Wake Up, Church! Awaken The Truth Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 20, 2021

Our world today has abandoned the truth. As a church, we need to wake up! We need to be standing up for the truth, sharing the truth with the world through God’s love.

Many in our country today are claiming to be “woke”. Being “woke” started as being attune to racist behaviors and attitudes several years ago. As a Christian, we should all be opposed to racism, treating people differently because of their skin color, their accent, their family heritage, or where ...read more

Contributed by Peter Naveen Saketi on Aug 24, 2021

Lazarus was raised from dead after 4 days of his death. This has been quite a normal sermon we hear from our childhood, but there are 7 lessons we can learn for our daily living.

What are those 7 lessons we can learn from? 1. GOD'S LOVE MUST BE HIGHLIGHTED NOT OUR LOVE: John 11:3 - Whom YOU LOVE is sick - - Here the love of Lazarus towards Jesus was not highlighted but the LOVE OF JESUS towards Lazarus was highlighted. Which tells us that not that we do for God is ...read more

Can A Person Know Jesus Intimately?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 6, 2021

I believe that the essential issue in the church today is the need to grow in intimacy with Jesus, the Creator God of all things.

God desires to have a personal, intimate, loving, dynamic, and powerful relationship with every person on the planet. WHAT IS INTIMACY? To develop an intimate relationship with Jesus, we need to define what that looks like. Some have said that intimacy means "in-to-me-see" and begins ...read more

Harvest At First

Contributed by Bud Rose on Sep 15, 2021

We are living today in the most exciting time in all of history. Why? Because there’s more people alive today than there’ve ever been. And before Jesus comes back (which could be at any moment), the Church has the potential for bringing literally millions of souls into the Kingdom of God.

A Summary Of The Person And Work Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 29, 2021

Our study of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith continues with an examination of the Holy Spirit, Who He is and what He does as presented in the Scriptures.

We have examined vital Biblical teachings on God the Father, God the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and we now come to the Person and work of God the Holy Spirit, no doubt the most neglected and misunderstood member of the Holy Trinity. I say that in light of how the church throughout its history ...read more

Nothing But Christ

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 8, 2022

Paul would know no one but Jesus! There's no one greater to know, no one loves us as much, only He can save us, He's the only way to heaven, and He's God's only choice to redeem the world. Who is this Jesus to YOU?

My Message Is All About God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 10, 2022

If we are not careful, we can get in the way of sharing the good news about Jesus and begin to make the message about us. But our message and our ministry must be all about Him and not about us. We must lift Him up, and He will draw people to Himself.

A. I read about a minister who gave an unusual sermon one Sunday. 1. He used a peanut to make several important points about the wisdom of God in nature. 2.

Two Types Of Evangelism (1 Corinthians 2:1-15) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 23, 2022

Comparing and contrasting friendship evangelism, with power evangelism. Also, Spirit wisdom, vs. human wisdom.

I'm finding it impossible when working in 1 Corinthians to offer you any kind of introduction each week. There's something about reflecting on human wisdom, and Spirit wisdom, and Paul's criticism of human eloquence and rhetorical nicety that just stifles that. This week, in ...read more

The Secret To Knowing God Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Jan 24, 2022

What does it mean to know God? It is not intellectual knowledge about Him. Knowing God involves having a vibrant intimate personal relationship with Him. This relationship should be ongoing, ever growing, and maturing.

1. THE FIRST SPIRITUAL SECRET - Jesus said that God is a Spirit and we must have a spiritual connection. (John 4:24) Therefore, we need the Holy Spirit to make God known to us. Only as we rely on the Holy Spirit as our teacher can we know the Lord and understand His Word. “But the Comforter, which ...read more
