that God was His Father, making Himself equal withe God. Jesus responded with facts to back up His claim.

    If there was an apt description of the attitude of the Pharisees towards the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:18), it is this, "There are none so blind as those who will not see". All throughout this account of the Lord's life and work and in the other Gospels as ...read more
