Have Faith In God

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 27, 2011

Have faith in God. Focus not on the size of your faith but the size of your God. Who do you believe in is important. Do not shift your focus away from God and onto your self, your skills, your knowledge or past accomplishments.

Easter is over, but Jesus has not yet ascended to be with God. But the disciples know that He will be leaving them soon; He had told them that and they were afraid.

Dealing With Contradictions

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 8, 2021

As Christians, we live in world that is foreign to us. We live in a world that contradicts the life that Jesus lived - a life that He said we could also live. This message examines the reasons why we face contradictions in our lives and how to deal with them.

In the Gospels, Jesus uses a method of teaching known as parables to communicate principles about the kingdom of God. A parable compares two things by placing them side by side. By using parables, Jesus compares the unfamiliar, the kingdom of God, to the familiar, nature and life experiences. ...read more

Rashness And Integrity: God's Ways Are Not Ours

Nothing Is Impossible Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

The word “impossible” means nothing to God! The birth of a baby born to a virgin was a miracle! The Lord can also miraculously bring light to a dark situation. “Never doubt in the dark, what God spoke while you were in the light.”

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Nothing Is Impossible,” as we briefly touch on the account of how baby Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary. I would like to begin with some inspirational quotes and illustrations; and I’ll start by sharing one entitled “Impossible Takes Longer.” Charles F. ...read more

Living In The Kingdom 15 Series

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Apr 21, 2022

In this message we will examine what Jesus said about fasting. While it is common for people to say they are fasting from watrching TV, playing video games, etc, this is not scripturally an accurate protrayal of what fasting truly is and the power that comes through it when combined with prayer.
