     | 3,933 views

    What happens to a church that is spiritually dead? Are you a thermometer or a thermostat - what does it mean to be at the ambient temperature of our culture? and how can we change? How to connect to God in a way that presevres our life of faith.

    It is important to tend to your spiritual health or you can get burned out in your faith.

    "Untended fires soon become just a pile of ashes." I came across this quotation some time ago and it always resurfaces in my memory when we go camping and make a campfire. The last time we went camping was in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We built a nice warm fire in the cool of the evening ...read more

    All believers have at least one gift that can be put into service for Christ and his Church.

    Traditionally they have been called “child prodigies.” Although educators often label them as “gifted and talented.” They are young people blessed with unbelievable intelligence, or amazing artistic talents, or seemingly unnatural physical abilities. We have all heard ...read more

    How To Understand The Times, And Leadership In Times Of Crisis

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on May 17, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,085 views

    A leader is not born, and not made in times of crisis, but are revealed to the world when crisis struck. Today's crisis has revealed a lack of leadership in the church.

    In today's world, knowing what to do in times of crisis can give a nation or a person the needed advantage to overcome adverse situations. But a shortfall of not knowing what to do can spell more trouble, anxiety, and fear in the midst of uncertainty and a wanting leadership. And this true in ...read more

    We minister like Jesus by taking the time to develop relationships with those to whom we minister.

    This week I came across a blog post by a man named Ian Stachowitz that caught my attention with its opening words: My full-time job includes mopping floors, washing windows, vacuuming carpets, and scrubbing toilets. I also profess my faith in Jesus and I strive to live like Him. By all accounts, I ...read more

    Cracking The Character Code

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Jan 1, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,092 views

    This is an expository sermon that teaches how to develop Christian character by abiding in Christ from The Exchanged Life perspective.

    It’s my hope to help you be prepared to crack the character code in the message this morning. Paul in writing to the Christians at Colossae revealed the key to cracking the character code in chapter 3:12-14. It is summarized for us in the very first phrase of v.12 when he says . . . The NASB ...read more

    In fact, growing numbers of people are saying that worry and stress related to coronavirus have negatively impacted their mental health. Regardless of where you think you are going or how you are feeling, James has a word for all those who find themselves in the midst of great trials.

    In this short book of James, 108 verses, James the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Pastor of the first church at Jerusalem address the subject of Christianity from a very practical view. He does not try to debate philosophy and teach doctrinal theology. He simply states in chapter one ...read more

    The Danger Of Falling Asleep In Church

    based on 4 ratings
     | 42,619 views

    All the things that Paul had done - all the sacrifices he had made for the Kingdom - all that Luke could have told us about the Life and Ministry of Paul, he spends time to write about this boy named Eutychus who fell asleep and fell out of a 3rd Floor window.

    I give credit to Rev. Dr. F. Bruce Williams for many of the thoughts of this message, not sure of the year. TITLE: THE DANGER OF FALLING ASLEEP IN CHURCH SCRIPTURE: ACTS 20:7-12 This is a very interesting text that presents many Preachers a challenge to apply real practical application. ...read more

     | 6,461 views

    when you look at the three main passages on Spiritual gifts (Rom. 12:6-8, 1st Cor. 12:7-11, Eph. 4:11-16) Paul lists them but he doesn't really define them. But even so, the gifts can be defined through our understanding of them and how they're used.

    GIFTED (part three) What's interesting is when you look at the three main passages on Spiritual gifts (Rom. 12:6-8, 1st Cor. 12:7-11, chapter 14 [tongues and prophecy], Eph. 4:11-16) Paul lists them, explains where they're from and explains what they're for but he doesn't really go into defining ...read more

     | 6,852 views

    Life on earth, the road we travel on our journey, is tough; in fact, the Bible clearly states that life is a battle.

    “The Journey of a Lifetime: Equipped for Trouble” Eph. 6:10-20 I once saw a poster which showed a little clapboard church surrounded by an X-rated drive-in theater, a munitions factory across the street, and miles of concrete freeway crammed with cars.

     | 163 views

    We expect feedback peace after prayer, confirmation after worship. But what if it never comes? This message moves from “wedding-day” faith to “hospital-room” faith, exploring emunah steadfast loyalty and how God’s silence becomes the ground where resilient faith is formed.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,586 views

    Although his life is filled with one exciting adventure, Samson had a fatal attraction to the Philistine world. We must be careful about what claims our attention and dominates out thought life. If you get too close to the world, the world will dine you, wine you, blind you & bind you.

    Sermon. Here Comes The Judge – Samson, the Son of Promise Judges 16:18-30 Introduction: Samson was a Hebrew with an unusual gift of strength who must respond properly to the call of God on his life in order to lead his people out of enslavement.
