    Improving ourselves in a self-focused way is not necessarily bad but it must come second to improving our relationship with Jesus.

    CHRISTIAN NEW YEARS RESOLUTION WORLDLY RESOLUTIONS We are at the transition point between the end of one year and the beginning of a new year. What happened in the old year, good or bad, is done and we cannot change it; we simple must live with the results of the past. In living with the past, ...read more

    Church Growth Principles #2 "It's A Seed Problem" Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,681 views

    So many churches out there today desire to change the world, the only problem is that they do not desire to change themselves first. In order to change the fruit of the ministry you must first check your roots!

    • Focusing on Church growth what would you say that it is instituted or measured? o In Numbers? o In Evangelism? o In Money? o In a beautiful facility? o In a parking lot filled with new and expensive cars? o In the church with a plethora of ministries? • Too often churches and people when focusing ...read more

    Have you ever desired to stand in the presence of God like Moses? Find out what it takes to stand in the Glory of God? See how Moses humbled himself, and desired to experience the Glory of God!

    Revival – God Show Us Your Glory Exodus 33:1-18 King James Version (KJV) And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed ...read more

    He wanted the Lord to carefully think about what he called here his “meditation;” that is, he desired him not merely to listen to his “words,” but to the secret and unexpressed desires of his soul.

    Thursday, January 9, 2014 Tom Lowe Psalm 5—Perfect Man in the Midst of Enemies. 1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I ...read more

    This is a message that is good for the beginning of a new year. It encourages self-examination and what God is calling the Church to return back to.

    God’s Bucket List For You

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Oct 12, 2022
     | 2,944 views

    God desires for us to fulfill during our lifetime what is available to us that are identified in scripture. I call them God’s “bucket list” for us.

    Your Bucket List Turn with me to First Timothy 6. On Tuesday I will have a birthday. I mention that because the verse we’re going to read hit me in a different way – in a way that it has never hit me before. It reminded me that there are things that I probably need to go back and do a self check ...read more

    A look at why God desires to be glorified as well as how we can do more of that.

    DOES GOD WANT GLORY? Yes, not because He has low self-esteem, but because He wants us living for what matters most. - 1 Timothy 1:17. - John 8:50, 54; John 13:31; John 17:4-5. - There are numerous passages that speak of the importance to God of receiving glory.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Timothy 6:10 Supporting Texts: Matthew 6:24, Hebrews 13:5, Ecclesiastes 5:10 INTRODUCTION: The love of money is a topic that resonates deeply within the Christian faith and broader society.

    New Year 2023: Ask, And It Will Be Given To You!

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jan 8, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,003 views

    Some argue that we don't need to express our desires to God because He already knows what we want without us saying it. Some think that without asking, God will give us what we need. What does the Bible teach about expressing our wishes to God or asking God to provide us with our desires?

    What are your hopes and wishes for 2023? Some hope this year will be healthier or no new diseases will emerge. Some hope to meet God soon because of their old age and weaker body condition. Like Tante Christine, she expressed her desire to move on from life in this world during our visit. On Dec. ...read more

    Truth is not a viewpoint or a feeling but a Person—Jesus—calling us from self-made versions to surrender, freedom, and transforming grace.

    ITRODUCTION — TRUTH IN A WORLD OF VERSIONS We live in a strange generation—one that has replaced reality with versions of reality. If you’ve noticed, we no longer speak about truth the way Scripture does. We speak in smaller, softer, more flexible categories: “Your truth.” “My truth.” “Live your ...read more

    This sermon encourages self-examination of our hearts for hidden sin, emphasizing the importance of purity and honesty in our relationship with God.

    Beloved congregation, as we gather together in the unity of our faith, our hearts beat with a shared rhythm, a rhythm that echoes the love and grace of our Savior.

    Different Roles, Same Assignment

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 9, 2021
     | 6,839 views

    There are some in the body of Christ who see those with public roles (ministries) in the body of Christ as being more valuable to the kingdom than those who don’t. But this is simply not true when you see “the big picture.”

    Over the years, I’ve known Christians who, because they didn’t have public ministries, believed that they were, somehow, second tier to those who did. They were not preaching. They were not teaching Sunday school. They didn’t lead the choir. They served on committees. They were not unhappy. They ...read more
