    Happy Birthday Herod!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 14, 2016
     | 9,724 views

    Herod had a birthday party, but ended up paying for it instead of receiving. It's a story of unforgiveness, a seductive dance, and a well-intentioned man who by compromise was pulled into grave sin.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEROD! Mk. 6:17-28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: PLAYPEN 1. A young mother complained to her friend about the difficulties of child rearing, especially the lack of peace and constant pestering by her small children. 2. Her friend smiled and said, "What you need is a playpen to separate ...read more

    In the story of Jesus' ascension, God reminds us to leave God's work to God (including our worry), to trust God's power to guide our witness, and to be prepared for Jesus' return.

    Acts 1:4-11 Marching Orders Three days ago marked “Ascension Day” on the church calendar. This is the day we celebrate Jesus’ ascension into heaven. Today’s scripture records the story. And as Jesus interacts with his disciples, we see him shift their focus from temporal to eternal; he broadens ...read more

    Series: Recovering Stolen Identity & Reclaiming Misplaced Destiny: Part 6: The Samson Story: "an Example Of A Partially Fulfilled Destiny

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
     | 7,700 views

    The Story Of Samson Is One Of The Saddest In The Bible. David, Elijah, Peter, Moses, Jacob, all came back. Samson did, but partially. He was gifted to be God’s man in Israel’s critical hour. But he misused his privilege and partially fulfilled his mission - an example for us all.

    SERIES: RECOVERING STOLEN IDENTITY & RECLAIMING MISPLACED DESTINY: PART 7: ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF STOLEN IDENTITY & MISPLACED DESTINY: SAMSON: EXAMPLE OF A PARTIALLY FULFILLED DESTINY 1.

     | 4,020 views

    It is easy to forget to give thanks when things are going wrong. There is a beautiful story of the king's son that had a bad attitude. We may see through the fog, but God has a plan.

    GIVE THANKS? MAYBE? WHAT DO I KNOW? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com HAVE YOU EVER FORGOT WHAT YOU KNOW? SPIRITUALLY, I THINK IT IS SO EASY TO FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW… One day when I was young I ran out of gas. It was before the cell phone. I sat and wondered what am I going ...read more

     | 8,820 views

    From the story of Samuel anointing David as future king, we learn to obey God (which impacts others), to never stop learning, and to cultivate character. (Used as Father's Day sermon.)

    1 Samuel 15:34 - 1 Samuel 16:13 Lessons from the Father of a Nation This Father’s Day I thought it would be interesting to learn from the Father of a nation. We usually look at today’s story from the perspective of David, but why not see it through Samuel’s eyes? Samuel, in essence, is the father ...read more

    He is Risen! He has finished what the Father desired for our lives. Easter is more than a story, it is the greatest act of love and compassion ever shown to mankind by a loving God.

    In many ways, Mary is the star of the Christmas Story, outside of her son of Course. This message looks at what the Angel was asking of her when he said, "Do not be afraid."

    Have you ever been afraid at Christmas time? Maybe as a child you were afraid of Santa? Or maybe you were afraid that you hadn’t made the good list and you were afraid Santa wouldn’t come. Or perhaps it was a rough year financially and you were afraid that you would let your family down at ...read more

    Approaching this Mother’s Day message, two distinct things came to mind. The first was the lovingkindness of God, and the second was the story of Hagar. Therefore, what we will be looking at is then Hagar and the lovingkindness of God.

    Exodus chapter 12 tells the story of the First Passover and the connection with the final plague, the Plague of death. There is a definite connection from the Passover in the Old Testament and the Lord’s supper of the New Testament.

    I remember hearing a striking sermon preached by a friend of mine. My friend became a Christian as an adult from a Jewish background. He was preaching on the Passover and his experience growing up where the Passover was observed in his home every year. It was an intimate family time for them. In ...read more
