    When you put your faith in Christ, you will experience pressure and you will be tried but you will also have God who will not only give you the strength to persevere but us them tomold you, to make you more righteous.

    For the next couple of weeks, I thought we would take a close look at what has been called the “Achilles’ Heel” of Christianity. What is our “Achilles’ Heel,” you might ask? It is the question of pain and suffering. The Barna Group, founded in 1984, is a marketing research firm focused on the ...read more

    What is it that you have been destined for?

    The news has been filled in recent days with a little boy, Elian Gonzalas. Tonight, as I speak on destiny, I wonder what the destiny of this young six-year old is? And as much as we would sit around the table and discuss his circumstances, and his plight in life, I wonder how much time we ...read more

    Having No Fear

    Fear is a part of the human condition; however, our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of the false securities that we’ve built up through our occupations, activities, or the many masks we wear.

    Our sermon this evening is entitled, “Having No Fear.” I recall how back in the 1990’s there was a popular brand of clothing with the brand name No Fear. I read an Internet article from that same time period, which says the No Fear slogan “has come to symbolize a ‘cutting edge’ lifestyle” and has ...read more

    Part 2 in a series about responding to tough questions. Part 1 examined other religions. This sermon responds to the question, How could God allow Suffering?

    What about Suffering? In 2005 some friends of mine were pregnant with their first child. They happened to be studying at college at the time, with the intention of going into Asia to preach the gospel after they had given birth. About 6 months into their pregnancy they found out that there were ...read more

    It was part of Jesus’ plan to slowly reveal His true purpose and nature - and this chapter reveals to us that even though we have doubts, Jesus is there to help us believe!

    A refresher on the subject of truth and how important it is to have that sorted out in life

    How’s your bucket list?

    Text: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). Story: “Show Much Have You?” A friend tells of overhearing two little girls, playmates, who were counting over their pennies. One said, “I have five pennies.” The other said, “I have ...read more

    When the end comes, it will become clear who those people are whose faith is truly in Jesus, and it will become clear who those are who have been just playing a religious game.

    When I was a kid, weeding the garden was one of my least favorite activities. It was often hot out there and my back would hurt from bending over. Worst of all, I thought it was monotonous work, so often I did not pay real close attention to what I was doing. And, sure enough, I would sometimes ...read more

    We need a fresh infilling of the power of the Holy Ghost if we are going to have anything to give to a lost and dying world.

    SUCH AS I HAVE… by Pastor James May There are so many times when we feel inadequate to the task that God has set before us. How often do we find ourselves at a loss for words in times of tragedy? How many times do we feel absolutely helpless in the face of overwhelming grief in the loss of a ...read more

    The Angels: We Have Heard On High Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Dec 16, 2019
     | 4,578 views

    With all the emphasis on angels during the Christmas season, we need to sort out what the Bible says about what angels are, what angels do, and what part they play in the Christmas story.

    Please hear these words from Luke 1:26-38 26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed[a] to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David.

    You have to be careful who and what you imitate. The results could be deadly. In life there are good examples and bad examples. People need to choose between the two. But even with warnings against bad examples, some people just don't seem to learn.

    Where we see a problem, God sees potential for a miracle. We just have to have the nerve to ask God to do the impossible.
