    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 15, 2021
     | 7,494 views

    As we come to understand that it is all about God and not about us, we must understand that God is eternal, but life is short, and so we must live for God with an eternal perspective.

    Introduction: A. One day a man was speaking with God and he asked him, “God is it true that to you a thousand years is just a minute?” “That’s true,” God replied. 1. The man continued, “And is it true that to you a million dollars is like a penny?” “Yes, That’s true,” God said. 2. Then the man ...read more

     | 1,305 views

    In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

    Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more

    Evangelism is a proclamation! Paul wrote this letter to the Colossians wanting them to understand the importance of telling others about Christ.

    WE PROCLAIM HIM! Text: Colossians 1:28 – 29 Tonight I want to talk about “evangelism”. We all have our idea of what is meant by the word, “evangelism”. • Going door to door – canvassing. • Passing out Christian tracks. • Holding tent/camp meetings.

Patience gains all; nothing is lacking to those who have God: God alone is sufficient." It can be difficult to trust God in ...read more

    To understand and embrace the fleeting nature of our earthly life, to live in Christ and not in the world, and to prepare for our eternal rest in Jesus.

    Good morning, family. Today, we're going to visit a somewhat overlooked gem in the Psalms, Psalm 39:1-13. This passage beautifully illustrates the transient nature of our life on Earth and the eternal promise of rest in the arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

    "Be Prayerful” (A Communion Message) Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Nov 18, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,688 views

    Our prayer life is a indicator of our reliance upon God. God’s will for each of us is that we so rely on Him that prayer is a spontaneous activity throughout our daily life as individuals and throughout our weekly activities as a church family.

    Last time, we thought together about how it is God’s will for each of His children to be joyful. Now today, I want us to spend some time reflecting on the second thing that Paul says is God’s will for each of us - v. 17. There are two ways in which this needs to be applied: 1. It must be applied ...read more

    After Jesus' death Peter and the other disciples went back to their fishing boats. Jesus reminds them of what they were called to do. let us not go backwards but rely on God and his promises - he has a purpose for each of us!

    The Bible amazes me how you can read a passage over and over and then one time you stumble over a new way of looking at it. In my case I was reading a book called ‘Searching for God knows What’ by Donald Miller when he linked these two passages: Matthew 4 vs. 18-20, which says: As ...read more

    But if we choose to run to God and rely on His strength to help us, we can not only defeat our opposition, because God has been making us better, stronger and wiser through the process of life. Believers are built for this.
