These Are The Days Of Elijah – "Days Like These Require A Sustained Effort”

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 22, 2021

During Elisha’s ministry, the Jordan River parted instantly, poisoned waters were healed, the borrowed iron ax head flowed to the surface, dead children had been raised to life, but the miracle Israel needed now would be difficult. This miracle will require a sustained effort.

What a great blessing Elisha had been to the nation of Israel. He faithfully used his God given double portion for the benefit of others. Israel was facing another persistent enemy, the Syrians. Prophet Elisha is on his death bed, over 80 years old in a weakened condition, yet God’s people are ...read more

The Lady Who Saved Christmas Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 2, 2021

God exposed His promise to the turbulence of human affairs. For Christmas to be saved, Christmas must be threatened. Christmas was just an infant’s heartbeat away from annihilation. Only one heir of David was alive, and he was just a year old.

Today I want to speak to you about “The Lady That Saved Christmas.” I think you would agree that for Christmas to be saved, Christmas must be threatened.

Proper Alignment

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Mar 27, 2023

Out of Alignment happens when the arrangement in which two or more things are not positioned in a straight line or parallel to each other. We will begin to drift and unless we correct the problem we will end up in spiritual accident that could have devastating consequences.

What Are We Going To Do? We Have Great Opportunities Before Us?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Feb 6, 2019

Repairing God's House Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Feb 12, 2019

Taking care of the facilities God has blessed us with is important. The condition of God’s house often is a reflection of God’s people who gather there. If the house is in disrepair, the surrounding community would think the people who gather there are in disrepair as well.

Praying Aloud Or Playing Around?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 27, 2020

"Strike The Iron While It’s Hot!”

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 30, 2021

Elisha put his hands on the King's and said "Shoot!" Then the King banged the arrows, but only 3X. God gave him the opportunity for complete spiritual victory, but the King was only halfway committed. We must make a 100% dedication if we want God's best!

“STRIKE THE IRON WHILE IT’S HOT!” 2 Kgs. 13:15-19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: MISTAKEN FOR GOD 1.

Empty The Quiver

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 8, 2021

Christians have been fighting the wrong battle with the wrong weapons and when they get a clue they do not empty their quiver

The Church Of Thyatira: The Consequences Of Appeasing Jezebel

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 23, 2023

Thyatira was the smallest of the seven cities mentioned in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3. It is also the city about which little is known. Yet, it is to this church that Jesus addresses His longest letter.

Thyatira was founded by the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great some 300 years before the birth of Christ. The name Thyatira means "unceasing sacrifice". It more than likely received this name because it was a military "buffer city", located some 40 miles southeast of ...read more

Don’t Limit Your Miracle!

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 17, 2023

The woman’s limitation to believe staff can work hindered the miracle. If she would have trusted that the staff was enough for God to heal, that would have been enough for her miracle to manifest. This teaches us an important lesson that we can limit the power of God through our lack of faith.

The Bible has accounts of several miraculous healings both in the Old and New Testament: Namaan, being healed of his leprosy, Hezekiah healed of his lump, Bartholomew healed of his blindness, a man at Bethesda healed of his paralysis and the list continues. Even today, we hear testimonies around ...read more
