     | 20,976 views

    Elisha and his servant were surrounded by the Syrian army. The servant was fearful, seeing only the enemy. Elisha was confident, seeing the host of God about them. We tend to see only the adversity, but fail to see God. He is able to meet our needs.

    Eyes of Faith, not Sight 2 Kings 6: 15-20 During this time Israel faced numerous attacks from the Syrians. Each time Syria’s king planned an attack, the Lord gave Elisha insight to their plans and he was able to warn Israel. Knowing someone was sharing their plans with the Israelites, the king ...read more

    Do you remember the restaurant scene from the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? The snooty manager wasn’t going to let Ferris and his friends have a table because they didn’t have a reservation.

    A Good Friday sermon.

    FIRST WORD: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34 I don’t suppose you’re surprised to hear Jesus forgive. That’s what he came to do. It was his mission just as a UN peacekeeper’s mission is to keep the peace, not stir up trouble. But what did Jesus mean: “…forgive ...read more

    God is our Rock -- our Refuge, shade from heat, source of Living Water. Like a mountain, He's unchanging, solid, permanent, and stable. If you base your life on Him, you won't be subject to the instability all around you in this world!

    JEHOVAH-TSURI Gen. 49:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: REAL DISCIPLESHIP? 1.

    An inspiring teaching on the purpose and power of fasting from the New Testament perspective. It also features a helpful guide for effective fasting.

    Confessing sin is more than just speaking words; it may involve a broken heart. The mature Christian and those living close to God, recognize that their sin is degrading and offensive to a Holy God. Deep sorrow will flow from the heart when sin is confe

    What would happen if we unleashed ourselves to take the truth to a lost world? Is my life being confined within boundaries, could I be convicted of being a Christian?

    Tracy and I were riding our bike and we passed a house that had a little dog running at us full speed. All of a sudden he stopped he had come to the end of his leash and just barked at us. What if he could go outside his boundaries, what if he were unleashed? Questions starting coming to ...read more

     | 14,341 views

    Many times those who serve in obscurity are overlooked, but provide a tremendous impact to the body of Christ. We must encourage those who serve in the shadows to continue for the Lord.

    Series: Serving in the Shadows # 1 Being a Barnabas Acts 11: 19-26 Our text today speaks of a man, who although not obscure in the Scriptures, is often found serving in the shadows.

     | 14,829 views

    Every believer is called to be a disciple of Christ. It is up to us individually to heed the call to follow the Lord as His disciples.

    The Call to Discipleship Matthew 4:19 As much as it hurts to admit, I truly believe the church has failed miserably in one vital area of ministry. Throughout the 80’s and 90’s there was a concerted effort to reach unbelievers with the Gospel, and the church rose to the call to ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 27,147 views

    Many initially are willing to follow the Lord, but fail to count the cost. Upon realizing the great sacrifice necessary to follow Him, many are unwilling to pay the price. We must count the cost and be willing to pay the price in service to the Lord.

    The Cost of Discipleship Luke 14: 25-33 I am certainly thankful for the free gift of salvation. Christ paid our sin debt, reconciling us to God in salvation. This gift is freely available to all who receive it by faith. Salvation is free, but our service to the Lord is costly. If we are unwilling ...read more

     | 7,067 views

    Many are skeptical of the church because of perceived hypocrites. How do we obtain credibility in our witness to others? How do live and walk in such a way to be an effective witness? We must walk in Christ to possess the credibility we need.

    The Credibility in Discipleship Ephesians 5:1-2; John 13:34-35 We have spent several weeks discussing the importance and need for discipleship. In the Great Commission, Jesus commanded us to teach all nations to observe His teachings. In essence, those who follow Christ as His disciples are ...read more

     | 8,676 views

    Those who are in Christ are aware of the dangers and consequences of sin, and yet most today are unwilling to confront it. While we must work with compassion, we also have an obligation to address sin and deal with it in our lives.

    Seeing Sin for What it Is 1 John 3: 4-10 Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman used to tell of a Methodist preacher who often spoke on the subject of sin. He minced no words, but defined sin as “that abominable thing that God hates.” A leader in his congregation came to him on one occasion and urged ...read more

     | 11,279 views

    Love is a powerful force and motivator in our lives. Love compels us to act, affecting our lives and our behavior toward others. Love motivated Christ to bear our sin on the cross. Genuine love has the power to transform lives.

    The Evidence of Godly Love 1 John 4: 17-21 There are three words we never tire of hearing: I love you. No doubt we all have spoken those words many times in our lives, and I am sure we have been sincere, hopefully most of the time. I do fear there are times when words are empty though. We may ...read more
