    FAMILY MATTERS Text: Col. 3:18-21 Introduction 1. Illustration: When a national random sample of 1,000 adults was asked about the morality of eight family-related behaviors, large majorities of the public claimed that five of those behaviors are acceptable either because they are "morally ...read more

    Building Bigger Barns

    The real fools are those who, being satisfied with their lives as they are, forget God, forget their neighbors, and forget their mortality.

    What is wrong with this picture? Imagine that you are in the audience that long-ago day in Judea, listening to Jesus preach. There are thousands in the crowd, but you got there early. In fact, you waited all night to get a good seat. Jesus’ reputation has grown all over Palestine, and people have ...read more

    Jesus told His disciples the parable of the workers in the vineyard; does this still hold value today?

    The First and the Last Matthew 20:1-16 For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. “About the third hour he went out and saw others standing ...read more

    Martha is well-to-do and highly respected within her community. She lives in a big house . She lived with her sister Mary and her brother Lazarus. They were a Jewish family who were friends and followers of Jesus

    Martha - the hostess Luke 10:38-42, John 11:1-44 Martha has received quite a lot of criticism over the years, for every woman is told not to be like Martha, and consequently they heave upon themselves the burden of guilt and condemnation when they are.

     | 19,650 views

    It is during this season of Advent that we focus on hope and that hope is centered on the Second Coming of Christ. Advent is not just about preparing for the coming of the Christ child. It is also about looking to the Second Coming of Jesus

    The Hope of Advent Ephesians 2:1-10 In the 19th century, there was a wave of enthusiasm for prophecies predicting the actual date for the Second Coming of Christ. One such prophecy was an Adventist leader name William Miller. After studying Daniel 8, Miller predicted that Christ would return on ...read more

    Upward, Inward, & Outward Vision

     | 5,187 views

    Isaiah saw three visions: an upward one, of God; an inward one, of himself; and an outward vision, of the needs of the lost people around him. If we hope to change the world then we need the same three visions.

    UPWARD, INWARD, & OUTWARD VISION Isa. 6:1-8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1.

     | 2,846 views

    What does God want to say to us through the life of Noah and the great flood? There are important lessons to learn and warnings to heed, lest we too miss out like the people did in Noah’s days.

    We read in Psalm 77:11-12, “I will remember your great deeds, LORD; I will recall the wonders you did in the past. I will think about all that you have done; I will meditate on all your mighty acts.” (GNB) There are many who are held in bondage to all sorts of fears. The fears that constrain them ...read more

    The Good News Of The Gospel-Pt.2-"saved By What?"

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Feb 16, 2021
     | 1,264 views

    Today, I want to explore the salvation that is ours by answering the question, “Saved by what?” As we consider the work of Christ, we need to consider not only His death but also His life. Both are needed for our redemption.

    Last week’s sermon, Pt.1, “Saved from what?” was hard to listen to. It was a 100% true, but it was a difficult topic to explore. There is nothing easy or attractive about hell and the doctrine of conscious, eternal punishment. But hopefully, the desperateness of the situation, the hopelessness and ...read more

    Reclaiming The Blueprint Series

    Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 24, 2024
     | 1,578 views

    Many believers feel that something vital is missing from today's church, yearning for the vibrancy seen in the early church of Acts. God is calling us back to that original blueprint, to be a church devoted to Him, to each other, and to the mission of spreading His hope and redemption.

    There is a growing sense among believers today that something essential is missing. We attend church services, participate in programs, and go through the motions of faith, yet we long for the vibrancy, the power, and the authentic community described in the book of Acts. It’s like we have ...read more
