     | 28,631 views

    If we want our lives to be different in 2018 than it has been in 2017, then we must "write our vision" for 2018.

    I don’t know about you, but there are some parts of 2017 I’m not very happy about. And there are parts of 2017 I’m not carrying into 2018. Can I get an “Amen”? In 2018, it’s going to be different for Barry. I can’t speak for anybody else but it’s going to be different for Barry. The title of the ...read more

    Jonah’s disobedience brought untold troubles on all the crew aboard that ship. The church too must be wary of those who are divisive and must strive hard to maintain unity, integrity continuing in prayer and being obedient to God.

    We read in Jonah 1:11, Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea was raging and growing more tempestuous. (AFV) The events that preceded this verse were that the ship on which Jonah voyaged was faced with a severe tempest. The mariners ...read more

     | 4,233 views

    This sermon reflects the wilderness and how the tempter uses doubt to test the marque, a model brand of the faith of Jesus Christ in and against the shortcomings of the simple ones holding on by the faith of a mustard seed.

    Matthew 4: 1-10 Following the Lord through wilderness is where holiness is obtained; on green grass with jaborandi, it’s like dew following an early morning; in my ears, the lullabies are singed. I had to resist the easy way out of compromising to fall to sleep. My heart for the word of ...read more

    Jesus shows the power of sacrificial giving through the two coins placed in the offering by a poor widow.

    PENNIES! ONE OF MY FAVORITE SAYINGS FROM GEORGE CARLIN IS ABOUT THE PENNY. HE WHIMSICALLY ASKED, “WHEN SOMEONE ASKS YOU, A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS, AND YOU PUT YOUR TWO CENTS IN, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OTHER PENNY?” WE PROBABLY DON’T PUT A LOT OF VALUE IN THE ONE-CENT COPPER COIN AS WE SEE THEM ON ...read more
