    As I read this, I see it talking about all the things that the worldly people are doing every day and thinking they are getting by with it, and then one day, God says, “SURPRISE!”

    The Master Of The Storm Series

    The disciples learned much about themselves and the Lord as they encountered a storm on the Sea of Galilee. Is it possible this storm was experienced for their benefit? I think so, and our storms can be opportunities for growth.

    The Master of the Storm Mark 4: 35-41 Our text today reveals the end of a long day of teaching for our Lord. The evening had come, and night was soon approaching. While the disciples may have been unaware, Jesus had made the decision to journey to the other side of the Sea of Galilee that night. ...read more

    The Temptations Of Jesus

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 21, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,481 views

    The temptations expose our vulnerabilities. Beware of the devil's traps of performance (we are what we do), popularity (we are what others think), and possession (we are what we have).

    Jesus was tempted, so are we today. Jesus overcame the temptations, so can we today. • Even under a direct confrontation with the devil, alone in the wilderness, under harsh circumstances, Jesus won. If the devil tempts Him these ways, it would possibly mean that these were good entry ...read more

    The God Of The Suffering Series

     | 6,022 views

    In what ways does God use suffering in the life of a Christian? Maybe this lesson can help you think about how God may work when you are suffering.

    I would like to follow up on the last sermon that I preached on the problem of evil and where I attempted to show why the unbeliever should not be using the idea of evil as an excuse to reject God. In spite of what the unbeliever may think about God or try to accuse Him of, God has a morally ...read more

    I’m In Need Of Resurrection – Part Ii Series

     | 6,504 views

    Because of the indwelling Holy Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is the power that enables us to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the sinful thinking, immoral conduct and fickled feelings.

    Last time we looked at the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and learned that it has certain repercussions—it leaves a mark on those who are touched by it. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead has spiritual, psychological (mind, will, emotions) and physical ramifications ...read more

    Not In Vain Series

     | 4,352 views

    A brief look at how we can avoid taking God's name in vain. Some things most don't think about that can injure our relationship to God.

    Not In Vain Today we will look at the 3rdcommandment: Exodus 20:7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. Many times we have heard of this command and many times I would guess that we thought of it ...read more

    Do Americans worship idols? Isaiah 40:18-28 provides a powerful message against idol worship, the thinking that goes along with it, what causes it, and the solution.

    Top 10 American Idols Isaiah 40:18-28 18 To whom, then, will you compare God? 19 How can you compare anything like Him to an idol that is formed by a craftsman, overlaid with melted down gold, and decorated with chains of melted down silver? 20 If people are too poor to make such a contribution, ...read more

    Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017
     | 8,666 views

    This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

    Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more
