    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,369 views

    When Jesus told us we needed to tell others about our faith in Him, did He leave us to do it all by ourselves? Or does God help us when we witness?

    About 350 years before Christ was born in Bethlehem, there was a man they called Alexander the Great. Over a period of 15 years Alexander the Great was in almost constant warfare and conquered most of known world.

    When the wind is right, South Koreans launch “Bible Balloons” into North Korea, where the Bible is banned. They are chocked full of Bibles on SD cards, flash drives, and photos of the Bible’s pages.

    Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in all of your Bibles. Now, the longest chapter in your Bible is devoted to how important the Bible is to our lives. Even though the Bible is really valuable, the words and wisdom of the Bible are objectionable to so many people. Banning the Bible The Bible is ...read more

    God will always answer our prayers in one of 3 ways: Sometimes, His answer is YES … Sometimes it’s WAIT … and sometimes it’s NO … We are happy when God says YES. We can get impatient when He says WAIT. But when God says NO what are we supposed to do?

    “When God says “No” So my question for you this morning is: Does God ALWAYS answer our prayer? In my life and in your life, God will always answer our prayers in one of 3 ways: SOMETIMES, His answer is YES … Sometimes it’s WAIT … and sometimes it’s NO ...read more

    Sermon # 32 - A Life That God Rejoices Over Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 2, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 354 views

    We are made in the image of God and our emotions too are expressions of the way God feels about us. It’s good to examine ourselves to see if God rejoices over us or is He grieved about us. Also the plans we make should always be in alignment with God’s will so He does not have to scorn them.

    We read in Zephaniah 3:17, “The LORD your God is mighty in your midst; He will save; He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest in His love; He rejoices over you with singing.” (AFV) We also read in Psalm 2:4, “From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.” (GNB) It ...read more

    It almost seems like Jesus cannot heal this blind man. It takes Him 2 times to give this man back his sight. What's going on here and what can it tell us about our need for God's touch in our lives?

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,903 views

    Jesus’ Second Coming is rich news to those who are hurting. All the pain and suffering of our lives will not last forever. As one pastor recently said, “The promise of the second coming shows us the ‘good ole days are always ahead of us.”

    Several weeks ago, I asked for your help in your choice of today’s sermon. Your top choice was “When Will Jesus Return to Earth?” But a little analysis of the results led us to understand that it was really only this early service that asked for this topic. So … in the next couple of services, the ...read more
