Contributed by David Dewitt on Sep 2, 2009

Christians have the ability of losing their passion and desire for serving Christ

The Great Exchange: Trading Worry For Worship

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 11, 2025

Exploring Jesus' timeless cure for anxiety, this sermon calls listeners to make the great exchange—trading the illogical, faithless burden of worry for a life of worship that seeks first the Kingdom of a Father who knows and provides for their every need.

Introduction: The Tyranny of "What If?" Good morning, beloved. There is a quiet tyranny that seeks to rule our hearts. It is not an invading army or a foreign power. It is a voice in our own minds, and its weapon is two simple words: "What if?" It is the tyrant that wakes you at ...read more

Benefits Of The Resurrection

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Apr 10, 2023

By rising from the dead, Jesus proved His authority and power to break the bonds of sin and to assure forgiveness and eternal life to all who accept His gift of salvation. Securing our victory over death raised up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Benefits of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Today we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, the day Jesus Christ raised from the dead, not Easter, which has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, the Resurrection, or anything Holy no matter how people try to spin ...read more

Fruit Of Our Lives

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 4, 2015

The Jews consecrated their first-fruits to God as His in a special sense. All Christians are meant to be the first-fruits, the promise and earnest of better work (Romans 8:23). What are the fruits being manifested from your lives?

A Prayer For Spirit-Empowerment (Ephesians 3:14-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025

God will help his people live faithfully, by empowering them through his Holy Spirit, if they ask. So ask, for yourselves, and for your church. Empowerment isn't just about "charismatic" things. It's empowerment for faithfulness also-- and probably faithfulness first.

Over the past few weeks, we've read about how God is now revealing to his church something that was a closely guarded secret for centuries. God had this hidden, master plan to bring all things together, in heaven and on earth. And what that looks like on earth, is that God is making one ...read more

Heaven Exists

Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 22, 2021

Yes, heaven exists but the description of the three (or more) levels of heaven are illusive. Also, do we have bodies there? Are we conscious? Do we have tactile feelings similar to what we experience now?

Heaven Exists Before we get into the existence of heaven, let's consider exactly when do we go? As with numerous Biblical topics, many churches, under Christianity's umbrella, have different beliefs on these topics. The following are my thoughts as reinforced by the specified verses from ...read more

Contributed by Keith Edwards on Apr 27, 2002

Many of us are asking the same question David asked - How Long?
