How To Handle Anxiety And Worry

Contributed by Larry Moyer on Aug 5, 2009

God does not want us to worry. He’s given us biblical examples of his power and control, and He’s even volunteered to handle things for us. This message explains how we can avoid the "What If" syndrome and leave the worrying to God.

They are only worried. Worry is the diet of our day. We are plagued by that "What if?" problem. What if my car was ...read more

Our Great High Priest

Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008

Jesus Christ has become our eternal High Priest. And I think there are three things that these verses tell us about our High Priest that should come as an encouragement to us.

From the time of the fall of Adam man has needed a mediator… someone who would span the gap that now separated him from God. Man is sinful. God is holy. And because of His holiness God will have no fellowship or connection with sin. Before the fall God and man had close fellowship with each ...read more

Moonstruck Lunatic And Members

Contributed by Engleburg Toney on Jun 6, 2010

Whether the boy was a lunatic or suffered from epilepsy is not really the issue. Fact of the matter is the Church suffered from a seizure of unbelief that cripples the ministry of Christ.

Before we talk about our text this evening we need to first ask ourselves do we truly, honestly, sincerely, want to see our Lord’s return. I ask because the Bible gives us four things that must occur before the Second Coming of Christ and they are all within our scope of responsibility and are ...read more
