Are you successful in life—or are you failing? Are you on your way to true success—or, are you about to give up? We were not created to be a failure. We were meant to be truly successful. But true success does not happen by accident, circumstance or coincidence. True success must be achieved. There are certain principles—one might say, laws—which we must apply and follow in order to become truly successful. What are seven physical and spirituals laws of success?

This sermon addresses the importance of maintaining a close relationship with God through prayer. It also emphasizes the need to follow the biblical admonitions given to us in regard to prayer.

There is a lack of true Godly love in the world. The Bible explains what this love really is and how to express it.

Drifting in life places control over the direction we take in our lives to influences that are ungodly. To stay in control involves adopting God’s will as our own and being led by the Holy Spirit.

God chose the Tribe of Levi for Himself to teach Israel His commandments, statutes and judgments. That obligation continues, and as prophecy shows, the covenant with Levi will once again be fulfilled.

From the beginning, the issue has been—who will believe God. Examples from the Bible reveal that very few people have the kind of faith to believe God. Will we be one of the exceptions who actually do believe God?

“Woe” expresses a dire warning to the people to whom it is pronounced in the Bible. The book of Isaiah contains a series of six woes, or warnings, to a variety of people and nations. What can we learn from them? What will be the ultimate prophetic outcome?

What are some of the most popular verses in the Bible people share and quote from the most, and how can we really understand what these verses mean so we can apply them in our lives?

The Bible is clear that we must bring ourselves in submission to the Father and the Son.  But is there more to whom we should be submissive to? Interestingly, the Bible is very explicit that we should submit to our fellow human beings, but how is this supposed to work?

We as Christians must learn how we are to submit our lives over to God. It is a constant challenge that we must be aware of and willing to put constant effort into!

The second sermon in this two-part series continues to review advice and admonitions from the Book of Proverbs and other books in the Bible. In each sermon, ten areas are reviewed, and when the advice given is implemented, good outcomes are the end product.

In this first of a two-part series on “Bible Gems,” the Book of Proverbs is used to show us how to act, behave, and make decisions for virtually any situation. Both wisdom and foolishness are addressed to show right from wrong and how we can make those decisions which can best assist us at this time and in the way that God approves.

We think about all kinds of various things on a daily basis but controlling what we think about, especially when it’s negative, can be challenging.  How do we limit our negative thoughts and instead focus on the positive that will bring about good fruit?

We discuss the burden of sin; the election of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House and Donald Trump’s involvement; whether there are any biblical exceptions for abortion; the biblical teaching on paying taxes; TSA’s extension of Corona vax mandates for tourists; serious suspected cases of corona vaccination complications in Germany; constitutional restrictions in Ukraine; discrimination; and biblical prophecies showing that the third temple will be built on the Temple Mount.

Let us look at our lives sincerely and honestly; let us examine ourselves and see where we need improvement. Ignoring certain areas of weakness and shortcoming does not bring results; instead, we must take up the fight. Good intentions are important, but they must be put into action.

When we are considered to be special by others, especially by those we hold in high esteem, it feels great. We feel loved and valued. Do we realize that God Himself considers us to be special to Him? What can we do to honor that privilege and develop our relationship with Him?

Jesus made a profound statement to His disciples when He said, “I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). What did He mean, and how does that apply to Christians, today? Is it actually possible for us to also overcome the world?

At the heart of Christianity is the doctrine that as human beings we need forgiveness of our sins to obtain salvation, and inherit eternal life. A naïve prescription for becoming forgiven instructs people that all they need to do is to believe in Christ to be saved. While this is a necessary condition for receiving forgiveness, merely believing is not independently sufficient. We need to begin by understanding our sins and turning away from them. This is the act of true repentance.

The expression “I wouldn’t have done that” can often be made with the advantage of hindsight. We can sit in judgement when we may not know all the facts or have been in the position that others may have found themselves in.

The celebration of Christmas, as well as being Pagan, has had a long and confusing observance. December the twenty fifth is not the only time it was and is celebrated, and at different times and places, it was banned altogether. God commands us not to keep it.
