Regardless of the power one may assume they have over their lives and other people, the reality is all power stems from God’s hands. Only God knows the future. He has set the course for all creation. No man or woman can know all of God’s plans but we can know God Himself, through His son Jesus Christ. The only one worthy enough to open the scroll from God’s right hand. In these days of turmoil, as...

Worship in Heaven is centered around the one true God, “Yahweh”, “I Am”. Jesus gives John a glimpse of what every believer will experience in Heaven for Eternity. Worship today should be practice for what we will experience in Heaven. Today God will challenge us all to evaluate who is on the throne of our life and what place we will give Him in our priorities. Our eternity depends on it. Sermon Ou...

The church of Laodecia lived in a city that learned to be self-reliant. Their culture was one of compromise and half-hearted commitment to God. The church did more to benefit themselves that to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. An inward focused church is not a church at all but merely an association of individuals that are seeking to meet their own needs. Jesus loved the church of Laodecia and H...

In no other belief or religion can anyone claim that their gods humbled themselves to the point of becoming like their people to save them. God your creator and author of this universe came to earth so that you could approach Him. This is the message of Christmas. This is the best gift we could ever receive, a Savior. Immanuel: God with Us! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/47970921

True Believers! Everyone would like to think they are true believers, am I right? How awful would it be to reach the end of your life only to find out that you were not who you thought you were. In today’s culture it is more important than ever to be sure of your status with God. Jesus instructs us today in His letter to the church at Philadelphia that true believers obey Jesus in three specific w...

I once had a friend describe a church to me as one that wanted to “seem” rather than to “be”. They were saying that everyone wanted the church to be known for what it does, rather than for the Jesus they were supposedly serving. This is a great introduction to the church at Sardis. Hear Jesus’ heart as He reminds the church to return to Him. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/47807437

God commands us to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, then love our neighbor as we love ourselves. The church at Thyatira did many things right when it came to pleasing the Lord, however their love for others led some to look past the sins of its members. Churches and Christians must not let their desire to show love to others cause them to water down their doctrine and lose the...

Today we look at the letter Jesus wrote to the church at Pergamum through His apostle John. We find a church doing their best to remain true to God in a culture that tries to corrupt them at every turn. Satan attempted to kill the church by way of persecution and death. This only made the church stronger so he changed his tactics. Satan began to attack the church from within by influencing members...

Jesus reminds all believers today that not only does He know you and your situation, He knows what you are feeling too because He has gone through the same. Regardless of what you are in, where you have been or where you are going, Jesus knows you. Listen to His words to the churches of Smyrna. Understand the love behind His instructions and corrections. You are not alone! Jesus knows you and love...

Today the church must be honest in its evaluation of where it stands with Jesus. We are not defined by our works or numbers but in our love for God and love for others. Hear Jesus lovingly correct the church's attitude toward the way we do church. For those who have cooled in their love for Jesus, today is the day to return to Him! Sermon Notes @ http://bible.com/events/46488220

Jesus is more alive today than He has ever been. He is preparing His church for His return so get ready. Do not let the condition of this world lull you into taking his warning lightly. Jesus is speaking to you today in this passage. He is warning you to get your soul right with Him and ready for His return. He is alive and He is returning! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/46013701

There has never been a day where it has been more important to hear the cry of the apostle John proclaiming God's endgame for the church. It's time to awaken our hearts and souls to the fact that God "The Almighty One" is always in control and He has a plan for the church. Will you be part of it or left behind? Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/45180668

Prayer is the glue that holds our faith together and strengthens the tether between God’s heart and ours. Living a life apart from prayer is to live a life full of self-struggle, stress and confusion. James has laid out great tools for successful Christian living in this book however, they must be under-girded with prayer. Prayer fuels perseverance! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/4425391...

As James closes his letter to the church, he gives great advice to believer on how to persevere. This is a message our world desperately needs today. If you are looking for the power to make it one more day then listen to James' words this morning. Sermon Notes @ http://bible.com/events/43320033

Judgement and Discernment are not the same thing. Truth is inseparable from God's Character, To Call Something Sin, we must agree with God's word. It's God's job to judge, so why do we feel qualified to do so? Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/41742625

Deep within each person is a desire to look out for themselves. Selfishness manifests itself in our priorities, actions and relationships. Too often our tendency to look inward only intensifies our selfish drive. James teaches the power of submission. By submitting to God, you make room for Him to work in your life. Do not let your drive for self-reliance keep you from knowing the unlimited power...

Our world has lost its moral compass due to a rejection of the truths found within the Bible. One of the consequences is people following their own wisdom rather than true Godly wisdom. The result is chaos, hate and evil. To get our lives back and to get our world back as Christians we must depend on Godly wisdom to make our next move! We need Godly wisdom and our world needs to see the results of...

The words we speak reveal the content of our heart. They should be guided by biblical wisdom and honorable actions. Our words matter and the way we use them will change our lives plus the world around us. Sermon Notes @ http://bible.com/events/39000385

Are there some areas in your life where you are exhibiting a disconnect between what you say you believe and how you are actually living? If there has ever been a time to see the lack of faith in the deeds of people it is today. It is more important than ever for you to not only claim your faith in Jesus Christ, but to carry it out in our deeds and actions. Sermon Notes @ http://bible.com/events/3...

We must show mercy to others whether we like them or not. By showing mercy we will receive mercy. Dial down the hate and interject Jesus’ mercy and love into your everyday lives. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/30494825

The love we experience in this world apart from God is fleeting. Even the strongest of earthly loves are ceased by death, however God's love is forever and nothing can separate a believer from it. Sermon Notes @ http://bible.com/events/29327955

Are you ready to walk over your storms today? You may not literally walk on water but with Jesus’ help you can walk through the storms of life that seek to drown you. Jesus wants to rescue you today! Sermon Notes @ http://bible.com/events/28325961

In all of the trials and turmoils our world is facing today, many Christians want to point out the wrong ways others are acting. Maybe we should take the time to think about what God thinks about how Christians are acting? Sermon Outline @ https://my.bible.com/events/26798619

We are all diving down the interstate of life and blazing speeds. Life can be busy and complicated. One of the best things you can do today is find rest. Sermon Notes @ https://my.bible.com/events/25491131
