    God wants you to step in to the new that he has for you, but before you can step in to the new, you must and you have to be willing to let go of the old. Are you willing??

    The Bible has a lot to say about spiritual freedom and spiritual bondage.

    Freedom is not Free Selective verses Introduction- As we celebrate our countries 243rd year of independence, we must understand that freedom is not free, it cost someone something for us to be free. We must also understand that not all people want to be free, some want to be in bondage because ...read more

    I have begun to realize that many in the Church today think they are Committed when in actuality they are only Involved. There is a big difference between the two.

    TITLE: COMMITTED OR INVOLVED SCRIPTURE: JOSHUA 24:1, 14-16 We began a Bible Study series a few weeks ago on the subject Committed or Involved.

    Part 10 of 10 in a series dedicated to debunking commonly held myths that we think are in the Bible but really aren't, myths that can and often do have devastating effects on our faith.

    INTRODUCTION: For a moment I’m going to pick on those of us who are preachers! Preachers get a bad rap (often deserved) for running roughshod over statistics, manipulating them to fit their desire ends. In fact 73.6% of all statistics are made up on the spot including the one I just gave. In ...read more

    Troubled At His Appearing And Presence?

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Dec 20, 2011
     | 2,943 views

    The presence of the righteous can be a source of discomfort to those who are bent on unrighteous pursuits since it makes the unrighteous uncomfortable and guilty; a condition that should not be found in a believer who is in the presence of the Lord.

    Mat 2:1-6 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had ...read more

    I want you to ask yourself, "What do 1 see as my greatest power?" If your response is, "I have no power", then you couldn't be more wrong

    This message was preached for my present church’s 40th Anniversary and it calls us to ’cross the Jordan’ and move into the "Land of Promise."

    Decision-Time Deuteronomy 30:11-20 * My personal intent for today’s message was to entitle this “From the Wilderness to the Promised Land” and draw a parallel between the COI and HBC. However, God had other ideas, not about this message or the parallel, but about the title. * In context, 40 years ...read more

    "Finding God's Strength" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 15, 2014
     | 8,016 views

    Like many of the teachings of Jesus, the words He spoke did not really go along with the popular views of the day. Listen again to what he said…blessed are the meek…they will inherit the earth. This is certainly not the teaching that is found in the business world today.

    Finding God’s Strength Matthew 5:5 and 11:28-30 The setting for the message this morning is found in one of the highlights of the ministry of Jesus. His ministry had its share of highs and lows but this was definitely one of his finer moments. In the background, Jesus had just gone through ...read more

     | 6,592 views

    If God ordains whatsoever shall come to pass, what role do humans play in the greater picture? Are we merely puppets on a string or is the some sort of freedom we have to choose God?

    What about human freedom? This is a very interesting topic, and there are a variety of answers that should actually be considered, and hopefully we will look at the main points during the course of our service this morning. I’m not going to be doing any recapping today, simply to say that ...read more
