    America may change some aspects of government this election but it will not change the fact that the people remain in rebellion to God. We like so many other countries in the world are living out the cycle of sin as it is clearly displayed.

    Message: We have been witness to a national election in America. It was a very volatile and divisive election. What we saw played out in the United States is as old as time. The Bible points us to a time when Israel wanted to be like other nations. We see in their actions ancient facts ...read more

    The nation of Israel was going to reject God as their King, as individuals, we do not want to make the same mistake!

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • The nation of Israel did not have an earthly king for many years, they were under the guidance of God. Men like Samuel were God’s intermediary between God and the people. Samuel was the last of the Judges of Israel (1 Samuel 7:15). • The nation of Israel was to be like no ...read more

    This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

    As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

    People have willingly allowed the government to gain influence and control over almost every facet of their lives, just because of their need to believe in the existence of a higher power who offers them succor and security.

    Federal Control –a Christian’s Reaction. Illustration The young missionary arrived early in the morning at a native village where he was to share the word of God through an interpreter. The fellowship meeting would not take place until the next day so the missionary was given time to ...read more

    Be Careful What You Wish For

    Sometimes we leave God out of our desires and plans. We must always go to God for guidance, especially when we face life’s challenges. Our desire to imitate the world may seem righteous at first, but it will result in destruction.

    How many of you have wanted something that someone else has? Well, you’re not alone. Envy and coveting have been around since the beginning of time. One of the Ten Commandments even says, “You shall not covet…” It’s too bad that the Israelites and the elders in the ...read more

    Consider the will of God in every matter. Consider the consequences of every choice.

    This is not a good title; I use it to jog our mind to think. Is this our orientation to life? • We know God cares and therefore we live through life seeking God to provide what we want. He is key to a successful and comfortable life. • The needs are real, and many, no doubt about ...read more
