    To receive God’s plan for our lives we must be convinced that His way is better and that means we must absolutely believe God is good, gives only good things to us, and does only good things for us.

    Contributed by Todd Blair on Dec 30, 2013
     | 8,576 views

    When the first thing you do is seek Him and His Kingdom and His righteousness, then you realize that God really can be trusted. And your worries, especially about temporal things like money and stuff just start to disappear.

    How many of you enjoy wasting time? I don't mean doing things that are just not constructive like watching TV or reading a comic book. I mean how many of you like to just sit and do absolutely nothing, especially when there are things that need to be done? Very few people would say they enjoy doing ...read more

    There are a lot of things that we can learn from Peter. This morning though I want to ask you to be reminded of just one thing. What transformed Peter from an unstable man into a man of courage? The grace of God and the power of the resurrection!

    Transformed By Grace, Acts 2:14a, 22-32 Introduction During the first and second centuries, the symbol of Christianity was the fish. A present-day Christian decided that a fishhook would be the proper emblem for a soul-winner to use for winning people to Christ, so he had a little golden fishhook ...read more

    God gave all good things for us to enjoy. However God gave boundaries for all the good things. Sex and sexaual intimacy were divinely desinged to be enjoyed within the confines of the covenant commitment of marriage. This commandments is clear be faith

    Intro: If you were to talk to the normal person on the street about marital faithfulness they would probably laugh you off the sidewalk. Yet God shows us again and again that the roadway to a healthy marriage must be paved with sexual fidelity. It is amazing to me that God can take math and turn ...read more

    It seems to me that God is doing 4 things. Now, I'm sure He is doing much more than that. But in regards to the church it seems there are 4 things God is doing that have great impact on the church today.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK I think that there is nothing more exciting than discovering what God is doing in our world today. But I don't want just to hear about what God is doing, or to read about it in some ...read more

    Have you ever had "one of those days?" One of those days; when there was a hint that things were not going to go well? One of those days when one bad thing after another seems to hit you?

    God's Plan For Faith

    Contributed by David Scudder on Sep 5, 2010
     | 3,616 views

    Last time we learned that the purpose of faith was to make the invisible things of God real and to produce confidence in God's promises. Today we'll learn that real faith in God produces three very important things in a believer's life.

    Hebrews 11:4 & Genesis 4:3-14 Purpose: To learn how faith saves and what it does after salvation. Aim: I want the listener to be sure they are submitting by faith to God for forgiveness.

    Total Surrender

    What does total surrender to the Lord look like? Is it grudgingly doing things you don't want to do and avoiding things that you would like to do but know you can't. Or is it being like minded in Christ?

    Total surrender Selected Scripture Some of the context of this sermon was gleaned from ideas and illustrations found on SermonCentral.
