    Sermon # 46 - Be A Wise Steward Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 21, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 275 views

    The secret to the tremendous growth of the early church was their unity and generosity. God has blessed us to be a blessing. May we be wise stewards who will use worldly wealth for godly purposes and invest for eternity.

    Today’s meditation is based on Acts 4:32, “The group of believers was one in mind and heart. None of them said that any of their belongings were their own, but they all shared with one another everything they had.” (GNB) Those of us who have been born again as children of God, and have the ...read more

    CHRISTMAS IS A MESSAGE OF GOOD TIDINGS; A MESSAGE OF GREAT JOY.AND THE MESSAGE OF GRAND LOVE. Bible says “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”

    The real message of Christmas is not the gifts that we give to each other. Rather, it is a reminder of the gift that God has given to each of us. During this Christmas season, we’ll hear one word more than any other. It’s “the Name of Jesus.” It’s “a gift” ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,185 views

    Are we waiting on God for His timing in every area of our lives? If we do not listen to God, wait on Him, and allow the Spirit of God to lead us every day we can make decisions that we will regret later.

    We read in Genesis 12:4, When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the LORD had told him to do; and Lot went with him. (GNB) When Abram was seventy five years old, in obedience to what the Lord told him to do, he departed from Haran. When God spoke to Abram, he ...read more

    God’s Design In Man’s Despair

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 24, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,529 views

    Today's Sermon is about how Christmas is God's Design in Man's Despair. It is taken from Jesus's genealogy found in Matthew's Gospel. It looks at how God perfectly ordered history, how God works through sinful man, and that we have to resign from being our own gods.

    God’s Design in Man’s Despair Matthew 1:1-25 Looking at this title, “God’s Design in Man’s Despair,” it doesn’t look or sound like a positive and uplifting Christmas message, but stay tuned, because I believe you’ll be blessed knowing that God’s has a design for our lives. This actually came ...read more

    Each one of us should be involved in improving our relationship with God. We should be committed to knowing what His Word calls us to do, and we set out to do this with ONE purpose – to develop “a proven character”; to show people Who it is we serve … and WHY we willingly serve Him!

    “Living Like a Follower” - Philippians, Part 5 Philippians Sermon Series, Part 5 Philippians 2:12-24 Introduction - Reminder about our level-set from series opener: 1. Christians must reflect the joy of Christ in everything we do 2. This means you and I are to make the Gospel ...read more

     | 5,007 views

    Often we try to bypass the waiting room, but there can be found great purpose while waiting for God's good things. Do we honestly evaluate where we have been, where we are going? There may be a reason God ask us to WAIT UPON HIM?
