The Will Of God For The Lost Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on May 6, 2012

Should we say "lost" is it another one of those words that are archaic and out of date? No the parable ofthe lost sheep, coin, and son show that God's heart is in seeking, desiring to find the lost. God's will for the lost is clear. His will for the c

Intro: God’s will for the lost is that none should perish that all should come to repentance. This is 2 Peter 3.9. God’s Word translation gives a wonderfully clear picture of God’s will for people that are separated from Him by sin. “The Lord isn't slow to do what he ...read more

How We Pray Is Important

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 23, 2012

I pray we will fail in our pursuit of happiness and that as our focus transforms from the selfish to the holy we will become more and more in tune with His Spirit, with His mission to reach and serve the world around us for His Son.

For the last two weeks we’ve been talking about prayer. The first week we discussed Daniel and how he showed us through his story that prayer matters. We discovered that prayer matters because it helps us to rely on God’s mercy. Because it helps us to confess sin and ask for mercy ...read more

Lent 2013 Week 3 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 6, 2013

God, in His gracious mercy, gives us warnings of the need for repentance. In this case He does it through His Son, Jesus, using two accounts of untimely death and applying them to the reality of eternity which we all face.

This is the third week of the Lenten season and in the Scripture we are about to look at we see how Jesus responded when He was confronted with the news of some untimely deaths. Some died at the hands of an evil man and others died because of a construction accident. Now, you may have noticed on ...read more

Who Is This Man Called Jesus? Series

Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 16, 2011

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and if we commit ourselves to Him, He will give us eternal life. But also, in addition, by committing ourselves to Him, He will empower us with His Holy Spirit to equip us for this life here on earth.

“But will God indeed dwell on the earth?” asked King Solomon as he dedicated the Temple (1 Kings 8:27). A good question indeed. God’s glory had dwelt in the Tabernacle during the wandering years (Exodus 40:34) and then in the Jerusalem Temple when it was built (1 Kings 8:10-11); ...read more

King Making - King Breaking Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 12, 2007

Gideon shunned position but kept power, his son Abimelech had position but not power as both were ruled by the flesh and from the flesh reaped corruption. Learn how we can fall prey to that as Christians and how to avoid it.

Judges 8 and 9 give us a good picture of what happens when we decide to let the flesh rule in our lives instead of God’s Spirit. Galatians 5:16-17 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the ...read more

God Is Still Faithful

Contributed by Charles Jones on Aug 30, 2007

For God to be unfaithful it would mean that he would be acting contrary to His nature, which would be impossible: Numbers 23:19 is plain enough: "God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent."

Deuteronomy 7:9 Text "God, the faithful God" When we read this quotation we must understand that it is taken from 2 passages of scripture that focus on describing to us one of the 8 characteristics of God which is Faithfulness or Loyalty in Exodus 20 we read: (v.6) 1 God spoke all these ...read more
