     | 7,035 views

    If we will maintain a direction of love by stepping up, join up, pay up, give up, and God up we will never lose our bearings.

    Romans 13:8-14 “Don’t Lose Your Bearings?” Max Lucado visited Manhattan on 9/21/01, ten days after life was dramatically altered by planes tearing into the Pentagon and The World Trade Center Towers. While he was there a friend asked a taxi driver how he had been affected by the tragedy. He ...read more

    A sermon that stresses the importance of staying in the word and remaining prayerful. Otherwise, we are weak and then the enemy will try and tear us down and strip us of all our joy.

    Text: Ezekiel 37:1-3,7-10 (NIV) 1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry 3 He ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,231 views

    Never consider anyone hopeless. Pray intensely, watch out for the naysayers or for your own negativity, and then participate in the redemption Christ wants to bring.

    He’s just hopeless! She is beyond redemption! I am never going to make it! They have no future whatsoever! They are hopeless! Are you ever tempted to speak like that? Do you ever feel that way about somebody, maybe even about yourself? Hopeless? Watch out. Because there is nothing more ...read more

    Patience remembers the ownership of God on the project at hand, and digs deep to please the Lord in whatever is undertaken for Him. If it is His work, it has His results and His guarantee, but it requires our faithful patience to continue when logic, conv

    Saints Are Just Sinners Who Fall Down And Get Back Up

    based on 14 ratings
     | 48,289 views

    Help believers understand that the Bible doesn’t teach sinless perfection; but rather endurance, perservering to the end and being an overcomer is what it’s all about.

    MICAH 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me. THE SAINTS ARE JUST THE SINNERS WHO FALL DOWN AND GET UP In our modern day vernacular we have made the term “SAINT” synonymous with perfection. If someone: Lives a ...read more

    As a body of believers we are encouraged to rise up, build up, and work up in the strength of the Lord.

    By: R. AuBuchon Jr. In the past two weeks we have been invited to get in the boat and work together as a team.

    Built Up, Bound Up, Lifted Up

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 16, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,159 views

    We are so into upward mobility; but God's version is different. It involves building us up so that the powerless have power; binding up the wounded so that they can understand brokenness; and lifting us up so that we can use our power for others.

    I can remember when the word "furlough" was a happy word. It was a happy word because it meant that somebody in your family was coming home from military duty for a while. "Furlough" for me brings up a memory of standing, as a small boy, in Union Station in Louisville, waiting for the train to ...read more

    Lord Teach Us To Pray - Part One

    David’s life is an example for all of us not just with his experiences in life, but (as well) his experiences in prayer. If there was anyone in the Bible who really understood the ups and downs of prayer it had to have been David.

    LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY Introduction: Last week we considered the differences between a little boy named David and a great king, named Saul. If you remember, King Saul had been told the Word of God by the prophet Samuel. But King Saul disobeyed Samuel and the Word of the Lord. The result was ...read more

    We as Christians… Ought to be jumping up-and-down, screaming and shouting, singing God's praises 24 hours a day as to what He has given us and made available for us on a Non stop basis!!!!........

     | 3,067 views

    I’m sure of one thing, no one jumps up and down when the Lord calls them to a place they have never been, or like me, you go scratching, clawing and crying to hang on to where you are

    GO WHERE? Genesis 12:1-4 Now the Lord had said to Abraham: “Get out of your country, from your kindred from your fathers house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, ...read more

    We are going to see 3 things about the early church; first they got fed-up with the world, then they got filled-up with the Spirit, and then they got fired-up to witness.
