    based on 24 ratings
     | 9,293 views

    Trusting ourselves is sometimes a dangerous choice. If we only rely on ourselves to solve all our problems we will fail. God’s Word says all our trust should be in Him.

    Who do you trust? That is quite a question I think. Its kind of makes me laugh at when I think of everything we trust in. Let’s start out with your day and look at what you trust in. These will be people and objects Ryan’s Day, 6:30 wake up take Sydney out to pee and feed her 6:30 and 30 ...read more

    A tough sermon that addresses the reality of depression and how to deal with it from a Biblical perspective. Because of the subject matter there was no central scripture text, but a variety of passages that gave evidence to the fact that many Biblical cha

    Well, good morning. Is anybody dealing with the winter blues? Anybody at all? Be honest. Of course you are. Because it’s January, there is snow on the ground, it’s cold out there, and the Steelers are not going to be in the Super Bowl. We all experience the winter blues, but if ...read more

    Lord is saying to the people of the earth how He will restore them; this city of Jerusalem would be an example or sample of His glory. It will become a symbol of joy. They will praise God when the people see the goodness, prosperity, peace, and security that He provides to them.

    The Lord shall Provide Jeremiah 33:1-9 They shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.’ Jeremiah 33:9 Good morning! Praise be to the Lord!

    Life is tough. As a result, there is need for us to reach out & touch a life. The heart that regularly gives thanks is the heart that serves God by faithfully ministering to others.Such is the power of gratitude

    Kids WILL ask questions, won’t they? How do you handle those times? An examination of principles for training your children when they ask those tough questions.

    Daddy, why do we close our eyes when we pray? Why do we pray to God and not to Buddah? Why do we have to go to church? Why do we have to live so different?

    Just because things may be difficult for you does not mean that it is "not" the will of God for you to stay put. Too many leave the local church when it starts getting tough.

    Boards & Broken Pieces Acts 27:44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. Paul has really been doing some preaching… Cities are being stirred up. Devil is stirred up. Paul becomes a prisoner… appears ...read more

     | 4,729 views

    This is a tough question! Do I want to become more like Jesus, or do I want God to help me become more the person that I selfishly want to be?

    Was Jesus a nice, polite, mild-mannered, good-natured young man who kept himself to himself? Was Jesus middle-of-the-road, all things to all people, politically correct, and softly spoken? Was Jesus the most inoffensive man you could ever wish to meet? I wonder what kind of gentle, meek and mild ...read more

     | 5,199 views

    Things can be pretty tough there in the first half of the game. Certainly Timothy was not having a really great time. So let’s listen in to Paul’s half-time talk.

    Passage: 2 Timothy 2:1-13 Intro: Most team sports have some kind of intermission, half-time. 1. and if you have played on a crummy team, like the football team I played on in HS, you have heard the half-time “pep talk.” 2. supposed to energize, encourage, send the team back out with a “rah ...read more

     | 75,387 views

    The sermon was written to call us to repentance for missing for so long, restore us to the place of godly leadership and stability, and encourage us to hang in there even when the going gets tough.

    The society in which we live has neglected to teach men about their role in the home, in the church, and society. The worldly view of a man’s role is that he should provide financially for his family, but we shouldn’t expect him to be very engaged with home life. In spite of all our talk of ...read more

    Jesus warns of tough times and provides us His Word to lead and guide us in our lives. We say that we live by HIs word, but are we? Is it inspiration and perspiration?

    Inspiration and Perspiration 2 Timothy 3:16-3:17 Introduction- Turn with me to 2 Timothy chapter 3 I want to take a look at what most of us here would say is the Word of God that they live bye.

    You may be in a valley situation right now. It may seem as though everything is dead, everything is dislocated, messed up, dried up, washed out, and scattered but God is ready to breathe new life into your situation.

    It would be my guess that the most powerful prayer that Jonah ever prayed was in the belly of a fish. It’s possible that the most powerful prayer you have ever prayed was when you were in trouble as well. If crisis drives us to pray that's a good thing!

    When it’s hard to pray, Pray Harder! Jonah 2:1-10 Sometimes what you think might do you in will be the one thing that saves you. Sometimes the worst possible thing that can happen to you is exactly what you need. Sometimes the thing you fear the most is the very thing that will turn your ...read more
