    To share with the listener how the sport of wrestling is much like our Christian life.

    Wrestling prepares a person to compete in the game of life. The wrestler is the one athlete that must meet their opponent and do battle completely on their own. No one can substitute and time outs are not possible. You have no one to check, screen, and block or assist you in anyway; there is no one ...read more

  • Seven Sundays To Easter: In The Garden Of Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 11, 2021
     | 4,082 views

    Jesus and the Eleven Disciples left the upper room and walked over to the Garden of Gethsemane. There Jesus prayed earnestly to the Father. Even though the disciples had come along with Him, our Lord was probably never so alone as He was at this time.

    Introduction: Jesus and the eleven disciples finished their time in the Upper Room. Judas Iscariot had left them so he could betray Jesus to the chief priests and others. He missed out on the truths which our Lord shared with the others in John 14-16, and the Lord’s beautiful beyond words in John ...read more

    Relying on God’s strength and prayer, not our own efforts, equips us to stand firm and face life’s battles with confidence and peace.

    Friends, you made it here today—some with a spring in your step, some with a sigh in your chest, and some just barely holding it together. That’s okay. God loves honest hearts.

    God meets us in our weakness, offering sustaining grace and strength through prayer, transforming our struggles into places where His power and love are revealed.

    Some of us came in today weary, worried, and a little worn. We know what it is to smile on the outside while something aches on the inside.

  • Friendship With God

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 6, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,925 views

    Prayer is more than just asking God. It is communion between two friends. God seeks friendship with man, for He is an intensely personal God.

    The passage we’ve just read today is prayer – when a man meets God and talks to Him. It is, the Bible says, “as a man speaks with his friend” (v.11). We will not fully understand prayer if we think about it only as something to do with asking something from God. Prayer is not just about ...read more

    Making It Personal! John 4:39-42 39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did." 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more ...read more

  • Unity

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on May 25, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,539 views

    Paul’s final appeal in this letter is a call for unity. In the first nine chapters he addressed the majority of the Christians in the Corinthian assembly. In chapters 10 - 13:10, his words were directed primarily to those who questioned his integrity. In

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: In the church there is a bond of family, yet room for variety. The devil tries to disrupt unity. To chickens tied at the legs and thrown over a clothesline may be united, but they do not have unity. (Leslie Flynn, Great Church Fights - Swindoll’s Book of Illustrations, ...read more

    Do not fear during this pandemic, but use common sense or discernment.

    Some pastors are turning this stay home order into a 1st Amendment issue when it is a common sense issue. If there were gangs of men roaming the streets randomly killing women would you send your female loved ones out on shopping trips? If the numbers were only 2% of the women were wounded or ...read more

    This is what happens when you ‘abide with God’! You start affecting the life of others! Is it not exciting? Come on, we need to let the world know that it is fun being in the presence of God!

    Vine John 15:5 says, “I am the vine, you are the branches, he who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing.” Do you know what it means to abide in Him?
