    Spying is a dangerous business. It’s a practice that’s probably been around as long as men and countries have gone to war against each other.

     | 1,548 views

    In 1 Thes 2:13-3:13, Paul gives us a wonderful model of an encourager, demonstrating the many ways in which we can encourage one another.

    I. Acts 17 gives us an account of Paul’s preaching of the gospel in Thessalonica. A. During his Second Missionary Journey, having just been arrested on false charges, beaten, jailed, and run out of town in Philippi, Paul and his companions came to Thessalonica.

    Creating A Refuge Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,299 views

    Claiming new spiritual territory is difficult. All who seek to follow Jesus in faithful obedience while walking in hostile territory need a place of refuge. It’s up to the body of Christ to create that safe haven for both ourselves and others.

    Conquering the land, or claiming new spiritual territory, involves grueling spiritual labor. We will encounter resistance, or even minor persecution, when sharing the message of salvation in Jesus Christ; and we can grow weary if we do not have times of refreshing. We’ve got to find a safe haven ...read more

     | 2,834 views

    In the first miracle in Mark 5, we see Jesus set free the man who was possessed by many demons. We see the sad reaction of the people of that region and learn the sad truth that some people choose the swine over the Savior. We also learn that everyone has a testimony.

    Introduction: A. Let’s start with a question: Are there certain places you don’t like to go when it’s dark? 1. How about down in the basement? Out in the woods? Down a dark road? Or into a cemetery? 2. During my elementary school years, we lived on the northeast side of Syracuse and around the ...read more

    Sermon - The Paradox Of Biblical Faith

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 15, 2024

    Believers today must likewise persevere in faith and trust God, even when they do not see all the promises of God fulfilled in their lives. The faith that pleases God is a faith that can surrender God's promises back to Him and trust God for their fulfillment according to His will.

    Subject: The Paradox of Biblical Faith Scripture Text: Hebrews 11:13-16 "All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on ...read more

    Jesus offers true rest and mercy, reminding us that God’s compassion outweighs rigid rules and that Sabbath is a gift meant to restore weary souls.
