    Those who turn to the Lord are the fruit that will never spoil. Where do you find your nuterients today?

    There is a hit TV show call Survivor. It’s an interesting show to watch in that it attempts to demonstrate how humanity will act when it is under stress and when there is an ultimate prize on the line. Every week, there is a part in the show called “the immunity challenge.” In it, the contestants ...read more

    Some people think God’s grace should cause you to relax your morals. Instead, the Bible says we should increase our effort … we should turn up our intensity because of God’s grace.

    In just a few weeks the calendar will turn to 2020 – can you believe that? Can you believe we are about to see 2020? Our nation will elect or reelect a president next year. 2019 has been a big year for the stock market and for technology. Already the news channels are telling us about famous people ...read more

    Sermon # 12 - God's Grace And Man's Responsibility Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,059 views

    God’s grace and His justice are like two sides of the same coin. Both go hand in hand and if we underplay one or overplay the other, we will err and miss out on God’s eternal reward. The life of Lot and his family will help us understand this better.

    We read in Genesis 19:16, When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the LORD was merciful. (NLT) Most of us are familiar with the incident of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. ...read more

    Three examples of God's people praying in response to a plague

    Some Christians are asking why we’re experiencing this pandemic. Is coronavirus a judgement from God? Are we living in end times? Interesting questions! But I started yesterday on the subject of prayer and I want to continue with that theme a little longer. First and foremost, we as God’s ...read more

    Responding To The Good Work Of God Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Jul 5, 2011
     | 4,295 views

    What great things has God done and is doing for us and how are we responding to this Holy God?

    Last week, through the story of a Jewish Priest named Zechariah, we noted that In spite of what we think, nothing happens by chance in the hands of the Almighty God. Today in our passage we will note another truth which supports that God is Almighty: Nothing is impossible with God! Maybe you don’t ...read more

    Jesus tells us how to live on earth with the truth that God knows everything about us.

    Please open your Bibles to the Gospel of Luke chapter 12….. Last week we talked about Jesus’ warnings at the end of Luke 11. The beginning of Luke 12 continues with the warning but Jesus explains why we are to do the right things. Let us pray our commitment to God’s Word before ...read more

    The shepherds and the magi demonstrate the kind of worship that is pleasing to God.

    Beginnings are really important. Just think about how many great literary works are known by their opening words. Let’s see if you can identify a few of them: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” [A Tale of Two Cities] “All children, except one, ...read more

    Too Busy Not To Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 13, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,567 views

    When we think we are too busy to pray, we are succumbing to the issue of control: either we suppose we can manage everything or we want to abdicate. Prayer is the way to find priorities and strength.

    Let me throw some numbers at you. Imagine that you were in charge of an operation that involves, on the average, some ten thousand people a week, almost all of whom come together at one time. Of these ten thousand or so, not all will get there every time, but sometimes many more than that will show ...read more

     | 6,157 views

    Last week we presented thoughts on making the most of our opportunities, redeeming the time because it is our purpose to be imitators of God in these uncertain times. Perhaps the greatest obstacle in redeeming our time for God is found in the realm of mind control. Who controls your mind?

    The Solemn Responsibility Of God's Prophets (Ezekiel 3:17-21)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 8, 2024
     | 837 views

    God entrusted men such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel with the task of warning the people about the consequences of disobedience against God. It is the sacred duty of all believers to both share their faith as well as to warn others about the wrath to come.

    We have looked at the Lord Jesus Christ, the center of all Bible prophecy, and His mission of redemption. The bulk of prophecy focuses upon Him as well as the future of the nation of Israel. The Scriptures describe Israel's unstable relationship with GOD in a series of rebuttals and ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,373 views

    How do we respond to the good and evil that is done to us? There are many ways we can respond, but God’s word teaches us the right way, and it is the way Jesus exemplified for us.

    We read in Numbers 22:12, And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. (KJV) God told Balaam that he was not to accompany the men of Moab who had approached him, and he was not to curse the people of Israel because they were a people ...read more

    "The Knock"

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Dec 8, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,995 views

    The sermon portrays Joseph knocking on the door and the Inn Keeper said, "there is no room." Also let us consider our response as Jesus is knocking on our hearts door and who will get the door.

    “The Knock” Luke 2: 1-7 Dr. Bill Wilson was preaching a sermon explaining how the inn keeper just simply had no room for Jesus in the inn; as a result the Savior had to be born in meager circumstances in a manger for cattle. Explaining how God is calmly knocking on our ...read more
