    You Are Unique

    Whenever you're feeling down or having a sense of worthlessness, remember that you are unique to God and have been put here for a very specific purpose. Know what your purpose is!

    I was speaking to an old friend last week. His Birthday is the day following mine. We’ve been friends for over thirty years but, as men typically do, we don’t really talk all that much but never fail to communicate at Birthday time. Its funny how it works with us. We haven’t spoken lately at all ...read more

    Ark, Anger, And Assurance

    We become angry at God because our prayers are self-centered, but when they are not answered we shut down and avoid God. Until we see that the blessing is in the presence of God we will not reap joy.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, September 8, 1991 (this version); preached in slightly different form at Luther Rice Memorial Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD, July 30, 1978; Calvary Hill Baptist Church, Fairfax, VA, August 6, 1978; Forest Heights Baptist Church, Oxon Hill, MD, Sept. 9, 1979; ...read more

    Finding Rest

    In the midst of the holiday season, we talk about peace and yet our lives are moving at incredible rates of speed. How do we slow down in our world and experience the peace God promises?

    As I was thinking this past week about what to talk about, I decided to share with you a little about where I am in my spiritual journey and what God has been showing me recently. No matter how I live throughout the year, every year around the holidays I find myself tired. Have you ever thought ...read more

    Thank God that He doesn’t give up on us and throw us away when we fall.

    JER.18:1-6 “HE DIDN’T THROW THE CLAY AWAY” A) God is revealed to us in the Bible in many different figures! * Supremely of course, God is the loving Heavenly Father ... He is also Creator of the worlds ....... * The Lord Of Hosts who leads the armies of Heaven, the King of Kings and Lord of ...read more

    In The Likeness Of Christ

     | 8,285 views

    In despite of our brokenness and the way we are brought up, God calls us to be transformed in the likeness of this Son's character.

    When people are asked to quote a line from Shakespeare, most certainly, they will quote the best-known line from all drama or literature: “To be or not to be, that is the question!” Though the tragedy of Hamlet, prince of Denmarke is a philosophical quest in the comparison between the ...read more

    Part one of a 3 part series leading up to Christmas. Ecclesiastes talks about the seasons of our lives.

    Times And Seasons part 1 One of the questions I get most often is, Why can’t I understand what God is doing in my life? It seemed like God was blessing me before, but now he isn't. It seems like my prayers were being answered before, now they aren't. Things used to be easy, now its ...read more

    What is our standard of holiness? As individuals, do we compare ourselves with others? As a church, do we compare our ministry with the congregation down the road? These are mistaken comparisons, as Jesus is our true standard.

    Michael Green, in his book Illustrations for Biblical Preaching, shares a good lesson which I think is appropriate for beginning our message this evening. He states, All of us frequently compare ourselves favorably with someone else. We all think of someone whom we consider to be less mature, ...read more

    Let The Fire Fall

     | 14,551 views

    There is a need for the Fire to fall again--a pure, unprofaned, holy fire from heaven to burn away the sacrifice so that the sweet rain of the Holy Spirit can come pouring down upon this land!

    Let The Fire Fall! INTRO: I want you to see this picture (show picture on screens). This is the world famous fire falls of Yosemite National Park. This spectacular show and amazing feat was cancelled by the park services back in 1968, and has never been seen since. But my mother saw it once before ...read more

    Diagnosing The Problem Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,231 views

    This is the "Total Depravity" sermon without using the stock theological labels. It is the first sermon in the series and it's covert because too many of our listens will shut down their receptors when they hear the words "Calvinism."

    Last week we listened to a story, a parable, that Jesus told about a Pharisee and a tax collector. Here is what he said: “To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a ...read more

    Oneness In Christ

     | 4,783 views

    There are so many different barriers that can separate us from each other. As believers, we should be one in Christ which should also help us break down some of the barriers that separate.

    Introduction- Isn’t God good? We as believers in America have opportunity to gather in a place of worship and lift up the name of Jesus without someone busting down the door- At least today. We have a God who not only wants to save us, but a God who wants to deliver us, protect us, dwell with us. ...read more

    This is a study of the gospel of Mark regarding the life of Jesus. It is based on my personal study and research of Scripture and many books and sermons I have read over the years. (PREACHED DURING COVID LOCK DOWN)

    GOSPEL OF MARK: GOD’S SERVANT IN ACTION CLEARING THE TEMPLE Good morning family. I hope and pray that everyone is well, and that you are taking care of yourself and your loved ones.

    Gap Standers: The Call To Intercede Series

    Contributed by Charles Jones on May 10, 2025
     | 1,093 views

    When God looks down today, will He find a church full of Gap Standers? Will He find some men and women who won’t let the enemy have their children, their homes, or their communities?

    Gap Standers: The Call to Intercede Text: Ezekiel 22:30 (KJV) “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” Introduction: The Need for Gap Standers Church, I came with a question ...read more

    Breaking The Isolation

    Contributed by James Lee on Oct 31, 2012
     | 7,063 views

    Our community is filled with people who, once were regular fixtures down at the local church. Something was said…an impression was given…grace was denied…and they walked away.

    Have you ever noticed that when we get wounded, we tend to isolate ourselves from others…? Nations build walls of isolation…ancient cities were surrounded by motes and high walls, for the purpose of keeping others out. Many are isolating themselves from the body of Christ and are ...read more

    The Shield Of Faith Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,555 views

    Without a shield, we will falter on the battlefield. With the shield of faith we can ward off attacks. Don’t let your shield down; it receives the blows meant for you. Keep the faith!

    “Above all, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one,” Ephesians 6:16. Some of our forward-deployed soldiers are using Exo-Shield body armor, comprised of a series of contoured, ergonomically designed armor plates for the upper ...read more

    Rejoicing When You Want Fiery Justice Instead!! Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 16, 2023
     | 1,184 views

    John the Baptist sits in jail, waiting for Justice to rain down upon Herod. Meanwhile Christ preaches Good News, rather than wrath. How can we rejoice when there is no justice in this world?

    Good Morning! As someone who grew up in a liturgical church, I realize that Lent and Advent can be easy to confuse. I say the wrong name quite a bit and might accidentally say the wrong name this morning. That’s one of those pastor cliches. My pastor, from our parish down in Baltimore, kept putting ...read more
