     | 8,117 views

    The ultimate proof of total forgiveness takes place when you and I sincerely petition God to let those who have hurt us off the hook, NO MATTER WHAT THEY’VE DONE!

    Whenever I preached here a couple of months ago, I shared some of my testimony and I briefly touched on the subject of forgiveness and the powerful affect that it had on me. I know that the Lord dealt with some of you in that service and about some issues in your own life. Pastor Hanchey asked me ...read more

    Part 7 of our series looks at where we get our Self-esteem. If we get it from any other place but God, we are setting ourselves up for low self-esteem.

    Why Should Believers Get Along? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stover on Aug 6, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,123 views

    We have seen where spiritual transformation will make us like Christ, even to other believers. But why should we place so much emphasis on believers getting along with each other?

    WHY SHOULD BELIEVERS GET ALONG? Romans 15:1-7 I. Discipleship Demands It (vs. 1-2) A. An Obligation 1. ‘Ought’ is the past tense of ‘owe’ in Old English. Both words have the spiritual pronunciation. 2. The HCSB renders this “we have an obligation”. 3. It is not something we ‘should’ do; it is ...read more

    Building An Altar Of Worship Series

    Contributed by Stuart Blount on Aug 10, 2005
    based on 47 ratings
     | 34,571 views

    God is looking for a people who will build an altar of worship. It is that concept that some captured my attention. In particular the place that the altar plays in Old Testament worship, and it’s accompanying challenge to you and I.

    Egypt is synonymous of our world and it’s accompanying bondage. God’s desire for Israel was that they would be free from Egypt to worship him without constrain, that’s the story of Exodus. The first 2 commandments – EXODUS 20:1-6 Worship is that central affirmation of God in our lives, above ...read more

    The Ministry Of The Night

    Contributed by David King on Sep 7, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,351 views

    Weeping is designed to endure only for the night. It has its place in our walk with God and our pilgrimage to Heaven. Developing the right attitude goes far in determining how quickly our night ends.

    “… AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING were the first day." Gen. 1: 5 "For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning". Psa 30:5 THE MYSTERY OF DIVINE DEALINGS: God’s way is not our way neither His thoughts our thoughts. There ...read more

    A 4-point sermon about giving. Includes tithing our time, energies, talents, and even our money to the Lord’s kingdom. Full text and MP3 will be placed at www.sermonlist.com

    I normally preach twice a year about giving. It is my duty as a pastor to give you all of God’s word, even those parts that we might not like to hear. But why would I choose the month of Christmas, the most expensive month of the year, to talk about giving to the church? Jesus. That is the ...read more

    In order to find true salvation we will need to give up on the things that we thought would get us to heaven and claim our place in heaven through Jesus Christ and be blessed by His presence.

    Giving Up to Gain Philippians 3:4-11 Intro As we travel down the pathway of life, we all have at one time or another lose sight of reality.

     | 18,022 views

    Father Dave’s Sermon on Matthew 21:33-46 & the East Timorese Martyrs. The nature of God, the price he’s willing to pay for His ’Vineyard’ and the wait for the justice that will eventually take place.

    Wednesday is the feast of ’the Saints and Martyrs of Asia’. It is a tragic irony that on the very day it is celebrated, more East Timorese martyrs will probably be added to their number! A Protestant Christian leader has been killed. The Communion of Churches in Indonesia has confirmed that the ...read more

    The aim of the Book of Proverbs is to help us acquire and apply God’s wisdom to the decisions and activities of daily life. The starting place in becoming a wise guy (or woman) is to treat God with reverence and awe.
