    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Dec 25, 2012
     | 5,695 views

    Jesus has come to give his life as a ransom for many (10:45). Man needs to be saved from himself, from his deceitful heart, his bent to do evil.

    Introduction What is worse – to be told that you will fail or to watch your failure played out just as it was told? And what is more difficult for the condemned prisoner – waiting for the hours to tick by or the moment of execution finally arriving? Not very good choices either way, ...read more

    Our ultimate goal in life is to glorify God. One way in which we glorify God is by loving other believers. This sermon explores different levels of relationship, three that are inadequate, and one that demonstrates that we belong to God’s family.

    Jesus Is . . . ! Hebrews 3:1-19 June 25, 2017 Last week we were looking at Hebrews 2, which started out by reminding us if we don’t hold onto the truth, which is Christ, we very easily will drift away from that truth.

    Even though exploratory surgery is not pleasant it is occasionally necessary. Just as David asked God to search him for any sin of omission or commission so we need to allow God to run a diagostic check on our hearts and minds. When we allow the Lord to d

    Did you ever run into difficulty with those that are close to you? Did you ever think that you were the only one that this happened to. Well you are not alone, that same thing happened to Moses and the God’s Word can show light on why this happens.

    There have been many times that leaders have faced criticism from those that are closest to them. Just when things seem to be going right a left hook, out of nowhere puts things out of whack.

    No matter where you are, ¾ full, ½ empty, ¼ full or the ‘e’ light is on, you need to fill up. Today we’re going to look at how Jesus refills our tank, revitalizes and re-energizes us when we’re running on empty.

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,606 views

    Running ourselves to death is nothing new to God, who created everything with a precaution in mind-or perhaps an antidote-to exhaustion: Sabbath Rest. Wouldn’t you like to emerge from a Sabbath day refreshed and ready to tackle the most important things o

    It is obviously a scheme of Satan to keep us running in circles until we’re exhausted and totally uninterested in discipleship. This scheme is nothing new to God, who created everything with a precaution in mind--or perhaps an antidote--to exhaustion: Sabbath Rest. God has never stopped desiring ...read more

     | 8,150 views

    In a time of famine, Elimelech and his family run from God to the land of God’s enemies, and pay a steep price as they do what seems right in God’s eyes. How will we respond in the time of our own “famines?”

    Rest For The Rest Of Creation Series

    Contributed by Josh Foster on Mar 6, 2014
     | 5,331 views

    In the commands regarding the Creation we find echoes of Eden. Even as we don't leave human sin to run rampant in our personal lives, we should also seek to manage God’s creation in God-honoring and God-pleasing ways.
