What Does Christmas Mean To You

He gave us the ability to choose between good and evil. When sin entered the world, in the garden,…
It’s Time To Seek The Lord
Text: Hosea 10:12-14; Haggai 2:1-8 When we forget God, we’re not standing still. We are either moving forward in the things of God or moving backward in the things of the world.

Are You Ready?

Jesus is REAL! Jesus is ALIVE! Jesus is coming back! ARE YOU READY to meet Him?
The Temple Must Be Holy
Text: Malachi 1:6-10; John 2:13-17 God is a God of order. When God tells us to do something, we must do it! Obedience is in what we do. He wants us to honor and obey Him. When we don’t do this, we are saying we don’t believe He is worthy of our best. Everything we do for the Lord should be our best. God takes no pleasure in us when we don’t give 100%. Everything we do is tied to…
Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice

What To Do In Case Of Emergencies
Text: 2 Chronicles 20:1-12; 22-30 In case of emergencies, we have a blueprint to follow. It’s the Word of God. Sometimes, people don’t want to hear the truth. The Gospel is convicting and we don’t like being convicted. It should bring about correction in our lives. In case of emergencies, we need to: Seek the Lord (His will) Pray (Pour out your heart to God) Praise God (Thank Him in the midst of the emergency for what He has done.)…
Seeking To Save The Lost
Text: Luke 15:1-32; Luke 19:10 Your only source shouldn’t be what comes from the preacher. We need to be in the Word, study the Word, and know the Word! Stay with the Word! That’s our Source! Sometimes we’re too “religious” and stay away from the “unreligious”. . .they’re “sinners”. But, Jesus ate with the unsaved. He had fellowship with them. He is our example. We are to fellowship with the unsaved to introduce them to Jesus. We may be the…
Hope Is Not Lost
Text: Lamentations 3:21-24 We are going through a season where the enemy is trying to steal our hope. Sometimes, as Christians, we have a tendency to look at the situations we’re in and we lose hope.

Not because there is no hope, but because we…
A Call To Faithfulness
Text: James 4:4-10 Unfaithfulness is a terrible thing in any relationship. God made a covenant with us and He’ll accept nothing less. What drives unfaithfulness is the world. . . a corrupt moral system. The world celebrates sin. Everything that God hates, the world celebrates. The world changes our priorities. The enemy wants to use his system to keep us from worshiping God. The enemy wants to make us ungrateful for what we have and desire the things we don’t…
