    What If?

    Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 25, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 28,367 views

    Its only when we take ourselves and the word if out of the equation and trust God to do the impossible. The story concludes with not a question of if, but the fact that David answered and stepped out of if, into faith! Are you willing to do the same?

    What if? Illus. From sermon central A certain king needed a faithful servant and had to choose between two candidates for the office. He took both at fixed wages and told them to fill a basket with water from a nearby well, saying that he would come in the evening to inspect their work. After ...read more

    Never Give Up, Never Surrender Series

    Paul shows how to return and keep moving—admitting we haven’t arrived, forgetting what holds us, and pressing on toward Christ (Philippians 3:12–16). The direction is the point: let go of past wins and wounds, lean forward, and run because Christ already holds you.

    Last week, we kicked off our series "Back At It," and we talked about how Jesus meets us where we are, even when we've drifted back to our old ways. We looked at the story of Jesus cooking breakfast for His disciples on the shore, calling them back to their true purpose. Today, ...read more

    The Unlocking Of The Heart: When Divine Light Meets Our Inner Vault

    Contributed by Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr. on Oct 13, 2025
     | 125 views

    This sermon explores 2 Corinthians 4:6, showing how God’s light enters our hidden places—not to shame, but to heal, restore, and transform. Learn practical steps for moving from darkness to wholeness through the grace of Christ.

    Grace and peace to you, my brothers and sisters. There is a phrase we hear often, a poetic and hopeful idea: "light over darkness." It sounds beautiful, it sounds victorious, until that very light meets the places we all keep locked away. The human heart, in its quiet complexity, can ...read more

    Nehemiah’s strong faith in God prompts him to take the steps needed to make the Jerusalem re-building project a reality. This sermon explores the significance of faith when facing a difficult mission.

    How strong is your faith? Is it firm enough to resist hardship? Is it robust enough to overcome fear? Will it stand up to the tests of doubt? Last week, we saw that Nehemiah was a man of great faith: the cupbearer to Artaxerxes, the King of Persia, he was devastated by the news that Jerusalem ...read more

    Ultimately we’re called to service because we’re seeking to follow the steps of our saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many

    Paul, in writing to the Ephesians talks about being “near and far.” Notice that Jesus has brought us all into relationship with one another through faith. What are the steps to being “brought near”?

    What we do when God has us in a waiting period is very important to our outcome. Nehemiah teaches those steps we need to take through his own actions.

    Nehemiah 2 The bible tells us that Nehemiah began praying in the month of Chislev (5th month of the Persian royal calendar.) Chapter 2 begins in the 9th month, which is called Nisan.

    Mothers Are Special

    Why did Moses take the position that he did in choosing to suffer with God’s people rather than being identified with his step parents? It had to be through the influence of his mother.

    Mothers Are Special ILL. Erma Bombeck wrote a column telling of God in the act of creating mothers. She wrote that on the day God created mothers He had already worked long overtime. And an angel said to Him, "Lord, you sure are spending a lot of time on this one." The Lord turned & said, ...read more
