Throughout history the Old and New Testaments have shown themselves to be reliable and true; they rise up to outlive their pallbearers, if you will. The following story probably stirs my own confidence in the power of God's Word and His sovereignty more than any other. Let me share part of it with you…

Text: 1 Corinthians 9:16-17----1Cor 9:16 (KJS) For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed…

By Pastor Glenn Pease Florence Banks in her book Coins Of Bible Days says that the handling of ancient coins does with time what radio and TV do with space. There are hundreds of miles between us and California, but TV eliminates those miles, and puts people there in our presence here. So Bible days…

April 19, 2015 Intro – A man and wife were in the grocery store discussing some expensive tomatoes when a 6.6 earthquake hit.

In preaching through Isaiah’s Prophecy, we’ve entered a segment of the Foretelling where the Prophet has looked 140 years into the future and sees Judah in captivity in Babylon. The nation has been destroyed. The city of Jerusalem lies in ruins. The Temple of the Lord has been looted and torched. The…

God’s Word can: 1. give you a heavenly view of your heart. 2. give spiritual birth to your soul. 3. give you a clear view of Christ. 4. give you a firmer grip on your faith.

Attributes are qualities or characteristics of a person or thing. Since we are talking about the attributes of God, in relation to God, A. W. Tozer says, An attribute of God is whatever God has in any way revealed as being true of Himself. Although general revelation is able to give us a glimpse of God’s…

We all live our lives according to some standard. The question is are we living according to God's standard or some other standard. This sermon looks at how we can "Do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus."

Consecrate yourself to God, deal with your heart, surrender to God. It is painful and vulnerable dealing with the heart but it opens us up to victory.

As our complete pattern and example, Jesus was born "among his brethren" and "made in all points like we are", "learned obedience from the things which He suffered", thereby perfecting his character. He then died, was resurrected by God, judged and glorified. This pattern shows what we have to look forward to as well! Today, we focus on the resurrection as it pertains to God's plan, and in particular from Job's point of view. We take his perspective since it helps to underscore the fact that this was God's plan from the beginning - even before Jesus was born. Job prophesied about a redeemer, speaking of Him as though he already was. We are ALL mortal, and will eventually die – nothing we can do except be servants of God, then we’ll have hope in a future resurrection. Join us to learn about Job’s heartfelt, overwhelming joy as he looked forward to a full bodily resurrection, and the evidence that backs this!

Today we discover the importance the Jewish people of Nehemiah's time placed upon scripture reading and gathering as a body to hear the word of God publically read. How much more as believers should we appreciate the word of God as it has the power to change and transform us as we yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit?

Faithfulness. We want to take you on a spiritual journey and hopefully by the end of the year you will be able to look back and say look what the Lord has done.... We are spirit beings that have a body. Aim at heaven and you get heaven and you get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. This…
