    based on 14 ratings
     | 17,711 views

    Many things will discourage you in this life. When you see the world growing in power and wickedness, it will discourage you. When it seems that nothing is the same as before, it has the potential to discourage you. You would think that because of the wic

    Text: Isaiah 41:10-13 (KJV) 10Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: ...read more

    The Freedom Of Maturity Series

     | 5,094 views

    This message encourages people to grow up and think for themselves. In the history of redemption, God’s people were once children in His eyes. Now, since Christ has redeemed us, we are adult sons, free from the guardianship of the law.

    The Freedom of Maturity (Galatians 4:1-11) Marian Obeda, from London, Ontario, talks about a time when her husband, a pastor, was asked to officiate at a lot of weddings one particular season. During that time, they were also preparing for a son’s birthday party. When Marian asked him whom he ...read more

    Where Is The Power In Abiding In The Vine?

     | 5,997 views

    When God stops you from doing something that you think is achieving, he is only to prepare you for something bigger, so take heart: it is not about you, it is about God, and what he wants; and fortunately he aligns our desires with his.

    Word Count: 1876, Acts 8:26-40 Psalm 22:24-30 1 John 4:7-21 John 15:1-8 Summary: When God stops you from doing something that you think is achieving, he is only to prepare you for something bigger, so take heart: it is not about you, it is about God, and what he wants; and fortunately he aligns ...read more

    Stop Enduring Life And Start Enjoying It Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 25,120 views

    In life trouble is inevitable, but misery is optional. Think about that. You have a choice about whether you are going to be miserable about the problems in your life, and the way you deal with it determines whether you are miserable or not.

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles, please, to Romans 12. I’m preaching through the book of Romans verse after verse and today we’re going to talk about, “Stop enduring life and start enjoying it.” I heard about a fellow who didn’t get along very well with his wife. In ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,681 views

    When a five times divorcee who now has a live in boyfriend meets Jesus, what do you think will happen? John’s gospel reveals that honest hearts, even those laden with sin, can still hear His call.

    Beyond all Hope? 1 Tim. 1:12-16 records Paul’s confession and testimony of God’s grace in his life. Paul basically says, "If Jesus can save me, he can save anyone!" Have you ever known someone who was beyond help? Here in John 4 Jesus meets a woman whose life is a string of broken ...read more

    William Gladstone said, "Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race." Think about it; if everyone just looked out for #1 then no one would be satisfied; including #1. I can gain a lot by being selfish...except what's truly important.

    GOD IS UNSELFISH William Gladstone said, "Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race." If you think about that there's much truth in it.

    . So, today, I thought we would spend some time in the Word preparing for those messages by looking at Biblical views of our bodies. There are two passages that I think directly speak to us and give us a Biblical view of our bodies.

    Holy Wind Bags and the Sacred Sanctuary Genesis 2:4-7 & 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 INTRODUCTION… What your body does in a 24 hour period (http://www.bible.org/illus.php?topic_id=177) * your heart beats 103689 times * your blood travels 168,000,000 miles * you breathe 23040 times * you inhale 438 ...read more

    based on 35 ratings
     | 5,810 views

    Some fear change, and others think it never really happens. But either of those approaches writes off what God can do. Embrace change, know who you are, and there will be joy.

    Some of you look like you just woke up, so maybe I need to tell you that we have started another new year! We have crossed over into a new year. Maybe you marked it with prayer at the midnight hour, or a quick kiss with someone you love, or – well, we’ll not get into some of the less-than-Baptist ...read more

    Joseph did not yield to this temptation. If we could learn to have the “mind of Joseph,” (Which was the Mind of Christ) it would give us the right thinking so that we, too, could resist temptation...

    Primary Text: (Gen 39:7 KJV) And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

    We often fall into despair when we think of Jesus as only a model to learn from. When temptation comes, it is Jesus who is victorious and to overcome temptation we must defer to Him.

    Hi, thank you for looking at this sermon. I hope it helps. Please do not say the sermon did not help you just because you did not like the style or could not use the entire message for your own needs.

    This message is about how we need to be obedient to God in the present if we are going to have success in the future. It looks at why we obey and why this is often more difficult than we think.

    A while back, my oldest girl Clarissa was in her play room and she had overturned a box of wooden blocks and it made to worse mess you could imagine.
