    The prodigal son is an example of how much God loves us and will welcome us back into His presence. What can we learn about God and what can we apply to our loves concerning His love and forgiveness.

    Adam Where Are You PRO Sermon

     | 2,405 views

    The main point of this sermon is to emphasize God's Fatherly Love, the importance of obedience, and the consequences of disobedience as seen in the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

    Even in our moments of disobedience and failure, God is still calling out to us, desiring to bring us back into relationship with Him. We were designed to walk with Him. We were created to adore Him and follow Him. And we are happiest and most fulfilled when we live in alignment with how He made ...read more

    Abiding In Perfect Love

     | 5,764 views

    It is the desire of the heavenly Father for His people always to experience the full inheritance of His covenant love and mercy. The Apostle John calls such a place of attainment in God “perfect love”.

    It is truly amazing to think of the mercy and forbearance that God bestows upon sinners. Undoubtedly, the Lord has the power to cut off our very existence. The Scripture affirms, “Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust” (Psalm ...read more

    While on the cross, Jesus made seven utterances and the first word of " fire " of those statements was " Father forgive them for they know not what they do.

    The odds may looked stacked in the favor of evil, but Elijah is about to experience the truth that one plus God is a majority.

    Introduction: This passage has it setting when the spiritual tide in Israel is at an extremely low ebb. The people have, for the most part, turned their backs on the Lord and have gone after the Canaanite god Baal. It is against this backdrop of apostasy and idolatry that the prophet Elijah ...read more

    Set Apart For The Lord

    Moses demonstrates what it means to be set apart for the Lord. We not only are stand apart from sin, we are also to call others to stay away from sin.

    Does June 11 seem like a distant memory? It was only 40 days ago, but it probably seems like a lifetime for this congregation. On June 11 we had just started to lay tile in the sanctuary. On that same day one contractor stood among the construction chaos and said, “You want to be open by June ...read more

    Was the spirit that was supposedly summoned up by the witch of Endor really the deceased Prophet Samuel, or was it a demon? There are many different opinions on the matter; my personal opinion is that it was a demon.

    In America alone, there are approximately four hundred sects and cults, and most ALL of them claim to base their doctrines on the Word of God. This is IMPOSSIBLE!

    These cults make you think of all these translations, paraphrases and perversions of the Word of God that are on the market today. They all claim to be the Word of God, but they differ in their translations of the scriptures. So how can they all be the Word of God? Also, we cannot possibly believe ...read more

    The “fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight” or understanding. This “fear” is a reverential regard for God who has communicated His will and purpose to us and to whom we are accountable for our actions.
