    We must first recognize the destruction of our lives before we can be delivered. Once we're delivered, Jesus deploys us to live on mission for Him.

    Countering Drip-By-Drip Change...

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jun 10, 2016
     | 4,499 views

    Sometime change in our, and our churches, Christian perspective is so slow that we fail to recognize what is happening. It is like the drip-by-drip change, which Nazi ideology brought to Germany.

    Countering Drip-by-Drip Change... Illustration We need to take the time to question how the German people could have allowed Nazi fanatics to turn their country into a Satanic tool that killed Jews by the millions? While it is true that early on some Germans openly adopted pagan and irreligious ...read more

     | 43,990 views

    The birth of Jesus is a beautiful picture of God sending His Son to this earth to take on the form of man and become the sacrificial lamb that would satisfy the requirements of the law for all of eternity. But His birth was more than that!

    SUMMARY The birth of Jesus is a beautiful picture of God sending His Son to this earth to take on the form of man and become the sacrificial lamb that would satisfy the requirements of the law for all of eternity.

    A good ambassador doesn’t hide out at the embassy and study the U.S. Constitution; he goes out into his assigned country and meets with its citizens. He delivers the message from his boss.

    INTRODUCTION In our country we have hundreds of courts where thousands of lawyers are asking questions of witnesses. Most of them are pretty sharp characters. But in every one of these courts, there is a court reporter taking down everything being said. Because of that we have a record of some ...read more

    The Prison Of God's Promotion

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 25, 2020
     | 6,059 views

    Your restriction, though onerous, may be God's means of bringing glory to His Name through promoting you. This becomes obvious through a study of Joseph's trials and promotion as God worked in his life.

    “Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison. But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in ...read more

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018
     | 10,136 views

    Miracles happen every day but all too often Jesus is not credited with them. It is time we took the offensive in our battle of faith and openly use the name of Jesus with every opportunity. Do you believe that by Jesus name miracles can and do occur?

    The Power of Jesus Name Acts 3:1-10 Message: Jesus is the most powerful name in all Eternity. Philippians 2:10 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, Jesus name was chosen by God the Father.

     | 6,861 views

    Paul frankly discloses his spiritual balance sheet in terms of What he Renounced and What he Received in converting to Christianity, and looking back 30 years later, What he once Counted and What he still Counts.

    PAUL’S SPIRITUAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY Nothing fascinates me more than a good biography. Perhaps, like me, you’re curious to know the motives that are behind the person’s actions and to learn how his character develops.

    The world’s money says, “Keep me for yourself.” God’s money says, “Save me for a purpose.” We need to find the balance between saving wisely and hoarding, focusing on honoring God with our money.

    Today, we're going to talk about money! But before we dive in, let's do a little object lesson. I want you all to imagine you've just won a million dollars. What's the first thing you'd do? Buy a new car? A house for your parents? Or maybe you'd save it all? Imagine you've just won a million ...read more
