The Cry That Stopped God

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 22, 2017

Here's a blind man who could teach us something: he uttered "A Cry that Stopped God” dead in His tracks! There are 5 characteristics of the kind of prayer that will arrest God and move Him to answer. This message will preach.

Core 52 Week 17 - Blessed Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on May 4, 2020

Delivered And Sent

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

In Mark 5:1–20, Jesus enters Gentile territory, confronts a man possessed by a legion of demons, and drives them out. The result: a restored life and a clear choice—keep comfort or welcome Christ’s freeing authority.

You know, it's funny how our culture deals with the idea of demons and spiritual evil. We kind of swing between two extremes, don't we? On one hand, you've got people who roll their eyes at anything supernatural. "Demons? Come on, that's just ancient superstition!" Then on ...read more

What Makes Jesus' Yoke Light? (Matthew 11:1-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

Jesus' expectations are high (Matthew 5-7). So how can he say his yoke is a light burden? Jesus' yoke is not optional, and not secondary. You come to Jesus, in part, by taking on his yoke.

What makes Jesus' yoke light? (Matthew 11:1-30) We were doing family devotions the other night, and I was so proud of two of them, and found their insights so helpful, that I thought I'd sidetrack for a week and just make a record of this for myself.

From Death To Life

Contributed by Gnana Raj on Sep 4, 2021

Genesis 5 contains a genealogy. As Christians, how can we understand and preach this passage christologically? If Jesus said the Scripture speaks of Him, and this stands as part of the inspired scripture, how can we discern its Christological significance?
