The Shocking Truth Is Not All Who Call Jesus "Lord” Are Saved. Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Feb 21, 2024

More people will walk the broad road to destruction than will find the narrow path to life.

This warning should stir us to examine our own hearts and lives, lest we be among those who cry, “Lord, Lord!” yet are met with the terrifying words, “I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Let us not be deceived by outward appearances or religious accomplishments. Judas, a ...read more

Rain On Me

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

We are living in similar days like the days of Elijah the prophet. What needs to be revived are MIRACLES, DOUBLE-ANOINTING and THE HARVEST in our churches. You and I have a major role to play.

Apparently, the days of Elijah were filled with trials, famine (of the Word), drought, peril, apostasy, Baal worship and discouragement but this did not dissuade the prophet Elijah from doing the work that God assigned him and so must the church (we) today. We as a church and our nation are living ...read more

House Beautiful

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Oct 29, 2023

Why should we adorn the house of God? How should we? Should we?

We’ve come a long way, haven’t we, since the Puritans trashed the glorious medieval churches of England and Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the monasteries, melting down altarware and images, largely to enrich the civil treasury. Under Oliver Cromwell, though, ...read more

The Threat Of Natural Forces

Contributed by Howard Gunter on Jun 23, 2018

We are subject to nature and the forces of nature. Jesus the Omnipotent has power over nature and natural disasters.

Weekend Message/Devotion June 24, 2018 Mark 4:35-41 The Threat Natural Forces The threat of impending danger from natural forces lingers among us today. Yet, it was also a threat in Jesus’ day.

The Suffering Servant

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Sep 14, 2012

Israel believed that the Messiah that was to come would be a conquering Messiah. The sermon discribes the Messiah as the Suffering Servant who offers the hearers an informative tongue and helps the people by being the Suffering Servant.

Isaiah 50:4-9 The Suffering Servant They longed for a victorious Messiah, not a suffering one. The image of the suffering servant went underground, as it were, lying dormant for centuries. Then, in a very dramatic scene early in his ministry, Jesus quoted from one of the servant ...read more

Seek, Then Knock And Then Ask. Then See What Will Happen For You!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Jun 17, 2012

In this sermon outline I am changing the order of ask, seek and knock to seek, knock and ask. However, it will not change the message of Jesus. He still is the 'Prayer answering God' that loves us more than we can ever understand. God does want to a

SEEK, THEN KNOCK AND THEN ASK. THEN SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU!

Genesis Chapter Nine Series

Contributed by Tom Shepard on Dec 30, 2022

These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Nine. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

GENESIS CHAPTER NINE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is God blesses Noah and sets restrictions and order the life on earth. Noah sins, Ham mocks and Noah curses. (The sin of man continues.) Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 9 God blesses Noah and his sons: permits them to eat ...read more

God's Power In Our Weakness Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Nov 17, 2003

In the Bible is a man who tried and tried to follow Christ closely but failed time and time again… miserably. His name is Peter. Yet God showed His power in Peter’s life. If he can do that with Peter, he can do that with you.

A spiritual leader named Henry Varley shared some words that still serve to challenge God’s people. Here are the words: “The world has yet to see what God will do with and for and through and in and by a man who is fully consecrated to Christ.” God used these words to change a man named D.L. ...read more

Fasting

HUNGER FOR GOD We don’t hear much about fasting these days, certainly there are not many books about it. After all Paul warns Timothy of “people who advocate abstaining from food.” (1Tim 4:1-3). He says to the Colossians “why… do you submit yourselves to decrees, such as ‘Do not handle, do not ...read more

With everything going on around us from wars, natural disasters, food shortages, job losses and high gas prices is this the end days? It may be but what is more important is what God says we need to do to be ready for it.
