    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jul 28, 2025

     | 347 views

    There are all kinds of races in life—career races, academic races, even the race to keep up with trends. But there is one race that surpasses them all—a race with eternal stakes. It’s the race of faith.

    Go! And Press On Toward the Prize - Philippians 3:14 Opening Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your living Word. As we gather in Your presence today, ignite in our hearts a holy desire to press on in faith, to pursue the prize that is found in Christ alone. May our ears be open, our hearts ...read more

    How do you view situations, and misgivings & how do you view salvation? This message prompts us to look beyond the dullness that others see as junk which could become someone else's treasure. May we realize that hidden treasure must be sought after to discover its wealth and potential.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Matthew 13:44) (44) "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth ...read more

    At times it’s the kind of person that we say, “Oh, my goodness we’ve got to get a gift because they gave me a gift. And I hope this is about the same cost.” Kind of a tit for a tat. And so when we think of God, we think of grace and we say, “There’s no wa

    Opening illustration: Play the Jesus Gift video Introduction: Long before we took our first breath, our Creator showed Himself to be a great giver of everything a man or woman could ask for.

    The closing message looks at the Reformation along with the incompleteness and deadness. The Reformation was wrought with many problems that stunted the movement. That is considered, and we finish with a look at the promise given to Abraham.

    20. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 4 of 4 This interesting Parable has been examined in regards to meaning, to its matching church, and to Church History as can be done for all these Parables of the Kingdom.

    Sermon # 47 - The Chosen Few Series

     | 225 views

    Though a majority followed Jesus, there were only a chosen few who in total obedience fulfilled the Great Commission. All through the bible God worked mighty wonders through a few faithful men and women. The question is, “Are we part of God’s chosen few?”

    For our meditation today we will look at Luke 14:25, “Now a great number of people went with him.” (BBE) There was a multitude of people who followed Jesus while He was here on earth. Though these people were from various vocations, they set them aside, to follow Jesus as He travelled and preached ...read more

    The intensity of God’s love is immense, that love which GAVE heaven’s glorious Son. Then that love provided the means where sinners can be MADE into the children of God. Are you prepared for rejection for Christ, for the world hates Christ’s own?
