    God had given his people explicit instructions as to how to conduct themselves. First God’s people were to love him and second they were to love others. The prophet Micah points out that sacrifice is pointless unless it is supported with obedience.

    “What God Desires” Part 2: Micah 6:8 “Loving-kindness” This week we continue our three week series on “What God Desires.” Last week we introduced ourselves to the prophet Micah and in particular the lawsuit God filed against his people for their breaking of their covenant agreement. Essentially ...read more

    Some of us find ourselves in positions that are seperated from God and we ask two questions 1. How did I get here? and 2. What should I do now?

    What Should I Do Now? How did I get here? Scripture Reference: Jonah 1:1-5 (KJV) 1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto ...read more

     | 11,793 views

    Sometimes we lose heart when the circumstances seems too great and vast, but we need to see and trust from God’s perspective and learn to rely on His bigger than life view of the situation.

    When the Mountain Looks Too Big Prairie Baptist Church – 1/10/10 A.M. Service Text: John 6:1-14 Key verse: John 6:13 - Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

     | 6,177 views

    [John] said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ’We have Abraham as our father.’ F

    Last week we welcomed back to the Christmas stage that most unlikely of Yuletide figures - the gaunt and rather unjolly figure of John the Baptist. He emerges from the background shadows of the Nativity scene each year at this time, and last week I focused on just what an unexpected and unwanted ...read more

    Acceptance And Rejection

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 25, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,615 views

    We know what both acceptance and rejection feel like. What must God feel at our rejection of Him? In Jesus He turns around our rejection into His acceptance of us. We can accept our acceptance.

    “He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him.” Do you have experience with both acceptance and rejection? I imagine you do. No one is so fortunate as to have had everything he wants, and so we have all experienced rejection. And no one is so hard-up that she has been ...read more

     | 9,430 views

    If you think your blessing is based on your goodness, you discredit the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Genesis 22:18 “In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed...” Introduction: I have seen Christians struggling to be blessed, or trying to earn the blessing of God to him, through good works, or by spending much of his/her time in the ministry. In today’s ...read more

    A sermon for Epiphany.

    Matthew 2:1-12 “Nothing Is Ever The Same” What images come to your mind when you think of the Magi in Matthew’s Gospel? Having sat through enough Christmas plays, it may be hard for some of us to banish the image of children wearing bathrobes and Burger King crowns, trying to ...read more

    A Simple, Difficult And Necessary Question; A Christmas Reflection

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 26, 2012
     | 2,753 views

    It’s Spiritually necessary for us to contemplate our journey with God and ask one simple question with huge implications. “Have I sold out my life for Jesus?”

    I enjoy a Christmas Eve service. I find it ironic though that most of us perceive this service as being a quiet and reflective time. Of course Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’ birthday, so it’s great we have candles, but, don’t you find it kind of odd that we celebrate his ...read more
