    The church needs a revival and here’s a couple of things we need to do to receive it from the hands of God.

    PSALM 85:5-7 “REVIVAL” A) I’m talking about a revival that brings real joy, not just excitement! * There is a vast difference between joy and excitement ....... * Joy = Cheerfulness; Calm delight ...

    Often our lives are cluttered by the residue of past experiences, making it difficult for us to receive the full blessings of God.

    Text: Numbers 4:13 "And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon..." My brothers and sisters, biblically, the origin of the altar goes clear back to Genesis when Noah built an altar to offer sacrifices after the flood. Genesis 8 & 20 says: "And Noah ...read more

    The Law Vs. Grace Vs. Faith PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 115 views

    God’s promises are received by faith, not by our efforts; grace, not performance, secures our acceptance and hope in Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with lists—mental ledgers of what we did right and where we fell short. We carry them like heavy backpacks. We whisper, “Maybe if I try harder, God will be pleased.” And our hearts grow tired, tight, and tentative. Then we come to Romans 4 and hear a fresh breeze blow ...read more

     | 587 views

    Faith is not just believing that Jesus can save; it's asking Him to do it.

    Opening illustration: Suppose you are rushed to the hospital, where a physician examines you and informs you that you are critically ill. He says you’ll die unless you have proper treatment. He then prescribes medicine and says, “If you will take this, I can assure you with absolute certainty that ...read more

    Explore the concept of Jesus as the door to salvation, the benefits of accepting this salvation, and the universal invitation to receive this gift of eternal life.

If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture." This beautiful passage speaks of Jesus as the open door to salvation, the benefits of that salvation, ...read more

     | 6,331 views

    A holy life lived to the glory of God attracts outsiders to ask, "What must I do to be saved?"

    “What must I do to be saved?” [1] I fear many vital, even essential words are disappearing from common usage today. Society as a whole is becoming linguistically impoverished. Some words have been misappropriated; they will never be returned to their proper place in English vocabulary. “Gay,” ...read more

    What Joseph received from God was no different than what we receive as well. He was invited to accept what God was doing and not to push against it. What God invites us to do is the same thing: To accept what He has to offer!

    Love Of The Father, For The Son, For You

    Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Apr 1, 2021
     | 2,901 views

    It is because of the Love of the Heavenly Father that we receive love because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. The love of the Father for the Son is so strong and real. This love includes US! We receive the same relationship with God the father because of His love of the Son.

    Love of the Father for the Son for YOU John 3:35 (KJV) The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. The gospel of John, in a special sense, emphasizes the love in the divine Trinity of the heavenly Father for the Son. The words “love” and “Father” and “Son” occur more ...read more

    Peter asked a question.... How many times must I forgive? Jesus responded by telling a story.

    January 23, 2021 The Context: Peter asked Jesus a question: “How many times do I have to forgive the person who sins against me… 7 times?” Peter’s question was not intended to get Jesus’ opinion so much as it was to toot his own horn of grace and mercy --- Toot! Toot! You see, the Rabbis ...read more
