Direct And Protect Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 12, 2012

This message deals with the results of using alcohol. The scripture says that it leads to a loss of control which in turn affects our character. We need to pay attention to this warning.

“Driving Between the Lines” Ephesians 5:15-18 We see them every day but most of us don’t pay much attention to them. Since I have been preparing this series I have paid a lot of attention to them. They’re called guardrails. Guardrails are that invisible part of the ...read more

The First Six Seals

Contributed by Timothy Darling on Apr 28, 2010

The seals show the suffering of the world which believers must endure, even if it means martyrdom, but they are precursors to hope.

Like other prophecy, Revelation has a layered quality. Some say it is about the Roman Empire beginning with 70 AD. Some say it is about all time since Christ. Others say it is about the last days. I say, yes it is. One interpretation does not necessarily negate another. Rather, like much ...read more

The Call To The Altar Of Fire

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Sep 20, 2010

Combing 1 Kings 18 & Gen 49 this is a message showing that God is calling His people back to the altar of fire, warts and all. 1 Kings 18 shows the rebuilding of the altar, and Gen 49 shows the character of the tribes called back.

The Call to the Altar of Fire Text: Genesis 49: 1,2 Jacob has twelve sons and he prophesies over them what it would be like for them in last days. I believe this text can be spiritually applied to the body of Christ in the last days. The literal Hebrew is the "end of days". I want to combine it ...read more

Having Power With God

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 26, 2012

Most spend their lives living nominal Christian lives with little or no power. If you and I desire to be more than mundane believers and to have power with God I believe we need to have four key elements – humility, faith, perseverance, and holiness.

Having Power with God Genesis 32:22-30 Jacob spent a night encountering God. At the end of that night his name was changed from “Jacob” which means “supplanter”, “heel catcher”, or “deceiver” to Israel meaning “having power with God”. Jacob was changed. No longer was he going to live his way. As ...read more
