Seeing And Hearing Again

Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on May 16, 2013

The Bible says our hearts, like that of the Pharisees, can get calloused against God. It is not intentional, but our hearts get dull. We have to recondition them and reopen our eyes to see Him afresh.

Eyes to See The Pharisees were trained and schooled to recognize God, to hear His voice and to know what God was saying. They looked for something that was so obviously close, but never saw Him. When He actually came on that Christmas, they did not even recognize Him. In fact, even when He spoke, ...read more

Finding Confidence In The Desert

Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on May 16, 2013

For one and a half years, David went to live with the Philistines. It is during this time that we can learn valuable lessons about confidence in the desert. We can also gain understanding in the ways God deals with us and changes our hearts to bring us ba

Saul was jealous of David and all his successes, so he pursued him relentlessly for a long period of time. David had his chances to kill Saul and claim the throne that God had promised him, but he refused.

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on May 29, 2013

I don’t want to be too hard on Jezebel this morning, so let me tell you that she was born with some great abilities and qualities. However, she elected to use them in the wrong fashion.

Christ Is Preached

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Oct 26, 2012

A group wanted Paul to justify and help them pick and choose who they felt had Proper and Improper motives when it came to Preaching the Word of God. Paul redirected their focus and rejoiced that Christ is Preached, focus not on the motive but the Word

TITLE: CHRIST IS PREACHED SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 1:15-18 (Main thought from Pastor Darrin Hunt 2006 sermon central message which I have expanded upon) I recall reading a story a few years ago, about an event that transpired the year I graduated High School, matter of fact, in 1979 – Story ...read more

TITLE: LEAP YEAR SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 1:41 This is a text that is ordinarily preached during the Advent Season or Christmas Holy Day period. However; the text is powerful and makes for dynamic preaching anytime during the year. I must admit when the Holy Spirit began to deal with me in ...read more

Almost Saved

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jul 21, 2013

This, to me, is one of the saddest incidents in the entire Bible. Looking upon this narrative we can see that this is an example of God reaching out to the sin stained heart of a man to give that man a chance to be saved.

TITLE: ALMOST SAVED SCRIPTURE: ACTS 26:19-29 Can I talk to you this morning about the subject – Almost Saved? ALMOST - is a sad word in anybody’s dictionary. It keeps company with expressions like “If Only” and (in the South) “Near ‘Bout’ Almost is a ...read more

Priority Check - Priority Of Others Series

Contributed by Wayne Mock on Feb 2, 2011

While it is normal for many to have a primary concern for self, followers of Christ are to give priority to others above self.

While most people agree to the importance of commitment, do believers really believe the importance of complete commitment to Christ?

Twenty-nine years ago tomorrow, January 10, there was quite a football game in Cincinnati, OH between the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals. This was the AFC Championship Game.

Priority Of Concern Series

Contributed by Wayne Mock on Feb 4, 2011

People can have many priorities. Jesus expects His followers to have priorities based on His value system, not the value system of the world.
