    Seek The Lord

    Contributed by James Dina on Jul 26, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,028 views

    Seeking the Lord is the conscious fixing of our mind’s attention and our heart’s affection on God. He is our best friend when we are at our best, and he is our only friend when we are at our worst. Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence on a regular basis.

    SEEK THE LORD! “I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause” (Job 5:8) It is the honor and privilege of every Christian to know God and to walk with Him on a daily basis. He is the one true and glorious God who has created ...read more

    Surrendering Credentials To Christ

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,884 views

    If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

    Philippians 3:4-14 Surrendering Credentials to Christ Any top-blockers here? Any type-A personalities? Any hard chargers who consistently rank in the top percentile? The military is basically an up-or-out system, so it attracts into career service those who are driven to succeed. Many of you are ...read more

    Law Enforcement: To Protect And To Serve

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 14, 2016
     | 14,848 views

    There is a wind of confrontation blowing between law enforcement and the public in our society. There are some bad police officers, but a majority of them are good and out to protect us. Today, we invite them to worship with us and to pray for them.

    TO SERVE AND TO PROTECT Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring ...read more

    In a world like ours with everything that is going on in world events and the Christmas season, peace is a major concern, isn’t it? The problem is everyone wants peace but no one has a clear answer on how to get it.

    Finding Peace in a Season of Stress Philippians 4:1-9 Lucinda Norman writes of her experience Christmas shopping at the mall. People had been pushing, elbowing and cutting in front of her all day. During a 10 minute extra 10% off special, one woman grabbed a lace table cloth from her hands, looked ...read more

    Don’t Let Your Memories Be Bigger Than Your Dreams

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 2, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,563 views

    Many Christians don’t set goals because they’re content with where they are, feel they can’t get any better, or feel their best days are behind them. It's God's will that we have dreams!

    DON’T LET YOUR MEMORIES BECOME BIGGER THAN YOUR DREAMS INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A woman walked into her bathroom at home. As she did, she saw her husband weighing himself on the bathroom scales, sucking in his stomach. 2. The woman thought to herself, "He thinks that he will weigh less ...read more

     | 4,790 views

    In the last 3 visions, we see God's judgement against sinners, Israel and the world. God is determined to judge sin as a just and righteous God. He is equally determined to show mercy by providing a Saviour in the coming of the Messiah, the priest and king, so that sinners can be saved.

    We’ve come to the last of the 8 visions that Zechariah saw in one night. • God gave him these visions while he was ministering to the people, encouraging them at the early stage of the rebuilding of God’s house. • The last 3 visions shared the same theme - God’s judgement on sin.

    This promise was made to the Jewish nation when they were reeling from judgment and the consequences of their own actions. Have you ever had to face the consequences of your own actions? Wouldn't it be nice if, at that time, you got handed a mulligan?

    God Gives a Mulligans PPT 1 Title First I want to discuss when we give a mulligan. For those who don't know let me explain mulligans. Mulligans are do-overs for bad shots in golf.
