This parable reveals to us all our universal lostness, and the desire and efforts of God to rescue us from our sin and judgment.

It is one thing to have a heart full of gratitude but quite another to express it. To express it loudly, passionately, publicly and privately. To express it with sincere joy and appreciation for the many, many blessings bestowed upon us through Christ; remembering that God did not do these things because we are good, but instead because He is good

The bible tells us guard, garrison, protect our heart, because out of it flows the issues of life. It is this often overlooked fact that we are the gatekeeper of our own heart. Christ gave us a new one, but he put us in charge of making sure it stays connected to the vine and protected from every enemy.

Today we draw out principles of stewardship from the parable of the talents found in the Gospel of Matthew. We are blessed with much in America, and with much blessing comes much responsibility. Join us as we examine the Scripture for a practical and applicable framework to help guide our stewardship of time, gifts, and resources in this last hour.

I believe by God's spirit this message will be enlightening to those who feel like they are walking in darkness, strength for those who are weak, motivation for the stagnant, clarity for the confused, and healing for the hurting. God has not gone anywhere and His Plans are still in force; you just gotta make it to your next place in God.

Join us as we face the reality of the circumstances faced by those that follow Christ faithfully. The world hates the light, but Jesus sustains all that belong to Him. We that are redeemed are kept by God, for He always has, and He always will, be faithful to His Word. God will keep all that belong to Him, and we are His.

Today we will compare the wisdom of the world with the wisdom of God to discover why many become so offended with the simplicity of the Gospel. God's wisdom is perfect, timeless, and leads us to glory. Conversely, worldly wisdom is corrupt, makes us arrogant, and leads us to destruction. Join us as we examine the better way to sojourn as we live in this world, but are not of this world.

As believers we are keenly aware of the global condition of sin as well as our own experience. From the darkness before our new birth, to the painful and discouraging experience of our sinfulness after conversion. As we examine the why of our sinfulness; maybe then we can turn back to the "who" that is worthy of our choice of holiness.

This message will carefully examine what is told us in the scriptures about the man Elijah and the effectual prayers that moved heaven and shook a nation. The base foundation of our message is found in the book of James where we find out; that Elijah was no different than us in his makeup and or opportunities.... only difference is that HE PRAYED

"Forgiven, but not living like it". In it we will be examining the divine expectations and intentions of God for our lives found in the scriptures and the old/weak fig leaves believers for generations have used to try and cover their nakedness. There is not only a glory found in grace, but a responsibility, a response, an expectation to follow the Lord into all the ways and graces where he abides. Don't let the world and carnal believers dull your senses to what is valuable and necessary for the believer to walk closely with God.

In the old testament, the Israelites (like us all) were under the judgment of God and many of them died; but God in his mercy gave them a divine remedy of mercy, that only involved their faith.

Looking at him genuinely, exclusively......nothing more, nothing less. No wonder they call HIS GRACE amazing
