Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon explores the concept of true happiness according to the Bible, emphasizing that it is found in unexpected places as outlined in Jesus' Beatitudes.

It shouldn't surprise us at all that God wants us to be happy. God loves us and God is for us and God has given us life and life more abundantly. But, what does come as a huge surprise for us, is where God's plan for happiness is found. Looking back to last week, we said the blessed person (in ...read more

Discover Peace Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Nov 23, 2006

Peace is an illusive element in human life, but one we all crave. The Psalmist reminds us that peace is a gift from God and comes from placing our faith in God.

Psalm 46:1-11 “Peace” INTRODUCTION Peace is a condition that is universally craved by humankind, yet it is also a condition that is very illusive. Few people and few nations experience true peace. During the history of humankind, it has been estimated that there have been only fourteen years ...read more

The Way, The Truth, And The Life

Contributed by Bill Butsko on Apr 20, 2008

Jesus teaches us about peace, a perfect place he has prepared for us, and promises he will return so that we spend eternity with him.

Text: “Let not your heart be troubled…” (John 14:1). What kind of life do you think Jesus wants us to live? Does He want us to be worried and uptight? Does He want us to dwell on things that will probably never come about? Does He want us to waste our time feeling sorry for ourselves? Does He ...read more

The Pile Of Stones

Contributed by Hugh W. Davidson on Apr 18, 2009

The place where they set up these monuments was called Gilgal and we all need a Gilgal in our lives. It’s a place where we can look back on as our point of personal surrender. It may be a church, a room or whatever. The location isn’t important but t

Sheltered In Prayer; Released In Power

Contributed by Marty Baker on Jun 1, 2020

When you think about it, this is not the first time that the church was told to shelter in place. In the days following the resurrection of Jesus Christ, he gathered his disciples together and prepared them for what was coming. Then, Jesus said, “I want you to shelter in place in Jerusalem.”

Have You Had A Desert Experience?

Contributed by Kelly Durant on Jun 4, 2016

So God’s Word from the beginning describes how his children literally have to move from one place to another, and often move into a desert place for some time for a purpose, and this begs this question, how does this relate to you and me in our life?

Have You Had A Desert Experience? Kelly Durant Luke 4:1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into[a] the wilderness 2.

The Pleasure Of Perfection Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Psalm 84 begins with an expression of pleasure in God's dwelling place. "How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty." There is a deep longing in this song to experience again the pleasure of being in this lovely environment where the presence of God could be felt.

Christians have always had mixed feelings about pleasure. They know God made us to enjoy many pleasures of life, and yet there are also the forbidden pleasures. These are often just extremes of what is acceptable. Sex is good, but immorality is bad. Food is good, but gluttony is bad. Abundance is ...read more

Confirming The Covenant Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jun 15, 2024

God is bringing us back to the Garden, the new Jerusalem - the city which has foundations whose architect and builder is God - the place of deep fulfillment in every sense.

In this Genesis series, we can see that one of the themes running through the book is “blessing.” One of the meanings of the Hebrew word for blessing is “deep fulfillment.” When God created Adam and Eve they were in a blessed state - they were deeply fulfilled. However, as soon as they were exiled ...read more

A Noticeable Change

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 20, 2024

Paul was well aware of the transformation that takes place when one receives the gospel message and is saved by the grace of God. Such a transformation produces radical change in the life of the new believer.

Dismantle Your Glory

Contributed by Ben Irabor on Aug 9, 2010

God is calling you to a new level of intimacy. If you dare to answer His call, the Lord will reveal a Fresh part of His Character to you. He will pull you so close that you will be breathing the rarefied air of Heaven. The place David Call “SECRET PLACE”.

DISMANTLE YOUR GLORY The Burial of a man’s glory is the birth of God’s Glory: We have lost the art of adoring the Lord. Our worship gets so cluttered with endless strings of shallow and insincere words that we do most of the time to take up space or put in prayer time with passionless ...read more
