    Contributed by Chris Surber on May 29, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,779 views

    Truth is not dependent on circumstance. God is unchanging and truth is therefore, by definition, unchanging. God can be trusted even in the storms of life because He never changes!

    In The Storm, Mathew 14:22-33 Introduction In a storm one dark night some sailors were thrown by the sea upon a rock, to which they clung for their lives. Their first feeling was one of joyful gratitude. They were on a rock. Their second emotion was a sickening fear, for the tide might rise, and ...read more

    We live in a time when evil is sweeping our culture. Christians not anchored are being swept with it. We look at the Church’s duty to resist evil; what we’re to resist; and how we’re to resist it.

    IT’S TIME TO RESIST! 2 Cor. 10:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Over the Christmas break I heard about some ladies who were shopping non-stop for several days. 2.

    A Living Sacrifice

    based on 3 ratings
     | 72,607 views

    Sacrificing to God has always been part of the man-God relationship. Abel and Cain made sacrifices. Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son. The Levitical system of sacrifices lay at the center of Jewish life. Today God calls for living, not dead sacrifice.

    If Jesus were to ask you, "What Do You Want Me To Do For You?" How would you answer?

Even after 35 years of Preaching and Pastoring, this season never grows old or tiresome as I stand in the pulpit. This is the First Sunday in Advent. • In the media the season ...read more
