    God give us gifts to use in His work. How we use and build those gifts is up to us. We grow as we mature in Christ and become more aware of things outside ourselves.

    Exodus 31:1-3 INTRO: The idea of Christmas means different things to different people. Some hold the idea in wonderment of the thrill of presents while others cringe at the idea of expense and yet others dive into the depths of meaning of types and symbols. From the very young to ...read more

    There are two sets of people making their entry into the New Year 2012. There are those who are in it merely to pass through; and there are other who are in it to possess it. Everyone has to make a determination whether they want to pass through it or pos

    One of the names by which Christians are known is "Light.” Christians are supposed to be the light in this dark world. Christians are supposed to show the way to people who do not know the way. They are supposed to direct those who are in darkness

    Matthew 5:14-16 says, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candle stick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your ...read more

    There are so many sites across America that reminds us of the sacrifices made by so many for our nation. Today we as a nation by our actions are slowly removing those things that reminds us of our God.

    Remembering God Exodus 3:13-15 Memorial Day is a time to reflect upon the personal sacrifices many Americans have made for the advancement of this nation. This all began when a small group of people sailed to land for religious freedom and in doing so many died. Since then we have evolved into a ...read more

    Eljah prayed and his prayer was very effective. God is still willing to do even greater things in our days provided He can see those qualities He saw in Elijah in us today.

    EFFECTIVE PRAYING STUDY TEXT: James 5:13-18 is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall ...read more

    The Peace Of God Series

    There is a great misunderstanding of true peace. Peace is not the absence of problems. It is instead God's power to live through and above those problems. God gives us wholeness when He indwells believers with His Holy Spirit.

    Intro: A therapist told their patient the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what they start. So far today, they finished 2 bags of chips and a chocolate cake. They said, “I feel better already.” There are lots of people giving advice and writing books about peace today. ...read more

    God is calling his people to be persistent in prayer. God is calling his people to be changed, to be transformed through prayer. God is calling to those who truly enjoy and who truly yearn to spend time with Him.

    Let us pray -- O' Heavenly Father, we come before you this day and we ask that you reveal more about the nature of prayer. May our hearts and our minds be open to your Word this day. We ask this in the blessed name of Jesus your son and our Savior .... Amen. A young man went into a drugstore to ...read more

    How should American's handle our wealth? Should those who are wealthy feel guilty about special vacations and favorite hobbies. Should we sell everything if we want to be real follower of Jesus?

    Intro Today, we talk about something that requires wisdom and diligence to handle correctly. It is something we have all held in our hands at one time or another. It has the power for good, but it also has the power to destroy. Despite its power, it is something we all need. I’m talking ...read more

    Caleb: A Man Favored By God

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013
     | 24,011 views

    God loves everyone, nevertheless there are those whom He has favored more than others. In this lesson, well explore the story of Caleb and learn why God favored him and how He will favor you.

    Does God have favorites? Oh I know He loves everybody. John 3:16 settles that argument. We also know that He does not show partiality toward men but calls all of every nation (Acts 10:34). And yet, when we survey the annuls of scripture, we clearly see that God was drawn to certain individuals more ...read more

     | 4,895 views

    Those who assume positions of influence and leadership must be willing to pay the price to hold such positions. In this lesson we'll explore the price Peter paid in Antioch when he played the hypocrite and was rebuked by Paul.

    There are people in this world who possess the natural ability to lead and command the respect of others. Whether you call it charm, charisma, magnetism, or whatever, such people wield a powerful influence on those who look up to them as the embodiment of all they would like to become ...read more

    To perish, Nineveh thought best not to, when repentance was the discipline to obedience needed to save their souls through forgiveness, to enter in to the salvation plan of God through Christ Jesus, unlike the Galileans and those sinners at Siloam.

    REPENT by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (October 23, 2015) “The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here [“So the people of Nineveh ...read more
