    Hannah’s preparation of Samuel for a life of ministry was accomplished in just a few short years. See the qualities of motherhood that allowed her to impact young Samuel.

    "A Mother’s Gift" 1 Samuel 1 A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: "My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I pick up things. What am I?" When the test papers were turned in, the ...read more

    The Word Of The Cross Is Foolish

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Jan 21, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,148 views

    That the Son of God should die on a cross is pure foolishness to many people. But for Christians, it is the sign of the power of God.

    The Word of the Cross is Foolish I Corinthians 1:18-31 January 22, 2006 A pastor colleague of mine received a call from a worried mother some time ago. “Pastor, can you come over to talk to my daughter? She’s been acting strange ever since she went away to college. Now she has joined the ...read more

    An exploration of contemplating the glory and goodness of God in worship

    Christians serve a beautiful God. Beauty is the absolute foundation of all things. It is transcendent by nature.

    Indescribable God

    Contributed by Greg Bryan on Nov 13, 2004
    based on 30 ratings
     | 19,457 views

    Most of the problems we face in life, perhaps even all of them, are the result of a distorted view of God. Our view of God has a huge impact on our lives. What is your view of God? How big is your God?

    INDESCRIBABLE PS 19:1-6 ILL- There are few things in life that are beyond description. It’s hard to describe to you what it was like being in the delivery room when my daughter was born. That is one of life’s indescribable moments. Until you experience something as beautiful and wonderful as ...read more

    God Calls You

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,329 views

    When God calls us to serve Him, He enables us. Stop looking at your own puny ability and listen to what God is calling us to. Give to God what you have, and let Him work wonders through them and accomplish His purposes.

    How would you respond to God if He comes to you and said? • Listen I have an awesome task for you to accomplish. • It will be part of my plan to redeem the world to myself. • It will involve miracles, signs, and wonders. • It will involve the splitting of the Red Sea and the leading more than ...read more

     | 3,578 views

    We come to church and participate in all the schedule, but are we worshipping? What do we need to do to really worship?

    What has happened to our worship? Text: John 4:21-24 John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 ...read more

    based on 104 ratings
     | 10,713 views

    This word “ignorant” occurs 13 times in the Bible and is connected with some important spiritual facts we should all know. That is why today we look at a warning in Scripture against idols.

    IGNORANT SERIES: AMERICAN IDOLS ISAIAH 44:6-11 INTRODUCTION According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the word “ignorant” means unaware or uniformed. I would like us, for the next few weeks, to look at some spiritual facts that you may be unaware of or have forgotten. Most of the time we ...read more

    based on 159 ratings
     | 59,874 views

    The importance of God’s Word is reiterated throughout its pages and no more powerfully than in Romans 10:7 where it states, "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"

    FAITH COMES BY HEARING ROMANS 10:8-17 INTRODUCTION: It is amazing how little people know about the Word of God, especially here in America where virtually everyone has access to the Bible.

    Be Secure In An Unsafe World

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 1, 2006
    based on 127 ratings
     | 49,590 views

    Our security is in God, not in this world. Our security comes from faith, not the circumstances. Our security is in eternity, not in the present.

    How can we be secure living in an unsafe world? The psalmist tells us through his own experience: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” That’s where we can find true security and peace. In this psalm, the psalmist reminds us of three things: (1) Our Security is ...read more

     | 7,316 views

    The message chronicles Solomon’s heart slowly turning away from the Lord.

    As we saw in last week’s message compromise is the first sign that character erosion is taking place. Solomon’s story is quite tragic as it shows the dangers of compromise and disobedience. When you take one step in the wrong direction—a direction that you know is unwise—it can lead to ungodly ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,088 views

    Forgiveness is easy to talk about, but not always easy to put into practice. This message illustrates why it is so important to forgive.

    Bumper Stickers usually convey a great deal of truth: “The more people I meet the more I like my dog”. • No doubt, many people have had bad experiences with other people. • It seems that many people have been burned; disappointed.

    Follow me – allow yourself to be led by God; understand that in this life you will experience dread; be willing to be ministry fed; and allow the word of God to feed you until you want no more – be word fed.

    Sunday, March 18, 2007 “Follow Me” Text: Luke 9: 21 – 27 As we continue in our walk with Jesus, we paused when he suggested Come Rest Awhile, we where stunned when he commanded to Be thou clean.
