    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,199 views

    A message to the 2009 "A Real Man" Conference at our church. Much of the info in this message I gleaned from the teachings of Robert Lewis.

    A REAL MAN 1 Corinthians 15:45-49 * Men – Video / Women – Video * All of my life I have had my own personal concept of what it means to be a REAL man. Understand, I never gave it much “thought”, I simply watch dad, papaw, my uncles, men friends, and others to decide what manhood is all about. ...read more

    Hopeless And Helpless? Series

    Contributed by Michael Deutsch on Jul 22, 2013
     | 8,754 views

    Too often in life, we find it easier to complain and wallow in our self pity, than to accept healing from Christ.

    Hopeless and Helpless? June 2, 2013 John 5:1-14 Have you ever felt hopeless — helpless — at the end of your proverbial rope? That’s a loaded question, because we’ve all been there. In one way, or many ways, we’ve been there. When we’re there, we have options, ...read more

    Inclining And Applying God's Word – Part 1

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Aug 21, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,748 views

    If we truly want to be changed, we must begin dealing effectively with the issues that affect our lives. If we need radical surgery, don’t settle for a bandaid. Let’s “incline our ears” to the full truth of God’s Word

    Inclining and Applying God’s Word – Part 1 – Proverbs 2:2 Intro: We have focused on “receiving & treasuring the Word and as we see in today’s text, this is for a purpose: “so that you may…” One precedes the other. We must receive God’s Word and treasure it before we can truly “incline” & “apply”. ...read more

    Rueben Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 25, 2022
     | 2,794 views

    The book of Exodus establishes God's covenant relationship with the full-fledged nation of Israel. The descendants of Abraham prosper after settling in Egypt, only to be enslaved by a fearful, hateful Egyptian Pharaoh. God appoints Moses to lead the people out of this bondage.

    His Name is Wonderful! (Exodus 6:14-25) 14 These are the heads of their fathers' households. The sons of Reuben, Israel's firstborn: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben. 15The sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul the son ...read more

    Living In Lack In The Middle Of Abundance

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 4, 2025
     | 450 views

    As Christians, if we are called to live in the abundance of God’s provision, love, and grace, why are so many of us living in a mindset of lack—spiritually, emotionally, and even materially? Why do we say that we serve a God of abundance, and settle for scarcity?

    John 10:10 – “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Introduction: As Christians, if we are called to live in the ...read more

     | 6,769 views

    In beginning an interim pulpit ministry, God directed my attention to Abram/Abraham as a paradigm of faith. Some will object to the almost typological approach to these texts.

    Famine in the Promised Land Text: Genesis 12:1-20 Today, may or may not be the beginning of a journey together. But whether God allows me to stay with you over a long period of time or whether today is merely a temporary lesson for an eternal purpose, God has placed this message on my heart.

    This passage demonstrates the principle of the church in the church. That is, there are only a few (remnant) who are grateful enough to show it. Some people call this the pareto principle - 20% or less do 80% or more of all ministry.

    Where are the other nine? LUK 17:11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. LUK 17:12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance LUK 17:13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on ...read more

    How do we handle people who disagree with us? Paul gives us some good advice on how to listen actively, respond prayerfully, and watch circumspectfully when dealing with the less mature in Christ.

    If we would become more compassionate and less judgmental, what would happen? We would become like a well watered garden, with flowing streams. We become Repairers of Broken Walls used by God.
