Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No once can come to the Father except through me. - John 14:6
Why we believe what we believe - Other Christians. How to treat and love other fellow believers.
Our second sermon through the series of Why we believe what we believe; Eternal Security.
Looking at what happens whenever we take out eyes off of God and letting them focus on our circumstances.
The next generation doesn't need us to shelter them but rather show them the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Whenever the angel told Joseph to get up, he showed immediate obedience; do we do this?
Be encouraged to be faithful for the things we already know. Showing our faithfulness to these things God will show you, give you, use you more.
What does your witness show to others? Are we willing to be a witness for Christ in all areas of our lives?
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways.." Are your thoughts reflecting Jesus?
Looking into our lives, what occupies our thoughts, our time, our energy, and our emotions?
Today, would you dare to commit to the uncommon life, seek first the Kingdom even before family, serving the Lord in an uncommonly body of believers that is the church.
Are we clinging to the binders that often hold our eyes shut from seeing the bigger picture God has planned for us?
Today more than every Christian character is being looked at it, what does your character show to others that are watching?
Don't fall into the trap of being religious by knowing just the Word of God rather than knowing the God of the Word.
Receiving forgiveness gets our vertical relationship right with Him and pushes us to get our horizontal relationship with others right.
You were created for a time such as this, God has used this time to prepare you to be salt and light. Surrender your life to Him today and never forget.
"He just become greater and greater, and I must become less and less." How willing are you to live for Christ?
Continuing on in the series of Jesus's teachings on the sermon on the mount, we look at the character of living a Godly life.
The Therefore of Faith, a self check of how our faith is holding up during these times.
The faith in God that we've heard and talked about all our lives, do we really have that faith?
"Sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it." - Gen. 4:7 Will you have the faith to conquer it?

How do we live our new life in Christ? “Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.” Colossians 3:1
Choosing to commit to God and live the life He has for us and the power He is willing to give us.
God loves us so much that He willingly gave His son to die in order for us to choose not to go to Hell.
Working for Jesus. What does the evidence in your life show about your relationship with Jesus?
We look back at many of the life lessons we found while studying out the book of Daniel.
If you want real life, you will loose your life and trust in the plan of our Sovereign God.
Staying strong for God. Be willing to be in an accountability group and hold each other up.
Lesson 3 in our series of Daniel. 1. Pride eats at our core. 2. Revelation leads to responsibility 3. God is gracious and patient but His judgement will come.
What is your golden image? We may not necessarily physically bow down to a golden image, but we all have something that we value so much that it hinders our walk with God. Do we have enough faith to lay these down at the feet of Jesus and commit to serve God fully?
Are you determined to follow God and what are you doing about it, have you made the connection between the time and place you live and your purpose, and in that are you conforming to the world or transforming the world around you?
How can God trust is with the big things when we're not willing to do the small things He's placed in front of us.
In understanding our purpose for Christ, we must first ask the question: "What breaks your heart?"
Convictions keep my commitments up to date, compromise is the first step toward breaking my commitments.
James 1:18 tell us that we are God's prized possession, are we living a life worthy to be called that?
Easter Sunday! Resurrection Day! Jesus is alive and as He chose to give His life for us; He pleads that we would choose the life He sacrificed Himself that we could have.
If we were to experience real revival then we'd naturally say "Here I am Lord, send me."
God's commitment to us enables our commitment to Him. 1. They vowed to separate themselves from the world 2. They vowed to be subject to the Word of God. 3. They vowed to se apart the sabbath.
Worship is not a spectator sport nor a passive act. Worship is not about someone but rather Worship is to Someone
When faced at a crossroad of change and go forward or stay the same and avoid going forward; what will you choose?
The difference between those who do great things and those who don't is DESIRE. Do our desires reflect our obedience to God or obedience to self desire?
"It is written", these three little words had the power when spoken by Jesus to make the Devil flee. Do we know the power that is written in God's word?
Are you living in the world or in Christ? Plain and simple we must live out our lives as Christ lives in us.
The newness of life found in Christ should make us want to show others of this new life we have in Christ.
'He will equip you in every good thing to do His will' Hebrews 13:21. As the body of Christ we're to be unified and carry out whatever God has called us to do.
Does your life look any different today than it was 3 weeks ago? Ask yourself this question as you examine if we look at our spiritual lives.
Your plans or God's plans? Are you willing to give up your plans for God's plans? The Christmas story told through the eyes of Joseph and Mary.
The reason many people don't pray is they really don't believe He will answer. Do you believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that God can and will speak directly into your life and that He has a word for you?
God's Perfect Plan. Listen as Brian Sansing goes through scripture to explain why Jesus had to come through a virgin birth and had to die. It's make John 8:36 'So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed' have even more of a meaning to realize the freedom we have in Christ
In this message, we look at the final part of the "Lord's Prayer". Matthew 6:12-13 "and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one."
Those 4 little words are prayed regularly by many people but are we actually allowing His will to be done?
Mark 16:15 “And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach The Gospel to every creature.’” In our evening revival service, Brian Tyndall reminds us that Jesus, Himself, gave all believers the command to go and tell others about Him. - We are to start where we are - in our own community -To be able to do that, we must be sure that we know Him We have to ask ourselves -Do we know Him? -Are we going?
The wedding feast, are we clothed with Jesus's righteousness or are we still clothed with sin?
Death is any man’s final enemy. Jesus defeated death, and death is conquered forever. John 11:25-26 “Jesus told her, ‘I am The Resurrection and The Life. Anyone who believes in Me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in Me and believes in Me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?’”
Without conviction was there ever a conversion? Think about that. Jesus is the Gate that allows us to enter into His Kingdom and He stands there and protects us once we're His.
