Sermons on Access To The Father:

Samson, The Flawed Savior

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Oct 10, 2021

When we stop trusting in human strength or looking to our own ability, God will act. When we are weakest and most defenseless, God will show grace. It’s when we’re at our lowest that God gets ready to shine his glory, to show that He is our Savior.

There is something called the underdog. It’s the boxer not expected to win the fight. It’s the team up against the undefeated champions from last year. The underdog is an unlikely candidate for success, because he’s too small, or they’re too weak, or inexperienced. Yet we know it’s the underdog ...read more

A Journey Of Faith

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Dec 20, 2020

They were wise men from the east, nothing else is said about their origin here. Contrary to popular Christmas tradition, the Bible does not use the terms three wise men or three kings to describe the travelers who went to see Jesus after his birth.

A Journey of Faith By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- Today as we are approaching and will be celebrating Christmas on this week I felt God taking me in a different direction. I am not going to deal with the traditional Christmas message. Tradition has a major effect on how we perceive ...read more

All Prepared

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Jan 26, 2021

Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

INTRODUCTION Do you agree that in God’s master plan, there is no such thing as “coincidence”? A few weeks ago, your pastor asked if I would be willing to preach today. Not only did I tell him “Yes!” on the spot, but I also told him that I knew exactly what I wanted to preach. You see, God had ...read more

Jesus Delivers His Church

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 28, 2021

In his church, the Lord Jesus is still doing the good work that He has begun, and He is doing it unstoppably.

Beloved in Christ, I’d be worried if the church was a human effort. If it was up to us alone to defend the church, maintain her unity, or increase her numbers, we’d have reason to be concerned. For the church would certainly follow the path of so many man-made clubs and societies—for a while strong ...read more

Today, If You Hear His Voice . . . Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 1, 2021

The possibility of falling away from Christ is greater than most of us think--no one is entirely immune from this awful outcome. It all begins with how we come to respond to God's voice, when we know He has spoken to us, and even in small things, choose to ignore Him.

One of the great challenges of the pastoral profession is discerning who to help among those who are in evident financial need, and when to help them, and then how much to help them. Despite our best and most sincere efforts, pastors young and old, sometimes fail. I remember well the story of a ...read more
