  • Maturing Is Hard To Do - But It's Worth It!

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 26, 2011
     | 6,097 views

    Too often as Christians we take short cuts to maturity. In reality the only way to become complete is to let the Lord take you through difficulty and make you seem to "fail." In the process He builds life and a character in you that will lead you into His

    We all have a decision to make. After we become a disciple of Jesus Christ the culture around us, our own brokenness, and an invisible enemy—will all try to mitigate the work that the Holy Spirit is doing inside of us: transforming us into a new character. The decision we have to make is how ...read more

    J Sidlow Baxter says God is a mystery, yet God says in Jeremiah 4: 23-24 that you and I can understand and know Him, knowing God is a process, you must seek Him and get to know Him by experience and divine revelation

  • Let The Journey Begin Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 19, 2022
     | 3,420 views

    Our journey towards a deeper and closer relationship with God is not something that just happens. We don’t just passively float through life and hope that we end up somewhere wonderful or nice. We have to be intentional and we have to be engaged in the process.

    How many of you have just woke up one day, got in your car, went to the airport and randomly bought a ticket to a place you never heard of? Or just got in your car and drove to a random city? None of you, I would suspect. When you go on a trip or a vacation, you picked a certain place to go and ...read more

  • The Blessing Of Holiness Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 1, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,856 views

    Holiness is part of a process whereby God makes us more like Christ. It isn't just what we do in church on Sunday that marks us as holy; it is being faithful during the week, before the watching world...letting our light shine.

    In a speech to the nation in 1863, Abraham Lincoln said this... “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have ...read more

  • Deceptive Looks

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 17, 2018
     | 5,674 views

    Jesus enters Jerusalem as the Messiah—King of the Jews. Kings hate other kings coming onto their turf. The king is crucified—a messenger of love and a victim of hate. In the process, what looks good turns out bad and what appears to be bad becomes good.

    INTRODUCTION There is a Chinese story of a farmer who used an old horse to till his fields. One day, the horse escaped into the hills and when the farmer's neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?" A week later, the horse ...read more

  • Reflection B.2 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / God Responds To Sin And Oppression

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020
     | 1,742 views

    The title is 'God responds to sin and oppression'. That's a very basic thing to understand in our process of thinking about coronavirus! Not only that, God responds to sin and oppression in an appropriate way. The plagues of Egypt show us this.

    We’re looking at three questions. Is coronavirus a judgement from God? Are we living in end times? And, what does the Bible say about COVID-19? Today we’ll look at some general principles about how God responds to a situation he doesn’t like. 1 Kings 6:1 tells us that ‘In the four hundred and ...read more

  • Buying Your Own Ticket To Hell

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 15, 2020

     | 6,002 views

    Nobody really wants to go to Hell. Its very name conveys the ideas of “dread” and “punishment.” As strange as it sounds, one man in Scripture did buy his own ticket to Hell. Possibly some of you are in the process of buying your own ticket there.

    BUYING YOUR OWN TICKET TO HELL Jonah 1:3; 2:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A young boy from down south attended Sunday school for the first time with his grandparents who lived up north. He was so excited he couldn’t wait to tell grandma about the lesson. 2. "My teacher taught us all ...read more

  • Road Signs Of Danger

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 7, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,072 views

    Most of my preaching has to deal with what the scriptures tell us to do to DRAW NIGH TO GOD. But sometime it is important that God’s preachers preach on the warning of drifting from God. Leaving the Lord is not usually a thing one does overnight. It is a slow process.

    I have called this sermon “ROAD SIGNS OF DANGER”, because the Christian life is similar to traveling down a road. Illus: Have you ever traveled down a road and you came to a road sign that indicated that a curve was ahead? Once you got to the curve, it was so sharp that you could almost see your ...read more

    In our text, Paul promises to send Timothy to Philippi at a later date. In the process, he offers some commentary about Timothy. He explains why he is such a respected leader. He does so to use Timothy as an example of what a good leader is all about.
