    A great "back to school" message for youth. You ever take a trip without figuring out how much gas it’s going to take you? Of course not. Then why don’t we count the cost for serving God?

    Counting the Cost Luke 14:27-30 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the ...read more

    God gives each of us a promise for our lives, but life has a way of taking us through pit experiences just as in Joseph’s life, however we must never take our eyes off the promise and the reward of the palace!

    THE FACTS OF LIFE Text: Genesis 50:20 / Romans 8:28 INTRODUCTION TEXT: Genesis 50:20 And as for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present results to preserve many people alive.

    They say it takes a village to raise a child but I now know it takes a church to send a mission team to that village for that child. There are many unseen acts of self sacrifice that have been carried out by so many of you that some of us will not learn

    Greedy For Good Times

     | 5,346 views

    Why are we rarely as thankful as we should be? Perhaps it is because we are so wrapped up with God’s blessings that we forget their source; we are not willing to take the time or expend the patience it takes to say, "Thank You, Lord."

    Greedy for Good Times (Deuteronomy 8:10-11, 17-18, Luke 17:11-19) 1. Many of us have families spread throughout the nation. It is hard to get together, even for the holidays. 2. The day before Thanksgiving an elderly man in Phoenix called his son in New York and said to him, "I hate to ruin ...read more

    Third in a four-part series from Ruth. Ruth in faith requests that Boaz take her as his wife. She models for us the sort of risks God will ask us to take if we press out in faith, knowing His character.

    How good looking are your feet? Are they feet that others would take pictures of and put out there for all to see? In today’s message, I’d like to share about the message God has given for us to take out to the world.

    Here Is A Trustworthy Saying

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,877 views

    As pastors we know that proof texting is dangerous. It is even more dangerous to take two fragments of a "Trustworthy Saying" that spans three verses and use them to support a doctrine. With that in mind lets take a look at 2 Timothy 2:11-13.

    (This is a hybrid between a sermon manuscript and a sermon outline. I hope you can follow it and flesh it out in your own words as the Lord leads you.) Please open your Bibles to 2 Timothy 2:1-13 which we will read in a few minutes. 1st and 2nd Timothy and Titus are letters written to specific ...read more

    How did God get a self-sufficient, highly educated pagan and atheist to change his life around? And what do we need to know and do to take part in this miracle of conversion that takes place with men like Phil Robertson?

    OPEN: ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP4r4sXmqmo] - from "time marks" 4:48 to 8:45. We opened the sermon with this video cut from a CBN TV interview with Phil and Kay Robertson.

    The Government Upon His Shoulders Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Dec 14, 2015
     | 9,745 views

    The weight and the heaviness of the world due to the damage of sin has been transferred upon his shoulders. Instead of us taking and carrying the heavy burden of the world upon our weak and painful shoulders, Christ will take the load off our backs.

    Please stand with me as we read together from Isaiah 9:6-7 (NIV) 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the greatness of his ...read more

     | 5,932 views

    Saints we should not be looking for the Rapture as our get out of jail free card. Bible scholars cannot even agree as to when it takes place only that it will take place. For that reason we must be ready to meet the Lord every day.

    Message: This week I noticed a lot of articles and videos were being made about a series of events coming this September. While no one event stood out more so than another, when put together there did seem to be a theme. In September of this year there will be big decisions made by several world ...read more

    Friend, there’s more than one kind of profanity. Not all profanity takes place at the construction site or a bar. A lot of profanity takes place inside the church house. I want to tell you what kind of profanity it is.

    Happy Father’s Day to you all. You have to have some “dad jokes on Father's Day,” right? When does a joke become a “dad joke”? When it becomes apparent.
