    God is sovereign!

    I feel this morning somewhat like the numerous TV reporters covering events in the Middle East, who have to stay alert to a variety of events beyond their control while trying to focus on the story they are reporting. Off-balance is probably a good description. Being off-balance also describes us. ...read more

    God is not only our Comforter, but from time to time He is our discomforter. We need to take a bold step of faith and move out of our comfort zones.

    Be Bold Take a Step of Faith Luke 1:26-38 Matthew 14:22-33 This morning we are looking at two Biblical examples of individuals that moved beyond their comfort zones. Mary the Mother of Jesus by faith was willing to accept God’s plan for her life and move beyond her comfort zone and waited ...read more

    The blind man over came the problem of the Pharisees; they could see, but could not believe.

    Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Doest thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, ...read more

    Last in my Baptism series. This sermon serves as a reminder of our baptisms.

    I love the story about the older couple that had trouble remembering common, day-to-day things. They both decided that they would write down requests the other had, and so try to avoid forgetting. One evening the wife asked if the husband would like anything. He replied, “Yes. I’d like a large ...read more

    What Not To Do When Low Series

     | 5,285 views

    If you get into the spiritual lows, among the things you should not do is get angry and play the blaming game. Another thing you should not do is get comfortable with it.

    I don’t feel in touch with God anymore. I have to drag myself and my family to worship. We have been coming less and less. I feel apathetic about my Lord. I rarely pray. I hardly ever read my Bible or anything else that might stimulate my spirituality. I always seem to be unhappy with the ...read more

    This is a study of the book of Revelation Chapter by chapter CHAPTER 5 PART 5

    Revelation Chapter 5 There should be no break between chapters four and five. The same scene of God’s throne is being covered. God is seen sitting upon His throne and holding a sealed book in His right hand. The book is sealed. It has never been opened. The importance of the sealed book cannot ...read more

    We are so busy. Are we too busy to pray? What do we pray for? Does AMEN mean we are disconnecting God and getting back to life -- or does it mean something else?

    There are 5 Presbyterian congregations in Iraq, and lately, I have been writing and receiving email from some of their pastors and elders. I told them about our 24 hour prayer vigil. They were very, very impressed. Looking back, I realize, I might have given them the wrong impression. I’m going ...read more

    The violence in The Passion of the Christ has many moviegoers asking: Does the movie have to be so bloody?

    The violence in The Passion of the Christ has many moviegoers asking: Does the movie have to be so bloody?

    First four seals

    As we have already seen in this study on Revelation the resounding message of which is God is in control despite the fact that there are such cataclysmic things going on around everywhere. These seals (seven in number) can be directly related to the Olivet Discourse given by Jesus Himself. As we ...read more

     | 7,361 views

    The title of this text in the Bible is called "The Lord Helps His Troubled People." In our lives we encounter troubles and difficulties and as a natural response we become discouraged and defeated.

    During Your Troubled Times WHAT MANIFESTS IN YOUR LIFE? Psalm 3:1-8 “O LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah. But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my ...read more

    Is your love a extravagant, costly love. Are you Broken and spilled out in your love for Christ? That’s the only kind of love that is going to change our world.

    Broken and Spilled Out Pastor Glenn Newton 3-18-01 Mark 14:1-11Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were only two days away, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some sly way to arrest Jesus and kill him. 2 "But not during the Feast," they said, "or ...read more

    based on 23 ratings
     | 3,466 views

    The search for true, lasting happiness and fulfillment in life always ends with finding Christ as Savior. The happiness that the world offers is fleeting and false.

    The Search for True Happiness by Pastor Jim May In today’s church, more than ever before, it is so easy to go after things that we believe will bring true happiness. But what we often find after we have obtained what we sought after is most often far less than what we thought it would be and ...read more

    A family is referred to as a church within a church, a republic within a republic, a world within a world.

    This is a matter that concerns everybody and I strongly advise you to read on with rapt attention. Today is a day to cry against the Pharaoh that has been pursuing your family and the prison warden that had caged your family. You will cry out to the Lord to raise a Moses that will deliver your ...read more

    As we study our text today, we will see that the words of Joshua to the Israelites apply to us as well, and that we too have a choice to make.

    "THE CHOICE IS YOURS" TEXT: JOSHUA 24:1-27 INTRODUCTION Making choices is a part of life, we make choices everyday. Some of the choices that we make are really not that big of a deal, things like: what color socks should I wear today, what should we do for dinner or ...read more
