Jeremiah’s First Sermon Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 29, 2023

Can you imagine the crowd that Jeremiah was preaching to as a 19-year-old. He is giving this message of harsh judgement to his dad and his dad’s priestly peers, not to mention the king.

Jeremiah was called as a prophet. We read this in Chapter one. He is told to fasten his belt around his garment, that is to say, roll up your sleeves and buckle your seatbelt for a turbulent ride. He is to stand up and speak up for God. As we look at Jeremiah’s first sermon there are a couple of ...read more

Releasing The Anointing Of God

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019

In order for the anointing of God to move powerfully through a Christian’s life, and upon every life they touch, it must be released.

Before the anointing was released at the start of Jesus ministry, He was baptized. “When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.” (Luke 3:21 NIV) Baptism symbolizes death. The spices that made up the Anointing Oil ...read more

Faith’s Essential Content Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 3, 2024

Romans 4:23-25 provides a concise statement of the Christian faith: Lordship of Christ, his sacrificial death on the cross, and his resurrection. Salvation depends on believing these essentials. Religions that proclaim Jesus as a good teacher or prophet but deny these tenets are false religions.

Intro We have been examining Abrham’s faith as a model for the kind of faith God is looking for in you and me. Abraham’s faith was a saving faith. After describing his faith, Paul says in Romans 4:22: “And therefore ‘it was accounted to him for righteousness.’” Paul has grounded his teaching on the ...read more

For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." Christ condemned ...read more
