    As the days get shorter, and the nights get colder, fall is a great time to look deep into our souls. It’s a time to delight in the details of beauty around us, reflect on where we have been, and focus on where we are going.

    Gaal Driven Out Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 21, 2020
     | 2,281 views

    There is nothing surprising about what is related here. The drunken celebration of the previous night had left Gaal and his men both mentally and physically unprepared for any kind of effective military activity, and Abimelech and his army easily defeated them.

    Chapter 43 Gaal Driven Out [Judges 9.34-9.41] Scripture: Judges 9:34-41 (KJV) 34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the ...read more

    Separated From Darkness

    When God commanded light to emerge, he did not discard darkness. He separated light from darkness and created day and night. The Lord that separated light from darkness will separate you from every work of darkness in Jesus name.

    TEXT: GENESIS 1:3-4 (NLT) "Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness." LIGHT AND DARKNESS When God created light, he did not discard darkness. He only separated light from darkness. ...read more

    Christmas Eve: "naughty Or Nice"

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Dec 16, 2025
     | 250 views

    Our focus is not technically Santa or a list, but rather Jesus. Let’s look at Jesus’ birth where we will discover two lists and one gift. Tonight, I’d like us to focus on what happened the night of Jesus’ birth.

    CHRISTMAS EVE SERMON LUKE 2:1-20 INTRODUCTION… Origin of N & N List, wiki/Santa_Claus_Is_Comin%27_to_Town The idea of Santa Claus keeping a “naughty and nice” list developed gradually over centuries, blending Christian theology, folklore, and popular culture rather than coming from a single ...read more

    When Jesus gets in your boat, everything changes. Sometimes God’s greatest invitations come in the middle of ordinary moments. In Luke 5, Jesus steps into Peter’s empty boat and turns a night of failure into a calling that changes everything.

    Now Therefore Arise

    Too many in the Church are content with not fulfilling what God has called them to do. This message is about God’s expectations of us.

    Turn with me to Joshua chapter one. Tonight we’re going to look at a chapter that’s very familiar to us. But I want to bring out some things in that chapter for a very specific reason because of what the Lord expects of us. Let’s begin with verse one. (1) Now after the death of Moses the ...read more

    It all goes back to the heart. Guard your heart. Keep your heart encouraged. And in prayer, always believe in your heart that God is there and will answer.

    There have been a few times in my life when I felt God’s presence depart from me. And it was for the purpose of testing me, to see what decision I’ll make without his presence strong upon me. Don’t get me wrong, God was still with me in those times. He hadn’t left me or forsaken me. But, his ...read more
