Contributed by Eric Schall on Oct 23, 2006

This message is from 2 Samuel 6 where David tries to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. The day ends in disaster and David is left feeling angry, afraid and withdraws from the Presence of God. In life God will not always meet our expectations of

The Battle For The Heart

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Aug 1, 2021

The media is full of “heart-healthy” tips that we should follow, but even more importantly are the efforts we make to safeguard our spiritual hearts, or what Solomon calls the wellspring of our spiritual life. Learn more about this battle for our hearts in this Sunday’s message.

The Battle for the Heart Introduction Last week we looked at the battle for our minds, and I ended saying, “That while the battle we are in is spiritual, the primary ground that this battle is fought is in our minds.

Revivalist-In-Training

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 4, 2023

What Jesus did in the gospels should be seen in the Church today, but it's not. A revivalist is a person who restores what is unused. But it starts with recognizing where we are in our walk with Jesus.

Good evening. My name is Barry, and I am a revivalist-in-training. Now, let me explain what I mean. Webster’s dictionary gives two basic meanings for the word revival and the one that, in my view, reflects what I believe the Bible teaches is “restoration of force, validity, or effect (as to a ...read more

Guard Your Heart Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Jun 7, 2021

Solomon, being taught of David and being gifted with the gift of wisdom which God had given him, realized that wisdom and knowledge of the things of God should bring a person even closer to God; and therefore, keep him from failure and ruin.

Guard your Heart Proverbs 4: 1-27 Biblical authors claim that the kings of Israel and Judah were divinely chosen and that they were expected to abide by the Mosaic covenant (see, for example, Deut 17:14-17, 1Sam 8-12, 1Kgs 2:3-4). Thus, Israelites saw their king as an agent of God, ruling on ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 2, 2025

At The Name Of Jesus

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 25, 2017

The world tries to stifle the name of Jesus. Why? Because that name opens the door to the supernatural. The Name of Jesus is the only name recognized on Earth, in Hell, and in Heaven. It has the power to save souls, heal bodies, and conquer demons!

What Did You Say? Series

Peter fails to see Jesus's supremecy and plan for the coming kingdom and tries to push his plan instead. We often do the same in telling God how things are going to work instead of looking at his plan

The fear of death is universal. And through the centuries, people have tried various ways to overcome their fear of death, but Jesus offers us a solution that actually works. What does Jesus offer that no one else can give?

In the early 1900s there was a famous psychiatrist by the name of Dr. Carl Jung.

Forcing God’s Hand

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

This message looks at the account of someone who was given a promise by God that he would receive a great blessing. But he, along with his wife, took matters into their own hands, and tried to get ahead of God, leading to strife.

In our message this morning we’re going to focus on how we need to have patience when following the Lord. Hebrews is a book of the Bible that frequently talks about following God in faith, and we read that those who are patient will be able to “inherit the promises” (Hebrews 6:12).
