    This sermon explores the universal experience of temptation, emphasizing its role in testing faith and refining character, and the power of God's Word to overcome it.

    Good morning, we gather here today, nestled in the warm embrace of fellowship and faith, to engage with a topic that touches us all – temptation. This is not a subject reserved for the few or the fallen; it is a universal experience, an inevitable encounter on the road of life. Yet, it is not a ...read more

    An Unwilling Heart Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 28, 2016
     | 8,562 views

    A crisis is a test. It reveals our attitude towards God and faith in Him. What is the posture of your heart?

    Saul showed an unwillingness to trust God. This sounds odd at first. Why would anyone not trust God? • If we think of our own experience, then we can understand. It could be pride (we think we know best), freedom (I like to do what I like), pleasure (I want some fun), or fear (sacrifices ...read more

    It does not take long for Daniel’s faith to be tested in Babylon, that test deals with the area of worldliness, the test to just fit in.

    Standing strong in the midst of Worldliness Dan 1:5-8 One the final night of Jesus’ life, Jesus prayed while he walked on the way to the Garden of Gethsemane the words found in John 17. His heart heavy with the events that he knew were coming, He paused to pray for us. Verse 20 makes it clear ...read more

    Long ago C. H. Spurgeon said that the study of God would improve, humble, and expand the mind - a thesis we will test with an examination of 1 Tim 6:13-16.

    “Who Alone Is Immortal” What better way to begin my sermon than by reading from a really good one! Here is a bit of one delivered on Jan. 7, 1855: “It has been said by someone that ‘the proper study of mankind is man.’. . . but I believe it is equally true that the proper study of God’s elect is ...read more

    We are over our lifetime changed into His image. That’s what God wants for us, and that’s what we come together weekly to pray for.

    Third Sunday in Advent 2023 (sermon 2) Many years ago I had a theology professor who told me that the secret to successfully teaching theology is found in this letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians: “Test everything.” And that’s actually good advice. First, if you are a manager–and all teachers ...read more

    Abraham’s test of faith teaches us that God provides faith and something to put our faith in -- his sinless Substitute

    ... Test Me now with this, says Jehovah of Hosts, to see if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you, and pour out a blessing for you, until there is not enough room. God said it, so I’ll say it. God is willing to take up the challenge. Tithing is no

    Will You Wait On God? Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 22, 2012
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,668 views

    Faith is tested when we must wait and continue to trust God even when the answer seems far away, or when our problems seem too great. Abraham's lack of an heir, and God's promise to work a miracle for Abraham provide a powerful example for us of waiting

    Sermon Notes April 22, 2012 FBCam Will You Wait on God? Genesis 17 We often equate FAITH with DECISIONS. Sometimes FAITH is about WAITING. Romans 4:9-12 describes Abraham as the “Father of our Faith.” When we consider Abraham’s faith, we normally consider his faith in ...read more

    God wants to use our tests to provide a testimony.

    It seems like everywhere you look today, there is someone who is predicting that troubled times are ahead. I've heard several who have claimed that our nation today is more divided than it has been since the days before the civil war. I'm not completely persuaded about that, but I do think our ...read more
