    An Ode To The Word Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 18, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,048 views

    This section has been called an inverted dirge, beginning with celebration, but ending in tears. This shows just how totally the Psalmist is engaged with his subject. In truth, it is a celebration of the Word of God, and of the God of the Word.

    AN ODE TO THE WORD OF GOD. Psalm 119:129-136. Psalm 119:129. Reason to keep God’s “testimonies”? Because they are wonderful. Indeed, the Word of God is a ‘wonderful’ thing, full as it is of an extraordinary supernatural wonder! The Psalmist engages not just his “soul” but his whole man to the ...read more

     | 5,060 views

    First sermon I preached at our new church plant, The Road, www.tiftonroad.org. It was about the willingness of Paul to totally rely on Christ, rather than any earthly accomplishment or accolade.

    "follow Me"

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on Mar 29, 2019
     | 7,002 views

    Holiness of the believer is a Biblical topic that seems to have been almost totally obscured by the false teaching of "cheap grace." Are Christians actually supposed to be "holier than thou"?

    “Follow Me” The second paragraph of Untied States Declaration of Independence begins with these words; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the ...read more

    God’s Divine Disruption Series

     | 2,822 views

    The God’s call is always a divine disruption. Salvation, discipleship, and service will disrupt your normal activities and redirect your life. It is life changing, redirecting, lonely, scary, but totally worth it!

    Sermon: God’s Divine Disruption Scripture: Acts 9: 1-18 Saul’s Conversion “Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. 2 He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation ...read more

    Kingdom Greatness

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 18, 2024
     | 747 views

    “Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

    Sermon: The Path to Kingdom Greatness Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins ...read more

     | 18,527 views

    God’s great faithfulness: 1. Brings hope in our darkest hour (vs. 21). 2. Is the source of our salvation (vs. 22-23). 3. Makes Him our greatest gift (vs. 24). 4. Guarantees His goodness to all who trust in Him (vs. 25-26).

    If you have experienced depression and despair then you are not alone. Some of God’s greatest saints have felt the cold darkness surround them and yet they found His hand lead them out of the darkness and into His glorious light.

    Coming Out Of The Darkness Psalm 55:4-7 I felt it creeping in. I hadn’t eaten all day but I felt heavy. My heart hung low within me. I couldn’t muster the energy to lift the corners of my mouth to smile. The darkness was so heavy I couldn’t lift my arms to free myself. Friends tried to console ...read more

    God will lead you, if you will look up and step out. Real worship is not cheap. God will take you places you have never imagined and by routes that you never had planned; but don't despair, plod on.

    What began as an intended temporary stay in Moab, turned into ten years of despair and suffering. Upon hearing the Lord had visited His people, Naomi made the wise decision to begin the long journey home. It would prove beneficial.

    The Long Road Home Ruth 1: 19-22 We know that Naomi had left the land of Bethlehem-Judah with her husband to sojourn in the land of Moab. What began as an intended temporary stay turned into ten long years of difficulty and heartache. Now Naomi heard the Lord had visited His people in ...read more

    Psalm 77 opened with a cry of doubt and despair. Here is a man who had almost lost his faith because of the thought that God had changed his mind, that God is capricious and cannot be trusted. But he is with us and makes the ways.

    Theme: Ways through Seas Text: Psalm 77:16-20 Introduction: Psalm 77 provides a lot of hope and encouragement amongst cries. It is called a lament psalm.

    The ultimate proof of total forgiveness takes place when you and I sincerely petition God to let those who have hurt us off the hook, NO MATTER WHAT THEY’VE DONE!

    Whenever I preached here a couple of months ago, I shared some of my testimony and I briefly touched on the subject of forgiveness and the powerful affect that it had on me. I know that the Lord dealt with some of you in that service and about some issues in your own life. Pastor Hanchey asked me ...read more
