     | 12,694 views

    Kids love to brag on their dads, and tell tales of what their dads are able to do. This sermon brags on God and what He is able to do.

    Guilt by association will not get it done for you! Only complete association with heart knowledge of God's grace will see you through to the peace that passes all understanding.

    Guilt by association… John 14:27 NKJ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. When you rely on the grace that God gives, the grace Jesus is talking about here. When it becomes ...read more

    God’s desired will — with omissions and out of sequence — is no longer God’s will. The cross could not be bypassed. Jesus had to wear the crown of thorns before He could wear the crown of the Kingdom.

    Behold The King: The Cross Before the Crown (Various Portions of the Gospels) 1. One blogger writes, “Today, I was waiting at the bus stop and noticed a girl that I played netball with. I ran across the road to meet her and she ran across the car park to meet me. We hugged and looked at each other ...read more

    These three areas are so basic to our lives and determine our destiny. God's word shows us how important these are on just about every page of scripture.

    Let's say the 23rd Psalm together. (The Lord is my Shepherd...) I heard about a preacher who asked if any of the children could come up and say the 23rd Psalm. A little five year old bounced out of the pew and came to the podium and said: "The Lord is my Shepherd and that's all I want!" As I ...read more

    Some people say, “If I don’t look out for me, for my best interest, for what’s best for me, then who will?”

    Matthew 20:20-28-Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. 21-And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the ...read more

    David was an experienced military leader. He knew that he had to keep his guard up on the battle field, but was ambushed at home in his palace because he didn’t realize an enemy of a different kind was lying in wait for him. He never saw it coming, bu

    Contending With Evil Series

     | 3,495 views

    Just because we are chosen by God, baptized into Christ, does not mean that we are infallibly going to attain God’s promises. We are always tempted, as Christ was, to follow the allurements of the world, flesh and devil.

    Saint Anthony of the Desert 2019 Saint Anthony–the less famous one we call “Anthony of the Desert”–died 1653 years ago today.

    We Are More Than Conquers……!

     | 5,223 views

    As the children of Israel were about to enter the promise land, the Lord appeared unto Joshua and said; “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous….” (Joshua 1:5-7).

    In Romans 8:37, Paul coined a new terminology, saying “More than Conquers”, if you studied the 35th verse of Romans 8, you will understand why he expressed his communication with that terminology. It says, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or ...read more

    We are always trying to blame our sin on something else - on someone else, on society, on circumstances. But Jesus says that what makes us sin is part of ourselves.

    I stopped watching TV news three or four years ago. But you have to know what's going on, somehow, so there are a few sources I've come to trust. But guess what? They're just as depressing as TV news. Because what is actually happening is worse than what you might imagine if you stayed ...read more

    Why did Adam and Eve fall? Was it because they both took a bite of the forbidden fruit? Of course they did. All it took was a bite for them to lose their mostly unrestricted place in the Garden of Eden. The fruit of tree of the knowledge of good and evil was the restricted part of the garden.
