    -there is no computer; There is nothing on this earth that can compare with what God has done in the mind of humankind.

    23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. 24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you. 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you. 1.Someone has ...read more

    Is our conversation consumed by self or trivialities? Let’s learn to talk about Jesus. Let’s look at the example of John whose focus was not self, but telling about the Light, in John 1:6-28.

    Shine Brightly For Christ In The New Year

     | 2,966 views

    You see faith in Christ is the beginning of a journey of growth and development. Growth and development is not automatic. Growth and development are brought about by God’s power working in us both the desire and the ability to fulfil His purpose in our lives.

    Sermon: Shine Brightly for Christ In the New Year Philippians 2:12-16 “Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. 13 For God is ...read more

    Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

     | 7,710 views

    John the Baptist helps us get ready for Advent. He points us to baptism, repentance, and the Mighty One, Jesus Christ. This sermon looks at the text and then shifts into an application with two illustrations.

    To borrow the words of Meredith Wilson: “It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go.” Thanksgiving is done and the leftovers are consumed. Black Friday is over. Cyber Monday and Cyber week are finished. This week, we had our first real taste of winter and Minnesota weather ...read more

    John’s Ministry Begins Series

    John the Baptist steps out on the stage of history. He is a New Testament personality, but I classify him as an Old Testament prophet, because of his character and his message.

    -AD 7-8- Judean Wilderness John’s Ministry Begins (Malachi 3:1) Matthew 3:1, Mark 1:1-4, Luke 3:1-2, John 1:19-28 God planned the ministry of John the Baptist. We know this because we find him in prophecy. Malachi 3:1 says of him, “See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before ...read more

    Today, we begin a new series called “Less is Greater than More with God.” And the idea for this series came out of the last one.

    Introduction: Today, we begin a new series called “Less is Greater than More with God.” And the idea for this series came out of the last one. In week four (4), if you remember, I used John the Baptist as an example of needing to let go of how we think things ought to be and let God take control of ...read more

    Your Crossroads And God's Roadmap

    Contributed by Bright Adeyeye on Nov 22, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,272 views

    Just because a decisive path seems right doesn't mean it's the right one. But that does not mean it is wrong either. When at a crossroad, we must, therefore, ask and trust God to show us which way to go.

    YOUR CROSSROADS AND GOD'S ROADMAP "This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’ Jeremiah 6:16. Just because a ...read more

    "christ Is Coming!" The Call Of John The Baptist Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jan 3, 2019
     | 5,601 views

    Is your Christmas preparation festive or frantic? What if you could narrow down preparation for Christmas to one, single thing? What is it? John the Baptist reminded the people of his day and us of the one thing necessary to be ready for Christ's coming!

    “Deck the halls with boughs of holly. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. 'Tis the season to be jolly. Fa-la-la-la-la…” Hold on! Tis the season to be JOLLY? You might slightly disagree with that when you look at your December calendar or attempt to do some shopping. It seems more like, ‘tis the ...read more

    The Paradox Of Pursuing Knowledge About God And Experiencing Him

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 8, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,303 views

    The danger of intellectual pursuit without an intimate experiential knowledge of God is that the heart can be come cold and brittle like a stone, making knowledge an idol.

    I remember as a young Born-Again Christian, just starting my spiritual journey that I would walk in and through the presence of God effortlessly. I lived and breathed the supernatural. Signs and Wonders were everywhere! The anointing was powerful! Then I went to Bible School and was told those ...read more

    God's Word helps us walk the path of righteousness.

    Last time, we focused on the first phrase of verse 16, “All Scripture is God-breathed,” as we thought about how the Bible is inspired. We talked about how our Bible came to us as they are today and how the early church determined which writings were to be considered inspired by God and ...read more

    God Is In The Detours Too

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 9, 2015
     | 9,190 views

    Life is full of surprises. With observation, we see that the Holy Spirit is as much in the detours as He is in the plans we carefully map out. Two passages in the New Testament & one in the Old demonstrate the truth of this insight.

    GOD IS IN THE DETOURS TOO Prov. 3:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: DECISIONS 1. Harry and Kitty are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. 2. Max and Betty said, “You must let us in on your secret - how have you managed to stay married for so long?" 3. Harry turns to Kitty and asks, "OK for ...read more

    This sermon is about being surprised by tbd unexpected things much like Jesus seems to have surprised John the Baptist.

    IS THIS A CURVE BALL? Text: Matthew 11:2-11 I read about someone’s recollection of a performance that he (Tom Wright) had been rehearsing for on stage at an earlier time in his life. He mentions that all had been going according to plan most of the time. “We had all rehearsed ...read more
