    The message of Christ is a life-changing message! It can open the eyes blinded by sin. It can straighten the limbs withered by iniquity. It can cleanse away the leprosy of the soul. It can bring new life into a dead spirit. Jesus has the power to set men free!

    Acts 4:13-20 WE MUST TELL IT ALL May 15, 2022 On 1st Sunday we preached just prior to this passage, where Peter and John had been used of the Lord to heal a beggar who sat at the gate of the Temple called Beautiful. The Jews were amazed, and Peter used their ...read more

     | 6,335 views

    Let us consider: GOOD FOR NOTHING... fire wood or fruit trees? If we have no roots there will be no fruits. You will be known by the fruit you bear. 4 degrees of fruit: no fruit, fruit, more fruit, much fruit.

    GOOD FOR NOTHING? NO ROOTS NO FRUITS?? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com UNDERSTANDING THE JOURNEY?

    It isn’t Zaccheaus size or that he climbed the tree that matters, it is that he was willing to come down and meet Jesus and transform his life.

    Zacchaeus’ story reminds me of a song made popular by Randy Newman called short people: Short people got no reason Short people got no reason Short people got no reason To live They got little hands And little eyes And they walk around Tellin’ great big lies They got little ...read more

    It is all Adam’s fault. Blame him, he did it; you did not eat of that tree, so why are you suffering? Fortunately, Christ repaired the damage that Adam did.

    THE STORY OF GOD: THE FIRST AND SECOND ADAM THEME: CHRIST REPAIRED THE DESTRUCTION OF ADAM’S SIN TEXT: ROMANS 5:12-21 She stepped into the 2006 Mustang Convertible. It was her first car.

    Despair looks within itself, and the heart withers. Hope looks outside oneself, and the heart rejoices. Hope sees a future where despair cannot see past the present circumstances. Join us as we look at our Biblical Hope on this first Sunday of Advent 2

    Voices of Hope - Isaiah 64:1-9 – December 2, 2012 Several years ago a teacher assigned to visit children in a large city hospital received a routine call requesting that she visit a particular child.

    Parable Of The Mustard Seed

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 22, 2015
     | 5,119 views

    To get a better understanding of what this story teaches, I am going to take this apple, cut it open, and take out the seeds. There are five seeds in my apple. Now, imagine that we planted these seeds and each grew into an apple tree. How many apples do you think each tree might grow/produce?

    Parable of the Mustard Seed Mark 4:30-32 Living Bible (TLB) 30 Jesus asked, “How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story shall I use to illustrate it? 31-32. It is like a tiny mustard seed!

    Zacchaeus, the tree-climbing tax collector, met Jesus and was changed. He vowed to repay four times the amount of money he had dishonestly taken form others. This is the first of a series of messages on grace.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,522 views

    In Genesis 11 we have the family tree of Shem, but only 3 women are mentioned by name - very Chauvinistic to our modern way of thinking!

    Genesis 11 - Part 5 - SO, IS GOD A CHAUVINIST? Being an only son not only meant growing up in a house full of women, but also it meant that I was the last of the Cochrane's in my family line. I carried on the name of Cochrane when I had a son. My son's wife is about to have a son. This means that ...read more

    Let It Go Series

     | 6,969 views

    Some people get depressed when they see the trees losing their leaves in autumn. Some even say that the trees look sad. Autumn though shows us how beautiful it is to let things go. We need to consider what, in our lives, we need to drop in order to heal our souls, move forward in our lives and grow.

    source: http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/weatherjokes/falljokes.html Why does Humpty Dumpty love autumn? Because he had a great fall! Why are trees very forgiving? Because in fall they “let it go” and in the spring, they “turn over a new leaf.” Fall is a time of transition. There are ...read more

    Paul spends a lot of time on justification because our nature tries to clothe ourselves with righteousness in the form of fig leaves, but we are not truly clothed with righteousness until God does the clothing. Link inc. to formatted text, audio, PowerPoi