John 6:35 Jesus replied, "I am the Bread of Life." Jesus clarifies to all of the disciples that it was God who provided manna for the Israelites in the wilderness. Jesus said, "I assure you, Moses didn't give them bread from heaven. My Father did. And now He offers you the true bread from heaven. The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." God provided manna daily for the Israelites to gather and eat. In the same way, we should seek Jesus - The Bread of LIfe - daily. Many people love Jesus for what He can do in their lives physically, but they don't want to surrender to Him and give up control. Our control leads to death - but surrender to Jesus leads to life. Reference: John 6
Jesus is what we cannot be. We must learn that our confidence in what God does in our lives is rooted in who He is.
Throw away the rear view mirror that so many of us keep looking in and allowing it to hold us back from experiencing freedom in Christ.
Have you had the assurance of knowing that you've received the precious gift of eternal life?
In this 2 part sermon we look at the world as it desires to hear what they want to hear. We see it's our job to spread the truth of Jesus Christ to the world and to our children. Part 2 focuses on the perfect love of God and how the past can't haunt you, the present can't hold you, and your future is secure in Jesus Christ.
The proof of purpose on our life comes not only by what we say but what we do. Christian love is the pinnacle of God's will and how we show it directly reflects our relationship we have with God.
Are you a son or daughter of God? This is a question you can answer with absolute certainty. God shows us in 1 John 3 how we can answer the most important question of your life.
The truth of God's word is the same as it was yesterday, will be the same tomorrow, and will be the same forever. Do you know the Truth? False teachers and religion can try to sway you but we must stand on and in God's word.
The phrase 'Worldliness' is not so much about activity but is more about attitude. Often times our attitude of tolerating things allows the world to slip into our lives unannounced.
In this life, the satisfying reality is that true happiness is not found in a place but rather in a person; Jesus Christ. Who is He to you, what does He do?
If we are going to live as for Him, we must be an ambassador for Him which also means we must constantly grow in Him.
John 13. The description of Jesus becoming a lowly servant should make us take note that we're called to seek and serve no matter what.
The church, what is it? Who is it? Where is it? All relevant questions that we as Christians need to realize and understand that the church is not the walls we meet in each Sunday but it's hearts and souls of each Christian.
What are we instilling in our children? As parents are we walking in a way that our children could be pointed to Christ just by seeing our lives?
Your commitment to God must change the person we are from how we think, what we do, how we handle situations, and our priorities
Easter Morning, It is finished! Jesus cancelled the need for the Blood to sprinkled on the altar by making Himself the final sacrifice.
Prayer, the essential item to growing our faith in Christ and sustaining our walk in the Lord.
When it comes time for your 'final' exam before the Lord how will you be able to answer for: What you did with what He gave you? Who did you help along the way? Do you know that you are right with the Lord?
Jesus chose to go a little farther than His own will whenever He was faced with death. What about you? Are you willing to go a little farther in your walk with the Lord?
The Holy Spirit, is He inside you? Have you allowed Him to change you? Is He overflowing in you?
Are you willing to be like Mary and give over your life as a willing sacrifice? Maybe like Joesph's call and be ready to be used? God's calling each of us, will you answer?
Joseph, very little mentioned about him in the Bible but what we can take away from him is his faith. The immediate response to God's calling of Joseph shows us what is possible if we are willing.
As Zechariah was called to prepare for the coming of the forerunner of Jesus, He also calls us. As we prepare our homes, this church, our workplaces, or schoolhouses for Christmas, will we invest time in preparing our hearts for the coming of the King like we've never experienced Him before.
The "Beatitudes'. A familiar passage of scripture but one that can cause us to examine ourselves each time we hear or read it. As you listen think on things we can do or say to receive blessings from the Lord.
How are we as the church, showing its relevance to the world? Listen as Brian tells us the things we, as a church, must ensure we're portraying to the world.
Two things we must know: 1)Is your foundation right? Do you know Christ? 2)Once you have your foundation right, what are you building your house with? Are you working on a 'grand entrance' into Heaven or just a baby step inside?
Are you ashamed of the Gospel? Listen as Bro. Eddie Wren tells us of how we share the Gospel we are speaking of the power of the God.
Are you ready to get off the bench and get in the game? Listen as Bro. Eddie Wren tells us of the ways and benefits of following in Paul's footsteps, and how utilizing the power of prayer life to help church leadership and to bring others to Christ
Paul puts 'self' behind him and follows the Holy Spirit directions on where to minister to. By doing so we see an example of praising God instead of results as Paul and Timothy reach the lost even while jailed.
Can we really fear less tomorrow than we did today? Fear does play an applicable role in our lives but it can't control us. Our fears can't keep us from serving, obeying, and being totally committed to Jesus.
Peace for believers comes from obedience from what God calls us to do. God wants our full obedience. Once we accept this we must be ready to leave everything and follow Him. At that time we'll be able to experience the peace that passes all understanding.
Are you trying to standing still serve God? The Bible is filled with scriptures that tells us how Jesus gives us the peace about us that enables us to step up and out on what He's calling us to do. That peace is only available though once we accept Him as Lord and Savior of our lives. So ask yourself, "Am I afraid to do what God has called me to do?"
The power of the Holy Spirit enables us to do unimaginable things at times. Through the empowerment given to them by the Holy Spirit, Paul and Barnabas preached the gospel. They discipled, encouraged and strengthened believers. It enabled them to set up organization within the church. All this was done after the Holy Spirit gave Paul the power to get up after being stoned and carrying out his commitment to preaching the gospel.
In this one life we have to live, are we living for Christ? Do we find ourselves asking, "Am I a true believer?", "How can God use a failure like me?", "Am I hungry to hear and feel God?" Listen as Brian Sansing goes through Paul's first missionary journey and shows similarities of things then and now that we all struggle with.
