    You cannot change yourself, BUT GOD CAN

    The Old Man Is Dead (Eph 4:22-32) Intro: Testimony Some time ago, a person I worked with came up to me and said, “if I didn’t know you, I would be terrified to meet you on the street”.

    God’s Design In Man’s Despair

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 24, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,500 views

    Today's Sermon is about how Christmas is God's Design in Man's Despair. It is taken from Jesus's genealogy found in Matthew's Gospel. It looks at how God perfectly ordered history, how God works through sinful man, and that we have to resign from being our own gods.

    God’s Design in Man’s Despair Matthew 1:1-25 Looking at this title, “God’s Design in Man’s Despair,” it doesn’t look or sound like a positive and uplifting Christmas message, but stay tuned, because I believe you’ll be blessed knowing that God’s has a design for our lives. This actually came ...read more

Text: Acts 12:1 - 19 Act 12:1-19 Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. (2) Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

    God's unyielding love, His sovereignty, and the hope of resurrection, even in the face of death.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're going to dive into a deep and powerful message from the Song of Songs. I know, it might seem a bit odd to find such a message in the Song of Songs, a book known for its romantic and passionate imagery. But in Chapter 8, Verse 6, we find a profound truth ...read more

    The Destructive Nature Of Man’s Human Spirit

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Apr 14, 2025
     | 415 views

    The Old and New Covenants meet with God in different ways. But few have asked whether these differences create spiritual powers that work against the Christian life. This maybe why Paul struggled with a Church in transition.

    The Destructive Nature of Man’s Human Spirit Life sets before us an interesting journey of discovery. Within that journey we record what our eyes perceive as beauty, what our hearts cherish as food for the soul and what our spirit learns of eternity. Hence every endeavor in life relies upon body, ...read more

    Multiply Your Blessings

    Contributed by Diana Ball on Dec 1, 2008
    based on 35 ratings
     | 17,049 views

    Ephesians 1:3 says we have already been given every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms, yet we do not seem to have them. Could it be because we do not know how to reach out and take them?

    JOHN 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." The Good News Bible translates that statement of Jesus as, "I have come in order that you might have life ---- life in all its fullness." That’s what our faith ...read more

    Confronting Mammon

    Contributed by Robert Grey on Nov 4, 2002
    based on 19 ratings
     | 7,614 views

    Mammon is a very powerful force in the world today that ties people into a financial system that prevents the people of God from effectively preaching the Gospel. The story of how Abraham tithed after rescuing Lot gives some important principles.

    Background. Abraham had two brothers, Nahor and Haran. They and their father Terah lived in Ur of the Chaldees. This city, famous for the worship of the Moon God, was located on the banks of the Euphrates near the Persian Gulf, just before the Tigris River enters into it. In Ur, the Stela of ...read more
