    In a time of crisis Daniel spent time in prayer and fasting and God met his need in a theophany reassuring him of God’s provision for his people unto the end of the age.

    DANIEL 10 - A VISION OF HEAVENLY THINGS The final three chapters of Daniel are the account of God’s last word to his servant. Chapter 10 gives us the circumstances by which the vision came to Daniel. This final encounter was a traumatic experience for the servant of Jehovah. If you read the ...read more

    Trust Christ with your life, and let Him get you ready for that nice, new home He is building for you right now.

    Andy Stanley, in his book, How Good Is Good Enough, tells the story of a Sunday school teacher who wanted to explain to the 6-year-olds in his class what someone had to do in order to go to heaven. However, he wanted to know what the kids already knew about the subject, so he asked a few ...read more

    The call of worship on our lives requires sacrifice. Like Joshua, we can build an altar. Fifth in series of messages on Joshua

    “What it really takes to worship” Joshua Ch. 8 In Joshua Ch. 7 God gave Joshua a mission. The mission was to remove sin and disobedience from within the camp. He brought everyone forward tribe by tribe, family by family, until he discovered the cheat. Achan was found to be the culprit. He ...read more

    If we come not just asking, but really seeking, we will receive God’s best. We can be encouraged to pray because God wants us to, and He desires to give us much more than the request that started the conversation.

    Prayer Changes Things A Sermon on Matthew 7:7-11 The story is told of a young boy who wanted $100 very badly. He prayed for a long time, but nothing happened. Undaunted by the lack of response, he wrote a letter to God presenting his request once again. When the postal authorities received the ...read more

    Look at the choices of three men with authority, who have the privilege of meeting Jesus face-to-face in His last week on earth. Learn from their mistakes, and take responsibility for our choices in life.

    Mark 14:55-65, 15:1-15 Take Responsibility for Your Life God bless us with the freedom of choice. • We have in our hands the power of choosing what we want in life. Every choice has a consequence. By not choosing, that itself is a choice. • By not choosing, we are allowing life to go on ...read more

    When Jesus talks about us denying ourselves, taking up a cross & following Him – what does He mean? What does the Bible teach about "cross-bearing?"

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) This morning I want us to look at a passage of Scripture found in Mark 8:34-35. "Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples & said: ‘If anyone would come after ...read more

    Written in 2020, this message applies to all fear; but especially addresses fear of the Corona Virus. Fear is part of the human condition; but our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of our false securities.

    I’ve entitled our sermon for this morning, “Take Off Your Mask and Be Unafraid.” All of us want to feel as though we have a good handle on life and that nothing ever shakes us; but in reality, we are fearful creatures. So, what are some common fears we might see? Well, some people fear growing ...read more

    Take Hold Of Eternal Life

     | 7,508 views

    Jesus has just said, "No one can serve two masters; you cannot serve God and money" (Luke 16:13). Then Jesus goes on to share his parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31). Paul's words to Timothy (I Timothy 6:6-19) support Jesus' claim.

    “Take Hold of Eternal Life” Amos 6:1-7; I Timothy 6:6-19; Luke 16:19-31 Proper 21-C, September 25, 2016 All three of the Scripture lessons read in our worship service this morning could easily remind us of that old adage: “You can’t have your cake and eat it too!” ...read more

    Exhaustion: Finding Rest In Taking The Sabbath Seriously Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,385 views

    Running ourselves to death is nothing new to God, who created everything with a precaution in mind-or perhaps an antidote-to exhaustion: Sabbath Rest. Wouldn’t you like to emerge from a Sabbath day refreshed and ready to tackle the most important things o

    It is obviously a scheme of Satan to keep us running in circles until we’re exhausted and totally uninterested in discipleship. This scheme is nothing new to God, who created everything with a precaution in mind--or perhaps an antidote--to exhaustion: Sabbath Rest. God has never stopped desiring ...read more

    What does it mean to "take up" or "bear a cross? What does it mean when someone says, "I want to take up my cross and follow Jesus"?

    If you want to be heard by God, make sure God and not others are your audience, make sure that it is really you who is speaking, and make sure to forgive and to receive forgiveness.

    The morning worship service had reached an emotional climax during the pastor’s fervent prayer. He had carefully crafted it with fine liturgical phrases, hallowed by centuries of use. It was backed up by a throbbing organ, playing a hymn that gently drew worshipers back to thoughts of that amazing ...read more
