Praying for Your Children
by Rev. Greg Powell (Mar 7 2010)
Series: Colossians
Are we really praying for our children enough? Are we taking the most precious gifts God has ever given us and begging God to do something great with their lives? All parents have hopes and dreams for their children when they grow up; we have a picture of how we want our kids to turn out. Is this going to happen automatically, magically, apart from the hand of God? This sermon from Colossians gives parents a 7-day pattern to pray something specifically for their children's spiritual growth.
The Age
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Mar 7 2010)
Series: World News Today with Joe Missionary
God has given us this age, or time period to accomplish the work of spreading the gospel to the world.

This message will encourage you to live for God during this age.
Extreme Fort Makeover
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Mar 3 2010)
Series: 2 Chronicles
The fortifications in our life occasionally need rebuilding and remodeling. This will help us face the battles of life. In this world that is becoming more and more sinful, we need more safeguards in place, not less. This message focuses on the lessons we can learn from Jehoshaphat and his efforts to fortify Judah.
New and Improved
by Rev. Brandon Chambers (Feb 28 2010)
Pastor Chambers preaches a message of encouragement reminding us of how Christ takes our old life that was headed for hell, and creates a new and improved life that is worth living. Jesus Christ gives access to God's glory, He demonstrates the nature of God's love, and He allows for God's favor to shine upon us.
Roots and Fruits
by Rev. Greg Powell (Feb 28 2010)
Series: Colossians
In the opening verses of Colossians, Paul lays the groundwork for the rest of the book to this church at Colosse. This groundwork serves as a reminder of the foundation that we all need for Christian living and to keep Christ the center of our lives. But good foundations are not the end purpose; God wants us to be grounded so we can be grafted in and growing to produce fruit as a thriving child of God.
Repentance (Part 2)
by Rev. Greg Powell (Feb 24 2010)
Series: I Really Want to Change
In this second half of the message on repentance, Pastor Powell concludes with describing some of the practical implications that will be evident in the life of someone who truly repented. What does repentance produce on the outside? What role does sorrow and regret play in repentance? And what are the fruits of repentance? This matter of repenting of our sins is an important principle in the Christian life and is worthy of your attention.
Keep the Faith
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Feb 21 2010)
Series: Hebrews
Mere professors of faith will be revealed when the true possessors of faith are able to keep it unto the end. In this somewhat controversial warning passage in Hebrews, the Bible teaches that someone who leaves Christianity isn't simply backsliding, but is indicating that they never had true saving faith to begin with; if they were sincere converts, they would have been able to keep the faith.
