Kingdom Keys - Luke Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 12, 2024

Joy comes to us when we surrender our will, for the will and power of our Father, His Son and The Holy Spirit

So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

A Perfect Heart – Part 2 Series

Contributed by Kiruba Stephen on Jan 31, 2022

We continue to learn about how to be loyal to the Lord one hundred percent.

As the Lord says, if you want to live upright before me and walk with a perfect heart, then you have to look at yourself. Look at your heart and say, “Lord, take away everything that is not perfect, take away everything that is displeasing in Your sight and Lord remove all the high places from my ...read more

One Bride For Seven Brothers

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 2, 2022

This story is very important because in it Jesus confronted the great error that there will be marriage in Heaven and, by extension, that angels could ever have sex with humans. These two things are widely held even today.

ONE BRIDE FOR SEVEN BROTHERS Luke 20:27-40 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE GARLIC REMEDY 1. Soon after Bernard reached his 110th birthday, a Houston Chronicle reporter visited him looking for a story. "So, Bernard," asked the reporter, "to what do you think you owe your ...read more

No More Excuses

Contributed by Ethel Lamazon on Feb 4, 2022

When God is getting ready to move you to another level, He also wants to remove all hindrances, the setbacks all the excuses that keeps you bound

John 5 vs 6-8 No more excuses 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” 7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am ...read more

Obedience Plus Passion Equals…strike The Ground.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 6, 2022

We have a tendency to want Joy without sacrifice. We won't character without suffering. We won't success without failure. We won't gain without pain. We want a testimony without a test. We want it all, without going all in. However it does not work that way, and you know it.

Obedience Plus Passion Equals…Strike the Ground. 2 Kings 13:14-19AMP We have a tendency to want Joy without sacrifice. We won't character without suffering. We won't success without failure. We won't gain without pain. We want a testimony without a test. We want it all, without going ...read more

Real Love- Part 1 Series

Contributed by Kiruba Stephen on Feb 16, 2022

In part 1 of the message entitled Real Love, we explore the definition of God's love versus the world’s love.

Worldly love is selfish and politically correct but not good necessarily. It is also anti-Christian. Worldly love has no love or room for God. You see that all the time. You see that on the streets. You see that at festivals. You see that at gatherings of families. You see that at parties. You see ...read more

Scripture: Matthew 10:37

Living With(Out) Regret Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 24, 2022

We all have regrets, things we've done or have had done to us in the past. Paul describes two ways of dealing with these regrets- worldly and godly. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell on living without regret.

Our current series is called “What Keeps You Up At Night?” We’ve explored anger/bitterness, concern for family, and today I want to talk about regret. It’s the idea of dealing with our mistakes/sins, whether real or perceived from our past. Personally, the concept takes me back to my ...read more

Real Love- Part 2 Series

Contributed by Kiruba Stephen on Feb 25, 2022

Imagine, if the Lord’s condition for coming down and dying for our souls and doing anything for us was based on whether we’ll be thankful or not.

Imagine, those ten that were healed of leprosy. If the Lord would have stopped, having the foreknowledge that only one would come back and nine would not give him thanks, He had the choice to say, “I won’t do this for them.” But did the Lord do that? No! He did not. He loved freely. Freely we have ...read more

Chronos: James #7 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Feb 28, 2022

Wise in the world competes with wisdom of the Lord and our call to be peacemakers.

A few weeks ago, we started a year-long journey chronological study of the New Testament today. Hence the reason we are calling this message series Chronos. It's a word that means “time.” We will be journeying through time back to the start of the early church. We will be doing this by walking ...read more

Timothy (Paul's Disciple) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 3, 2022

This young man was so closely associated with the Apostle Paul that they shared his thoughts and work. However, we must assume the more profound knowledge of him conveyed by the Acts and Epistles and by the letters of counsel addressed by St. Paul to him personally.

Timothy Acts 16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman… ________________________________________ This young man was so closely associated with the Apostle Paul that they shared his thoughts and work.

David’s 911 Call For Help! (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 4, 2022

We want to look again at the imprecatory prayer of David in Psalm 35. Anytime a preacher preaches about an imprecatory prayer he has to be careful. He has to be careful because it would be easy to convey to people that we can use God to strike back at our enemies.

This is not what the Bible teaches. In fact, it teaches just the opposite. Look at Matthew 5:44, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” I do not know anything in a ...read more

Loneliness (Part 3) Series

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jan 12, 2022

In this sermon, we'll learn about six causes of loneliness and how Jesus cares for those who suffer physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Only His love can fill the void in our hearts.

Illustration: Robert, a lonely grandfather, meets 80-year-old Martha at a nursing home. Robert likes her. One night he came to Martha's room and proposed to her. When he woke up in the morning, he forgot whether Martha said "yes" or "no" when asked to marry him. Embarrassed, ...read more

Holding On To My Faith Part 1 Series

Contributed by Gregory Newhouse on Jan 13, 2022

We cannot depend on our good works to save us. We cannot depend on anything external to save our souls. Salvation is produced solely by faith.

Intro: These last few verses of chapter four teach us the truth that we cannot depend on keeping the Law to save us. We cannot depend on our good works to save us. We cannot depend on anything external to save our souls. Paul's point here, as it has been throughout this chapter is that ...read more
