When believers are controlled by the Holy Spirit, they manifest: 1) Upward Fruit (Galatians 5:22a) 2) Outward Fruit (Galatians 5:22b) and 3) Inward Fruit (Galatians 5:23)

Stubborn In Spirit, Persistent In Prayer

Contributed by Kimberly Belken on Sep 27, 2020

The Biblical woman of Hannah has much to teach us about prayer and trust in God. We learn to pound on the doors of heaven and that we can trust God to hear and answer us.

There was something fundamentally wrong with her. There had to be. It was the only explanation for Hannah’s inability to carry a child. Her husband, Elkanah’s second wife was able to conceive and bear children, a fact that she made sure to rub in every chance she got. Therefore, it had to be ...read more

In The Mist Of The Sea

Contributed by Martin Holland on Mar 30, 2012

After the feeding of the 5,000 He sends His disciples unto the other side toward Capernaum, but unto Bethsaida the northern part of the sea. And ...read more

Ruth and Naomi aided each other in being responsible for love. They took the risks necessary to see each other have fulfilled lives. The story has a happy ending because they took this responsibility of risks on themselves. In every story with a happy ending somebody has to take risks.

Fort Lee, which is now Charleston, West Virginia was under attack in 1791. Colonel George Clendenin assembled his men to ask for a volunteer to ride to Lewisberg over 100 miles away to get powder. They were almost out, and their survival depended upon a renewed supply. No one volunteered, for it ...read more

From Bitter To Better

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 6, 2021

Trials and troubles, far from being harmful to you, cause us to grow. Under Pharaoh's oppression Israel grew dramatically. Joseph too faced the dilemma of whether to become bitter at his brothers, or better. He saw the hand of God & chose the latter.

You Are Never Alone

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Jul 21, 2024

In today’s real world, there are very few and quiet moments in life. In life we will find ourselves in various situations we never chose to be in. Hardships and trials come without invitation. Through it all, we are never alone.

Title of the Sermon - YOU ARE NEVER ALONE. Our reading today tells us that Jesus’ disciples found themselves in trouble as the wind picked up and tossed them to and fro on the Sea of Galilee. It is much like many of us who are tossed to and fro with the cares and trials of this life. Wonder how ...read more
