    Come Out Of Your Cave

    Contributed by James May on Aug 10, 2011
    based on 21 ratings
     | 38,618 views

    Like Elijah, we often find ourselves in a cave of hardness, coldness and perhaps even spiritual and emotional depression. We listen for the voice of the Lord, but he often speaks in ways that we aren't expecting. God wants us to come out of that cave an

    Come Out of the Cave August 10, 2011 By Pastor James May The Prophet Elijah was a man of God like none other described in the Bible. He did mighty exploits for the Lord, and saw the hand of God move to perform great miracles at Elijah’s word. At his word alone, God stopped the rain for 3 ...read more

    The Nourishment You Need

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Aug 13, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,125 views

    This is a sermon that focuses primarily on Amos 8, looking at how a deficiency of the Word of God plays out in our lives individually and as a culture.

    Amos has always seemed to me like a man I could enjoy being around. He was plain spoken, and to the point. He was the kind of guy who appreciated hard work. Amos was a shepherd. He didn’t shepherd those pretty, fluffy white sheep. Based on the word used, he worked with a really ugly, ...read more

    This message reveals the sources of discouragement and the ways God restores us in times of discouragement.

    We are in a life and death battle against the enemy of the Lord. If you are not on his side he is out to take you down. He can do that a number of ways – through lies and deceit (cults and other religions), through self-centered pleasures (worldliness), through unforgiveness and ...read more

    The Bible reveals that there is a plan. It is God's plan. And it is His plan for us. God does have a wonderful plan for your life. It is called the Plan of Salvation, or the Gospel. Gospel means "good news." The good news of God is that He has a plan for

    Fitting In To The Family Portrait

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Mar 4, 2012
     | 4,461 views

    As part of the household of God, we represent Jesus in the world, and should look and act like Him.

    Our gospel today from Luke is a precious moment in the life of the nascent Church. We see Jesus praying, with his followers around him. And he tells them—he tells us—about who he is and about who we are. Think of it as a sort of family portrait. Jesus is praying. All of our life, all ...read more

    To share that we can get left behind from receiving what God has planned for us because of selfishness and priorities.

    Today’s sermon is titled “Left Behind”. I am sure all of us have left things behind a time or two in our busy lives haven’t we? I think we can all relate to leaving the house and forgetting our wallet or leaving a restaurant and forgetting something on the table such as sun glasses or car ...read more

    Our World has plenty of Knowledge and Education but it doesn't necessarily bring along much wisdom. Some times wisdomk can be learned from from the fairly uneducated. Take children for example:

    Introduction There were once a number of beech trees which had formed a wood; they had all fallen to the ground through a storm.

    Victory In Jesus

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Apr 12, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,497 views

    Our faith centers upon the fact of the resurrection. Because Jesus has risen from the dead we have victory over sin (past, present, and future) and death.

    1. What if Jesus did not rise from the dead? I remember back when I was in seminary I took a philosophy class, and the professor posed a hypothetical situation, he said, “hypothetically speaking, what if someone found the bones of Jesus, and could prove it was his bones beyond a shadow of a ...read more

    Someone wrote that some of the world’s unhappiest people are Christians. Why? Some Christians are too Christian to enjoy sinning but too sinful to enjoy their Christianity. Some Christians have enough faith to recognize their need for prayer, but not enough to take them to prayer meeting. Some ...read more

This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’” (Luke 12:20) Accountability is a word that many people do not understand.
