    Iron Heavens, Brass Earth

    Contributed by Babatunmishe Oke on Feb 18, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,772 views

    One of the worst situations a human can experience is what we call iron heavens and brass earth. God is always particular about the consequences of idol worship.

    Leviticus 26 26 ‘You shall not make idols for yourselves; neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves; nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God. 14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these ...read more

    Jesus help us to answer the question, "Why am I here?" as He restores Peter.

    Jesus, the God-man: Gospel of John “Saved to Serve” John 21:15-25 Introduction: Several years ago I taught a drama class for a home school group. One of the things I taught them is the actor always needed to know his motivation in a scene. In other words, “Why am I doing what I ...read more

    When It's Hard To Pray, Pray Harder!" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 20, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,983 views

    It would be my guess that the most powerful prayer that Jonah ever prayed was in the belly of a fish. It’s possible that the most powerful prayer you have ever prayed was when you were in trouble as well. If crisis drives us to pray that's a good thing!

    When it’s hard to pray, Pray Harder! Jonah 2:1-10 Sometimes what you think might do you in will be the one thing that saves you. Sometimes the worst possible thing that can happen to you is exactly what you need. Sometimes the thing you fear the most is the very thing that will turn your ...read more

    What About Israel? (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Oct 1, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,479 views

    This is the twelfth message in a series over Romans 6-11. The series examines how we now live under God's grace. This message is the first of a two part message that examines God's plan for Israel.

    Introduction: Has God rejected the nation of Israel? That’s the million dollar question, Christians and politicians struggle with what exactly to do about Israel. To be honest, this is a question that I struggle with. However, I take comfort that I am in good company because the apostle Paul ...read more

    Blessed?

     | 9,155 views

    Where do you look to for evidence of God's blessing? Are you looking to the right places? Jesus tells us to look to some rather unusual places to find his blessing while also providing us with a list of warnings.

    How are you doing this morning? There used to be a man who when he walked into church on Sunday mornings and I asked him how he was doing, he would respond with a single word. He would say, “Blessed!” Every week he said the same thing. How many of us would give that response today? Maybe all ...read more

    If we are not careful how we deal with storms, we will be left sitting and staring out in space.

    STORMS INTRODUCTION The problems began when Chippie’s owner decided to clean Chippie’s cage with a vacuum cleaner. She removed the attachment from the end of the hose and stuck it in the cage. The phone rang, and she turned to pick it up. She’d barely said "hello" when ...read more

    We are not saved by works but a life that is changed and for Jesus is a life that will be about spreading the good news.

    Holy Spirit active in our lives Acts 2:1-6 Good morning everyone, glad that you have joined us either in service or online. 50 days after Easter, we celebrate Pentecost. The birth of the church and the birth of Jesus empowering the church to do what it was called to do and ...read more

    Glory Of Christian Leadership

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 724 views

    Many people treated Jesus like a celebrity as they followed Him from place to place, listened to His teaching, observed His miracles, and sought healing from His touch. Yet Jesus was never self-important or aloof, but available to all.

    Opening illustration: In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, it isn’t surprising that entrepreneurs are marketing “celebrities as products … allowing them to sell their personal time and attention.” Vauhini Vara’s article in The New Yorker noted that for $15,000, you can have a personal meeting ...read more

    Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch – Excluded? Series

    Contributed by Roberta Karchner on May 1, 2024
     | 1,598 views

    This series is about feeling included. The Ethiopian Eunuch was excluded from the temple for three reasons. He was a stranger. He didn't look like them (black skin). He was a Eunuch.

    Scripture: Acts 8:26-40 Since Easter, we have been covering the times Jesus appeared in person to continue to turn the world upside down. To put this passage in context, we need to start with where it is in the account of the early church. It began with everyone hanging out together, all of the ...read more

    If We Ever Needed To See God

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Feb 7, 2021
     | 4,064 views

    We face trying times. This is no time to be afraid or be ashamed. But we cannot do this in ourselves. We need to see a vision of God.

    When We Really Need to See God Mark 9:2-9 Transfiguration Sunday comes every year just before Ash Wednesday. There are only three Gospel texts which tell about the Transfiguration, so it becomes a challenge to repeat a story we have heard so many times. The accounts are quite similar. Luke adds ...read more

    Do You Really Know God?

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 8, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,106 views

    Many people in the world today know ABOUT God, but don't really KNOW Him personally. Most people when they say they know God, mean they've heard of Him and about Him. But don't really know Him. My question to you today is, "Do YOU REALLY know God?"

    We live in a self-important society. We take personality tests. We use social media to broadcast what is on our mind. We hear slogans that tell us we’re due something or we deserve a reward. But, in order to live in such a way that God is most glorified, we must pursue a greater knowledge of Him. ...read more

    This is the only parable which actually names a character. What does this mean?

    The Parable of Lazarus and the rich Man Luke 16:19-31 The “Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man” is one of Jesus’ most well-known parables. It has been used by those who would show that Jesus taught about hell. Jesus taught that hell and eternal punishment were real. There are those who try to ...read more

    There are a multitude of ideas about who Jesus is outside of those who are true disciples of Jesus Christ. But, there is only one True Jesus and Belief and Faith in Him is essential for eternal life. Some may make Jesus the way they WANT Him to be but that will only lead to destruction.
