    meekness

    The Fruit of Meekness 7/27/03 I’d like to say that today I’m here to speak in behalf of a group that is maligned, put down, and discriminated against. And it’s just not fair! I’m here to speak up for the "lemons!" [HOLD UP LEMON] When things go good they’re "peachy" If something is in good ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 16,542 views

    We all deal with fear, and in the time in which we are now living, fear is multiplied over and over. The warning to “fear not” is frequently repeated in Scripture. Fear is described as bondage, torment, and a snare.

    Of Whom Shall I Be Afraid Psalm 27 Written 9-11-06 First message in a series called “The Overcoming Life.” Introduction What makes you afraid? Darkness? But the Lord is your light. Danger? He is also your salvation. Lack of a basic need? He is your strength. Then why be ...read more

    People love to finish strong. Jesus, in fact, spent significant time doing just that.

    “Jesus 101: Grabbing the Glory” Mark 9:2-13 People love to finish strong. Most of us desire to “go out in a blaze of glory.” Athletes want go out as champions. Actors hope their last performance is award winning. Preachers want their last sermon to be their best. And ...read more

    Dream On Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Feb 26, 2012
     | 14,096 views

    Dreams happen when we let our imagination run wild, when we choose to think outside the box, when we throw off all of the constraints of the way things are and imagine the way things could be. So what is a dream? A dream is God’s picture, vision or bluepr

    Dream On... Genesis 37:1-11 In our Scripture today, Joseph, one of 12 sons of Jacob had a dream where he would rise up in authority over his brothers and they would bow down to him.

    Some Thoughts On Depopulation

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 23, 2024
     | 335 views

    The world's current population is somewhere between 7 and 8 billion. Some think that's too many and have openly advocated for depopulation measures. All they need to do is wait for the Great Tribulation and they'll come close to getting their wish!

    Introduction: A number of people, mostly elites, and increasingly calling out for more people to die! The justification, if I understand it correctly, is that there are too many people on this planet to be kept (the “sustainability” argument) and/or there isn’t enough of the right _kind_ of people. ...read more

    This is a sermon series for the six Sundays of Lent. I am using a wooden "Tau" cross on the platform and some examples of the instruments of torture the Romans used - large spike, scourge/cat of 9 tails, spear, and crown of thorns. There is a teaching sheet below the sermon.

    Why is there such an interest in world peace? It is because of the atrocity of war and the devastation it brings. What is the answer? Is there one? Yes! There is an answer.

    Sermon # 47 - The Holy Hand Of God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 7, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,705 views

    Our God is a holy God and we as His children are called to be a people ‘set apart’ for the Lord. Success is ours when we choose to walk in holiness, and failures are times when we must take stock of our lives to see where we have failed.

    The promise of God as given to us at the onset of this year was from Act 11:21 “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) As we meditated and studied on the various aspects of the Hand of God, we realized that God’s hand protects us, His ...read more

    The Sad, Sad Decision Of Cain, The Firstborn Of Adam And Eve (Expanded) – Genesis Chapter 4; Jude 1:12 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022
     | 1,929 views

    When Jude deals with the ravenous wolves of the false teachers, his thoughts go to three vile people in the Old Testament. Today I am doing only one of those even though we touched on it in the past. Cain is the disobedient and murderous one. We will examine the story in more detail.

    THE SAD, SAD DECISION OF CAIN, THE FIRSTBORN OF ADAM AND EVE (EXPANDED) – GENESIS CHAPTER 4 Jude 1:12 There was an earlier massage that contained Cain and Korah together. Now Cain alone is expanded. Today we look at Cain. {{Jude 1 v 11 “Woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain, and for ...read more

    Let Us Alone That We May Serve The Egyptians

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,259 views

    Have you noticed that many things in life do not seem to change? For example, in our text, God delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt. But once they were delivered from Pharaoh, he changed his mind and decided to pursue after them and to bring them back.

    When the Israelites saw them in pursuit, the Bible says, “…They were sore afraid…” In that fear they turned to Moses and said something that was very disturbing. We read, “…And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore ...read more
