     | 489 views

    First, we are created in the image and likeness of God with unlimited potential and creativity and told to have dominion. Second, we can reign in life through Jesus Christ regardless of the environment in the world, country, or the state.

    Sermon: The Call to Reign in Life Through Jesus Christ Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28 “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.

    All the things that Paul had done - all the sacrifices he had made for the Kingdom - all that Luke could have told us about the Life and Ministry of Paul, he spends time to write about this boy named Eutychus who fell asleep and fell out of a 3rd Floor window.

    I give credit to Rev. Dr. F. Bruce Williams for many of the thoughts of this message, not sure of the year. TITLE: THE DANGER OF FALLING ASLEEP IN CHURCH SCRIPTURE: ACTS 20:7-12 This is a very interesting text that presents many Preachers a challenge to apply real practical application. ...read more

    Crises have their advantages. They focus our attention on things we tend to take for granted. Like oil. Now we realize there is no illimitable supply. And how much of it we waste. It’s the same with time.

    The Hope Of A Healthy Child Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 18, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,682 views

    Left to themselves, children tend to grow up wild and untamed. And instead of growing to the full potential, they often grow up wounded and broken adults. What can we do to give them a life filled with hope, peace and a future?

    OPEN: In the 1700s, there was a poet named Samuel Coleridge was talking with a friend who’d come to visit one day. During the conversation they got around to the subject of children. The visitor said “I believe children should be given the freedom to make all their own decisions. Parents should not ...read more

    Do you live in fear? Well it is time to stop. Fear stops us from reaching our true potential but faith is uplifting. Faith in God that is? Try it and see!!

    Be A Matthew

    Unlike the Pharisees, Jesus saw Matthew’s need, his worth and his potential. Matthew understood his own need, was willing to follow Christ and shared the Good News.

    We are going to look at a man called Levi (also called Matthew in Matt 9:9-12). I will use the more familiar name Matthew here. It is surprising that Jesus would even call a tax-collector to follow Him. • Jesus was preparing a group of disciples who would eventually bring the good news about ...read more

    Power Abuse & Half Truths

    Contributed by Carl Greene on Jun 21, 2010

     | 7,136 views

    The story of an honest man, Naboth, killed as a result of an abuse of power and perhaps, because of a king... Ahab ... telling half truths. It also warns of the potential of abuse of power/influence by Christians.

    This is one story of several that trace the confrontation between the prophet Elijah and king Ahab. Ahab is usually a pretty bad guy. These stories have there origins in chapter 17. There, Elijah seems to burst on the scene from out of nowhere, and curses a drought into existence in the presence ...read more

    Inner Desire Series

    Coveting—our envy of another’s possessions and blessings has the potential to destroy our relationship with God and with others. A life of thankfulness and gratitude is commanded instead of coveting.

    Exodus 20:17 “Inner Desires” INTRODUCTION One of the most popular arguments to persuade parents is, “But mom, dad, everyone’s doing it.” How did this work for you when you were young? This is the excuse that we use when confronted by the ninth and tenth ...read more

    Obedience and faith are essential to our Christian lives and witness before others. There is great benefit in following the Lord, and as we do, we have the potential to make an impact on the lives of others.

    The Obedience of Obed-edom 2 Samuel 6: 10-12 Our text today records an event that transpired while David sought to move the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and place it within the Tabernacle.
