    We want power. Everyone wants power. The pursuit of power is what got Adam in trouble and landed us in a fallen world – a creation groaning under the curse and a heart bent toward sin. And yet, what is it that Paul prays for in our text this morning –

    The Power of Holiness Ephesians 3:14-21; 2 Corinthians 6:4-7 Cascades Fellowship CRC, JX MI March 13, 2005 Fourth Sunday of Lent Tim Allen, brought to life one the most beloved and most quoted television characters of all time.

    The Pentecost event tells us of our great need of the Holy Spirit. We must be convinced of two truths: (1) Lives can only be changed with His help, and (2) we can witness effectively only by His power.

    Today is Pentecost Sunday. We want to read about the birth of the church in Acts 2:1-8. We celebrate the birth of Jesus, and everyone knows it is Christmas. We remember His resurrection, and most people recognise that Easter is a special day to the Christians. But when we talk about Pentecost – ...read more

    If we are going to have the power of the Holy Spirit in operation in our lives, we must first get "plugged in", "turned on" and "fired up" with Jesus.

    Plug into the Power By Pastor Jim May (This sermon references a video that was purchased from Sermonspice.com that depicts a young man using a chainsaw without starting it.)

    We talk about prayer, study about it and state how we should pray. But how many of us - practically speaking - have untapped the power of prayer?

    The Power of Prayer Theme: what makes prayer so powerful INTRODUCTION A. Satan knows… 1. If he can afflict the people of God… 2. Or somehow weaken their faith… 3. Then they (God’s people) will be distracted from using their most powerful weapon against him: prayer. B. God knows… 1. If we place our ...read more

    Many times, the one thing that paralyzes us is the unwillingness to seek forgiveness or the bitter spirit that won’t grant it to someone else.

    We are a funny group of people. We are sue happy. We sue for everything from a hot cup of coffee to hurt feelings. Forgiveness has become a lost art. Now everything is about revenge, getting even, making someone pay. Sadly enough, it’s drifted from the secular world into churches today. When we ...read more

    Resurrection Power 3-27-05 1 Corinthians 15:12-23 (NIV) 12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not ...read more
