    Always Pray And Don't Give Up!

    In the following sermon we are going to learn how our “life psalm” ought to be “alternating verses of praying and praising” with the assurance that our requests given in the will of God, though they be might be delayed, will be granted in His power and sovereignty!

    Always Pray, Do not Give up! Luke 18:1-8 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 “Faith is the furnace of our lives. Its fuel is the grace of God. And the divinely appointed shovel for feeding the burner is prayer. If you lose heart and lay down the shovel, the fire will go ...read more

    Forgetting What Lies Behind

    It hurts when we realize our own failures; but when other people point them out it can be debilitating. This message looks at how Satan tries to hinder God’s people by holding their past over them, and how Paul was able to overcome.

    Have you ever been led to step out in faith and tackle a mission that God placed on your heart? Maybe the Lord asked you to witness to a friend or coworker. Perhaps He asked you to tell a relative about the love of Jesus, or maybe He asked you to surrender to the call to preach or become a ...read more

    A Candidate For An Extreme Makeover

     | 3,466 views

    In his misguided thinking, Saul thought that he was fighting for God. We need an extreme makeover when our actions are fighting against God and innocent people, yet we think we are fighting for God.

    Sermon: A Candidate For An Extreme Makeover Scripture Lesson: Acts 9:1-19 “Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. 2 He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation ...read more

    Establishing A Covenant Series

    When a church begins growing, and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it can result in chaos without established rules. Properly communicated expectations within a membership covenant can hold people accountable.

    If and when we begin sharing our faith and as we begin gaining spiritual territory for the Lord, then our church will grow as more and more people are added. This means we will be in charge of leading those who are new to our fellowship; and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it ...read more

    This is the 4th of 11 Studies in the Book of James and talks about the need to control the use of our tongues, defines pure and undefiled religion and the warns against discrimination against the poor in the church.

    James 1:26 26 “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. After speaking about trials, seeking wisdom, money, temptations and obeying the word of God, James now turns his attention to what it means to be ...read more

    No Perfect People

     | 9,167 views

    Some people believe that Christians are supposed to be and appear perfect, and that the only ones who can attend church are those who “have it all together.” The church is not a country club for saints, but a hospital for sinners.

    Life is hard, and there are many people who are wounded and hurting inside, who are dealing with personal and emotional issues. This is true not only of unbelievers, but Christians as well; but all too often we come to church wearing a mask and putting on a show. People will ask us how we’re ...read more

    The eyewitnesses to the resurrection are trustworthy and modern witnesses can be, too.

    Eyewitnesses About 10 years ago, during a Homicide trial in Nassau County in New York, the prosecution examined their witness on the stand. In his testimony, the witness stated that he saw the victim lying on the ground, obviously dead. When the prosecution had finished, the defense lawyer rose to ...read more

    The Retribution Of God And Combatting Injustice – Retribution Both Swift And Delayed – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 6, 2023
     | 2,041 views

    Christians are not to seek retribution or take vengeance. It belongs to God. We look at the vengeance and retribution of God both swift and delayed. We are bound by time but our God is not. All our lives must rest in His hands. Edom will be the main focus.

    THE RETRIBUTION OF GOD AND COMBATTING INJUSTICE – RETRIBUTION BOTH SWIFT AND DELAYED – PART 2 This series deals with Justice and Injustice and the vengeance of God, and covers a lot of ground. Today we are going to look at swift and delayed retribution, and the decision rests with the Lord God ...read more

    Crossing The Jordan

    When challenged with Jordan like situations that seem overwhelming and impossible to tide over we must not lose heart. When we look back with gratitude, trust God for the impossible and stay grounded on His Word, we too will experience God’s mighty deliverance in our lives.

    For our meditation we will meditate on Joshua 3:13,“When the priests who carry the Covenant Box of the LORD of all the earth put their feet in the water, the Jordan will stop flowing, and the water coming downstream will pile up in one place." (GNB) The place of this incident is at the banks ...read more

    Don’t You Dare Even To Omit A Word, Any Denier Of The Truth! Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 5, 2024
     | 1,449 views

    We can not play games with God for the preaching of His inspired word is so essential, and we become deniers if we omit from our preaching that which we might not find pleasing to ourselves or others. Preaching must not omit a word as Jeremiah learned from the Lord. Be faithful.

    DON’T YOU DARE EVEN TO OMIT A WORD, ANY WHO WOULD DENY THE TRUTH! [1]. INTRODUCTION Some events in the Christian world cause me distress when I learn of them for there are too many practices that are downright dishonouring to God. Those of you who listen to me or read what I write will know I ...read more

    Avoiding False Teachers

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 1, 2024
     | 808 views

    As we continue in our series on Jesus' letters to the seven churches, we find ourselves looking at the words Jesus has to say to the church in Thyatira, how they have some good things, but they tolerate false teachings in the church.

    Good morning, beloved congregation! It's a joy to be here with you, standing on the solid ground of God's truth, ready to open His Word together. We are not here by accident, but by divine appointment. And we are not here to hear the words of a man, but to hear from the God who fashioned ...read more

    That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

    Arguments to consider when studying Partial Preterism The booklet promotes the theory that all (or most) of the events prophesied in the New Testament (including those in Revelation) were fulfilled in the past, specifically in 70 AD. The idea is that with the Roman siege of Jerusalem and ...read more
