    based on 1 rating

    Where we are quick to speak and quick to react, God’s ways puzzle us. Where we might be too proud and too quick to consider aggressively taking charge, God in His infinite wisdom demonstrates His loving mercy, humility, a

    THE BRUISED AND DIM Text: Isaiah 42: 1 - 7 Someone (Dr. Thomas Long) reiterates how this passage of scripture illustrates who God is as someone who will neither break a bruised reed, nor quench a dimly burning wick but will bring justice. Beside these metaphors of ...read more

    Who's In Charge? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 30, 2012
     | 5,659 views

    Face it, we humans like to be in charge of ourselves and as many others as we can. Though we aren't all power mongers, this default human behavior causes major problems when we see how God's universe really operates. The lesson comes home in this portion

    We as humans have various default behaviors that we engage in. I know that we as Christians don’t like to think that we are that way, but unless energy is expended in seeking healing from these default human behaviors, we will continue to do them naturally. Paul said in Philippians 2:12 ...read more

    Faithful Till The End

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 19, 2020
     | 11,842 views

    Peter makes a profound statement while writing to first century believers - the end of all things is at hand. He wanted the church to live and witness in light of anticipation of the Lord's soon return. Such an awareness would impact every aspect of Christian life.

    Faithful till the End 1 Peter 4: 7-11 Today is a day unlike any we’ve ever known. In the past few years, the world has seen drastic change. We are living in a day of difficulty and decision.

    False Conversion And Its Rotten Harvest

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2021
     | 2,582 views

    The Lord Jesus warns that not everyone who calls Him, "LORD" is truly His servant. Works done in His name do not necessarily demonstrate a genuine love for Him. This is a terrifying illustration of false conversion, and what to do about it before it is too late.

    Some things never change, especially towards the conclusion of the average worship service of the churches in which I have either been a member or have attended over the years. Many times the Sprit of God moves mightily in the hearts of members and visitors after the pastor has presented a ...read more

     | 4,654 views

    A sermon about humility.

    “Who’s Number One?” Mark 9:33-37 I love that the writers of the Gospels included this story. It teaches us so much, and it also holds a mirror up to me—perhaps to all of us as human beings. There is no place for judgment here, for who of us hasn’t found ourselves vying for the best places, ...read more
