Finding Power Through Prayer
Nothing reveals the bankruptcy of modern day Christians more clearly than the lack of prayer. Why don’t we pray more? If prayer is the ultimate act of spiritual intimacy with God, shouldn’t it be the central act of our life as a Christian?
Purging Your Prejudices
In today’s story, Peter went up on a roof top to pray. He was waiting for the meal to be prepared for his physical hunger, but during his time alone, God revealed truth to him that became the turning point for the Church. God used Peter’s physical hunger to create a new hunger for reconciliation of all people everywhere.
Moving Beyond Your Comfort Zone Pt. 1
Today, some people are being robbed of life and personal dreams because of the fear of moving out of a comfort zone. They are trapped or imprisoned by personal perspective, not by reality. They have been programmed to do life a certain way. Day after day, week after week, year after long year, they stay within what they perceive to be safe, but some of these patterns can be the biggest obstacles to fulfilling our God-given dreams.

Work; A Blessing or a Curse?
There is equal dignity in the job you do, whether you’re laboring as a preacher, janitor, auto mechanic or president of a corporation. All are important and necessary for life.
A Heart for People
Do you see people as riches and value others like God does? In our story today we find God looking for someone who will value and love people as He loves people. We will be reminded of the love of God for us and His great love and value of all people.
Modesty in a Modern World Pt. 1
I want to talk today about modesty, or should I say that lack of modesty? This issue is very close to humility. Let’s begin by looking at the definition of a couple words.
Modesty in a Modern World Pt. 2
Unfortunately, not many churches or Christians are as concerned about these issues as we should be. Immodesty and ornamentation have become as acceptable in the church as they are in the world around us. There is no distinction between Christian modesty and world fashion. It is time for us to accept God’s word and make a change for His honor and glory.
Facing the Giant of Adversity
Today we seek to face and defeat another incredible giant of the heart, one which strikes all of us at one time or another, the giant of Adversity. Adversity is misfortune, trouble, or affliction that comes our way because we are human beings. The fact of the matter is that life can be and is incredibly unfair at times. Jesus told his disciples that “the rain falls on the righteous and the unrighteous,” Matthew 5:45. Adversity is common to all of us and it certainly is no respecter of persons.
Entertainment or Satanic Enticement Pt. 1
If you have sensed an increase of offensive content in the media, it’s not your imagination. Networks have proceeded to harden programming in an attempt to keep up with cable stations. Material that would have been banned years ago is now normal fare. Even culture apologists are suggesting that the content in entertainment is out of control.
