     | 10,575 views

    Gentleness is possibly the most misunderstood virtue. Many people think of gentleness as being weak, timid, or passive. This is not the biblical understanding of gentleness.

    The Virtue of Gentleness (part 9) The Core Virtues of the Christian Life Galatians 5:22-23 Jeff Armbrester Have you ever watched a 2000-pound horse pull logs? A few years ago, a friend called to tell me that a man who lived over the hill from us was having some trees cut out of his yard and they ...read more

    This sermon focuses on John Wesley’s understanding of salvation and uses illustrations from Wesley’s life to bring the point home.

    We are continuing our series of John Wesley’s sermons today – today’s sermon is about salvation. Really – what does it take to be saved? This sermon described what “saved” means – it talks about what is required and it talks about what faith means. As Wesley says, this is a “serious inquiry.” ...read more

    Problems and trials are a normal part of life. This message seeks to give understanding as to why God permits trials to come into our lives.

    GOD’S PURPOSE IN PROBLEMS TEXT: Ps.119: 65-75 INTRO: Whether we like it or not, problems are a fact of life. It is not a matter of “if” problems come, but “when” problems come. You know, as well as I do, that even with the best of preventative measures problems still have a way of ...read more

    It is important to not only understand end-time events, but how the principles behind end-time events are relevant to daily life today.

    The Olivet Discourse (Matt., chapters 24-25, Mark 13:1-37, Luke 21:5-36) NOTE: This is a handout included in the bulletin Some people love to study end-time events and all the big words that accompany it, such as "eschatology," which is "the study of last things."

    "An Anointed Experience..."

    Contributed by E.t. Cummings on Sep 18, 2003
    based on 46 ratings
     | 11,073 views

    In this sermon, God designed purpose is to get the believer to understand his purpose in ministry and his plan to accomplish his planned tasks.

    As we discover the church of today, the church really doesn’t know how to experience the anointing because many sermons have been preached, many stories have been told, and many books have been written, but to give you the true meaning of anoiting, many people can’t tell you because they have the ...read more

    They all pointed to Him. Those prophets of the Old Testament were seeing something they couldn’t figure out, but longed to understand.

    When is the last time you saw something about to happen and you knew it would? At that moment, you were looking into the future and seeing the outcome of events that were yet to take place. God has made us spiritual creatures like himself. We make plans, we set goals, we write out our schedules ...read more

     | 4,885 views

    This is a message focusing on the lordship of Christ. The emphasis was on helping our people understand the invitation to live and participate in the kingdom, or reign, of God today.

    Jesus is Lord Luke 17:20-36 “And milk.” Every morning for the first six years of my education, those two words signaled the end of the day’s announcements and the impending opportunity for each student in the school to rise for the “Pledge of Allegiance.” Every day was the same.

    Abraham knew the character of God so well that he trusted His Promises even when he could not understand them

    Gen 15:1-13 I have always liked the story of Abraham – a heathen whose father was a craftsman of idols in Ur of the Chaldees - and who responded to the call of God in his life And the story in Gen 15 is particularly striking for me – because Gen 15:2 was my baptism verse “I am your ...read more

    From understanding gained from the Middle East, we see even more amazingly the measure and wonder of God’s grace

    Dr Bailey lived and worked for more than two decades among isolated peasant communities in the Middle East. He stayed in villages which until 10 or 20 years ago had never seen a motor vehicle; where time and tradition have stood still for centuries, even millennia. As he learned of their ...read more

    Gaining a clear focus on life by understanding who God created us to be so we can develop a burning passion for God.

    A look at the foundational importance of understanding the Genesis account of Creation as reliable - illustrated from Jesus’ Words in Matthew 7:15-29.

    I’ve titled my sermon this morning, “Foundations”. The reason for this is that God has impressed on my heart the deep-seated need for this generation of Americans to understand a key difference in how we look at things, how we approach our daily lives and the decisions we make. The foundation ...read more
