    Why Can Spiritual Stuff Be So Scary? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 1, 2019
     | 2,667 views

    Mary was "greatly troubled" by the appearance of the angel. Many are in a similar spot - "greatly troubled" by all things spiritual. What can help them take a step forward?

    “GREATLY TROUBLED”: Spiritual stuff can be scary. - Luke 1:29. - An angel shows up to speak to Mary. On the one hand, the angel is light and not wielding a sword, so there is a sense in which he shouldn’t be scary. But, of course, we don’t see angelic beings very often and I’m sure his presence ...read more

    The Christian And Judgment Series

     | 3,038 views

    We need to take a biblical approach to this difficult subject of judging. The world says, "Don't judge." What does God say? We need to be very careful.

    The Christian and Judgment Matthew 7:1-6 This is perhaps one of the most important exhortations, found anywhere in the Bible, given to a Christian. This does not do away with judgment nor condemn it entirely. It merely says that if we judge honestly and according to God’s word, we are safe, but ...read more

    Changed

    This message discusses the change that takes place in a Christian's life once they accept Christ as their personal Savior. We transition from being a part of this world to be living here but not belonging here.

    Changed Scriptures: John 3:3; 18:36; Romans 6:1-11; Colossians 3:1-4 The title of my message this morning is “Changed.” The word change is defined as “to become or make different.” When used in the past tense it means to “have become or been made different.” Before I get into the heart of this ...read more

    Our Father Series

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Jun 14, 2019
     | 7,004 views

    Fathers today are seen as little more than another child for the wife to take of. We have lowered the expectation of dads to an all time low. But dads, fathers are so very needed.

    INTRODUCTION: How important are a father’s words of wisdom? How valuable is a father's presence in the lives of his children? How necessary is a father's influence as compared to his income or him providing for his family? How many of you remember the old song “Cat’s in the cradle”? ...read more

    Daniel, a normal believer, was transformed into a person of such insight and faith, that he was promoted to serve 5 kings from three different conquering nations. What steps did he take that caused such a transformation?

    THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MAN/WOMAN OF GOD Dan. 1:3-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: FREE HAIRCUTS 1. One day a Barber cut a minister’s hair.

    Don’t be anxious. Instead, look to the birds and flowers; look to your Heavenly Father; and look only at today. In a word: have FAITH! Trust the Lord to take care of you today and tomorrow.

    Glory To God In The Highest!

    It was just like any old night for the shepherds. They were out in their fields, literally “taking care of their business.” It was night and all of a sudden the sky lit up. The sky lit up with the glory of the Lord.

    Luke 2:8 And in the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields, and keeping watch over their flock by night. The region Luke mentions in verse eight is the region of Bethlehem. Bethlehem, Bethlehem was about six miles directly south of the city of Jerusalem. It's just a ...read more

    As with any gift, it is easy to take church membership for granted. In order to avoid that, we must understand the gift and how we came to get it so that we will treat it like the gift that it is.

    Introduction: How many of you have ever been a tourist before? You know, you travel to a new place intent on seeing all the wonderful "new to you" sites.

    Laborers In The Vineyard

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2014
     | 6,848 views

    The parable of the vineyard in Matthew 20 is almost mind boggling in scope and what can be extracted from it. In this sermon we are taking a look at the relationship between the owner and the workers and becoming an employee and the "doing".

    Now we need to remember that we can never take a scripture out of context. Just before this the Rich Young Ruler asks Jesus in Matthew 19:16b (NASB) “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” “Do” This was an underlying foundation in the mind of ...read more
