    With displays of the power of nature, it seems appropriate to turn to Scripture to provide us with lessons from nature’s storms. You may not have had to face hurricanes lately, but all of us have, and will, face our share of storms in our lives.

    Psalm 29 The Voice of the Lord 11/21/04 D. Marion Clark Introduction I first preached this sermon to my congregation in Florida. At that time two hurricanes had struck the state – Hurricane Charley, then hurricane Frances, which passed over our community. Florida had never been hit by ...read more

    They were good times! Israel had just rebuilt their temple from scratch after it had lay in ruins for 70 years. Their country had been over-run by the Babylonians who destroyed their cities and took most of the population captive in Babylon. But finally a new empire arose, the Persians, who freed ...read more

    David discovered the power of praise, that it can usher you into the presence of the Lord, give you heavenly vision, lift you from your troubles, and triggers the supernatural. Praise is defined and types of praise discussed.

     | 4,360 views

    Amos 6:1-14 shows us the perversions and punishment of people who profess to belong to God.

    Introduction The title of this sermon is “At Ease in Zion.” It comes from Amos 6:1a, which states, “Woe to those who are at ease in Zion.” Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines “ease” as “the state of being comfortable.” So why would Amos pronounce a “woe” on those who are at ease? The ...read more

    If You Love Me, Keep My Commands

    Jesus said, if you love me keep my commands. To be holy as God is holy is an impossible task for us to accomplish on our own! Thankfully, Jesus sent us a Comforter, the Holy Spirit to reveal and empower us to obey God’s commands out of love.

    If You Love ME John 14:15-21 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 How are the fallen to come to know, glorify, and obey a holy God of whom is wholly other?

    As we were growing up, many of our parents tried to warn us about dangers that we faced, but we could not see them until later in life.

    As the children of God, we used to wonder what the Word of God was warning us about in Matthew 24:22-23. We read, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is ...read more

    When we begin to feel anxious or overwhelmed, misjudged or offended, occupied with our needs and self-gratification, take a few steps back and take time to look at the big picture

    How many enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles? Normally, we turn all of the pieces face-up; set aside those that have a straight edge (the outside frame) and start assembling those first. Then we begin to assemble the rest of the pieces, looking for pieces that more obviously fit in a section, and work on ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 22, 2025
     | 146 views

    When life hurts, God’s presence sustains, His sovereignty prevails, and His purpose transforms suffering into glory through the Cross of Christ.

    There are times when life just doesn’t make sense. You love God. You serve Him. You try to walk uprightly. Yet pain seems to find you like a heat-seeking missile. You look around, and the wicked are prospering, the proud are climbing, and the people who mock God seem to have the easiest lives of ...read more
