    Testing Your Faith

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 24,501 views

    God wants me to live by faith. God builds my faith by testing it. How then, does God do this? I’d like to look at four ways God tests and builds our faith.

    Testing Your Faith The Bible says in Matthew 9:29 "According to your faith it will be done unto you." What are you expecting God to do in your life? This is the law that God has established. It’s called the Law of Expectation. The fact is, we tend to get what we expect out of life. We tend ...read more

    The Gift Of Limitations

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,956 views

    In light of the fact that we only have so much to give, I’d like to attempt to bestow a Mother’s Day gift today- the gift of limitations. God can do everything, but you and I cannot! So, here's permission to set some limits and boundaries in your life.

    The Gift of Limitations -(Matthew 25:1-13) We all have limitations. We are finite beings who are limited by time and space, and by a finite supply of energy and focus. Furthermore, you could say we are limited by our mission or purpose in life, although some never learn to set limits that keep ...read more

    Dealing With Divine Disappointment

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,524 views

    I’d like to give a few perspectives that will help us deal with divine disappointment. When we are less than thrilled about how or when God is working (or seemingly not working), what are we to think and do? Let’s take a look.

    Dealing with Divine Disappointment Luke 7:18-23 18 Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things. 19 And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?" 20 When the men had come to Him, they ...read more

    What’s Your Poison?

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015
     | 4,570 views

    Was it the act of eating from the tree that was the BIG problem, or was it the sin of disobedience, doubting God’s character and not trusting His words? The poison was not so much in the fruit but in the heart!

    What’s Your Poison? Genesis 3:1-7 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" 2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the ...read more

    Looking At Jesus

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015
     | 5,123 views

    When people can see Jesus for who He really is, they will be drawn to Him and can experience life transformation as they respond to Him.

    Looking at Jesus Intro: Hebrews 12:2 “…looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross.” There are numerous places in Scripture where people look at Jesus. Even though the Bible indicates there would be nothing ...read more

    The Mission Of God Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,558 views

    Missions didn’t begin with the Great Commission. Missions began with God. It beat first in His heart before it was ever breathed into His church. God now identifies the local church as the center for world evangelism thru loving service & giving.

    The Mission of God -Usually, when we think of missions we think of the Great Commission. But missions didn’t begin with the Great Commission. Missions began with God. It beat first in His heart before it was ever breathed into His church. Darrell Guder writes, “We have come to see that ...read more

    The Generous Life Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014
     | 8,401 views

    Are you tight with your treasure? You’ll be tight with your heart as well. It’s the age old battle that we all fight… the battle between selfishness and generosity. Truly, it is more blessed to give generously than it is to receive.

    The Generous Life John 12:1-8 Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint ...read more

    Breaking Free From Mammon Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,395 views

    We need to break free from the spirit of Mammon, which causes us to crave more, having less to show for it. Mammon wants to keep you enslaved and distracted from following God fully, but God wants you to be free!

    Breaking Free from Mammon Luke 16:9-15 9 "And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. 10 "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust ...read more

    Putting God First Series

     | 9,360 views

    Today we will talk about the priority of the tithe. Not only does it show who you trust, but it shows who is first in your life.

    Putting God First -Intro: Last week we talked about the tithe being a “trust” fund. Why did we call it that? Because whoever you give the tithe (the first tenth of your income), that is where you are putting your trust. Every time you receive income there is a test. Every time you ...read more

    The “trust” Fund Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014
     | 10,457 views

    3 Mindsets about money: First-I share w/ God when I want to. Second-I share w/ God because I have to. Third-It’s all God’s, and He shares w/ me! We will aim for the 3rd perspective today.

    The “Trust” Fund Malachi 3:6-12 6 "I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you," says the LORD Almighty. "But ...read more

    Winning Over Worry

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014
     | 6,324 views

    Worry affects our thinking, feeling, and choosing. Worry wastes time and energy. Relationships with our spouses, families, coworkers, friends, and the Lord suffer. Health problems arise from worry. It shows a lack of trust in God. There is a better way!

    Winning over Worry Text: Philippians 4:4-9 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 ...read more

    About Our Father’s Business…

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,078 views

    We can find some common purposes that the church as a whole was to seek to carry out. I want to highlight these today so that we will be sure and remember what we’re to be about! These things are the business of our Father in heaven!

    About Our Father’s Business… NKJ Luke 2:49 And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?" NKJ John 9:4 "I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 18 The Spirit of the Lord ...read more

    Making It Personal!

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014
     | 8,187 views

    Since God is a personal God, He wants to get personal with you. The power of a personal testimony, a personal encounter with Jesus, and a personal confession of who He is!

    Making It Personal! John 4:39-42 39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did." 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more ...read more

    The Most Essential Food

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 27, 2014
     | 4,763 views

    God wants to share essential food with us by including us in what He is doing in this world. Committing Oneself to the Father’s Will (34). Working for Him Until the Job is Done (34). Recognizing the Season of Harvest (35-38).

    THE MOST ESSENTIAL FOOD John 4:27-38 27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?" 28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 ...read more
