Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 30, 2012

I Prophecy Life

Contributed by Apostle Bobby Hogan on Sep 21, 2018

God sets the prophet Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones (which represented the house of Israel) for one purpose - to prophesy life. There was so much power and authority in his voice that everything dead in the valley came back to life.

I PROPHESY LIFE “The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

Where Is Your Free Will Taking You? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 1, 2019

Our free will is what got us in trouble in the first place. And unless we surrender it willingly and we are completely certain we don't ever want it back; God will not take it away from us.

Not only did God give each and every one of us a certain potential, but He also gave us the abilities to fulfill it. And the more we use them; the more pleased He is with us. As a matter of fact; our conscious involvements are expected of us by the divine. Jesus' parable of the three talents ...read more

Fact And Faith In Creative Tranquility Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 7, 2021

The intensity of John’s writing increases as he attempts to call the church back to the non-negotiables of the Gospel. In this message attention is drawn to several things: the historicity of Jesus demonstrates God’s redemptive plan and calls for a response.

As John draws this short letter to a close, I am amazed by the manner in which his intensity builds. He increasingly, uses the phrase, we know. His task has been to call the church back to foundational things. The effectiveness of this series of sermons is based on our response to a very ...read more
