Often in life, we feel abandoned. We pray, we seek God’s direction, we ask for His plan yet silence seems to answer us back. In those moments, it’s easy to believe that God has walked away. But the truth is not that God has abandoned us— it’s that we often interfere with the very plans He is working out. 1.Interfering with God’s Plan Many times, we convince ourselves that what’s right in front of...

“The church hasn’t fallen asleep overnight—we’ve been napping.” A nap feels harmless:   Comfortable Temporary Unintentional  But spiritually:   Naps turn into missed moments Missed warnings Missed assignments  “You can love God and still be asleep.” Paul isn’t talking to the world—he’s talking to believers. He isn’t talking to religious people he is talking to the people who the body. We want to h...

the place in life where faith gets real and comfort gets challenged. This is a space for believers who know God is calling them higher, deeper, and stronger. Life will test you. Faith will be refined. Discipline won’t always feel good—but it will produce something holy.  So if God is calling you to grow, to endure, and to step out in obedience… Then let’s say it together—Challenge Accepted. We wan...

When we think of the birth of Jesus, we often recognize the gift—but do we truly see the perfection of that gift? He was born as a man, yet lived a blameless life here on earth. He walked without sin, without fault, without compromise. And still, He willingly gave His life for a world that would despise Him, reject Him, and turn away from His love and grace. Even so, God did not withhold His gift....

Matthew 2:11–12 Fit for a King There is a truth we must understand today: Not one of us has anything fit for a King. We possess nothing material that can please the Lord. Not our passion. Not our dedication. Not our commitments. Not even our words. None of these, by themselves, can satisfy the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Yet Scripture reminds us in 1 Peter 2:9: “But ye are a chosen genera...

Tell Me  Proverbs 8:1-17 We say  this phrase often in our prayer life as a church  Lord tell me me give me Wisdom  But the reality is this we often times  don’t want to know we don’t really want wisdom nor  what God wants for us. We say we do but if it makes us uncomfortable in certain areas well that’s not Gods will. It can’t be it makes me uncomfortable .But the truth is we should be uncomfortab...

In this sermon preached June 21, 1996, David Wilkerson encourages us to have patience and wait on the Lord. Hebrews 10:36 says, "For ye have need of patience" (KJV). God's timing is perfect, so what we see as a delay is not a delay, but it means we must trust in the Lord and have patience. The devil tries to convince us it is our fault, but the Hebrews had genuine faith. What they n...

Thanks Giving  We find it hard to give thanks in all Things let’s be honest we are a people of convenience gratitude  We are a people who believe thankfulness is only a thing that is necessary in a time of gain But the truth is this  according to this scripture in Colisians 3:17  But it’s here that we see a outline that’s so amazing that if we are not careful we will miss it  It’s what we do in wo...

When we think of the love of God we have to have a understanding that it is unconditional  George straight  Wrote a song titled cross my heart  And in that song he says Her love was unconditional and he knew from the start  But when it comes to love the truth is we are a conditional type of people.  We put conditions on everything  I can love you unless  You smoke or drink  I can’t love you unless...

Following Jesus is a key that we have to understand that unlocks everything that we know about being a Christian if we’re not following, Jesus was simply attending church. We’re doing it wrong. I hope you enjoy today’s message today. Scripture comes from March chapter 8 versus 34 through 38. God bless. We want to hear from you. https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4d PastorTomC...

In the United States of America today, there is not one single church afraid to join together in worship. There isn't one group of people meeting in sewers or even in a house in secret, afraid for their own life. There isn't one group of people who will meet in a church who are afraid of being caught, beaten, or even killed for their faith in Jesus Christ. But in Africa, China, Asia, and...

This morning, I ask you to examine your life during this message. Not just asking yourself if you have a personal relationship with Jesus, but that you are known by Him, and that people know that you know Him. We hear people say, 'Well, I was born a Christian,' or 'My mom and dad were Christians.' That doesn't make you a Christian. 'Well, I went to church; that must c...

We see that the king calls for all his men and says, 'Look at this, folks. Look at what their God has done. We put three in the fire, and they didn’t scream or yell in agony and in pain. Their God showed up and walked about the fire. Smell them; they don’t smell like smoke. Look, not a hair is singed. It’s how we react in the fire; it’s when our witness is the strongest, when we are in the fi...

We see that Jesus cries out and says, "Father, not my will be done, but yours." Now we have to understand that Jesus cries out of anguish and discomfort, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. How can we say that? Well, he was God in the flesh, understand, he was the Son of God in the flesh. So let me ask this: Have you ever hurt so bad, been under so much agony that you sweat drops a...

Luke 15:16-17 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! We look at the prodigal son and instantly think of how he came back to his father. But I want to point out he didn’t get cleaned up aft...

I remember as a child, my mother would listen to the radio constantly. And many times I would find comfort in the songs that played; they became a therapy for me. And there would be times where the antenna would have to be adjusted. And just like us, sometimes we get out of tune with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and we have to be retuned so we can be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. But we grieve....

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Over the years, we have had a great divide among us, not just spiritually, but also in the flesh. But we have many who have been a part of the church, worked in the church, and in this realm, we couldn't do it without you. But I also want to bring this to your mind: we are not just a Sunday family. So many...

Finding Jesus Luke 2:41-52 This week's events were not political. They were not fueled by motives of political propaganda. It was fueled by evil and pure demonic. We can articulate that it was because of politics, but let's be real, it wasn't. It was because the gospel was preached, and if you say it was political, you need to examine your own heart because you have missed it. I&apo...

We are a society of hurrying and getting things done. There as been times where maybe you’ve been getting ready to go on a trip and you’ve forgotten so many things that you have to go Back to the house and get the things you forgot. See we often find ourselves doing things that cause us to Go Back So this morning I want to say let’s go back Let’s go back to the basics let’s go back to when we knew...

Hosea 10:12    Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you The meaning of Fallow Ground. Land Left unplowed uncultivated for a Season to allow it to rest And when it rest things grow in It that’s just natural. Jesus says in Matthew 13:7  that some of the seed fell among thorns and the...

The moment that we can live out side the will of God for our lives and it not phase us.  Or even call us to repentance something is wrong  When we are no longer sensitive to the voice of the father calling us back  When he says it’s his grace his mercy that calls us back to him  He is the voice in the wilderness calling out to us by name  The conviction of the Lord shows the intimate relationship...

The purpose and power of praise and worship Glorifies God: "Whoever offers praise glorifies Me," Psalm 50:23. Invites God's Presence: God "inhabits the praises of His people". Spiritual Warfare: Praise is a weapon against the enemy, causing confusion and releasing God's power to fight on our behalf. Accelerates Prayer Answers: Praise can accelerate answers to prayer....

One of the first sayings I heard when I became a Christian was that God is faithful. We sang about the faithfulness of God. Whenever someone would endure a trial, we’d remind them that God is faithful. Faithfulness is a characteristic of God that is often talked about, but I wonder if it’s completely understood. Because we are always communicating about God’s faithfulness in the affirmative—God is...

                              1 Samuel 16:7 Here's a breakdown of the verse's meaning: "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature" : This refers to not judging someone based on their physical appearance, such as their face or height.          "for the LORD seeth not as man seeth" : This highlights the difference between God's perspective and hu...

In the moral sphere, every act of justice or charity involves putting ourselves in the other person's place and thus transcending our own competitive particularity. C. S. Lewis The alarming number of children in danger right here in the Southern states is alarming. Around the globe, an estimated 27 million people are exploited for labor, services,.  Through force, fraud, and coercion, they ar...
