    Satan knows that the time he has left is short and he is determined to destroy as many human lives as he can. But, we must not fear Satan; we must stand and face his attacks by relying on the power of God.

    "Self" is who we rely on in most storms, but "self" has no ability to help. It is "God" who must be depended on for He alone has the ability to help us in our valleys of despair. (Audio will be placed at www.sermonlist.com/2007.html)

    A man was in the hospital for tests, and the doctor came in to see him.

    You Are Not Enough

    Contributed by Brandon Queen on May 12, 2025
     | 395 views

    “Jesus Is Enough” is a heartfelt sermon reminding us that our strength fails, but God’s grace never does. In our weakness, Christ is our sufficiency. Through testimony and Scripture, we discover true freedom by relying fully on Him.

    ENGAGE: INVICTUS by William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

     | 10,210 views

    It’s not enough to rely on our saved status as Christians. We need to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in fleeing temptation, in battling temptation, in staying above reproach. We can learn from the mistakes of our ancestors, the ancient Israelites.

    1 Corinthians 10:1-13 Standing Strong Against Evil Last week we looked at how Jesus withstood temptation from Satan in the wilderness. Today we follow up with a related passage from the Apostle Paul, encouraging us to stand strong against evil. Someone once wrote, “Learning from your own ...read more

    The life line between Paul and God was the Spirit of God and his spirit. In this on-going sanctification process, Paul relied upon the Spirit of God to minister to his spirit, thus the comment in verse nine, whom I serve with my spirit.

    Series Title: Romans – The Line in the Sand Message Title: The Life Line 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; When I was just a youngster in the military, I had the occasion, because of my ...read more

     | 3,465 views

    We will explore how we are "diamonds in the rough". The biggest takeaway from today's message is that when we fully rely on God, He can turn our struggles from hurdles and obstacles into stepping stones.

    DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH 1 Timothy 4:10-12  For to this end we toil and struggle, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.  (11)  These are the things you must insist on and teach.  (12)  Let no one ...read more

     | 4,572 views

    If we are to understand how salvation can be applied to us, we must grasp the idea of IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS. Four concepts will help us to understand its nature.

    Without a proper understanding of Jesus as King we miss one of the most exciting elements of who Jesus is. It's an understanding that can change your life.

    “I Stand in Awe” Malachi 4:1-6; 2 Thess. 1:5-12 Sometimes it is difficult for us to identify with biblical and theological concepts. For example, since we are unfamiliar with the nature and functions of a king, it is hard to get excited about Jesus as King. Yet without a proper ...read more
