Sermon # 46 - Are You Running Away? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 29, 2023

Are you trying to run away from God ordained relationships because you are unable to handle them? Stop and get back to God and submit to His authority. The Lord can do wonders to restore relationships, and He will bring peace to our restless hearts.

If one were to describe this period of time, in which we are living, we can depict it as a time when people are constantly running away. We hear of families who are in distress, because the husband or wife chose to walk away from home leaving their spouse and children in a state of abandonment. ...read more

The Word Of God Is Not Bound

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 13, 2024

Paul was a prisoner, bound with a chain, but he told Timothy, "But God's Word is NOT bound!" Religions nor Govts can bind the Word; our unworthiness can't bind it, and it can't be stopped!

THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND 2 Tim. 2:1-5, 8-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. It was the 9th of July and the judge, a veteran, was in a good mood as he asked the prisoner, “What are you charged with?” 2.

Bring Me Another Vessel

Contributed by Samuel M on Sep 24, 2024

God's oil was overflowing, but her expectations or limitations stopped the flow of oil. She did not prepare for a great miracle by gathering many vessels. She prepared by gathering vessels based on her expectation (or limitation) just expecting a (small) miracle.

So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. And when you ...read more

Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jun 18, 2001

Someone who sits idly without a purpose is an easy target for temptation. We are easily drawn away when we don’t have a purpose we are reaching for. When we are reaching ahead, we have to stop and change directions in order to sin.

Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose The final step I want to focus on in overcoming sinful habits is your purpose. Each of our lives has been created by God for a purpose. As long as we are living outside of that purpose, there will be emptiness and a desire to crowd our lives with pleasures and ...read more

#3. Exercising Moral Purity Series

Contributed by Russell Brownworth on May 24, 2004

What’s a “near” autopsy? Well – it’s opening up the body before it stops breathing. This near-autopsy is on our culture in America…the way we live in the good ol’ USA. I want to look inside the body before it becomes a corpse.

Writing On The Wall

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 25, 2011

Overcoming The Enemy

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 18, 2012

Overcoming the enemy once does not mean he will stop his harassment of us. This is what he is, and what he does. So our posture toward him, both defensively and offensively, needs to become habitual and reflexive. We need to overcome our ignorance of the
