Do you want to make a difference in your life? in your family? in your community? in your world? You can! James 4:14 says "For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanisheth away." Our life is very short and we have the choice to waste it or invest it for Christ. Though life is brief, it can be significant! The danger we face is that of wasting o...

How to overcome Trials in our life!

Never underestimate the power of your speech. A judge says a few words, and a man's life is saved or condemned. A doctor speaks a few words, and a patient either rejoices ecstatically or gives up in despair. Whether the communication is oral or written, there is great power in words. The power of speech is a gift of God, and it must be used the way God meant it to be used. The tongue has the...

Father's Day 2015

In the Christian life, we never stand still. We either go forward or gradually slip backward. "Let us go on to maturity!" is the call we must obey (Hebrews 6:1). The Christian who is not making spiritual progress is an open target for the enemy to attack and destroy. While Jesus wants to give us an overflowing, abundant life, Satan has come to kill and destroy (John 10:10). Satan is a li...

You will never be any better, wiser, or happier than the thoughts that influence you. You might say "Pastor Danny, I can't help it, these thoughts just come into my mind." But, we can help it! "The weapons we fight with have divine power to demolish strongholds, we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2Corinthians 10:5). A stronghold is a thought patt...

This Sunday we will be looking at Paul's Burden for The Church. The reason Paul loved the church with such intensity and devotion was because of the deep love that he had for Christ. II Corinthians 5:14 says that "the love of Christ compels", motivates me. When you love the Lord, you love those that He loves. It was this motivation that made Paul purify his life, preach with power,...

The Bible teaches that man by nature is "dead in trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1). In other words, he is empty of that divine element which makes him alive to God. This fact can be true of any man or woman, regardless of education, cultural or even religious practices. God's answer to this basic deficiency is... Christ in you! This Sunday, as we continue our study in Colossians,...

The great Apostle Paul wrote about Timothy, his son in the faith, "I have no man likeminded" (Philippians), or as another translation reads, "There is no one like Timothy." What in Timothy justified such a commendation? Paul singles out his "unfeigned faith" for special mention (2 Timothy 1:5), and then immediately affirms that this faith first dwelt in Timothy's...

Life has but one great goal for the Christian, and that is to find God’s will for their life and do it. In Colossians, Paul’s life work, his profession, was exactly what God wanted him to do. He followed the will of God for his life. Paul did not choose his life’s work, for he did not want to make a mistake. He did not want to waste his life. To Paul, there was but one work or profession: the job...

When we study Paul’s epistles, we see that each letter has a dominant theme. In Romans, the theme is justification by faith. In Ephesians, it is the mystery of Christ and his church. In Philippians, he focuses on the joy which Christ brings. In Colossians, it is the absolute supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ as the Head of all creation and the church. There is no book in the New Testament...

The passion and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ are the cardinal doctrines of our Christian faith. In the Gospels we have the redemptive event; in Acts we have the redemptive experience, and in the Epistles we have the redemptive explanation of the death and resurrection of our Lord. The Apostle Paul, in particular majors on this theme in all of his writings, and insists that it is the groun...

Spring is around the corner. Many of the Psalms deal with various problems and adverse circumstances because we experience so much trouble through life. Thus the Holy Spirit has inspired numerous psalms of lament to help us when we struggle with difficult problems. In Psalm 4, David finds peace through prayer and through trusting God to help him. David understood what Faith Praying was all about....

The title of the message is "The Trial of Faith" from Psalm 3. This Psalm was written by David when he was fleeing from his son Absalom. As the rejected King, David describes his trials and testings and then his final triumph through Jehovah his God. We can relate to this human drama, because the same trials and sorrows are common to all Christians. Come worship and study with us this Su...

The characters of Abram and Lot stand diametrically opposed to each other. Abram was a man of faith; Lot was a man of weak faith. A close examination of their lives will help us, as believers, to grow in our faith. This passage will be an eye opener into walking by faith. Do not miss this life-changing message as we look at the difference between unselfish faith vs. selfish faith.
