    Right at the moment that Isaac is about to celebrate his success by discovering water on the well, the Philistine snatched his rights and took over the same well by force. By the way, it is the third time that they deliberately did it. Will Isaac give up?

     | 3,012 views

    Evil is an interesting concept because it’s a direct result and product of sin. Evil only exists and abounds in this world because of Satan. Through the example of The Lord's Prayer - Jesus taught His disciples to pray that they would be delivered from evil.

    23) – “Deliver Us From Evil” Today, our search continues through the Bible for: “...those things most surely believed among us”. I ask that you all join me once again in Matthew Chapter 6, As we look once more to see what we believe about Prayer. In fact, today we are going to be looking once ...read more

    The Word provides a description of life in the "last days." We are forewarned so that we can continue to live godly lives even as the world grows dark.

    “Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

     | 119 views

    The spirit of Jezebel still operates today—seeking to control, intimidate, and shut down prophetic voices. But God is raising bold, fearless servants who will not bow to fear, nor run from confrontation.

    Easter 2(C) - We must obey God rather than men since mankind tries to silence God’s Easter message and because, as believers, we are set free to testify to God’s truth.

    WE MUST OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN April 23, 2006 - EASTER 2 - Acts 5:17-32 * * * * * * * * * * Dearest Fellow-Redeemed and Saints in the Lord: As we heard these words, they probably sounded familiar to us. Maybe we even noticed two contrasting ideas that ...read more

    We live in a hurry=up world where people often suffer in silence, thinking no one notices or cares; we need a better view – a vision such as Hagar affirmed, the God of My Vision who hears me.

     | 171 views

    Reproach is real, and many suffer its sting in silence—but it is not the final chapter. God is the Judge who lifts one and puts down another. When He decides to honour a man, no one can stop Him.

    This text is all about contrary winds - really opposition; those things that come into our lives and make us wonder if we will EVER get anything accomplished.

    A sermon about self centredness. The first in a series of anti-sermons where they tell people to do the opposite of what they are suppose to. Kind of blatant reverse psychology.

    Marriage Is Valuable, Divorce Is Dangerous

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on May 24, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,698 views

    When asked about divorce, Jesus first speaks about the value of marriage. Then he limits divorce. Unlike our culture which does just the opposite.

    Matthew 19 – The Value of Marriage, the Dangers of Divorce Matthew 19:1-3: When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. 3Some Pharisees came to him to test him. ...read more

    The early church was on fire for God, but it did have its share of problems and opposition. It was how they handled those problems that made them attractive to a lost and dying world.

    A Lesson in Divine Providence Acts 5:12-42 Introduction There was never a dull moment around First Church of Jerusalem! Pentecost came in a blaze of glory. Healings occurred around the city.

    Faith And Fear

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Nov 30, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,526 views

    The opposite of faith is fear. Fear is the fruit of unbelief, and it opens the door of your life to the devil. Sixty three times in the Bible, the Lord used the phrase, “Fear not.”

    Faith opens the door of your life to God. Ephesians 2:8 says that our salvation is comes by God’s grace, through our faith. No one could honestly study the ministry of Jesus upon this earth and miss the fact that He honored people’s faith. Hebrews 13:5 says, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, ...read more
