    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Nov 5, 2023
     | 8,237 views

    When you cast all our cares upon Him, He will mend your broken heart, He will lift the heavy burden, He will restore the joy, He will give rest and peace that passeth all understanding. He will give us strength and the armor of God to fight another day

    “When Life Becomes Overwhelming” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Life can be wonderful, full of excitement, joy, and happiness when things are going well.

    Heaven’s Praise To God’s Final Preparations Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 8, 2023
     | 1,015 views

    Seeing how God prepares for judgment is critical, and a vital lesson for us today. If we die without Jesus as our Savior, the judgment is the same: to be discarded from His presence and put into the same category as this world.

    Alpha and Omega, Part 43, Revelation Part 20 Heaven’s Praise to God’s Final Preparations Revelation 15:1-8 Introduction - Been studying Revelation together, to understand God’s plan for creation -- REM: Redemption of sin is granted through Jesus; and yes, we have a choice - Last time we ...read more

    Le there be peace on earth. But unlike the "hymn" this peace does not begin with us but the Lord Jesus Christ.

    I Give you MY Peace: A Sermon for the Second Sunday in Advent John 14:27 NKJV Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.

     | 1,218 views

    In the verses of Psalm 8:1-9 we find the psalmist marveling at God’s creation, and how we as one of God’s creations are honored by God. These verses also tell us of what place we hold in God’s heart.

    O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. When I consider Your heavens, the work of ...read more

    Having unclean lips goes beyond speech because of the origin of our speech is the content of our hearts.

    ALTERING OUR COURSE Text: Isaiah 6:1-8 Rev. Dan R. Dick has a sermon on this text. In his sermon he said that unclean lips he mentioned that “unclean lips” is an evocative phrase that covers a wide range of behaviors”. (David N. Mosser. ed. ...read more

    Like Jesus, we need to have a passion to reach the lost.

    Jesus’ Heart For The Lost Text: Lk. 19:41-44 Introduction 1. Illustration: Charles Spurgeon may have been the most evangelistic preachers to ever walk the earth. His heart hurt for lost people like no other preacher that I have read. Listen to what he said about hell: "If sinners be damned, ...read more

    Punishment for wrongdoing is essential, but according to Hosea, punishment is not to meet the demands of justice but rather to restore the ones who have done the wrong.

    Hosea Hosea's first three children had very unusual names. His family story was a metaphor for God's relationship with Israel. The Book of Hosea is addressed to the people of the northern kingdom — Israel. It contains both a warning concerning future events and the meaning of these ...read more

    Challenges American Churches Face

     | 3,299 views

    Christianity in America (and in Europe) is declining. This sermon share three challenges that caused the decline and how we respond to them.

    Thirty-four years ago, a church was born in Walnut Creek under the leadership of Pastor X. During those years, we faced many challenges, both internally and externally. But by the grace of God, we still exist today. That is why today, we want to thank God for His faithfulness. We say, "Thus ...read more

    Responses To Those Who Doubt Jesus's Resurrection

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,249 views

    Some people today still doubt whether Jesus really rose from His death. This sermon responds to some of their arguments biblically and logically.

    Today Christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of Christ Jesus. Three days after Jesus died, He rose again. This event never happened to anybody else. The Bible recorded some people who lived again after someone prayed for them, like the son of a widow in Zarephath (1 Kings 17), ...read more

    Resurrection Sunday (Luke, Part 13) Series

     | 1,421 views

    Either Jesus is who He said He is – or He is a liar … He cannot be both. We come to church today (of all days) to celebrate where our hope comes from; but we must see/admit our need for a Savior.

    Resurrection Sunday (Luke, Part 13) Luke 24:1-12 Introduction / Recap - Last week, we discussed the arrest, trial, crucifixion, and burial; saw three things: - First, a natural response (sadness, etc.) to Jesus’ suffering is not enough - Second, the cross is the most vivid illustration of John ...read more

    "Science bows before the resurrection". 1st blessing: Forgiveness; 2nd blessing: a resurrected body; 3rd blessing: Jesus gives all His disciple the Holy Spirit.

    In Jesus Holy Name April 24, 2022 Text: John 20:19-31 Easter II “Resurrection Blessings” The Rev. Ray Pritchard in one of his sermons wrote this phrase: “Science bows before the empty tomb.” I like that phrase. The gospel accounts were written 2000 years ago. We live in a day of ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Have Spiritually Blurred Vision?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 24, 2023
     | 4,681 views

    What does it mean in having blurred vision? Blurred vision is the deficiency of sharpness of visual perception, causing objects to show up cloudy or out of focus.

    The essential drivers of obscured vision are refractive issues – myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (imperfection in the curvature of the eye), or presbyopia (gradual loss of seeing close things clearly). Blurred vision can likewise be an indication of a more ...read more

    no matter our position in the church, we are all called to follow Jesus

    Matthew 4:12-23 Many stories within the Bible are known as ‘call stories.’ A call story tells how God invites someone to become something new and unexpected.
