    Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide! Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 8, 2022
     | 4,375 views

    Israel acted as if God did not see their heart and their attitude. God saw all the meeting and plans with Egypt. God saw the attitude towards His word. How strange that so many people think that they can hide from God.

    Sermon: Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Scripture: Isaiah 30:1-14 NLT “What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,” says the Lord. “You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins. 2 For without consulting me, you have gone down to ...read more

    Help Me God, I'm Angry Series

     | 2,387 views

    Anyone can be angry. The old can become angry as well as the young. The rich and the poor - all people have the capability to become angry. If I were to ask, of all the human emotions you're capable of experiencing, with which one does it seem to be the most difficult for you to cope?

    Alba 8-12-13 (Revised 9-25-2022) HELP ME GOD, I'M ANGRY In his autobiography, “Number 1”, Billy Martin told about hunting in Texas with Mickey Mantle. Mickey had a friend who would let them hunt on his ranch. When they reached the ranch, Mickey told Billy to wait in the car while he checked ...read more

    Jeremiah Is The Prepared Prophet – Youth To God’s Man Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022
     | 2,206 views

    The call of Jeremiah has challenges for us and we look at them. Abortion and the unborn are examined from God's perspective. How many sit down and laboriously draft and redraft some message straining to “polish” some sermon. Just speak what God has given!

    JEREMIAH IS THE PREPARED PROPHET – YOUTH TO GOD’S MAN {{Jeremiah 1:1-3 “The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his ...read more

    See Jesus Defeat The Devil

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 7, 2022
     | 2,265 views

    Because Christ fought the battle against Satan as one of us, he won that battle for all of us. Jesus is our perfect substitute. Even as the devil rages against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion, Jesus, has already won the victory over him.

    David versus Goliath. Thousands of years after their brief battle it is still used to describe conflicts. You have probably heard the comparison several times in recent days following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Clearly Russia is Goliath and Ukraine David. But don’t we also regularly hear the ...read more

     | 81 views

    True obedience flows from joyful faith; serving God with gladness transforms ordinary tasks into sacred acts and reveals His love to the world.

    Some mornings arrive like a hymn. Sunlight spills across the kitchen table, a mug warms your hands, and hope hums beneath the chores and headlines. Other mornings weigh heavy. The to-do list looms, the inbox aches, and the heart feels thin as paper. In both kinds of mornings, God extends the same ...read more

     | 5,944 views

    Jesus spent His life doing many good deeds worthy of admiration and praise. But He was in great sorrow in Gethsemane, because of a "cup" that He would have to take. In drinking from this cup, HE WENT A LITTLE FURTHER.

    INTRO Jesus Christ spent His life doing many good things. The Holy Bible records a number of things that He did during His time on Earth: He brought hope to the poor, healed the sick, made the blind to see and freed the slaves. Certainly all these accomplishments were worthy of great praise ...read more
