    Who is knocking at your door? God has many opportunities to advance. Refuse to focus on the obstructions before us. Put forth greater effort and see the doors open before you.

    We are progressing in a study of Philippians; our text today is in chapter 3. In this chapter we are given a revelation of what life is all about. Sadly, most people never discover the true purpose of their lives. In fact, most Christians never grasp it. They often pursue the same goals that the ...read more

    Two weeks ago, we learned about fear. There are two kinds of fear: godly fear and ungodly fear. Today we will continue with "How to Overcome the Ungodly Fear?" As I said before, the ungodly fears disturb our daily activities, prevent us from doing what we should do, and cause emotional ...read more

    I Am The Light Of The World Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 4, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,649 views

    What does it mean when Jesus says He is the Light of the World? He spoke to a culture thoroughly verse in the Old Covenant, and so to understand the significance of His words, we will need to explore what the people heard when He spoke.

    ”Again Jesus spoke to [the Jewish leaders], saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ So the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.’ Jesus answered, ‘Even if I do bear ...read more

    Many of us have had hunger pangs to return the community that Covid 19 took from us. This sermon focuses on the aspects of community, the birth of the Church, the Great Commission and How the Holy Spirit empowers us. Today we will focus on barriers, baptism and breaking out.

    A NEW BEGINNING Text: Acts 2:1 - 11, 17 - 21 Act 2:1-11  When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.  (2)  And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. ...read more

    based on 61 ratings
     | 6,143 views

    In the USA we spend more on premium TV than we give to the church and missions. We focus on giving. You can give and not love, but you can’t love without giving.

    Thyatira: 'tis The Gift To Be Simple Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 3, 2003
    based on 31 ratings
     | 5,327 views

    True simplicity is a focus on the fundamentals of love, faith, service, and patient endurance. Getting caught up in theological guesses or emotional highs diverts us from "this one thing I do".

    Some things are so simple they are hard to understand! Some things are so direct and obvious that we don’t want to accept them as they are. We want to make them complicated. Have you ever tried to describe to someone how to tie a shoestring? It seems simple until you start to teach it. Left ...read more

    based on 94 ratings
     | 37,178 views

    This message will focus on the salvation message in order to help believers learn a gospel presentation they can share with their friends. Believers are also urged to invite their non-Christian friends and family members to this “reaping” service.

    Telling His Story Rev. Brian Bill 3/18/01 I want to begin this morning by reading part of an article written by Bob Greene, a nationally syndicated columnist. “In the hours after the carnage at the school near San Diego—as the sick, too familiar, pit-of-the-stomach feelings returned—the nation ...read more

    The Faith That God Favors

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Aug 31, 2004
    based on 64 ratings
     | 18,432 views

    Biblical faith always has God as it’s objective and focus. Therefore the type of faith that God favors is a faith that trusts God for the impossible, then persists in that godly trust until the provision is realized.

    THE FAITH THAT GOD FAVORS Text: Matt.9: 29; Matt.15: 28 Intro: What kind of faith does God favor? The obvious answer to that question is, “Real faith.” However, faith is as much a matter of cultivation as it is choice. Though faith begins with one’s choice to trust God, it is developed ...read more

    Rizpah

     | 47,564 views

    Rizpah, though insignificant in status, proved to be the focus of two defining events in the life of God’s people. It is from her story I hope we can learn some valuable lessons!

    Introduction: Rizpah (Riz-puh) was a concubine of King Saul who had bore Saul two sons. She is, in one sense, a very insignificant character. As a concubine, she had very little status nor influential power. Concubines were considered as “secondary wives,” they were inferior to the ...read more

    The theme will be relationships. This worship experience will focus on our relationships with family and friends. The challenge will be to move from merely going through the activities of Christmas with our family and friends to knowing those we love on a

    Last week we learned that the spirit of Christmas is relationships, beginning with our relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Today we see that to have a merry Christmas involves relationships with people. It seems that God screams this message to us every year through the writers of ...read more

     | 4,981 views

    In the first lesson of this series, we focus on three things: 1 - Everything Belongs to God. 2 - God gives us the Ability to Earn Money. 3 - The Pursuit of Money must be kept in Perspective.

    Introduction: A. A Madison Avenue advertising agency surveyed non-church-going people several years ago and asked them their impressions of church. 1.

     | 9,614 views

    In today's lesson we are urged not to present the gospel according to the world's wisdom. Instead of relying on logic and rhetoric, we should focus our attention on the central message of the Person and Work of Jesus Christ.

    Scripture Today we continue studying The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians in a series I am calling Challenges Christians Face. Christians in the church at Corinth had misunderstood the nature of wisdom with regard to salvation. From Paul’s perspective human wisdom opposes God’s ...read more

    The Other Thief

    The other thief shifts our focus from the more familiar thief. We know the one that ask Christ for a memorial. But what about the "the other thief" who died insulting the Lord?

    The text teaches many lessons. Let’s consider the following thoughts: I. There are Only Two Types of People in the World: believers and unbelievers. II. There is no Salvation in Physical Closeness to Jesus. (The other thief hung next to Christ without accepting Him) He hung next to the "bread of ...read more
