    Jesus invites us to bring our deepest, honest desires to Him in prayer, trusting His compassion and power to transform our lives.

    If you could hear Jesus ask you one question today—face to face, heart to heart—what would you hope He’d ask? And if He asked, “What do you want me to do for you?” what would rise to your lips before you could filter it—before fear, pride, or past disappointments edited your answer? Some of us ...read more

    The Only Time Some People Love Truth Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,173 views

    Jesus' hometown is initially intrigued by His message, but that goes south quickly. What can we learn from them about our desire for truth?

    AMAZED: Nazareth was initially impressed with Jesus’ words. - Luke 4:22. - Review the message in vv. 18-19. - There is a mix in their reaction. - On the one hand, they are impressed. - On the other hand, they wonder how such words could come from Joseph’s son. After all, Jesus had been among ...read more

     | 10,157 views

    God always answers our prayers. But He may not answer them the way that we desire. This sermon examines some reasons for God’s response to us.

    September 23, 2001 John 11 “God’s three answers to prayer” INTRODUCTION 1. God says “yes” to some requests. We like that. We respond well to that. In the passage that we looked at last week, Acts 4, the disciples received exactly what they asked for. They asked for boldness to continue ...read more

    What Does The Bible Mean That We Are Not To Judge Others?

    Contributed by John Ong on Sep 22, 2017
     | 5,937 views

    Nobody would ever forgive anyone for wrongs he had done; we only forgive people for what we accuse them, and we blame them only after we have judged them.

    In three powerful and straightforward words, Jesus commanded us, “Do not judge.” Let’s look into this Bible verse to see the whole context of what God is telling us: “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be ...read more

    "Finding True Rest In An Uncomfortable Situation!"

    based on 37 ratings
     | 23,289 views

    One of the greatest desires we have as a people is to go through things that are uncomfortable & still be comfortable.. Peter shows us in this text just how to do that.

    Acts 12:1-7 Ushers, let the worshippers in that they may hear the word of the Lord. You may be seated in the prescense of the Lord. Amen. I want to take a strange twist on this text this morning if I may. Many of you have probably heard this text preached before in terms of being delivered or ...read more

    The Lord Helped Him

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on May 21, 2012
     | 7,386 views

    King Jehosphaphat cried out to God for help and the Lord answered him. We cry out to God in prayer and desire for the Lord to answer our prayers as well.

    I found another wonderful story of life changing prayer this morning. The story is found in two Old Testament passages – I Kings 22:32 and 2 Chronicles 18:31. It is interesting to me that the wording of both passages is almost the same which might indicate they used a common resource. What is ...read more

    Are you easily distracted? Do you get a sense that distraction is a big part of our lives whether we know it or not, and whether we want it to be or not? And, what’s wrong with being distracted?

    “Distracted from distraction by distraction / Filled with fancies and empty of meaning / Tumid apathy with no concentration . . .” - T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets Are you easily distracted? Do you get a sense that distraction is a big part of our lives whether we know it or not, and ...read more

    We live to follow certain core desires that exist beneath the surface of who we are. It seems like many people live for self-gratification.
