    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Aug 22, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 37,165 views

    This message is about how we can get so caught up looking at and desiring something that someone else has that we fail to walk in the blessings that God has already given us.

    Don’t Let The Green Grass Fool You Scriptures: Psalm 1:1-3 Introduction The title of my message this morning is “Don’t Let The Green Grass Fool You!” Some of you are old enough to remember the song with this title. Let me read the first verse of this song to you: ...read more

    When He fed them, we are told, So they all ate and were filled. It was true on that day, and it is true today also that Christ has enough mercy and grace to satisfy any desire.

    -AD 29- Decapolis Lesson: Four Thousand Fed Matthew 15:32-39, Mark 8:1-9 -Matthew- 32 Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

    Seven Bad Examples: Cain Series

    Contributed by Bret Hammond on Jan 10, 2015
     | 7,559 views

    Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10, "These things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did." There is much we can learn from bad examples in the Bible.

    INTRODUCTION A. Growing up it seemed to me that there were two ways to learn something 1. On rare occasions –someone of exemplary character pointed out –more like him? 2. But more often than not –my parents would observe a friend of mine doing-wrong 3. Point, “You better ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,742 views

    'Christ revealed, in us and to the world' serving as the mission statement of Redemption Centre Church, expresses the desire for a revelation of the Christ to us, in us and through us to the world so as to bring glory to His name!

    But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    Regaining The Straying Brother

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 25, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,523 views

    Church discipline is about regaining the brother (15). When our prayer is, truly, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven - our desire will be in agreement with what God has already determined in heaven.

    REGAINING THE STRAYING BROTHER. Matthew 18:15-20. ‘The Son of man is come to save that which was lost,’ declared Jesus (Matthew 18:11). The Lord illustrated this with a story of a man who left his ninety-nine sheep to seek out just one lost sheep (Matthew 18:12-13). Jesus affirmed, ‘Even so, it ...read more

    Samson: A Life Wasted

    Contributed by Rich Cook on Jul 2, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,838 views

    A study of waste and wasted potential. Samson had such potential to be a great man of God. Instead of treasuring the gifts he'd been given, he wasted his strength on his own desires.

    What a Waste Seeds: some background notes from a Steve Malone message/outline. 1. I’m aggravated by waste. 2. Waste: wasted time (waiting in line, or at the doctor, or to get your driver’s license), wasted food (seeing food thrown away, or left on the plate), wasted money (government ...read more

     | 26,249 views

    If we desire to have a part in the great work of salvation, every pursuit and pleasure—which hinders the effect of the gospel upon the mind, or loosens its hold upon the heart—must be given up.

    The Significance Of The Gifts Series

    Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Dec 10, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,119 views

    The Old and New Testament Scriptures hold truths about the birth of Jesus Christ. The truths regarding the gifts offered by the Magi are worthy of consideration if we desire to give Christ the honor He deserves.

    The Significance of the Gifts Ingredients For Christmas Worship Matthew 2:8-11 says, "He sent them to Bethlehem and said, 'Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.' After they had heard the king, ...read more

    Standing In The Gap As An Intercessor Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 18, 2025
     | 952 views

    Standing in the gap as an intercessor is a powerful and vital role in the body of Christ. God desires individuals who are willing to stand before Him, interceding on behalf of others—be it individuals, families, communities, or nations.

    STANDING IN THE GAP AS AN INTERCESSOR By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Ezekiel 22:30 "And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none."

    The First Evangelistic Sermon

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023
     | 946 views

    The fall of humanity as recorded in Genesis 3 shows the consequences of rebellion but also the promise of redemption from a merciful God who desires that no one perish, but that everyone would come to Him for everlasting life.

    The first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis are an authentic record of the beginning of the universe and the world. It is the work of Almighty God and is a testimony to logic, rationality, meaning, purpose, and the precise design of what we know as science. Within the first two chapters ...read more

    God desires that we remain passionately in love with Him. The warning to the church in Ephesus serves as a reminder that good works and religious activities are not enough—our love for God must remain fresh and vibrant.

    RETURNING TO YOUR FIRST LOVE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Revelation 2:4-5 "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and ...read more

    Get A Glimpse

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 30, 2022
     | 2,357 views

    In Exodus 33, Moses gets alone with God to be in His presence. His experience with God was special, and yet it’s the same experience which God desires to have with every one of us.

    Illustration: Is there someone, maybe a loved one or a close friend, who you enjoy spending time with? When it comes to that special person, talking on the phone is good, or doing Facetime, but nothing beats being with them in their presence. In Exodus 33, Moses gets alone with God to be in His ...read more

    A critical examination of many churches today shows signs of weakness, lethargy, and decline. The once vibrant fires of revival and renewal have dimmed or been obstructed by sin, personal desires, and evil forces.

    The state of many churches today reveals weakness, apathy, and decline. The fires of revival and renewal have dimmed or been hindered by sin, worldly influences, and spiritual opposition. To bring about a change, we must repair the altar of the Lord. The altar serves as a meeting place between the ...read more
