    The Message God Blesses--No Matter Who Or How Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 21, 2023
     | 1,762 views

    What is the Message God promises to bless? What message would you tell to a dying man who is on the precipice of eternity?

    It was probably 15 or 20 years ago when our church was meeting on Holman Way when I ran into a youth group leader about 20 minutes before a Bible Study on Wednesday night. Her name was Caroline, and I asked her how she was doing. She said okay, but in such a manner that I knew she definitely was ...read more

    "where Is The Power Of God In Today's Church?"

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Feb 22, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,522 views

    Those who embrace this message will be inspired to pursue a deeper relationship with God. Understanding that God's power is not limited to inside the church. Many people often follow pastors instead of seeking God's presence, leading to a greater power outside the church than inside.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Mark 16:17-18) (17) "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;" (18) "They shall take up serpents; and if they ...read more

    Beyond The Upper Room: The Promised Empowerment Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 1, 2023
     | 1,636 views

    The Second Chapter of Acts describes the birth of the church in accordance with the declaration of the Lord Jesus (Matthew 16:13-19). Acts shows the power and direction of the Holy Spirit in the work of the church beyond the day of Pentecost.

    Every Bible-believing follower of Jesus Christ will confess, affirm, and proclaim that what happened to the one hundred and twenty followers of Jesus on the Day of Pentecost was an undeniable supernatural act of the Holy Spirit in accordance with the teaching and promise given by the Lord Jesus ...read more

    Beyond The Upper Room: The Proclamation Of The Church

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 8, 2023
     | 1,419 views

    This message gives a survey of the events leading up to Pentecost and the command from the Lord Jesus to preach the Gospel to everyone. This is an adaptation of a message from the 1995 edition of the Zondervan's Pastor's Annual. It needed no update, for the Word of God is eternal.

    The disciples were made up of men who had been called from their chosen professions to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Having left all, it must have seemed to them that at the crucifixion of Jesus they had lost all. Following the admonition of their Lord, whom they saw disappear into the clouds, they ...read more

    Waiting For Jesus

     | 1,588 views

    Don’t wait for angels while waiting for Jesus to return. Be ready for Jesus by being someone’s angel.

    A couple of decades ago there was a really popular television show called Touched by an Angel. How many of you used to watch it? It was pretty good, wasn’t it? It was optimistic and uplifting without being overly sugary or sentimental. So think back. Wouldn’t it be great if, just when you most ...read more

    This Changes Everything: The Second Advent Series

    We often think of the Christmas story being the whole story, or the beginning of the Jesus story that ends with his resurrection, but in reality it goes much further than that

    “I love it when a plan comes together.” Those of you who are older than dirt probably remember this phrase being used by Hannibal Smith in the A-Team. It was first used in the pilot of the show on January 23, 1983. That will be forty years ago in two months. Forty years before that Canada was in ...read more

    Reasoning In Righteousness

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 1, 2022
     | 1,249 views

    The Lord Jesus told His followers to go out and preach the Gospel to every living creature (Mark 16:15). That means using of Scripture, thought, reason, and logic under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to show people the need to turn to Christ for salvation.

    In today's butchery of the English language where emojis are used more than words to share information and ideas, I think that it is time for all of us to get off the machines for a few moments and learn something from the great men of God whose counsel and wisdom have been forgotten.

    An unlocked door can keep you out if you don’t know it is unlocked. What did Jesus unlock for us?

    Unlocked Pt. 1 - A Power Grab I. Introduction It may be truth. It may simply be legend, but either way it is a story worth retelling. I have told it to you before but stay with me.

    God has saved the best for last! This earth is headed for a glorious finish as God’s holy creation. God promises to establish His kingdom in righteousness and peace on a global scale. Hard to imagine when we look around us at the fallen and depraved conditions of our day.

    Sermon: The Best is Yet To Come! Isaiah 65:17-25 “Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore.18 Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation! And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness.

    A Short teaching on being Overshadowed by the Holy Spirit

    Overshadowed When we think about a shadow, we generally think of something dark and sinister just lurking outside our sight, and it fills us with fear. The idea or the link between shadows and fear is seen in the statement made where a person is afraid of their own shadow. We see such fear when ...read more

     | 2,211 views

    This message will answer the following questions: Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? What did the shepherds do after they left Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus? What did Mary do? What other events might Mary have pondered in her heart?

    Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? (Luke 2:8-16) God chose to tell His good news to the lowly. He sent His angels with the message to shepherds, who were watching their sheep in the fields that night. An angel said, "A Savior, who is Christ the Lord, has been born today in ...read more

    No matter what situation you find yourself in this Christmas, please believe that God loves you, that God wants to use you, and that God can use you. Then let God use you for His glory.

    Philip Griffin, senior pastor of the Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, Wisconsin, describes a lost dog sign he once saw. There was a big cash reward for whoever found the lost dog, and a description of the dog. It read: "He's only got three legs, he's blind in the left eye, he's ...read more

    Are The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit The Same Essence?

     | 1,977 views

    In the church, a lot of confusing language is used to try and explain or define things.

    Today we will look at the Trinity, often defined as "one in ‘essence,’ three in person." What does that mean exactly? God is three Persons, and the name 'God' implies one ‘essence.’ If God is "three Persons," how can there be "one" ‘essence’? The meaning of the ...read more
