    Contributed by Joel Pankow on Feb 12, 2025
     | 795 views

    How do we respond to the thorns that just won't go away? Paul gives a great example and encouragement in what to do.

    2.16.25 2 Corinthians 12:7b–10 (EHV) 7 I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me, so that I would not become arrogant. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that he would take it away from me. 9 And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, because ...read more

    In the midst of the resplendent majesty of God, how would you respond? If you stood face to face with the Lord of glory, what would you do?

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 4, 2025
     | 564 views

    Zaccheus demonstrated the humble heart of a child in seeking Jesus. Jesus responded by pursuing Zaccheus and seeing him come to repentant and saving faith.

    Over nearly 40 years as a pastor, one of the things I've learned is that when you sign up to be a pastor, you also sign up to be a point man in some very challenging situations. One of the challenging situations I've often been asked to take over has been when a beloved or in some cases, ...read more

    We ned to ’roll away the stone’ so Seekers can ’hear’ Jesus and respond. Then we need to ’unwrap them and let them go free’.

    “Take off the grave clothes and let him go!” Jn 11:38-44 WBC 4/1/4 Stunning passage. Stunning words: “Lazarus! Come forth!” Can remember reading it as a new Christian - 22 years on I’m still certain this happened, as written o even more so since my trip to Lagos - it’s gripping and tragic. ...read more

     | 7,313 views

    Learn more about the character and attributes of God. It is difficult to please God or respond to Him appropriately if we do not know what He is like.

    Sovereignty of God Why is the study of God’s sovereignty important? Accepting someone’s sovereignty is never easy. God says that He is sovereign and as a result He does things that is all right for a sovereign God to do. But we humans object. We tell God that even if He is sovereign, ...read more

    Jesus promised us persecution, though we have not experience a great deal in the US. But those days will change. How should we respond?

     | 3,065 views

    From the story of the Wise men that traveled afar, we today can learn key principles to how we should respond to the birth and life of Christ.

    Wise Men from Everywhere Matthew 2:11 Intro Wise men from the East, came to worship the Christ child. How far had they traveled? How had these men seen the star in the East? How did they know it was the Messiah’s star? It is impossible to answer these questions. From the East came the wise ...read more

     | 59 views

    God sees our hidden pain and responds to even the smallest act of faith, offering healing, peace, and wholeness to those who reach for Him.

    Some of us walked in today smiling on the outside and sore on the inside. You know that quiet ache that doesn’t announce itself but lingers like a shadow—fatigue that coffee can’t fix, fear that keeps whispering, “This is just how it will be,” and shame that makes you want to blend into the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,263 views

    If the resurrection is true, we need to do something about it! Respond to it. This is a fairly short talk encouraging first time commitments to Jesus

    If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead then most of what we do as a Church is a waste of time. If Jesus Christ was not raised then my job is almost entirely meaningless and I am wasting my life away; but if Jesus Christ was truly raised then we have the most important message for the world, for ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 86 views

    God moves powerfully when His people worship, fast, and pray together, listening for the Spirit’s direction and responding with obedient, unified action.

    Some of the greatest moves of God begin in the most ordinary rooms. A small circle of friends. A whispered hymn. A hunger that words can’t quite describe. Picture it: believers, shoulder to shoulder, hearts steady and still, waiting in worship. No spotlight, no stagecraft—just saints who want the ...read more

    It’s not what happens to you in life that determines your future;it is how you respond to what happens that determines your future.

    Accept change as good When you give your life to God there is a transition happening. From your ways of doing things to God’s way of doing things! From Chaos to transition to destiny!
