     | 1,474 views

    Souls mean a lot to the Lord who has called us into ministry. We need the right strategies to help us be effective in winning souls.

    INTRODUCTION There are many people who desire to hear the gospel and be changed. Many of them are tired of their lives and want something meaningful, something real, something they can live for and die for. They just do not know how to identify their real need. There are people in high places who ...read more

    Make Every Day Count Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 17, 2022
     | 4,695 views

    A clear mind will help us to pray more appropriately for a given situation. Christ is coming again and time is running out. This should lead us to a sound prayer life.

    We need, from time to time, to be reminded that we never know how much time we have left. I used to visit a man name David Fatheringham. He was a faithful believer in his eighties. The doctor said to him, you might not live long at all. I can’t even assure you that you will see another day. But on ...read more

    Contemplative Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,716 views

    Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

    Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

    Addicted To The Ministry

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022
     | 3,744 views

    We tend to think of negative things when we think of addictions, but there can also be good addictions. For example, I’m addicted to oxygen. Men, if you’re addicted to your wife, that’s a good thing. Women, it’s great to be addicted to your husband. But what about ministry?

    Did you know that a huge addiction is sweeping across our nation? People are addicted to their smart phones! They have to constantly be checking facebook, Twitter, their email, YouTube, Pinterest, or texting. Listen to these startling statistics: —The National Safety Council reports that cell ...read more

    Life is tough, somehow it never turns out the way the movie pictures it, be wise and smart. The agenda of the enemy is to stop growth, multiplication and progress.

    Quiet Time With God

    Contributed by Patrick Agbonkpolor on Dec 3, 2020
     | 9,259 views

    Christianity is all about a relationship with our Creator and one way of enhancing the relationship is through Quiet Time or personal devotion. If we are faithful to this age-long practice we will have a deeper and closer walk with God.

    TOPIC: QUIET TIME WITH GOD. TEXT: ISAIAH 41:1; MARK 1:35 "Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together for judgment" "And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went ...read more

    "i Will Be Diligent: Part 2" Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 23, 2020
     | 3,689 views

    The man of God is to not follow trends, fads, feelings, what people would like to hear, or preach messages that make them feel "good", but instead preach the Gospel without compromise or apology and to stay committed no matter what happens.

    The previous message based on 2 Timothy began with the definition of diligence. It means being constant in your efforts, finish what you started, stay committed to the task and not quit or become distracted. Preparation and thought are a part of this process. Never start anything without going ...read more

    "A Simple Matter”

     | 2,273 views

    As God gives freely to the unworthy, so he gives richly, like himself, more than we are able to ask or think. His gifts outdo our requests and expectations.

    2 Kings 3:9-18 “A Simple Matter” January 15, 2023 The Division King Jehoram of Israel was not an honorable man. “He did evil in the sight of the Lord” Though he was not like his father Ahab or his mother Jezebel because he put away the sacred things of the false god Baal, we are told that he still ...read more

    Thanksgiving -Thank You For Your Order....god The Father Asked Jesus A Hard Thing.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 16, 2021
     | 1,747 views

    One of the ways that Israel stimulated a sense of gratitude and fidelity was remembering the exodus from captivity to liberation: “remember that you were once slaves...remember that it was God who liberated you and brought you to a land of promise."

    Simple Act of Gratitude is a book that tells the story of an inspiration, the writing of 365 Thank You Notes, and how John Kralik’s life was changed from a life full of debts and disasters, to learning to be grateful for the life he had. I decided that I would try this too, and so I did starting ...read more
