Finding Rest In God Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 29, 2005

We run around in our lives looking for peace and rest - but when we see the promise of rest that God promises in Jesus sometimes we hesitate to "seal the deal." Let Him give you rest for your soul!

"I’d love to rest - if I only wasn’t so busy." That’s a statement a lot of us could make. Our society is one of constant motion and activity - if we aren’t always doing something we feel useless and worthless. This can invade our spiritual lives as well. We feel like if we aren’t always "on" and ...read more

Jesus Plus Nothing Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 26, 2009

Christianity is all about a relationship with Jesus, and it is purely by grace. Its end is not salvation but fellowship with God.

If someone were to walk up to you and ask you out of the blue, “How can I be saved?” what would you say? • Would you know how to answer him? What is the one thing that you would tell him? • You need to know. Your answer will determine where he spends ...read more

The Impossible Dream

Contributed by Larry Turner on Feb 29, 2012

Are you an old man with just dreams or a young man with vision?

Let’s begin today by looking at Acts 2:17 ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams." As I look around this room I realize that I am qualified to be ...read more

Trotting In To Save The Day Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 4, 2012

What image comes to mind when you think about a hero riding in to save the day? Jesus, our ultimate action hero, rides into Jerusalem to save the day for humanity, but not in the way you would imagine, not this time anyway.

When you picture the hero coming in to save the day you probably think of a tall guy in a tall hat riding in on tall white horse with a couple of shotguns off of his saddle and two in his hands. Well, our ultimate action hero, Jesus, rides into Jerusalem all right—but on a tall white horse? ...read more

Open Your Heart To The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 27, 2012

It is more than education we need, we need the illumination of the Spirit. It is more than planning we need, but the leading of the Spirit. It is more than praying we need, but listening to the Holy Spirit.

Christianity is hopeless without the Holy Spirit. He is God’s agent on earth today. • Without Him, there is a disconnection with God; the line is cut off. We won’t fully understand God’s will. • The Holy Spirit reveals the will of God. He reminds us of the words of Jesus; he guides us into all ...read more

You Have The Authority, "So Why Aren't You Using It!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 11, 2011

God hears us loud and clear the first time when we call on Him, He is ready, willing and able to help us, the moment we do. The thing is though, we don’t have to pray pleading, desperate prayers all the time to get His attention.

You have the Authority “so use it” Exodus 14:15–16 NKJ 15. And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it... The issue with Christians today is ...read more

Introducing: God Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 23, 2009

The Beatitudes (it means "blessing") are probably the most famous words Jesus uttered. They are also among the most mis-understood. To understand the Beatitudes we need to know Jesus person and His mission.

The Sermon on the Mount is perhaps the most famous part of Jesus’ earthly ministry. I think it’s safe to say that more people are familiar with at least parts of this series of sermons than are the account of the cross. In Matthew’s gospel (which is ordered topically more than chronologically) ...read more

Honored By Mouth Far By Heart

Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Oct 19, 2015

To prove that JESUS knows the hearts and minds of unbelievers and does not need anyone to tell Him about it. Matthew 15:11 (Amplified Bible) It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean and defiled, but what comes out of the mouth;

I. EXORDIUM: Do you honor GOD with your lips? Yes. Constantly I offer GOD a sacrifice of praise using my lips in tongues and with my understanding. Hebrews 13:15 (Amplified Bible) Through Him, therefore, let us constantly and at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit ...read more
