    based on 24 ratings
     | 46,818 views

    This sermon stresses the benefits of thanksgiving in our day to day lives and unveils what the bible has to say about seeing our troubles from the proper perspective.

    I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving… It has always been so strange to me how Thanksgiving has changed since its original conception—even from when I was a kid. For instance, how ironic is it that the very day after Thanksgiving just happens to be the biggest shopping day of the year! Think about ...read more

    Contributed by Kenneth R. Jenkins on Mar 8, 2022
     | 13,163 views

    Strangely enough, this four-letter word carries a lot of weight in every situation through many generations. What love may mean to you may not mean the same as I see it but everybody wants to know what love is.

    Our subject from the Scripture that was in your hearing, is a question I would like to ask. A question we all should ask ourselves when it comes to the subject we will speak on and try through God’s word find a conclusion. I would like to speak to you through the Holy Spirit’s ...read more

    As Christians we're supposed to live a different life than those around us. But how can we do that when we're surrounded with so many temptations to do things we know we shouldn't do?

    Back in the 14th century, in the region we now call Belgium, there was a duke by the name of Raynald III. Raynald had a nickname – Crassus. Crassus means fat, and he was fat because he really liked to eat. He liked to EAT … a lot! In the course of time, he had a violent quarrel with his younger ...read more
