    The Devil's Tools

    Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on May 2, 2019
     | 7,844 views

    It is so important to any believer that we not let the Devil’s tools eat away at us and cause us to go in a direction, down a path, that is far from God.

    All too often today I see where people have lost their faith. They either don’t believe at all, have never heard nor understood the word of God or something has happened in their lives to take them away His Word. As we have talked about many times here at our Church, we know what this and, deep ...read more

    The Beauty In The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 4, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,433 views

    Paul's life was shaped by the Gospel. Even in the face of an uncertain future and difficulty, he embraced change in life through the power of the Gospel. That is the beauty in the Gospel.

    The Beauty in the Gospel Acts 20: 24-27 Our text today finds the apostle Paul on his way to Jerusalem. He is well aware of the animosity of the Jews toward him, and quite uncertain what his future will hold once he arrives. One would expect him to be very nervous and apprehensive about returning, ...read more

    Lesson: Iv.a.4: Third Bowl: Rivers And Springs Turn To Blood (Series) Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 7, 2018
     | 4,088 views

    The rivers and springs of water “became blood” as the contents of the bowl are poured out on the rivers and springs of waters. It is not only the great sea which becomes blood, but all the sizes and types of streams and babbling brooks which carry. . . .

    The Branch Of Motherhood (Mother's Day 2022 Version)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 4, 2022
     | 2,397 views

    How can we relate Mother’s Day to today’s text, John 15:1 – 8? We can relate Motherhood to today’s text by thinking of Motherhood as a branch on the Vine that Jesus is talking about. John 15:1 - 8 echoes Ezekiel 19:10.

    THE BRANCH OF MOTHERHOOD Texts: Ezekiel 19:10 & John 15:1- 8 Ezekiel 19:10  Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard transplanted by the water, fruitful and full of branches from abundant water (NRSV). John 15:1-8  "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. ...read more

    Our Final Flight Series

     | 8,261 views

    Funeral Sermon: This message was written for the death of a pilot. It shows how aviation is a metaphor for life, with its highs and lows. It was written primarily for the survivors, to help them lean on God during the difficult days ahead.

    We are gathered here today to remember and celebrate the life of George Royalty; and I want to hone in on a brief chapter of his life – one of the most memorable – which was his pursuit of aviation; a pursuit he undertook with his son. I got to meet George and talk with him a couple of times, such ...read more

    When The Party Is Over (2 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 2, 2022
     | 2,016 views

    Again we are going to visit that famous party that Belshazzar gave.

    We mentioned in a previous message that party was noted in the scriptures for several reasons, such as... (1) Belshazzar, the KING, personally gave it. (2) There were so many who attended it. (3) Most of the “elite” folks of that day and time attended it. Most of all, it was noted because ...read more

    Tree of Life Messianic Congregation Houston. Joseph had an opportunity to punish his brothers for their treachery but instead forgave them. The result was a cohesive people group leaving Egypt 400 years later to become the nation of Israel. Forgiveness brings healing.

    Feeling Small, Walking Tall Series

     | 5,503 views

    Small congregations might feel ineffective at reaching people, but big things come in small packages. Both the parable of "the mustard seed" and "the yeast" show how small, seemingly insignificant things can make a huge impact.

    The passage of Scripture that we will view tonight contains two short parables – “The Mustard Seed” and “The Yeast.” I have entitled our sermon “Feeling Small, Walking Tall,” and the passage that we’ll be studying provides a great opportunity for sharing a motivational message. You are probably ...read more

    We have been created in the image of God - which includes both male and female! This sermon will be an exploration of human sexuality from the standpoint of God’s creation. The Biblical account of creation has timeless lessons. Notice the words from our keynote scripture:

    So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them. - Genesis 1:27 INTRODUCTION: We have been created in the image of God - which includes both male and female!

    "I am the Bread of Life." The Bread of Life, the True Bread from heaven, passed through the oven of God's wrath, so now He both saves and sustains all those who have trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. The Grain of Wheat dying has produced a glorious harvest.

    Custody Battle

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on May 23, 2024
     | 1,403 views

    Today, more than ever before, the enemy of our souls is targeting our children. If we, as parents aren't careful to raise our children in the light of God's Love and Truth, satan will be happy to raise them in the shadows of immorality and apostasy.

    I found myself torn between two topics I felt led to preach on this week, but I believe the Lord used elder Jermaine’s last sermon to help me decide. I don’t know what part of that message resonated with you; but for me, the most powerful point that he brought out was this: Speaking of the great ...read more
