    The 4 elements (strands) that make up the chord that gives us revival within our churches and in our hearts are - Giving - Prayer - Fasting- Communion

    I am going to dedicate 2006 to doing everything I can do to allow revival in this church and within the church body. It won’t be any old revival, either. It will be a revival for our Lord, Jesus Christ, and it will reach out into our community to do things this church has never seen before! But ...read more

    based on 196 ratings
     | 52,822 views

    First in a series of "Purpose-Driven" messages. This one talks about why we are here; our purpose; and our ultimate value as Christians.

    All of us have questions about why we exist. I think the two most asked questions about our lives are: a) The question of reason - "Why am I here?" b) The question of value - "Do I really matter?" Now, if you go around asking different people these questions, you will get many different ...read more

    Using the change seen in Jesus’ brother James, we show how that affects our changing & growing walk with Christ today.

    No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, you did not just suddenly appear there. No, you started as we all start; becoming aware of a need inside your heart that you probably could not explain. Then, you became aware of Jesus Christ, the One known as the Savior and how He could give ...read more

Suddenly a violent windstorm struck the lake, and the boat started taking on water and began to sink. They were in ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 11,802 views

    There is a cost to be paid for everything we do in life, even in our spiritual lives. We explore this concept using King Jehoshaphat and his decision to turn the battle over to God and let God fight it for him.

    Last week, we spoke about our having problems and how those problems will undermine our walk with Christ if we let them. I reminded you of just how important it is to stay on top of the storms in your life, and that you can only do that by fully relying, not on yourself, but on Jesus Christ to ...read more
